Just ordered it + new Don Friedman CD with Chuck Israels & Joe Hunt.

Doug Lawrence Quartet

How do you do that? Thanks.

I'll give it a try - pioneer - Ornette Coleman.

I e-mailed Laurie & she said CD Baby should have more copies "any minute".

Is that good or bad?

Just ordered me up a copy. Already out of stock at CD Baby.

Great book IMHO.

I'm back, as the Brewers take 2 of 3 from the Cardinals. Gagne sure has been terrible though - which I know some of you relish.

How do you feel about Monk and Powell? Both of them could get quite loud... Exactly what my question would have been. None of them bother me. There are a bunch of others as well - Garner, O.P. (who I know most of you didn't like anyway), etc.. Just comes with the territory I guess.

I saw / heard him live a couple of years ago. He still had "it".

What's the "gimmick" & how much cash are we talking about (in both cases)? Seriously.

Me too. I made one pass through this thread to date & I also say "thank you Dave".

I've heard similar reactions from people, that they find the resolution offensive instead of feel good. I'm most likely going to skip this one entirely. That's your loss (IMHO, of course).

I'll give it a try.

I'd actually like to see Leonard Cohen although, of course, that's not jazz.

Oh, I love that "twee" sounding anti-folk stuff... Belle and Sebastian is an awesome group! Kimya Dawson (Moldy Peaches) & Cat Power too.

The director, Jon Favreau, deserves some credit also.

Me too. I'll probably see the Batman movie when it comes out, not so sure about the Hulk.

Couldn't resist especially for that price. Thanks!

I'm glad I now know the difference between "nice" & "lucky". BTW in that "lucky" win over the Cubs, Gallardo tore his ACL.

Louise Erdrich: The Plague Of Doves

I wouldn't call it a "nice" win, I'd call it lucky, stolen, were the beneficiaries of a horrid performance by the closer. Exciting works, too. But it ain't nice. Nice is 8 innings of excellent pitching, a few clutch hits, 3-1, over and done. That's what the Cubs had, until Wood gave it to you on silver platter: 1st pitch, hit batsman second batter, double to left over Soriano's head, any other outfielder on the roster catches it for the first out. unintentional walk strikeout line drive that just clears Fukodome's mitt, then clears the bases. The last hit was the only well-hit ball. Not nice. Lucky. Occasionally you have to be "lucky" to be good.

Nice win for the Brewers today. Trailing 3 -1 in the top of the ninth they scored 3 runs to win 4 -3. Gagne shut down the Cubs in the bottom of the ninth for his 8th save.

Excellent record.
