....he didn't punch you in the face for asking for that? B-) Seriously, that's a great pic, and great autograph as well. I have the League of Crafty Guitarists disc, and really enjoy it...and the spinoff group, California Guitar Trio. I should explore his solo + Fripp/Eno work a bit. Any good places to start? edit - I meant I have the RF String Quintet disc, not the League...

Inspired by the Crimson chat in the guitar thread, I finally buckled down and ordered the KC "ElektriK" CD from the DGM website. Really looking forward to this - I spun Power to Believe again the other day, and still love it... I also ordered an autographed copy of "B'Boom", which is a live recording of the 6 man lineup from 1994. I'm very curious as to which autographs are actually on this disc, given Fripp's aversion to signing, and the fact that Bruford is no longer in the band (nor is Gunn now), and Levin is back in. This is my first order from DGM, are they pretty quick to ship?

I saw KC in Germany on the Power to Believe tour, and met Belew, Gunn, & Mastellotto after the show, shook their hands, got their autographs etc. They were all very friendly and approachable. They all signed my PtB cd booklet, and Adrian also signed my Discipline. Fripp was nowhere to be seen, as expected. Do you have a scan of the Fripp autograph, 7/4?

Saw them in 1980/81 in Frankfurt, with the original singer (DiAnno). It was a great show, before the theatrical stuff got so much heavier. They lost me after Number of the Beast, but I'll say Killers is my favorite of theirs.

hehehe, thief B-) for the record, the proper response to this is: edit - i know that looks odd, but that is the best i could do to extract it from a locked thread...

Got my Farlow set in today's mail, a week after it was shipped. Still impressed with this deal!

I picked up a promo copy a couple of weeks ago, and really like it! Rosenwinkel, Mehldau, Redman, Larry Grenadier, and either Jeff Ballard or Ali Jackson. They are really cohesive, as sal alludes to. Well worth picking up. I've like all the KR that I've heard so far!

I would hope if they are students in YOUR class, this would not be allowed to go right over their heads!!!

Scott - That is one FINE open letter! In fact, it's so good, I hereby nominate you to write the open letter that Aric has been pushing. Don't tell me ya need a topic, addressee, or anything else relevant. We will expect to see a draft within the next couple of hours... AN OPEN LETTER TO BLUE NOTE AN OPEN LETTER TO BLUE NOTE PART TWO

Just curious, do you hate all of us here at Organissimo, or all the people who went to see "The Pacifier", or all of North America?

Sure Fent - same drill, send me a PM with your address, and it will go out on the pony express tomorrow! Erik

Dan -the difference as I see it is that you wouldn't have people joining this board for the express purpose of talking politics. They'd be joining the board for the sake of joining a jazz based community, and then be able to discuss politics. This way it weeds out the "Naked City"'s of the world, who otherwise would have nothing to contribute.

Can I get the Di Battista? Of course. Shoot me a PM with your address, and it will go in tomorrow's mail. -Erik

Can you set up the software so that people can only post in the Politics Forum IF more than 50% of their posts are in the OTHER forums? That way we wouldn't have people who just frequent this board to harangue/harass/stir up things there, who otherwise have no interest or input into the other, more important (IMO) forums. Just a thought. I'm guessing it can't be done, but it would be nice!

A couple more of mine up for the taking: Stefano DiBattista - self titled --> Ubu Irakere - Babalu Aye Hiromi - Another Mind also still have these available: Ralph Towner - Blue Sun --> fent99 Tim Hagans/Bob Belden - Re-Animation Live! Groove Holmes - Best of the Pacific Jazz Years -Erik

up... I picked up her album cheap in a used store, mainly based on remembering this thread. She has some very impressive technique, and there's a sound or a warmth or something that seems to shine through for me. I'm really enjoying this, check it out if you run across it anywhere. Another thanks to Jim for bringing this to our attention...

This bothers me, in the sense that it seems to suggest there is an objective answer to "what is good music?".

I agree with Scott. I would have jumped on that sucker the minute I saw it.

It's been my experience that things are only backordered for a couple of days. So hopefully Kulu's will be on their way shortly, and Al's should be fine as well...

Before Aric killed everyone in the thread, I posted a couple of pics of Herbie jamming in the studio with Trey right here.

Cowboys appear to have signed NT Jason Ferguson from the NY Jets, and also hearing rumors that they have picked up CB Anthony Henry from the Browns. Both appear to be very good signings at positions of need. 'Boys still need some O-line help, a good WR, strong safety, another d-lineman, and a strong safety. With 2 1st rnd picks, I wonder which they'll target in Free Agency and which will wait until the draft.

Che - You know you can do searches to find additional information on topics that have already been discussed, right? I'm pointing this out to you because some people may not have the urge to re-discuss or re-state something about an artist that they've already shared previously. There is a wealth of information in older threads here on this board, on just about any jazz topic you're interested in...

catesta. you forgot the obligatory reference to the poster you are talking to. erik.

I agree with Lon in that I've enjoyed every place I've visited. Travelling is a wonderful experience, and you can learn and experience other's cultures wherever you go. I've enjoyed the medina (souq?) and snake charmers in Tangier, Morocco; the fjords between Oslo and Bergen; watching the sun come up in Grindelwald, Switzerland, surely one of the most beautiful places on Earth; snorkeling on the second largest reef in the world, south of Cancun Mexico; visiting the Great Buddha at Kamakura, Japan, and riding the Star Ferry back and forth between Hong Kong and Kowloon.
