Got it. Nice. Heard them live recently (with different bass & drums).

Not "the only". Intoducing The Elmo Hope Trio has them together. I have the JRVG.

I have 3 CDs documenting this music. All excellent.

Some story! Might make a great film.

It's a landslide - Newbury it is.

Enjoyed this substatially more than the same song performed live on Letterman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlRF43-xaYc...ted&search= Liked the body language in the video, seemed natural. Still, it is all kind of retro, isn't it? Yeah but - I've listened very carefully to both Amy Winehouse CDs, & I really like both of them.

So am I.

I was watching Letterman last night & there she was. I had never heard or seen her before. She wasn't bad. Not enough to send me out for the CD, but not bad.

I just ordered Lawn Chair Society yesterday. I've seen Werner live in a number of different settings. He's never been less than excellent.

I have absolutely zero interest in seeing this movie.

Beware the wrath of chewy!!

Preaching to the choir. Is there anyone that doesn't like Blue Serge?? Great album.

Wow....that sounds like a cool show! Please post a review if you get the chance. 95 minute single set. Venue sold out (approx. 200). Serious music - tart, rigorous, abstract, intelligent. All original music, only names of 2 songs announced. Repaid close attention, I'd go again.

Preordered the Braxton 9 disc Iridium set from Jazz Loft ($10 coupon expires 3/15 so I pulled the trigger). $102.99 including shipping.

The term "blind spot(s)" is all over this thread, & I was not referring to any one poster in particular. I also am not disrespecting anyone, just disagreeing with some viewpoints. BTW, I believe Africa Brass is just fine but so is / was Martin Williams.

Great stuff if you don't have it (& I didn't, since my vinyl days are long gone).

Lots of bulls**t & pontificating in this thread. FWIW, I started listening to "jazz" 50+ years ago. Williams & others (Hentoff, Max Harrison & yes, Ralph J. Gleason among others) were very helpful in providing guideposts. Anyone remember the original Jazz Review magazine? I also recall that Williams was among the first to "boost" attention to Ornette Coleman. Good enough for me. We all have our "blind spots".

I'll probably buy it too. They could have gone the route of the recent Dave Douglas live material & released these as downloads only. That would have pleased some & presumably allowed selective choices to be made. For me the CD format is preferable. Full disclosure: I haven't purchased any downloads of the Douglas material, but would buy some or all of it if it was on CD. Just a Luddite I guess.

60 & sunny.

Richard Thompson (solo) tonight. Lucinda Williams tomorrow night. Ralph Alessi Quintet next week (Ravi, Andy Milne, Ben Street, Gerald Cleaver).

Thanks Sal. Going to see it this week.

Roth's body of work (IMHO) makes him a strong candidate for the Nobel in literature.

Springtime (I think) in the (southern) Rockies.

Hi Phil. Good to "hear" from you.

I have the Rhino Handmade & really enjoy it, but $266!?!. As i recall, it did sell out quickly.
