Metheny excels in these small group settings. For those who look upon the work of the Pat Metheny Group with disdane, it's an opportunity to see him display hs "real jazz" chops. I'm a huge Metheny fan and love the PMG. But hearing Metheny interpret some of his classic PMG tunes in a more straight ahead setting is always something special. The rest of the quartet - I'm honestly not too familiar with David Sanchez, but Antonio Sanchez and Christian McBrie are outstanding. So, GO!

Go!

Nice interview. OrganEEsEEmo? Have I been pronouncing it wrong all these years?

I went to the Root Doctor site the other day and listened to the tracks available. That is some wicked-ass shit, I kid you not. I'm looking forward to hearing the new disc and hope you keep us apprised of the progress toward release. Fellow organissimonians - if you're at all into r&b/blues, definitely worth checking out.

Resistance is futile

HUH????

Congratulations David - Great news!

Well, a brand new 2005 Trek 1500 now sits in my garage. Picked it up today. I'm taking my first ride tomorrow - can't wait. The bike shop I bought it from has been very helpful. They are also having a seminar on bicycle care in a couple of weeks that I'll be going to. Thanks to all for your help and comments - even if some were of the reality check nature. Always good to look all sides.

No offense, but when I want Mosaic like service, I buy from Mosaic. I have purchased discounted Mosaic sets that were released by Mosaic for general sale, but I stick to retailers I've done business with in the past.

But it is pronounced Throatwarbler Mangrove

My real name is Sven Edwich

And in the Four Freshmen world, it's the ONLY Mosaic set.

You beat me to that one! Nice lineup of upcoming sets, I'd say.

Plus the ones we already knew about - Tolliver, Rich, Berry, PJ Piano

Oh yeah - Oliver Nelson

Not to mention McCoy Tyner

And Tony Williams fans

Something in there for LP lovers, BTW

Mosaic Future Projects

I saw that on the other thread too. Last week someone had written that they were down to less than 100. At any rate, my point holds - Anita is on the Last Chance list, JJ is on the Running Low list. Pick up Anita now, save up for JJ in a couple of months. I don't think there's any urgency right now for JJ.

Less than 100 Anita sets left. WAY more JJs. JJ is still in running low category. Buy the Anita now Save up for the JJ - plenty of time left on that one, IMO

Thanks for the alternative views. I do have a Schwinn Crosstrail that I picked up used for a couple of hundred bucks about 10 years ago. It's a nice bike for the purposes that you use yours for, Jerry. I'll still use it for neighborhood rides with my sons and short trips around town - especially if I know I'll have to leave it unattended. It is a pretty heavy cluncker too - has front and rear fenders, one of those storage racks on the back, generator with headlight and tail-light. I'm looking to kick it up a notch and try to put on some miles and enjoy some of the roads in the area that I'd never reach with my Schwinn. Western New York has some hilly areas and I live about 12 minutes by car from the nearest ski resort, 25 minutes from the next nearest, so I'm on the fringes of some rather hiily and picturesque country. I'm thinking that a bike like the Trek 1500 will help in that regard.

So very sorry to hear the news Conrad. Best widhes to you and your family as you work through your mother's passing.
