I saw him live recently playing duets with Marc Copland. I found the music depressing & angst ridden. Guess I wasn't in the right mood that night.

There's a DIW CD (? in print) by a Dave Douglas Quartet that has several Joni Mitchell songs on it.

It's not a "dud'. Having said that, I personally prefer Sweet Rain.

Definitely worth any (semi-reasonable) price you have to pay for it.

This turned out to be an excellent show.

Good stuff. Mix it with Oregon chai & heat for a real treat. Get some biscotti for dunking too.

So somebody buy the Watkins already. Great cover too.

I got mine from amazon.uk Good service & good price (if they still have it).

Played this twice today. I like it.

Unfortunately this is not an area I have any expertise in (I'm a gastroenterologist). What I will say is that this evaluation should be completed ASAP.

That's quite a haul for around $100. I say - "nice going".

The number the above will sell to me - zero.

Monday night I saw Frank Morgan with George Cables, Cecil McBee & Leroy Williams. They all seemed to be in good shape & good form.

I like 'em too. I admit to not being much of a polarity reverser.

Ordered my copy.

We watch Boston Legal & The Wire, sometimes Letterman & an occasional sports event.

FWIW the same offer is posted at AAJ with (so far) no replies.

We have early voting, so I voted about a week ago. I got a ballot & a #2 pencil.

Frank's going to be playing at The Outpost in Albuquerque next week in a group with George Cables, Cecil McBee & Leroy Williams. Looking forward to it.

pre-ordered from Barnes & Noble, $26.60 & free shipping.

Don't know if this really has anything to do with this thread, but Jim Hall is on a Greg Osby Blue Note with Andrew Hill on piano.

If you like this, see if you can find The Hip: Hipsters, Jazz & The Beat Generation. Published 1986 by Faber & Faber. Written by Roy Carr, Brian Case & Fred Dellar. Very cool!

That sounds about right. I received an e-mail from the publisher today saying the book would be released in "about 10 weeks".

Is this actually issued yet? I e-mailed Berkeley Hills books, but they never replied. If it's out, where is the best online source to obtain a copy?

I'm not hardbop, nor am I a hardbop apologist, but I don't think the Murray thread at that other place has been fairly characterized here. Some might want to read it & some of the comments more carefully. I seem to recall some harsh criticism of Murray in the past by a very esteemed member of this board. The Roney thread is another story, although I'm cautious about the inclusion of D. J. Logic. On the other hand (& way off topic) artists like Uri Caine have used "turntableists" effectively, so I'll have to listen more carefully. Disclaimer: I'm not a big hip hop fan.
