They needed help with that?

Of course - they're parodies of the real motivational posters that were popular a while back. Ah...so they should be called Motivational parodies. <sigh> Yes, yes they should be called motivational parodies. I thought that was sort of self apparent.

Sidd Finch, hands down. I saw him pitch once years ago, for the Corpus Christi Beach Dawgs, in the Continental Baseball League. Still can't believe what I saw that day.

Paul Bley - Solo in Mondsee Duke Ellington & Coleman Hawkins (on BMG at the moment, will probably show up at yourmusic shortly)

For Conn

There are existing threads on Wayne Shorters albums, Wayne Shorter the musician, and Wayne Shorter's compositions. Since you apparently aren't leaving like you promised, please use the search function before starting redundant threads.

Thanks BF! And I'd suggest that the poster add to the existing threads - or at least be courteous and try to check them before starting new ones.

It's not Abercrombie, but do you have the Coryell "Tributaries" album? It includes both Joe Beck and Scofield, all acoustic. Nice recording, with one solo track, a couple of duos, and the rest is all three together.

What's weird? We all like to talk to each other, we have senses of humor (well, that's debatable! ), and threads are allowed to go off topic here. Sometimes better conversations evolve out of tangential comments, sometimes not. It's not a dry, stiff, formal place here.

Since you're new here, you'll get some recommendations to use the search function and add to existing threads, instead of trying to start from scratch. Here are two existing threads with healthy discussion of Stanko: Tomasz Stanko Thread #1 Tomasz Stanko Thread #2 It makes it easier when people are searching for existing threads to find information in one thread instead of 20, IMO. Therefore it doesn't make sense to start a new thread every time a new poster arrives on the scene and think he's creating a discussion that didn't exist before.

Cavaliers picked up Big Ben and Sczcerbiak today in a three way trade, but gave up Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden (both to Chicago), and Donyell Marshall (to Seattle).

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.
