Who cares what a jazz musician is wearing offstage? I know I don't care about it at all. I don't have anywhere near all of Zorn's recorded output, but from what I have, his compositions do not sound the same at all. In fact, I am not aware of many jazz composers who have written music as varied as Zorn. He is however a poseur. 100 more compositions. Why he is a poseur? Please explain. That is a strong charge against an artist, and I am genuinely unaware of what Zorn may have done to deserve it. Translation: He just dropped 200 more versions of the same thing. Blue Train, you seem to intensely dislike John Zorn. Could you explain why? I truly don't understand what there is about him that would inspire such dislike. I agree with Hot Ptah's entire post.

Some of you guys have too much time on your hands.

No access to the original that I'm aware of. Your perspective from Tokyo might be different than mine from the southwest US. I thought Demian Bichir was really good.

I'd take my chances & go to a live concert.

Usual (IMO) worthless debate. Oh - & BTW it's Alec Baldwin. The new Jarrett CD is fine (also IMO).

Sorry - you'll have to translate 90% of that & English is my first language.

I don't hear the album that way at all. I believe it's better than that. Oh & BTW it's Claroscuro.

Walter Mosley: Little Green

Just watched the debut of The Bridge.

Yes, the third season is shaping up well too. I agree. I wonder if they're getting enough viewers to have a 4th season.

Major Crimes Not bad, although I miss Kyra Sedgwick.

Porter

Vandermark 10CD Resonance Not Two box.

Amazon U.S. now shows it as in stock.

Arrived direct from OKKA today. Very fast service.

I have it pre-ordered at Amazon. Hope it eventually shows up.

That makes 2 of us.

Jayne Cortez has died since the 2012 birthday. A source (not sure how reliable) claims that Ornette has early dementia. Hope not.

Terry Allen - Lubbock singer / songwriter / multi - media artist. BTW, now lives in Santa Fe. Very cool guy. http://www.terryallenartmusic.com/ Joni Mitchell

I'd pay $1 for it.

Veep - season finale. Hope there's a 3rd season.

Congratulations. My wife & I have our 50th anniversary on July 7.

Hot. 102 yesterday & we're 7000+ feet above sea level. Humidity is around 10%. Total rainfall here for the year is .7 of an inch. Many forest fires in the state.

I applaud these choices.
