....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.

It's this:

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!!

You're missing the context, Clementine.

Just got sent some computer-related haikus B-) A file that big? It might be very useful. But now it is gone. The Web site you seek Can not be located but Countless more exist. Chaos reigns within. Reflect, repent, and reboot. Order shall return. ABORTED effort: Close all that you have worked on. You ask far too much. Windows NT crashed. I am the Blue Screen of Death. No one hears your screams. Yesterday it worked. Today it is not working. Windows is like that. First snow, then silence. This thousand dollar screen dies So beautifully. With searching comes loss And the presence of absence: "My Novel" not found. The Tao that is seen Is not the true Tao-until You bring fresh toner. Stay the patient course. Of little worth is your ire. The network is down. A crash reduces Your expensive computer To a simple stone. Three things are certain: Death, taxes, and lost data. Guess which has occurred. You step in the stream, But the water has moved on. This page is not here. Out of memory. We wish to hold the whole sky, But we never will. Having been erased, The document you're seeking Must now be retyped. Serious error. All shortcuts have disappeared. Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

I can legitimately tell you it will be money well spent, Jazz Kat.

Free For All - If you haven't already joined, consider getting into yourmusic.com. It's run by BMG, so the same inventory, which can be limiting. But everything in there is $5.99 all the time, with free shipping & handling. Some of us got in when they had a special $4.99 deal, but that's no longer available, as far as I know. The only major difference is that you have to set up a queue of items that you want, and each month they take the top one from your list and send it to you (and bill your credit card). So make sure there is always something in your queue, because you'll get billed monthly regardless. But other than that, you can order as much as you want at that price, all the time. I'm still in BMG, but haven't been ordering from them, mainly using them for their searches, which seem to be a little better than yourmusic.com's.

A couple of new items I just noticed: Brad Mehldau - Live in Tokyo Caetano Veloso - Best of Youssou N'Dour - Egypt Count Basie - Good Time Blues Nine Inch Nails - Downward Spiral (dualdisc) Oh, and one more that hasn't been mentioned previously... William Shatner - The Transformed Man B-)

LMAO!!! though to be fair i'm not sure if i'm laughing with or at....
