D'oh! I didn't even catch that you'd offered one up, Weiz... I guess we'll have to wait for a response from Herr Peter.

Peter - I'm guessing that you're asking for the Towner "Blue Sun" I offered up. It will go out in the mail on Monday. Enjoy -Erik

17. 16. Do I hear 15? 15... I caved, too many successes in this thread alone....

Hey Conn - If the Jenkins/Burrell is still available, I'd love to have it. Will PM ya with my address. Thanks, Erik I'll try to post a couple more titles that I can offer up, in the next couple of days...

I'd love that Hank "High Voltage", Eric! I'll PM ya with my address. ...these three are available for adoption: Ralph Towner - Blue Sun Tim Hagans/Bob Belden - Re-Animation Live! Groove Holmes - Best of the Pacific Jazz Years -Erik

I'd love to see this tour! Saw him on the Missouri Sky duets Euro tour with Haden, and really enjoyed it. I'd love to see this tuneperformed live! I also just discovered that "The Way Up" isn't the first seriously long recording that Pat's been involved with. I recently picked up a 3 disc set called "The Sign of 4" from 1997 on Knitting Factory Works, with Metheny, Derek Bailey, Gregg Bendian and Paul Wertico. The first disc is one tune only, called "A Study in Scarlet", and is 62 minutes in length. I haven't spun it yet, but the snippets i heard were more avant styled than PMG-ish. Anyone else have this set?

yes, but please note that the drawing is not to scale You sure about that? B-) hmm, whom can we write and ask about that? The answer is painfully obvious - Kurt Lundvall.

Well heck, there are plenty open letters available too. Why re-invent the wheel?

To write a letter we would need a topic. While doing a google image search on "topic" i found this, and think it fits the bill perfectly.

Newly listed at yourmusic:

Is this the first time after how many years now that we've actually heard a response from Aric about Money Jungle? The plot thickens...

Are you saying there is an alternate/earlier version of this album available somewhere?

Dallas has apparently picked up Drew Bledsoe to be their QB for the upcoming season, after he was released by Buffalo yesterday. I assume there will be a press conference later today with terms of contract etc. Also seeing some rumors that they may pursue Lavernius Coles. If that were to happen I think the offense would be pretty set for next year (need some OL support from the second/later rounds of the draft still though). With Julius Jones, Jason Witten, a solid group of WRs, they could be pretty solid. Then the two first round draft picks AND additional free agency efforts can focus on the defense, where help is needed across the board. Initial needs there are DT/DE/CB/SS. I'd like to see them pick up Samari Rolle who was cut by the Titans. Aside - If Bledsoe's been given a long contract it may mean Drew Henson won't ever see the playing field, that Dallas doesn't like what it sees in him. If Bledsoe's contract is just a year or maybe two, then Henson may still play into the Cowboy's future. Personally I wish they would have given Henson the last half of last season, since it was wasted anyway. Sometimes ya need a baptism by fire (like Manning & Roethllisberger) to see what you're made of, and if Henson never gets that chance, they've wasted a couple of his prime years, at the least.

Wow - Chuck gets credit for recommending Norah Jones. Is this one of the signs of the Apocalypse??

Just got back from Vegas last night. Had a great time, and about broke even at the blackjack tables. Saw Dana Carvey live at the Mirage on Friday night - he was great, and did alot of his old impersonations - Church Lady, both Bushes, Kerry, even Ross Perot. And he did a great bit with both Arnold and Teddy Kennedy about how they probably banter with each other at family get-togethers. I had luck at some of the Record Citys (particularly the one at 300 E. Sahara), and Big B's as well. I'd recommend checking them out to anyone that might be headed to Vegas. Unfortunately the Virgin Store at Caesar's Forum is closed now. The Tower store was pretty decent too. I picked up way too many cds, but here are a couple that stand out to me: Baby Face Willette - Stop and Listen Ronnie Foster - Two Headed Freap Bill Frisell/Vernon Reid - Smash & Scatteration Don Wilkerson - Texas Twister Kurt Rosenwinkel - Deep Song Big John Patton - Blue Planet Man Jutta Hipp - with Zoot Sims Club D'Elf - Live 3/28/02 Athen GA Vision Fest Live cd/dvd (thirsty ear blue series) Bailey/Metheny/Bendian/Wertico - Sign of 4 Gov't Mule - Live with a Little Help from our Friends - 4 disc version Brazil DVD - the 3 disc Criterion set, for $20! Oh, one last thing - I got to meet Pamela Anderson on Wednesday! She was doing a fashion show and an "unveiling" of her new slot machines at the Palms Casino. She's alot SHORTER than I expected. I guess I never paid attention to her height before

hey X, can you provide any info on WHY you think Boney James is "the man"? I'd be curious to see your thoughts. So far your posts haven't been too...um...verbose.

Yeah Al, but did you have the Paradise Theatre vinyl that was laser etched? shine it in the light just right and it looked like the rainbow colors you see in oil or other things in the street. Note for the record, I did not own this!

Great site, Mark - sorry it took me so long to catch up to this thread! I have one of Mark's prints and am thoroughly impressed with his work. I've gotten a couple of positive comments about it from visitors, and hope to pick up some additional prints in the near future. to Mark & Jeff!

I'm choosing to believe this says it all...

I caught this movie with my kids today at the local discount house. Though my expectations were kinda low, it was actually a cute kids flick, considering most of its target audience has probably never seen the original cartoons. Well, I've never seen them here on our cable system, at any rate. Anyway, towards the end of the movie, when "real life" Fat Albert was getting ready to return to cartoonland, there is a nice jazz reference. On the wall behind him in the house they're in is a framed print of the Blue Train cover! Very noticeable, and very intended to be seen. Made my day! I know of Cosby's love of jazz and his putting jazz artists on his old 80's show. Heck, I even have his cd "Where You Lay Your Head", which has some pretty big names on it. Always glad when someone who's famous for non-jazz reasons/accomplishments pushes jazz, like Spielberg did with Benny Golson...

Aggie87 gets me "Fine Ass Loco", so watch your Damas and your Dinero!!! My real name gets me "the Reverend Dr. Erik Tickle"!!! I can dig it! PS - seems like we did this one before. Or was that a Mafia name? Or a Blues name? Or a rap name??

I was in Reno last week, staying at the Peppermill. THey had one of their in house channels set up for 24 concert clips, mostly 70's-90's classic rock/R&B. Fun to watch. Of course, monitors were all over the place, even in the elevators! So you not only got to hear "elevator music" but you got to see it as well. And the monitors were built into the ceiling of the elevator, since everyone stares up anyway and never makes eye contact with the other passengers.

Bump... I was in the store and noticed a new "dual disc" version of Kind of Blue. One side is cd, and the other is a dvd. The DVD portion contains "the Entire album in 5.1 Surround Sound and enhanced LPCM Stereo, and a 25-minute making-of documentary, Made In Heaven, featuring black-and-white film and stills, the voices of Miles Davis and Bill Evans, plus interviews and more. " I'm not sure I'm gonna jump on the dual disc bandwagon. Does anyone have this already? Is the cd portion the same remastering as the '97 version? Does that documentary make this worth pursuing either way?

Hey if i were to accidentally kill Noj RIGHT NOW, I'd be the killer of the thread killer of the thread killer thread.
