I agree with Sal. Does Tony repaying all of Hesch's money portend something "bad"?

$2.81 today at (you should pardon the expression) Sam's Club. 30-40 cents less than elsewhere in town. Might be different tomorrow.

Sounds good.

Taylor Ho Bynum Sextet (Firehouse 12 CD)

Lucky 7s: Farragut You'll like that too - really!!

I like the stuff in the Tatum Group Masterpieces box set. Not sure re: individual availability.

Very worthwhile. Laurie has lots more.

Yes indeed.

Excellent one.

CD reissues of the first 3 Leonard Cohen albums. Mine went the way of all vinyl years ago.

I was at that same run at The Jazz Workshop. I was an intern at the Boston City Hospital at the time. The "show" I was at had at least one other saxophone player. I think it was Carlos Ward. It was pretty intense. I loved it at the time. Don't know how it would hit me today.

Coleman Hawkins: Rainbow Mist

Matt Wilson's Arts & Crafts

Ouch. I guess Chris didn't like her. BTW in my cursory search at AAJ, I found more that was +. In fact I couldn't find the Albertson quote. Disclaimer: As I said, my search was not exhaustive.

I'm not interested in arguing with anyone. I'd love to see Ornette play live & not pay a lot. Not gonna' happen. With some associates we do some jazz "booking" here in the desert. We recently were offered the "opportunity" to present 2 famous jazz musicians in a concert of duets. The price was $40,000. Maybe it was negotiable, but we didn't even try. We booked a great quartet for $4K, sold our 100 seats, & everyone had a good time. Needless to say, I will not name names.

Ornette (or anyone else) can ask for whatever $$$ they want. If they don't get hired, that's their problem. Maybe he doesn't need the money.

That's called the "chew test". I'd go to the dentist.

That's a great Baron Wolman photo. Rolling Stone photographer back in the day. Lives here in Santa Fe now. Went to a recent exhibit of his & the photos overall were quite good. BTW (IMHO) you need both of these CDs.

Canela - Patrice Rushen, Justo Almario, Abe Laboriel, Alex Acuna

I don't have any empathy for Imus (here comes the but). Sharpton = Tawana Brawley as well as many racist, anti-Semitic statements. Jackson = hymietown as was mentioned earlier. I personally can live without all 3 of them. When you spit up in the air you know where the spit may land.

Light In The Attic Records is about to reissue the first 2 Betty Davis albums with bonus tracks. If they do as good a job as they did with their Karen Dalton reissue, these will be great. According to their description these are authorized & Betty will be receiving royalties. Apparently she is living in Pittsburgh & is broke. http://www.lightintheattic.net

Get Frank too. She was 19 when she recorded it. It's excellent anyway.

I bought a few that I didn't have in any other format (4, 5, 6; Tenor Madness; Lockjaw). I like 'em.

No, go see "The Namesake" as well! Why does life have to be "either/or"? Why choose when you can have both? I guess I'm not part of the "hip young audience" anymore. Maybe my loss , maybe not. I'm just at the stage where I'd rather go see the 1962 Italian movie, Mafioso (to name another).
