I vote for Steven Bernstein's "Diaspora Suite".

Bump.... Anybody ever seen Goliath Tigerfish before? They're big, and have some nasty teeth too! They are found in the Congo River in Africa.

should've just passed the buck. I agree. That's what a cannibal would have done.

I don't think so.

the difference is that one is a sick fuck and the other just likes to have sex with dead animals.

Jim - I think alot of it has to do with how one enters the joint. This place IS a cyber-community where alot of us have known each other for some time now. If a new person wants to join the group that's great - fresh ideas are usually a great thing. But coming in and right away telling people you know ALOT about jazz, and being dismissive of professional writers, producers, musicians, and board members in general - that ISN'T a good way to make an initial impression. Free's comments about getting the lay of the land make alot of sense IMO. Or at least coming in and buying everyone a figurative round of drinks, instead of knocking their drinks over.

Whoa - are u guys the Bill and Ted from the future or somethin?

Then why not buy the one on Amazon for $20 that plays perfectly? :rsly:

Well said, Free.

Wherever that is, I'm sure they have cell-phone towers.

Because this thread is in the Forums Discussions folder? But it's 6 pages of discussion about someone thinking about joining in the discussion elsewhere on this board. I just don't get it. Maybe we should invite Pollock to think about considering joining in the discussion that we've been having about considering the concept of starting a band.

That looks familiar!!!

Your Tacos or Your Life! FONTANA, Calif. (AP) — A hunger for carnitas nearly led to some carnage after a Fontana man was robbed of a bag of tacos at gunpoint. Police Sergeant Jeff Decker said the 35-year-old victim had just bought about $20 in tacos from a street-corner stand Sunday night and was bicycling home when the suspect confronted him and said "Give me your tacos." Decker said the suspect grabbed the bag of food, punched the victim in the face and began to flee. When the victim demanded his tacos back, the suspect pointed what appeared to be a handgun at the man and threatened to kill him before running away.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Hans - you are missed here.

Happy Birthday!~

I'm still impressed by the fact that he (not Wynton, the 26 year old dude) was into modal jazz when he was 4 years old. And yet can't explain *why* Wynton is one of the best ever, other than to say that "I know what I like, and I like what I know" (quote courtesy Big Al's great post) P.S. - Peter Gabriel is now stuck in my head Al, thanks alot!

Thanks, I'll take your advice under consideration.

Yeah, but how many of those "thousands" of records you own are actually good? That's what's important. Having said that, I own about 3500 jazz cds. You have alot of learning to do, buddy. Your Bud Powell comment is pretty telling. You do realize you're not talking with a bunch of teenagers in here, right? Because that's how you're coming across.

I'm so ronery.....so ronery and sadry arone....

Instead of re-inventing countless conversations, why not do some searches on both this board and AAJ about Wynton. Everything you've asked has been gone over before. In fact your comments aren't exactly new either, but do exhibit symptoms of someone who's got alot more jazz ahead of him to explore, than he has already done exploring. There's alot of good music out there, check it out before deciding Wynton's one of the best. I don't think you've done enough "consuming" yet. In fact, I think it will take years before you can come to a reasonable conclusion. Most people here probably have 10, 20, 40 more years of listening experience than you do. Stick around and have patience. Oh, and if people give you what you consider to be unkind and unfriendly comments, rise above it and don't respond with mean comments. Just a suggestion - it will help your credibility.

Chuck Finessa. Has a ring to it.

Don't give him any ideas!

Happy Birthday!
