That will all change once they see the next Organissimo album cover. By that time, Organissimo will be lumped in with the southern rock contingency - Lynyrd Skynryd, 38 Special, etc.

I've got a long way to go. I've been to: Camden Yards Busch Stadium Riverfront Stadium in Cincy (is that Cinergy now?) The Astrodome (I still need to see the Astros in "Minute Maid Park" which looks really impressive, but is that a wussy name or what??) Dodger Stadium (whatever that's called today also) I also saw the Astros play an exhibition game against Texas A&M at Olsen Field when I was in school, in the mid 80's. That was really cool - even got out on the field after the game and shook Nolan Ryan's hand and got his autograph! -Erik

I just read about this on the CNN website as well... "...Other recipients include jazz saxophonist Gerry Mulligan, who is owed $78,000 and the Fontane Sisters, who are owed nearly $107,000. Morning TV show host Regis Philbin, who recorded an album in 1968, is owed $7,255."""

Hey now, just to be fair you should chastise ghost as well! He's playing the political game in here as well!

After listening to the Yellow Submarine Songtrack today, I have a new contender for worst Beatles Song: All Together Now I think I dislike this one more than Maxwell's Silver Hammer. At least that one had something going on musically, sorta. In a When I'm 64 kind of way. -Erik

Just keeping working up the sequence until they start paying YOU for the titles you want. Actually, I think that code is the BMG equivalent of "alt+F4".

En Route is due out next Tuesday, finally... I"m really looking forward to this live trio date, as it's been a long time since Sco's released a live album! It got 4 stars from All Music, and a pretty good write-up: AMG REVIEW: Following a series of coruscating servings of progressive uber funk for Verve, Scofield stripped down to a trio for this live session at New York's Blue Note club in December 2003. He hooked up with a pair of old friends, the terrific loose-limbed drummer Bill Stewart, and the tense, nimble bassist Steve Swallow, and the three go after each other in some often-furiously busy, driving, tangled interplay, defying the frigid New York weather of that period. Denzil Best's "Wee" gets a scorching, asymmetrical workout to start, and Swallow's "Name That Tune" promptly goes into super overdrive, with Scofield darting all over the place in his idiosyncratic way. "Hammock Soliloquy" varies between another of Scofield's irresistible, laid-back, country tunes and more combustible high-speed interplay, while "Bag" ain't nothin' but the blues with a volatile groove. A highly-convoluted trip through "It Is Written" precedes — and partially pre-echoes — a quiet ballad-tempo rendition of the Bacharach/David tune "Alfie." The closest thing to the jazz/funk jams of Scofield's recent past is an 11-minute closing workout called "Over Big Top" — a paraphrase of "Bigtop" from his Groove Elation album — churning and driving relentlessly. Leaning more toward Scofield's jazz side per se, this high-energy outing should pass the time quite agreeably until he unleashes another of his jazz/funk groove-a-thons. — Richard S. Ginell

Up - Love to hear any reviews of this show. Couldn't get up to Austin with my kids this weekend after all, so I missed this and the Reptet show, unfortunately. Would have been a fun weekend of music!!

Well, how was the show, Johnny? Anyone on the board able to go to see Reptet? And how'd you like Austin? Probably the least "Texan" place in Texas!

Sorry to hear of your loss, Randy. Lean on your friends and family - they can be a great source of comfort. -Erik

The real (?) finals should start on Sunday, between the Lakers and the Spurs. Completely different styles of basketball, but are there any better teams in the NBA than these two? If the winner of this series doesn't win the whole enchilada, I'll be very shocked!!

I used to go to the Quad Cities on business from time to time. The Bix Beiderbecke Memorial Jazz Festival will be going on July 22-25 this year. Website for more Fest info. Other, non music interests might include the civil war cemetery on Rock Island itself, and I believe there's a small museum on the arsenal that's interesting as well. There used to be riverboat gambling on both the Illinois & Iowa sides of the river, though I believe the President riverboat is gone now. The Lady Luck may still be there, as well as the ones on the Illinois side. And the Amana Colonies are fairly close to Iowa City as well. An interesting place to visit, like stepping back in time.

I think I agree in principal, but I have also been in stores where I will find things in other sections where I don't think they belong. I've found Anouar Brahem in new age, Bireli Lagrene in world music, and a few different hispanic jazz musicians in the Latin section of stores. It is certainly a hassle to flip past stuff you aren't interested in, but most stores don't seem to really care about what goes where, IMO, so if you don't check out the other sections, you may be missing out on some jazz you're actually looking for. I've also found things at Waterloo from time to time that I haven't found elsewhere, especially compared to what's available here in Corpus.

That list never fails to make me smile. I posted it on the BNBB one time, and also here last year, on the thread about figuring out your blues name. -Erik (a.k.a. ol' Skinny Eyes Parker)

They did as of January, I'm fairly certain they haven't changed their setup...

one beer please! Now if you could change it to "Organissimo Rocks!", I think we've got a contendah for their next album cover.

Here's a few off the top of my head.... Phil Collins - Against All Odds Phil Collins - Another Day in Paradise Phil Collins - I Wish it would Rain Down Phil Collins - Do You Remember Phil Collins - Don't Lose My Number Phil Collins - Something Happened on the Way to Heaven Phil Collins - Groovy Kind of Love Phil Collins - Both Sides of the Story Phil Collins - True Colors Phil Collins - You'll Be in my Heart Phil Collins - One More Night Hmmmm....I think there might be a pattern here, but I can't quite put my finger on it

I don't have it yet, but have read some good reviews here and there. There's some interesting comments about Douglas in this thread... By the way, you're very lucky you have a radio station in your area that plays this kind of music!! My choices seem to be classic rock, top 40 (or whatever it's called these days), or tejano

"Tavi Tankar"? ...hopefully this isn't too obscure of an SNL reference for most of us??

Clem - On a side note, Peggy Lee's corpse appreciates your interest in any royalty fees that may be due to her estate... Peggy Lee (aka Norma D. Egstrom) 5/26/1920 - 1/21/2002

Just noticed the new Dave Douglas, "Strange Liberation" with Uri Caine & Bill Frisell, on the website. edit - they also added some of Pat Metheny's old ECM titles as well, if anyone's looking for 'em...

Norah Jones' father? ...the sarcasm's baked in, dontcha know?

I woke up to a huge thunderstorm and 10" inches of rain on Sunday morning. The street had about 2' of standing water in it until about 2:00 pm, so I couldn't even leave to go get the newspaper! There were alot of folks who thought they could get through the waters, only to stall their cars, and have to leave them until later in the day. Bet they won't try that again!
