Kari, grab the disc? any thoughts?

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jim, for that matter in either UFC, Pride or K-1(kickboxing) might would get creamed.... can someone say Jerome LeBanner or Gary Goodridge(his chin sucks, but he can hit)

happy belated birthday Kevin, the person who offered me a real copy of Cool Blues when it was OOP..... If only I could return the favor a few years later with something.

hmm, shouldn't this be moved to Musicians' forum Jim? some of this is way over my head, interesting, but wouldn't it be better in the musicians forum area? now I'm gonna go listen to that "Luny Tune" solo and see if I can get a handall on what y'all are Talkin About

ooh, how big was it?

Mark Ledford (RIP) vocals, guitar, keyboards, sax, trumpet, percussion Richard Bona- vocals, guitar, keyboards, percussion, bass Chick Corea- piano, drums Pat Metheny (yep, Pat) guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, percussion (most of these he plays himself on Secret Story, as well as bass on some ECM stuff, also plays additional keyboards on Anna Maria Jopek's "Upojenie" in addition to guitar) Keith Jarrett-piano, sax, orgasmic yells John Patton- organ and tambourine

I wish I could go! Yet another new place opened for live music here, mostly a lot of so-so local acts but someone should bring Pat's trio, Kenny Garrett and Organissimo :-D

Pat Metheny: We Live Here, First Circle, Trio Live, The Way Up Terence Blanchard: Flow Blakey: Free For All Jimmy Smith: The Boss Kenny Garrett: Songbook Jeff "Tain" Watts: Detained at the Blue Note

Ed, the PMG is doing a free show July 9th to close out the fest.

oh yeah, I noticed that feet crushing gravel sample in "Wadagbe" was on "Dis is Da Drum", which I thought was alright, but I like this album much better, great playing and tunes, a very layered effort too I think. Anybody else liking/not liking this record?

Kari, you will be pleased. Herbie plays an unbelievable solo on "The Source", IMO his best on record in recent years.

I picked this up last night, I like Terence but not having heard his first for BN, I bought it, I think this is the only time I've bought an album for a producer credit. and what a band. A very unique album, at points hinting at Mwandishi, the playing is nice, "Wadagabe" is pretty cool, as well as "Over There" which sucked me in b/c of its Metheny like build. I think Herbie's production influence is felt more in the said Mwandishi ish ness of cuts like "Wadagabe", and the world influence in many tracks. The man himself lights it up on "The Source", something about Herbie's trills make me scream out loud in ecstacy!!! Any other opinions of this one? oh yeah, whats with that whiny synth sound found on Snoop Dogg's early stuff (isn't that deriveed from P-Funk anyway that whiny synth sound) popping up on albums these days? even Lyle Mays uses it (to subtle effect) on "The Way Up"

I have it, and enjoy it, maybe one of the few things I've heard this year that is outstanding. One criticism tho, I think Rosenwinkel's compositions are very interesting, at this point they seem more about his head then heart. "Use of Light" and "Brooklyn Sometimes" as well as "The Cross" are tunes I can find a couple melodic hooks in. I bought "Heartcore" the same day too...... thats a head trip!

thanks! I shouldn't have but I ordered Dexter's "Carnegie Hall Complete"

he sounds ok, nothing spectacular. just hit his site and was greeted with a smooth tune doesn't mix with the other tracks on the CD in a good way, unfortunately.

ok, ok ok, can we go back to the topic please?

thanks for the correction Dan.

happy basude!!!!!!!!!!!!

I may have asked this before, after the Jimmy Smith gig, I know they had worked with Johnny Hammond, and I know Thornel cut a Prestige record "Soul Cookin", but did they continue to play on the NY scene or other local scenes?

I just gave a friend the recent RAM reissue and that copy of the show I burned (he'll get the official discs) and I ordered the Legacy edition, along with the new upcoming Wayne.

I like this tune, to me, it sounds based on "Wayne's "Speak No Evil". If I think of the head of Wayne's tune on top of the head of the Willis tune, it matches.

I saw Houston for the 2nd time late last year at Binghamton University with his regular quartet, it was really good.

oh man, I had d/l a bittorrent and burned the Pasadena show prior to this release. it even sounds as if it may be from the remaster as the quality is excellent, I should buy this b/c I would be better off having the concert officially released... despite having the original album remaster from a few years ago......... maybe I will just give it to a friend if I purchase the Legacy edition. I think dimeadozen.org removed the torrent when I made an announcement about the official release version of this gig.

thanks John, hopefully I can find copies of these recomendations.
