It's only been four days since the thread started and I was away from the computer over the holiday. I know you hate that I dare question the scruples of your appointed Gods of War but damn, cut me some slack would ya'!

poor baby

Organissimo's, can you explain?

I too listen take in the entire recorded history of jazz, but as of late i've been listening mainly to modern improvisation post 65', American and European (Leo, HatHut, Pi, Thirsty Ear, AUM, BYG, ESP, FMP, BVHaast, Emanem etc.)

Leo, definitely.

I will, and I'll thank you in advance....thanks

Can anyone give me their opinion regarding this reissue? It looks incredible, and I've already placed the order, but while I wait for it to arrive I'd love to here what you all think.

Monktail Review

I read almost all the threads and I gain lots of knowledge (thanks everyone), but I do like posting in politics most of all. It's the one place that is always new. Most of the jazz questions were answered a few years back at the BNBB and a lot of discussions have started to repeat themselves. But there are many new board members so it's all good. btw, I won't share my score with ya'll. Pretty pathetic. But I never read the book, so....

Thanks David.

Well of course you know they started in Chicago (dah). They did recordings under their own names for Delmark (Sound, Song For, As If It Were the Seasons) and a series of recordings with our own Chuck Nessa (Old/Quartet, Numbers 1 & 2, and Congliptious). But they didn't get international acclaim (or acclaim at all frankly) until they went to France in 69'.

I've always thought that Black Napkins from Zoot Allures would be a good tune to play in a group that had traditional jazz instrumentation. Organ trio might be good actually.

Find some sponsors and I'm in. Unless we hold it in Seattle, we'll need airfare & accommodations for 15, and we'll need to rent some gear. Let me know if anybody wants to cover the costs.

I'd start with 'Sound' by Roscoe Mitchell, then go for a BYG, and by then you'll be begging to plop down the bucks for the Nessa set. Sound is what really opened my ears to what the AEC was doing. By the way, I just saw the AEC in Seattle last Tuesday. They played at Jazz Alley and it was 'almost' like ol' times. It was Moye, Mitchell, Favors, Jarman, and a young trumpet player named Cory Wilkes I believe. It was fantastic! It's good to hear Roscoe with a trumpet again. I traded one of our CD's for one of Don Moye's CD's. Had a little chat. They are all such approachable guys. I saw them a few years back when Roscoe was ill. It was just a trio (Bowie, Favors and Moye). Lester really stepped up that night and they dedicated the whole show to Mitchell. In retrospect it was a very special show, getting to see Bowie alone in front. I miss his playing.

Thanks Chris, your opinion means a lot to me.

Does anybody know where I could find a copy of DECISION IN PARADISE?

That would be the shizzle! No wink after that statement? Kinda scarey. RIP Mr. Lowe

I was lucky enough to attend the last EC & the Attractions performance. It was part of Seattle's Bumbershoot festival in 96'. You had to buy a seperate ticket though. Man! He announced it as their last show at the beginning and said they were gonna 'play a while'. A WHILE? The show went on for over 3 1/2 hours with no intermission. It was the last show of the tour and I would have thought that EC's voice would have been a little shot. But he made the rafters shake! He did a version of 'I Want You' that gave me goose bumbs! I snuck out of my shitty seats and pushed my way to the front. It was probably the best show I have ever seen....They did over 10 encores. The crowd kept callin them back. It was incredible! Can't wait the hear 'North'. Just found a review of that show here: http://ezone.org/ez/e9/articles/goldman/ec.html

Well, I never used it to remove promo labels, but I have used it to take many-a price tag off used LP jackets. Simple run a flame over a small portion of the stick (no too much - just a few passes by with the lighter) then slowly peel that section off. Do it again on another small section, repeat as necessary till sticker is removed. The heat temporarily melts the glue underneath the sticker and allows you about 15 seconds to peel without tearing the paper or leaving glue residue. Hope that helps.

BeBop thanks man!

Got it ghost. It's-a-comin'. Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

More More!!!
