  1. Greg Osby has. Not sure about anybody else... My comment was sort of tongue-in-cheek. Bjork has been covered quite a bit (these are the ones I found with a relatively quick allmusic search): Badi Assad - Bachelorette Brodsky Quartet - I've Seen It All Dave Douglas - Unison Mich Gerber - There's More to Life Than This Larry Goldings - Cocoon Yuri Honing Trio - Isobel Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey - Isobel Geoff Keezer - Venus as a Boy Jason Moran - Joga Fredrick Nordstrom Quintet - The Modern Things Greg Osby - All Neon Like Rachel Z - Joga Trio (Wasilewski/Kurkiewicz/Miskiewicz) - Hyperballad Tain Watts - 107 Steps
  2. ....has anybody thought to cover a Bjork tune yet? and ducking too.
  3. Have a Happy Happy!
  4. Happy Birthday Wes!! I hope Jade takes you out for a nice b-day breakfast!
  5. Well, the NFL Combine is going on right now, in preparation for the draft coming up April 29/30... * There's something fishy going on with Vince Young at the combine. He took the Wonderlic test, which is supposed to be an 'intelligence' test. The stories going around are that he scored a 6 on the test. A score of 20 is supposed to show "average" intelligence, with 50 being the highest possible score. The odd thing about this is that Young's agent is denying that he scored a 6....and yet Young was allowed to take the test again, and on the second go-round scored a 16. It doesn't make sense to me - if he didn't score a 6, why did he take the test again? Contrasting this score, Texas A&M's Reggie McNeal is reported (by ESPN Radio) to have scored a 41. Granted, he also didn't lead his team to the National Championship. He also ran a 4.37 40, and had a good showing in the Shrine Bowl last month. (yes, i'm rooting for him to make it in the pros!). * #1 pick trade - Rumors are that the Jets are looking to trade up from the #4 spot to get the Texan's #1 overall pick. Looks like they're interested in Matt Leinart. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. * There are also rumors that the Jets are trading John Abraham to the Redskins for Lavar Arrington & Patrick Ramsey. ......5 1/2 months until preseason!!!!
  6. Who actually qualifies as Young Lions? Wynton, Branford & Roy Hargrove, ok. Who else? Tain Watts? Kenny Kirkland? Kenny Garrett?
  7. I think most dvd players in computers are capable of reading all regions/formats. Someone smarter than me would know better though... And I've heard there are ways to modify your normal dvd player to make it capable of playing back all formats as well. Some searching around online may help with this.
  8. bumping up for the folks on Kwajalein Atoll....
  9. Wow...Don Knotts AND Darren McGavin... R.I.P. Darren....the real Kolchak. And the perfect father figure in Christmas Story too.
  10. Patricia - Is there another new edition of this? I bought the 2 disc version back in 2003. My copy says it runs 229 minutes.
  11. My advice? I'd keep her until the nagging gets REALLY bad.....then cull her
  12. R.I.P....
  13. ....I can't count that high! But seriously, if you choose to go that route, I'm sure Conn will be glad to spring for a six pack of this fine malt beverage for you:
  14. So easy that someone drinking a fine single malt could even figure it out. If they would go out and spring for a damn single malt!
  15. BF - yourmusic is the same company as BMG, and has almost the same inventory (a few things are missing from the yourmusic stock - like the Charlie Parker Verve metal box). As long as you buy one cd/month from them @5.99, there is no other obligation to being a member, and you can buy as much or as little as you want at the $5.99 rate, which includes their box sets.
  16. Actually, BF ended up doing better at BMG in this case.... The Coltrane box is $47.92 (5.99 * 8 discs) at yourmusic.com, whereas he got it for $36.39. The Parker 3 disc set is only $17.97 at yourmusic.com though. Overall he came out ahead on this order, but it benefits you to compare both sites when you're looking at box sets and the no s/h offers.
  17. Thelonious Monk Oslo '66 Keith Jarrett - Autumn Leaves Hancock/Carter/Cobham Tony Willliams/Ron Carter/McCoy Tyner/Freddie Hubbard/Dizzy Gillespie - 1981 Martino/Scofield/DeFrancesco - Sunny Dave Brubeck - Take Five '61 Marc Ribot y Los Cubanos Postizos
  18. I think he was just jealous.... Woman Marries Dolphin
  19. I have "Hot" too, and think it's very good. But knowing Akanalog's dislike of Sco, I wouldn't recommend it.
  20. Only "inside" to the 250 million americans who got to hear that tagline on the SW tv commercials for a couple years....
  21. Isn't that kind of the definition of a jam band? What more do you expect from them? They aren't a traditional hard bop band. And I realize they're not a traditional Dead/ABB/Widespread etc jam band, but an organ trio jam band, firmly capable of playing jazz. Not my favorite group by any stretch, but I say go and enjoy the show, jazzkat. As a young teenager, why shouldn't you enjoy this?
  22. I've noticed SS1 has posted it a couple of times in the Listening To thread, so maybe he can give you his impressions...
  23. I hope you're right, Moose... My first thought was that this was the return of Musicboy, here to shut us down with his 'connections' within the music business. And I'm not posting that gratuitous picture of musicboy drumming (only cuz i can't find it )
  24. Order placed....now researching home equity loans....
