doubleM

Good to hear that some jazz-flavored folks also like Elliott's music. Being in Portland, I've had a chance to see him a few times. He can play just about anything, and does on most of his albums. I can't wait for his new album. Heard it might be a double.

Thanks, alankin. Nice painting, too. However,, after ruling out John Tesh, and Kenny G , I can't tell who it is. Couldn't be Elvin Jones... I dunno.

It's actually Fats.

OOPs, I meant "Terrorism" footage. That's what I was watching. I didn't even know of the BNBB at that point.

Kudos to the Paradigm Titan bookshelf speaks. Under two-fitty, and worth twice as much. Where I shop, they'll even give you their full value towards a new (and more $) pair after 1 year.

Thanks to everyone for looking, and all. I'll post more, later. In my recent ones they are all playing either a trumpet or a sax. I agree that it does require some patience to draw the musculature in the hand and embouchure. Catesta, I think you're right near ready!( I thought it was Django). J/K. Oh, and they always wore those friggin' suits..!....I think I spent at least 2 hours getting pinstripes drawn well on a Pres suit. If anyone has any ideas for additions to these, post them or send them! I'm thinking Monk, Bill Evans, Woody Shaw, Bird. Side note--I started my first one (Lee) on 9/11 while watching war footage.

Thanks, guys. Rooster Ties---I haven't scanned the Joe yet. I hope to have an updated site soon, with the rest, incl. JOE. A preview--It's like "the Kicker" cover, w/o the swirly background.

Hey Everybody...nice to be over here at the new forum w/ y'all. I wanted to post a link to a sample of jazz drawings that I've done over the last while. The link is: grapnel.net/moor . I'll be showing these and many more (Trane, Lester Young, Joe Henderson, to name some) at the Bluemonk in Portland in April and May. If you're in the area, come on by!

I got mine about 2 weeks ago. Man, I had no idea that Carmell was such a m.f.. Jayhalk Talk didn't prepare me for what was to come. This has been getting some seoius play at my place. I'm going to re-listen to Nathan Davis' "The Hip Walk", which I highly recommend.

Check out "Cool, Calm and Collected" -I almost typed "Clam" there. 10/13/60. Quartet date w/ Billy Wallace , Bill Lee, and Vernel Fournier. He switched to piano, apparently...from dissatisfaction w/ his alto sound. Or so read the liner notes of this Koch cd. It might be found at Half. I don't work there.
