Odd first post on a jazz bulletin board... pulling up a 3 yr old thread about moving. If this isn't spam, welcome to the board!

Sounds like an interesting show, Bill. Do you know if this is a tour or a one-off performance? I checked Vu and Frisell's websites, but neither mention this lineup.

Type hereFree's on a roll!!!!

You guys are veering dangerously close to coherence, like Chuck did. So here's a teapot.

Speaking of Free for All, isn't today his birthday?

That's too coherent!

Why is the spongocoel invisible? Is it in denial?

It's a joke, pertaining to Durium's typo.

I was only disputing the statement that "Doin the Thing" is Horace's only official live recording. All of the others were legitimately released on labels, whether it's on a "real" label (like Fantasy or 32 Jazz), or on Horace's own label, like the ones on Emerald or Silveto. None of the above are bootlegs. They may be "archival" releases, which may be what you're referring to, since they weren't released back in the 50's or 60's or whenever. But if you argue that an archival release isn't a legitimate release, where does that leave things like Coltrane's "One Up, One Down", or the Dizzy/Bird Town Hall release on Uptown? It's not really that big a deal though, more live Horace is certainly welcome.

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday!!!

What's up with hand shaped chairs?

Some interesting comments in this previous thread.

Impressive website, Porcy! I've visited Italy a number of times, but never in the B&B style. It looks like it would be wonderful.

I'm kinda surprised at that, myself! That, combined with their quick playoff exit, maybe will light a fire under the Cowboys next season to not coast into the playoffs. It may help motivate the Pats too, though they've got plenty of other things to motivate themselves - 18-1, Spygate I & II now, etc. I really question the alleged motivational power of "bulletin board" quotes. Possibly it exists, to a limited extent, for super-brash quotes regarding the upcoming week's game, or for nasty ad hominem comments about individual players, but I doubt that Strahan's Cowboys statement will have any effect (or even be remembered) when the '08-'09 season starts. You're probably right, but in one sense I hope it helps them realize the opportunity they may have squandered this year in the playoffs. Being the first #1 seed in something like 20 years to lose in the first round should be enough embarrassment.

Interesting quote from Michael Strahan, in the NY Post: I'm kinda surprised at that, myself! That, combined with their quick playoff exit, maybe will light a fire under the Cowboys next season to not coast into the playoffs. It may help motivate the Pats too, though they've got plenty of other things to motivate themselves - 18-1, Spygate I & II now, etc.

From Letterman's show last night Top Ten New England Patriots Excuses: 10. What? It's best-of-seven. 9. Too much pre-game chowder. 8. Since when is that dude allowed to catch a ball with his head?! 7. Terrified by that Fox football robot. 6. Everything was fine til' Dr. Phil decided to straighten us out. 5. Should have campaigned harder in Florida. 4. Entire team stayed up late that night before watching Hannah Montana concert movie. 3. Exhausted after spending hours consoling a weepy Terrell Owens. 2. Thought game was supposed to be played on Super Tuesday. 1. Airline lost our 'roids.

I didn't see this coming: Knight resigns from Texas Tech School confirms departure; son Pat takes over team LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -- Bob Knight, known as much for his fiery temper as his basketball brilliance, resigned Monday at Texas Tech, handing the team over to his son. It was a stunning midseason move by the winningest men's coach in major college basketball, who gave no hint a change was coming. Pat Knight, a Red Raiders assistant, was appointed his father's successor in 2005. "There's a transition that's going to take place here from me to Pat and I've dwelt on this all year long ... how it would be best for him and for the team and for what we can do in the long run to make this the best thing for Texas Tech," Knight told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, which first reported the resignation. The 67-year-old Knight informed Texas Tech athletic director Gerald Myers of his decision in a meeting around noon Monday, Texas Tech chancellor Kent Hance told The Associated Press. Knight then called Hance and told him. "He's ready," Pat Knight said during his weekly radio show. "He's tired." Hance said: "I think Bob is through with coaching. I think he got to the point where it wasn't fun for him. "He thought about it Sunday all day and talked to his wife and decided 'This is something I want to do."' The Red Raiders beat Oklahoma State 67-60 on Saturday, giving Knight his 902nd victory. He won national titles at Indiana in 1976, '81 and '87. "I guess you can never be surprised at some of the things Bob does," former UCLA coach John Wooden told the AP. "I don't think there's ever been a better teacher of the game of basketball than Bob. I don't always approve of his methods, but his players for the most part are very loyal to him. I would say that no player that ever played for him would not say he did not come out a stronger person." In September, Knight signed a three-year contract extension that runs through the 2011-12 season. "I didn't know, I've never really known when I was going to step down from this job. As I thought about it, my first thought was at the end of this season," Knight told the Lubbock paper. "My thinking was .. the best thing for the long run for this team would be for Pat and his staff to coach these remaining 10 games." Knight arrived at Texas Tech in March 2001, six months after being fired by Indiana for what school officials there called a "pattern of unacceptable behavior." In his first six years at Tech, he led the Red Raiders to five 20-win seasons, a first at the school. They are 12-8 this season, including Knight's 900th victory last month against Texas A&M. Texas Tech's next game is Wednesday night at Baylor. Knight passed former North Carolina coach Dean Smith as the winningest Division I coach Jan. 1, 2007, getting career win No. 880. To celebrate the milestone Knight chose "My Way" by Frank Sinatra, a mantra for how he navigated his personal and professional worlds. "Bob is kind of a funny guy. He always loved that song `My Way,' and this is another example," Hance said. Back then, Knight explained why "My Way" was so fitting. "I've simply tried to do what I think is best," Knight said. "Regrets? Sure. Just like the song. I have regrets. I wish I could have done things better at times. I wish I would have had a better answer, a better way, at times. But just like he said, I did it my way and when I look back on it, I don't think my way was all that bad." Knight has been a college coach for 42 years. He broke in at Army in 1965, but made his mark in 29 years at Indiana. He's a complex package, someone who can hit a policeman, throw a chair across the court or be accused of wrapping his hands around a player's neck, yet has never been in trouble for breaking NCAA rules, always has a high graduation rate and gave his salary back a few years ago because he didn't think he'd earned it. "I am very fortunate and blessed to have played for him. He made me a better man and for that I am grateful," former Indiana star and current New Mexico coach Steve Alford said. Knight got his 100th victory at Army, then moved to Indiana, where his Hoosiers went 662-239 from 1971-2000. His first NCAA title came in 1976 when Indiana went undefeated, a feat no team has accomplished since. In 1984, he coached the U.S. Olympic team to a gold medal in Los Angeles. When he began his coaching career at Army, he was 24, the youngest-ever Division I coach. Knight won 20 or more games in 29 seasons. "Today was the most relaxed and relieved I've seen him in a long time," Pat Knight said during his show. "He thought about doing it a year ago but he didn't want people to think he was just staying for the record. So he kind of pushed himself to go one more year."

Really? It's a better "action" movie than the first, but. . . well. . . I like the first of all best of all four, and then I like the fourth next best. I like the first the best too. What's unusual is that the original isn't really an "action" movie, but the sequel is.

Dan's right - the Paris set is on Fantasy. And Re-Entry is on 32 Jazz. The other three are on Emerald & Silvetto, which are Horace's labels. But I'd still consider them officially, legitimately released live recordings. All of which contradicts the "only official live recording" claim regarding "Doin' the Thing".

That's not true either. Also there's a "Live 1964" (with Joe Henderson & Carmell Jones), and "Natives are Restless Tonight", both on Emerald. There's also something called "On Tour" from 1986, on Silveto. So that's 5 other live recordings that have been officially released.
