Adam Ross: Mr. Peanut

It's the American way. It's the Tzadik way. That label has some hilariously overblown descriptions of its product. But it is a great CD.

David Fulmer: Rampart Street

Per Petterson: Out Stealing Horses

True Blood - almost caught up on Season 3 which we've had on DVR.

So - when is Subject To Change going to be reissued on CD? Good question. There is no date for a CD issue. A digital issue will likely appear on ITunes before it does on CD. Do you have the LP? My turntable is long gone, never to return. Sold all of my vinyl years ago.

So - when is Subject To Change going to be reissued on CD?

How about Roy Haynes & / or Henry Grimes??

I got it too, & I agree.

In no order: Jimmy Giuffre Pee Wee Russell Anat Cohen Don Byron

I will too.

Dan Chaon: Await Your Reply

Never saw Ernie Henry. Did see all of the others on my list.

My next 5 after Ornette would have been Ernie Henry, Bunky Green, Jackie McLean, Pepper & Threadgill.

They're slow, but I just received my Lowell Davidson & Don Cherry CD's from the summer sale. Took about 10-12 days, & I did receive a shipping notice.

Ornette Coleman

Art Pepper: Stuttgart, 1981

As I posted above, but you're right, it can't be emphasized enough! Yep - it's on the Mosaic. BTW, I like the whole box set a lot!!

Joan Baez

From your long list my favorites are: Sopapillas - get 'em nice & puffy, tear off a small corner, put honey inside. Churros - first experienced in Oaxaca, a few places here in Santa Fe (El Meson's have been the best) make them. Dip in hot chocolate

William Parker Organ Quartet: Uncle Joe's Spirit House (ltd. ed. 1000) - direct from Aum Fidelity

Luis Alberto Urrea: Into The Beautiful North

It's really too bad that you watch that and have nothing but negative things to say. It is completely your loss. I thought it sounded really good. And in a more natural live context I bet it'd stretch out and be much better even. Tedeschi is a frickin' monster singer (though I personally could do without her guitar playing...). Damn she's great. You can come at this w/ the purist attitude and wish that herbie was still playing classic quintet stuff. And you can come at this w/ the opposite purist attitude and get down on herbie for not constantly playing more "creatively" and pushing some personally idealized envelope. Or you can come at this w/ an open mind and hear this as a funky, soul/blues number played by a bunch of killin' musicians having a great time being fronted by a monster singer. How you look at it is your choice. And this is not to say that everyone has to 'like' this tune or style. Not liking it is fine. But it feels to me that the way you are 'hating' on this tune/performance/herbie here, there's some kind of agenda being pushed instead of just saying "I don't care for the soul/pop thing here." If you don't like it, that's cool. But writing "the whole thing is terrible... SAD!!!... herbie's attempt at a jazz solo." Herbie doesn't attempt a jazz solo. and besides, this wasn't a jazz tune. "attempt?" give that shit a rest. Thanks for your pleasant reply - "shit", etc. I should have said IMHO. I didn't think the jazzy 4 bar solos had anything to do with the rest of what was happening. Appears that only you & I care anyway.

Herbie Hancock on Letterman last night. The whole thing was terrible. Herbie's attempt at a jazz solo had nothing to do with the pedestrian blues that was going on. SAD!!

Love that "torn open & crushed" component.
