has the internet bluegrass station in d.c. shut down? i remember playing "paul bley and peacocks not one, not two...." for one of my hardcore mandolin playing friends. i thought he would really be impressed. after one of the solo bass pieces he remarked "when do they start?"

Thanks, Bev. I like my music to be a bit more daring as well. I'm starting to get the sense that as ECM ages, its repertoire as a whole is less and less likely to be daring. I could be wrong though, just my impression. FWIW, I'm a big fan of the label. i went through an ecm phase for most of the 70s when i bought little else. some of the early ecm has aged so very beautiful and many stand alone for their stark beauty and uniqueness.. the touchstone, crystal shadows, egberto, some of the very classy surman stuff, nice guys, eberhard, chick's solo efforts, some of the rypdal stuff, keith's gorgeous staircase, paul bley's prodigous and introverted enter, to love. i think maybe my reactions to jarrett have colored my perspective on all of ecm for the past decade. he is barely tolerable these days and i dont know why. i know that i have missed much really fine music.

I'm looking forward to this one! aye

maybe change forum name to fotissimo? last night in the neighbor's backyard, OLD IDEA, plugging their new delmark release. often buttery toned cornet and brilliant composer JOSH BERMAN, tenor saxophonist with a wonderful rich tone that only comes out of a fine old horn KEEFE JACKSON, bassist ANTON HATWICH, vibraphonist JASON ADASIEWICZ, and drummer NORI TANAKA.

Okay, okay. But you've got to admit that Sinha would be a good name for a beer - maybe even better than Singha. I still like Chang better than either one.... haha. after a 6 bagger of the stuff in an afternoon, one should be allowed to drop a letter.

Have you ever tried Chang? I find it a little less bitter than Sinha. no. thanks!!!!!!!!!! apparently sinha is brewed under many names. it lost its charm after consuming a 6 bagger today. sinha is just ok, no way excellent. .....it takes a pretty picture, though.

as much baxter as aloc owns, perhaps he should stock up on several bottles of 151.

an excellent thai beer.

.........and the news section isnt in the same league with google

anything with a msn tag on it i stay away from. their stuff is revolting. their new search engine is an exception. http://www.bing.com/?FORM=MFEHPG&PUBL=...4b68a67916fd151 example: in video searches, youtube(because google owns it). do a video search wih bing.

for "bevleton"

that's great to hear. it seems that ex is treating him very well. that is far too often not the case... may you have many many more joyous visits. my beloved dogs have all passed now, and i wont start a new doggie relationship that i may not be able to finish because of age and health, but each of my departed doggie friends............

paul bley's is perhaps the most tasteful and musical, and never detracts (me)from his huge catalogue.
