kurt puts much thought and planning into his work, with generally positive, occasionally moving results. his craftsmanship i could not question. as for spontaneity, that's another matter.

The Warner Bros. albums were kinda la-la. Is that what you're referring to? yes, but i have so much respect for her i really regret writing that.

with all respect to alice, a lot of her later stuff was junk, in my opinion.

mclaughlin and santana did a very spiritual album early 70's. spirit, surrender, unity or something like that. too inebriate to recall. they were dressed in white on cover. gorgeous mclaughlin guitar effort. memorable ..........house of the lord. the rather unstructured 'summun' also contains a hair-raising 'house.'

the art on jon and don's 'human music' is all the liner notes i need.

didnt i recently hear from a musician that the loft scene was no better financially for the artist than the club and recording scene? i believe andrew hill said that in an interview about 10 years ago.

went to visit atavistic and this one wont be available till mid-june. damn!

I assumed it was going to go downhill after that -- I'm glad they are leaving them alone. Good stuff on tap, as well, although somewhat hard to find around here. But. big thumbs down to their new "Summer Shandy: Weiss Beer with Lemonade". i dont dig their wheat beer either, but most kugel is hard to beat for the money.

heard a great show at the bop stop couple months ago with evelyn wright and the cleveland jazz orchestra. evelyn can hang with anybody as a vocalist.

love all of leiny's stuff. strange how miller bought them and leave their brews alone, and added lots of marketting.

miles e.s.p.---one of the first and still one of the best, jazz vinyls i have ever bought. happy 70th, roncar!

this highly regarded aventinus wheat doppelbock is not for me. i appreciate the generous 8% abw, but it tastes like creosote smells. i dont know this type beer, though.

am quite sure that comment wouldnt apply to the freeman.......

I believe that is the bassoon you're referring to (aka the "farting bedpost"). Most orchestral trombone parts consist of several hundred bars of rests. this was coming from the trombone area. you are spoiling my surmisal. this was very early in mahler's third, and there was that very morning an article in the cleveland paper about the orchestra's new lead trombonist debut.

my sincere sympathies for your loss. in one week, last week, i lost a dog and cat, each of which had been with me over 20 years, and 5 months ago, my beloved chihuahua. for the first time in 47 years i dont have a dog around, and it really sucks. you cant replace the unique and special love of each family pet.

you cant, in iowa, then, shoot your 'bone even when it makes those occasional ghastly sounds in the quiet passages of a symphony.

good god. they are going to outlaw bruckner and confiscate all the scores.

his new live album from paris is a beaut'. that version of 'round midnight' is awesome.

What I read was that his contract requires him to tell jokes in poor taste, and that he would be given a warning before he would be fired if he said anything in too poor taste. So CBS not only knew what they were getting, they were requiring it. I also understand his contract to be five years at $10 million per year. He worked one year of the five and was fired. So he isn't suing to get his job back; he's suing to get the $40 million left on the contract. I hope he gets his money, too. He's no "dumbass", and he's hired one of the foremost First Amendment lawyers in the country to represent him. The hypocrisy at CBS and MSNBC during this mess was monumental. I don't defend what he said, it was offensive, but CBS and MSNBC didn't bail on Imus until the big corporations cancelled their advertising. Had the advertisers mostly hung in there, Imus would be back on the air by now, finished with his two week suspension. And yet CBS and MSNBC issued statements about how offended they were by his act....and yet they knew exactly what they were getting, and even required edgy humor as part of his contract. very well said.

territory band 4 includes an heartfelt homage. bravo!

fantasy football in the nba in a hardcore music forum? why arent we discussing 'who taught art tatum'?
