Dude, the thread title is "Philadelphia concerts," not "Corpus Christi concerts." LOL - A "Corpus Christi concert" thread would be EXTREMELY short. That's why I troll the Austin/Dallas concert thread Actually, I have to drive to Austin for any jazz fixes anyway. Maybe I need to start coming up to Philly for your shows, y'all have some good ones!

Funny enough, my partial order from zweitausendeins in February showed up last week when I was out of town. The one box that they managed to ship to me, the Dexter Gordon Prestige set. The packaging was pretty beat up, but the box set itself seems fine. There was even "ein kleines Geschenk" with it, apologizing for their warehouse relocation and the delay in shipping my order. The present was a Modigliani book. Since the letter is dated 7 March, it was the first order they shipped me. The second one - shipped in April - also has yet to show up. I guess I can't complain too much, as they reimbursed me for the shipping costs originally, and later for the actual box set cost, and told me to keep it if it ever arrived. Overall a bad experience, but great customer service by 2001.

Cassius Clay poundin the skins??

I think he meant the "stellar" part of the 2003 draft class, Jim...

I'm having trouble filling out the order form for this; didn't they once have the option of English language? True Brit eh? find your items, click on [notieren] a [bestellzettel] link will pop up in the right column with your item(s) in it. to check out, click on the [bestellzettel] link in the right hand column check the box just below the listing (near the [AGB] link) click the [weiter] button login or enter your data (use a dictionary, you are living in Großbritannien) click the [weiter] button enter credit card secrets; click the [weiter] button glance over and click the "Bestellung abschicken" button And once complete, you will have deposited X number of Euro-zloty's into couw's Paypal account.

Notice the spelling in the title of the "other" thread about the new selects...

Happy Day!!! :rsmile: :rsmile: I think the milestones are (at least for us 'Mericans): 16 - Drive 18 - Vote 20 - No longer a teen 21 - Drink legally 25 - Halfway to 30 30 - Yikes! 40 - This ain't so bad 50 - This really ain't so bad etc

Spend a day or two just searching around this board (as if you didn't already know that). There are plenty of threads about just about every "new jazz" offering available. Look at the threads with year-end best of lists, the new release section, etc.

Congratulations Paul, and best wishes for many happy years together!

I caught Bill Frisell last night, at the Continental Club in Austin. GREAT show, and apparently a warm-up gig for his Bonnaroo date on Saturday. The band is his "New Quartet", comprised of Greg Leisz on pedal steel, Kenny Wolleson on drums, and David Pilch on bass. With the pedal steel, you would expect the Americana stuff to be prominent, and you'd be right. But they really pushed themselves, and gave a fine performance. The opener was a 20+ minute version of "Surfer Girl" that didn't reveal itself until at least 15 minutes in (unless I just wasn't ready for that and didn't catch it). They got a standing ovation at the end of the set, and played another 15 minute or so encore. I talked with them afterwards, and they seemed excited about the Bonnaroo thing. Kenny W. also told me there is a new Sex Mob CD coming out August 1st, and that it is "very different" and "very good". Looking forward to checking that out. If I had known about this Frisell show in advance, I would have posted it here, in the hopes of meeting up with any other board members (Clifford/Soulstream/Lon etc).

I've got a couple of things that Kale is on (the Tabla Beat Science discs, and a couple of Laswell cd's), and when I'm in the mood for that stuff, really enjoy them. Will have to check out his leader stuff.

Happy Birthday Kevin!!!

Being the chess afficianado that I am ( ) I believe that is the sister of the one you originally posted. Once is Sanja and the other is Mira...

Can you introduce me to Ms. Bosnia?

Jack the cat chases black bear up tree WEST MILFORD, N.J. - A black bear picked the wrong yard for a jaunt, running into a territorial tabby who ran the furry beast up a tree — twice. Jack, a 15-pound orange and white cat, keeps a close vigil on his property, often chasing small animals, but his owners and neighbors say his latest escapade was surprising. "We used to joke, 'Jack's on duty,' never knowing he'd go after a bear," owner Donna Dickey told The Star-Ledger of Newark for Friday's editions. Neighbor Suzanne Giovanetti first spotted Jack's accomplishment after her husband saw a bear climb a tree on the edge of their northern New Jersey property on Sunday. Giovanetti thought Jack was simply looking up at the bear, but soon realized the much larger animal was afraid of the hissing cat. After about 15 minutes, the bear descended and tried to run away, but Jack chased it up another tree. Dickey, who feared for her cat, then called Jack home and the bear scurried back to the woods. "He doesn't want anybody in his yard," Dickey said. Bear sightings are not unusual in West Milford, which experts consider one of the state's most bear-populated areas.

Ol' Bobby DeNiro is moonlighting? Who knew??

This just arrived yesterday, and I'm on my first spin. VERY nice! I can understand that those who don't care for Sco aren't going to get into this, but I think it's a great performance, and a great recording. And it doesn't seem like something that would typically come out on ECM to me, either (except for maybe the clarity in the recording). A worthy tribute to Lifetime!

Anybody have this one? I've picked it up a couple of times and almost bought it, and always put it back for some reason. Looks interesting.

For anyone interested, I just recently heard that Porcupine Tree will be coming back for a VERY brief U.S. tour in the fall. This is apparently in support of their upcoming live DVD. Opening act will be ProjeKct Six, which this time around is the duo of Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew. 0ct 5 Boston, MA at The Roxy Oct 6 New York, NY at the Nokia Theatre Oct 7 Philadelphia, PA at the Keswick Theatre Oct 10 San Francisco, CA at The Fillmore 0ct 11 Anaheim , CA at The Grove 0ct 12 Los Angeles, CA at the House of Blues

If so, that's very sad to hear. Roughly half the roster lineup is what I'd consider *not jazz*. Dumping Osby further degrades the ratio. I'm wondering whether they still have Stefon Harris, Terence Blanchard, and Jason Moran on their roster too.

Happy Birthday Bertrand!! :rsmile: :rsmile: :rsmile:

I think about half of them ended up on the Tom's Album release, which was basically remixes or alternate versions of this song by various artists (R.E.M. included). PS I have the R.E.M. version on the original source concert (performing as Bingo Hand Job in a promotional acoustic show in 1991 I believe), and it was pretty much an impromptu joke, that somehow got an official release on Tom's Album.

Who is on their active roster these days? Here are my guesses: Jackie Allen Anita Baker Patricia Barber Terence Blanchard Robert Glasper Stefon Harris Andrew Hill Dr. John Norah Jones Keren Ann Amos Lee Joe Lovano Wynton Marsalis Pat Martino Marissa Monte Jason Moran Greg Osby Dianne Reeves Gonzalo Rubalcaba Suzanne Vega Cassandra Wilson Wood Brothers They just recently unloaded Medeski Martin & Wood, and I'm guessing Chucho Valdes, since his last album was on another label ("Virtuoso", unless it was a reissue).

88% of your posts on a jazz bulletin board are in the political forum. I found it funny that you were pleading to keep politics out of one thing, when at the same time gratuitously inserting it into another. edit - i'm not trying to be confrontational either. Just an observation, one I found humor in.
