Well then extending this definition into the modern internet peer-to-peer era, Charlie Hunter is the premier icon of modern jazz. At this point, clearly a proven jazz genius capable of communication on a sublime level, a self-taught pioneering innovator on his instrument at the level of a Rhasaan, one of the most distinctive stylists around, practically invented the modern "jazz plus" culture, self-taught, self-promoted, more-and-more self-marketed and self-distributed (music and merchandise), anti-corporate, extremely web-savvy, a shrewd businessman in both performance realms (live tours and studio sessions), ability and true love for multiple funk-rock-jam-band-whatever genres and unashamed if these are probably more profitable that serious acoustic jazz, a rock-solid bandleader, an emerging educator, a consumate associate and promoter of younger talent (most notably, John Ellis, the best 20-something tenor on the scene) ..... ... and, finally, easily the most well-known name in jazz in the under-40 set who have even a modicum of hipness (in other words, their knowledge of jazz extends outside the doors of Starbucks), And from what I can tell, he massively enjoys it all. Not just the music, but also running his own show in life. In reply to johnagrandy's post regarding Hunter; Minus the compositional success of your Monks or Brubecks, and I'd opine that the "innovation" w/ Hunter is more about the Kirk-ish approach than the "content". I'd rather see Hunter than Brubeck in concert, BTW.

The release date on that Tower disc is January 3000~

I'll have to check that one out. The puppet guy looks like Bill Cowher!

The title of this thread had me thinking she'd done something positive...? Anyway, don't mess with her or she'll drive all fucked up on your ass.

Sounds interesting, too. I'm listening now!

As far as I have heard Larry Klein and Joni Mitchell are kaput, romantically, though they've been playing together (songs) since they split up.

Bryant has 21 in the first quarter vs. Sacto.

Happy Birthday Andy! !!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy B-Day, patricia!!! I hope you're having a good time.

Happy Birthday, 7/4!!!!!

Happy Birthday, Jeff!!!

Exactly. I was expressing my joy as a Jazz fan. And I do love seeing them beat Detroit, because they're all good and stuff. Every team has at least one team that has their number. Doesn't effect overall standing at all except maybe it helps Utah. Even Jordan's Bulls lost 10 games during that fantastic run.

Jazz sweep series with Pistons.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!

Need a sealed Konitz'-- Motion (cd)?

That should help w/ the Yanks' "O", but with the "D"? Not so sure. Either way,

And a merry one to you and yours too, Jeff. I hope that you get this book soon! Maybe some day we'll be collecting the real photos. Peace, Matt Hey,Matt: I'd like to find a copy of that book, too! Hope you don't beat me to a local copy. Once you start collecting jazz photo books you can't stop-believe me... BTW, Merry Christmas, Double M.

Wow! That dude is really good. That book is high on my list.

I wanted to use that 30%er on the upcoming Miles box, but it expires one day early. D'oh!!!!!

Source?

Happy B-day, David! I hope that you get y'r fill of all the good things.

I rang in rather late at 20. By 22-30 I was playing for better money, but it was playing covers. Now I try to not leave the house for 1/4 of what I used to make per gig...playing disco. But at least I get to play music that I (usually) dig.

I like this one somethin' fierce: Garlic, mince up 2-3 cloves Olive Oil Cut 3 Red Bell peppers into 1" sections (like 2d cubes) Obtain some fresh bay Scallops (1 1/2 to 2 lbs.) Small ones work best Crushed Red Pepper to taste Lemon Butter (optional) Sea Salt Angel Hair Spaghetti OK, Heat oven to 200-250 degrees/ Start cookin' angel hair/In a large saute pan (on the stove-top) you put in some olive oil, butter (still optional), garlic, crushed red pepper and salt and cook that up for a couple of minutes / Add the scallops, shred on (liberally) some of the lemon peel and cook until about 3/4 doneness (they're turning pearly white)/ Remove scallops with slotted spoon and place them in oven in a baking dish/ Put the red bell peps in with the garlic, olive oil, etc., and cook for a couple minutes. They'll barely start to soften, and then you take the scallops out of the oven and reinsert to the pan, and a little more lemon peel. Put pasta in a big bowl, mix it all up. I usually will add some more crushed red and parmesan at the end.

I would be so thankful..... Happy Turkey Day, everyone!!!
