Yeah - but an entire year to get an answer!?! I'm not as patient as you apparently are.

I'm "amazed" (well maybe not amazed) that this rather generic music is getting this much attention.

new Liberty Ellman, Kirk Knuffke & Mary Halvorson CDs.

No, no - Lee's scat singing drives me crazy.

I know not everyone agrees, but it's the damn "scat" singing that doesn't work for me.

Personally, have never really felt him too much, but objectively, yes, definitely. And definitely in terms of enabling writers. Guess you could say John LaPorta too, but at some point, history sorts it all out... George Russell: Jazz Workshop - maybe too far afield. McKusick is great on this.

I don't know what we're talking about - but, Hal McKusick.

Interesting bunch for sure.

Cotterill: Six And A Half Deadly Sins

Show Me A Hero - HBO

O.K. - so I watched the entire 8:48. I'm sorry but I don't get the point.

Media mail I suppose. Don't think it's as reliable as 1st class & not that much cheaper for 1 CD.

If you live long enough everything (almost) gets reissued.

I haven't purchased a Scofield CD in years. Maybe this'll be the one.

Bruce DeSilva: Providence Rag

Sharel Cassity

The programme was very skillfully finessed to get over the seemingly crippling loss of Brenda. It's very much a team show now, although I wish they'd get rid of the kid, I find him a pain. I think he was introduced to show off the softer, maternal side of Sharon. You recall she was a real badass villian and instrumental in Brenda's departure towards the end of The Closer. I agree, it's a well made series that is consistently good, except for Rusty. Everytime Julio speaks up I think of Breaking Bad. The series returns in November.

I'm definitely getting the new Knuffke.

Major Crimes - season finale, underrated series IMHO.

I received a similar e-mail months ago. I haven't been to AAJ either in years. As I recall I ignored the e-mail & nothing happened.

O.K. - I hope the Miles movie is better than Ishtar. Apples & oranges + wishful thinking I suppose.

Looks interesting. Do I wish it wasn't solo. Not sure.

Could he (Williams) have written "good songs". I actually don't know. Maybe they wouldn't have fit the movie. Not sure why I care.

Great set!!

The success I presume, not the songs.
