....don't forget to insure it for $2.00 B-)

....how does the laser get in there and read the music on that big black shiny thing?? B-) j/k, congrats on a great find Dan!!

Actually it WOULD be nice if Organissimo got a 20% cut in instances like this!!

Che. See Matt's thorough review in this thread, from yesterday. Album title is "Blunt Object: Live in Tokyo". Recorded May 2004, except for final track which is from December 2001. Erik.

I just received the Bad Plus live cd today, and finished listening to it. It's very interesting, and (to me) follows their last two releases fairly well. I find them interesting, but not in a groove-y or swinging way at all. I see them as an instrumental piano trio, not a traditional jazz piano trio. I don't really care about labels anyway , I suppose. The Queen cover didn't do much for me, but the rest of the disc is fun, exploring music. It's got similar dynamics to their other releases, so it's got more of a "rock" feel to it I suppose.

Al, start practicing your "FREEBIRD!" calls... B-)

I hope you stick around Ted, it's a fascinating place! There are some very good people here, from all ends of just about any spectrum you can envision. Most of us seem to be pretty consistent in our comments, statements, responses, etc (i hope i can include myself in that!!). I can get a sense of who Jazzmoose, Jazzbo, and Jazz Kat are, just by being here and being involved, as much as I get a sense of who people are who are using their real names as their identities - like Chuck, Peter Johnson, and Kevin B. And I can definitely see consistent arguments/stances between Johnny E. and Weizen, though one uses his name and the other uses a pseudonym. I don't get the sense that anyone's statements are held to different standards due to their logon "handle". I've traded, purchased and/or sold cd's with a number of folks here, and have known many of them through this bulletin board and the previous ones for over 4 years. I just recently stuck my first name down at the bottom of my posts, but never tried to hide it from anyone. I think you'll enjoy it here if you give us a chance!

I don't think Johnny has ever seen that forum before...

I'm confused (doesn't take much!) You won this cd in a drawing? You think it's a good one? Your brother played with Pat in Minneapolis 3 weeks ago? Your brother is ON the recording?? Who is your brother? What did he play?

Assuming you mean Pharaoh Sanders, they're the cover story in the March 05 Downbeat.

I really like Pursuance, Triology, and Songbook! All three are wonderful recordings. "Sing a Song of Song" on Songbook never fails to impress me. I like Standard of Language quite a bit better than it's sister recording, Happy People, though the Bobby Hutcherson tracks are nice on that one. I also think both Black Hope and African Exchange Student, which are earlier recordings, are worth checking out. I agree with you Mark, I'd like to see Kenny release a live recording as well! Though he can be heard live on "A Dreyfus Night in Paris", with Marcus Miller, Michel Petrucciani, Bireli Lagrene, and Lenny White. And he's also on Miles' "Live Around the World, I think - don't have that one. -Erik

When CAN we hear the new release? What's the street date?

...after further consideration and deliberation, I reached consensus with me and myself, and we three confirmed that Thomas and the Magic Railroad is without doubt the single most painful movie we ever had to sit through. Those of you without younger children probably missed this steaming pile of....well we'll call it 'misthaufen' auf Deutsch. Count your blessings.

I also want to stand up and say ubu is a fine member of this community, and I have never seen or known him to bully anyone in the years I've been around here. Thanks for continuing to be a part of us, Flurin! I think closing the political forum down might be worth re-considering, and help us to stick to things we can discuss civilly. Cooler heads seem to prevail when we stick to music and other things that bond us. Politics never will do that...

Lack of acting skills ruined that girls acting career!!

Didn't we used to have a thread of things we never thought we'd hear each other say?? Maybe I'm imagining that, but if not, this surely belongs in there!!

Gotta at least partially disagree with this. Sitting back and looking at it all, I find that I was laughing more AT Aric than I ever was laughing with him. And I'm not real proud of that. But I'm not sure it was possible to ignore him, either, so that option kinda went out the window. I kinda regret starting that Effronics thread a while back, that Jim shut down. While I still find random things he said to be hilarious, I also realize it could also have been seen as making fun of him. I think Aric HAS some fairly deep knowledge of the particular jazz artists (and rock for that matter) that he likes, but I don't think he has the slightest clue as to how to interact with people here on a bulletin board, especially those with differing opinions. I hope he has more real world skills. I don't know whether he belongs here or not, but I know he threatened (or at least wished dead) at least 3 people who are regulars here, and that's not right. Maybe the 6 month ban isn't a bad idea... edit - Plus, he may be back as "Warne's World" or "Wakeman's Cape" or "Hot Curry" or something at some point anyway

Is that not Muhammad Ali? what does that have to do with anything?

You're missing the context, Clementine.
