By Don Heckman, Special to the Los Angeles Times February 24, 2012 Mike Melvoin, a pianist/composer/arranger whose credits reach from Stan Getz and Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson and the Beach Boys, and who was the first active musician to serve as national president of the Recording Academy, has died. He was 74. A first-call pianist and keyboardist since the early 1960s, Melvoin died Wednesday at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, said his daughter Wendy. He had cancer. In addition to his studio work, Melvoin remained strongly linked to jazz, his first musical love, performing on a regular basis in local clubs, frequently touring internationally and releasing numerous recordings of his own groups.

i,ve seen, and been inspired, by all of jeremy's knick games. he is most definitely nba-counterculture. to see the media take small human interest stories(especially those in media centers)and build them into continents of hot air and profit is typical of today's pop-culture. my take is that most folks are sickened by the vile nba superstar b.s.

Not Mravinksy's Pathetique on DG? a splendid choice, indeed. thx.

barney flats oatmeal stout barney flats oatmeal stout will go unnoticed. it's from a little known unheralded brewery with no creds. this may be the finest stout i've ever experienced. one pour and i was deep in love. one sip. no! it's as black as black could ever be. my heart quickened. ahhhhhhhhh----- this beer is a timeless classic. the modest 6.0 abv belies the flavor of drinks with 3 times the kick and 50 times the renown. the taste is an explosion like the blooming of a lily the incredible oily thick mouthfeel-- hints of sweet raisins, caramel, creosote, apricot, expresso, nutty, bitter chocolate-capped by a classic aftertaste, echoing with the grace of a fine symphony in a grand hall. barney flats oatmeal stout is as seductive as any drink i've tasted. you won't find a better balanced stout. brahms 4th symphony-2nd movement

the dwarves take on calves. presumably, no one is injured.

dwarf bullfighting They say they do it because they want to be taken seriously as athletes, but it’s difficult to watch this troupe of “dwarf” bullfighters, and not cringe just a little. The Enanitos Toreros are a group of six comedians from Yucatan who travel across Mexico to stage bullfights. Another group from South America performs mainly in Colombia. But the Mexican troupe performs about one-third of their shows in the U.S. USA Today:-article continues with link

i will definitely try that one.

strangely, this concept is not repellant to me. i can see how the saltiness and the sweetness in a bacon shake might compliment each other, much like pineapple and pepperoni on a pizza. sometimes yin plus yang equals yum. there is no JOB in my area, but it's a copycat world........ some of our intrepid reporting staff has done there and been that, i'm sure.

very well chosen classical music with some solo guitar and solo piano. youtube has 9 or 10 samples.... there was considerable difficulty in releasing this film. nobody wanted it.

all dead people are immediately absolved of all transgressions and debts. every funeral i've attended stated that the deceased, no matter how flawed and unrepentant. had entered the promised land. the financial key for most any recording jazz musician would be to 'fake it.'

amen, brother jazz. to me, criticism of this movie is more a reflection on the critic than the film. this is one of a very few recent films that i will purchase.

the tree of life, released in 2011, is a beautiful motion picture. the award winning film has gorgeous cinematory, the finest film soundtrack i've EVER heard, and inspired directing, production, and acting. critics of the film suggest that the movie is plodding, fragmented, and nonlinear. those effects, for me, enhance the movie. a 1960s mother receives a telegram that her 19 year old son has passed away; the father is notified by telephone. the ensuing family flashbacks are very personal, beautiful, and often heart wrenching. just when i was about to give up on modern films, along came the tree of life. there is no gratuitous violence, quick camera action edits, cuts, sex, or nudity. the story is by no means farfetched. it is as down to earth as you and me. the creation scene is an epic of film making. scenes with living characters at different stations of life were very powerful and effective. if you haved lived life and experienced the beauty and perils of being a child in a family, raising a family and earning a living, this is a movie for you. the movie may fall short of it's market as it probes the meaning of life. the film comes very close, offering no pat simplistic answers. the tree of life is an inspired, searching, loving film, and will likely move you deeply. a scene from the tree of life

considering the jazz/music, film, alcohol, and internet addictions of most "O" members, how do they(we) manage to squeeze them all in? seriously, one notable cmment from the article: in the UK, it has long been understood that USA's Food & Drugs Administration was nothing more than a creation of the drug companies which hijacked medicine for its own commercial ends. Whilst we fully accept DSM-IV as the "bible" of mental health, we have long since disregarded the USA's guidelines on physical health & medicine, regarding them as retrograde. Your doctors are effectively banned from carrying out effective treatments widely available in Europe & the rest of the world as FDA limits them to prescribing drugs or carrying out surgery. It comes as no surprise therefore that DSM-V lists numerous social conditions as if they were mental illnesses. Mental illness in general is highly subjective and is as likely to respond to a placebo as to any drug. Given also that our understanding of the brain & mental illness is about as advanced as our understanding of the body was over 100 years ago, it makes social unease into fertile ground for peddling the equivalents of "granny's patent cure-all medicine" in country fairs, but under the guise of research & respectable legally regulated practise. There are some recent advances in understanding of mental matters that should be incorporated e.g. a definition of the difference between mental illness and mental injury. In DSM-IV the only mental injury listed is PTSD and it is not even mentioned that unlike the other mental conditions PTSD is exclusively an injury and never an illness. Given the "sue for everything" culture of the United States, it's surprising the legal sharks didn't grab this one. On the other hand, it is quite horrific that where it has been shown that a murderer is affected by a combination of genetics and nurture he has been spared the death penalty because apparently he had no choice and is quite likely to murder again, where a person showing genuine empathy & repentance is likely to be executed. This is an exacct reversal of Biblical justice! I'm sorry folks, the leading position on the understanding of mental conditions that the USA used to have in the world is likely to be undermined by the publication of DSM-V.
