  4. double click the clock in the lower right hand corner of your screen. Check the various possibilities, there should be an option to have the clock change automatically.
  5. playing it now, the first tune is one of those typical early 70s Shepp chanting ditties. Lots of steady rock beat with plenty of people shouting and singing the same phrase over and over again. Slow build-up of instrumental figures moving in and out of the mix. Pretty not so fantastic the longer it carries on, really. The two Massey tunes that complete the album are much more worth the while. Dr King is a short and pretty ballad, but the final tune then again breathes some of that amateurism on the stage that Shepp seemed to have been so fond of those days, maybe mistaking it for cuddly spontaneity; and, to be frank, also these tunes get stranded in endless repetitive chants and figures that attempt a climax but do not really succeed in reaching it. The long tunes are too long and carry too little meat. They offer some nice soundscapes though.

  10. Happy Birthday! I bought you a plane. If you want a beer as well, you'll have to fly over.
  11. that's the ticket, the only thing missing is some dancing, like the saying goes: "a spot of wine, a bite of cheese, some dancing... you know, generally having a good time"
  12. Yes, it did! But yesterday night was the greatest in a long, long time! Sometimes life takes unexpected twists, and this year it has taken me back to Stockholm again in less than happy circumstances. But it has allowed me to make an old dream a reality; I've managed to put together a jazz group with some very skilled musicians. Three horns + rhythm, with a kind of big band-ish approach (extensive arrangements - allthough with generous solo space - which makes the most of the horn frontline). So yesterday was the first time we tried out a few of my arrangements. And it went very well! It such a joy when something turns out to sound better than you thought! I feel confident that the happy memories of yesterday will last until our next rehearsal in two weeks. But as I'm no fast writer, I'll have to invest quite a few night in writing some more arrangements... It will be fun, though! Thanks once again for all the congrats! ←
  13. Happy Birthday Gee (with G as in Go)!!! And many more to come. Drive safely, I know I do.
