Yes, it comes and goes, but has been on an uptick recently...don't know why. Just turned 59.

I've been asked to give my input at work (Mult Co Library, best public library system in America) as to whether we should acquire some of the Hal Leonard Play-along books/CDs or something else similar. Any thoughts?

Nice parody (I hope), but how many (any) did they sell? And no, I'm not thinking that my library should buy it!

WHA also meant that Gordie Howe got to play on a line with his sons, but also that not everyone now realizes what a great player he was.

http://www.theonion.com/articles/god-reveals-he-occasionally-eats-humans,34264/ how 'bout this? http://www.theonion.com/articles/weird-man-begins-every-morning-by-dousing-his-nake,34304/ that's funny! And what about names like Cheif or Scout or just Indians, which are admiring, at least on the surface? And how 'bout some freaking jobs on the Rez and to heck with what anyone calls their darn sports teams?

Go 'Riders!

I heard Lovano be great and kind meh on the same day at Newport, but I think the difference in temp between the main stage in the sum and the side-stage in the shade was playing havoc with the horn players...

Special drummer, very special bandleader, unique career tragetory, definitely will be missed by me.

That last minute score, oops you called time out thing is like something the Riders would do - who can forget the extra man snafu!

I that wass Sweet Thunder and they were in Victoria too? Nice store, NOT cheap!

I've had this year's Jubelale and thought it wasn't quite as good as it sometimes is (it varies a lot, year to year). Usually prefer Full Sail's Wassail or Pyrimid's Snow Cap, but not always (they vary too, but less so).

Oops! shoulda put that last comment in the other thread, or not...'my world' v. 'the world' would affect the rest of the list to be sure, but Louis is still #1...

Any list of Jazz Albums that Shook anything, really, that doesn't put the Armstrong Hot 5s & 7s (& w/Earl Hines, which is really a different thing even if the're all lumped together now), if it doesn't have that first, it's just WRONG!

Now that I've been other-ly disgusting and killed the thread, back to the subject at hand. Lost sessions, by HH, the one that intrigues me is the one on BN that they released one cut ("Don't Even Go There", great title) on a sampler (Lost Sessions?) and dissed it by saying it was stiff and contrived and I'm all like 'yeah, but no more so than most jazz funk'....anyway, has any more that leaked out (officially or otherwise)?

that is very funny!! I will have to pass this one along to him. I know he'll get a good laugh from it. glad you took it in a good way, hope he does too

OK, this is weird - what exactly did they even think they was going for here?

with his other flute in his other hand?

Yes, with Booker he plays like he's got gilded cahones.

Another weird synchronicity with me and that other sax player with a wife named Brenda, I too have an early mono copy of Dippin' (if I could have all my BN that way I would), and it is all that, interactivity-wise and all, but I still prefer Caddy For Daddy!

And that's why they rocked, even when they didn't exactly, because they were, at heart, a bar band but a bar band with ambitions. Now most bar bands with ambitions didn't even get the chance to fail, they were lucky to get a bar to play in, but the Beatles got the chance to try for their ambitions, and they didn't fail to realize them. Now those ambitions may have had their limits, and misconceptions, and I think they came to see that themselves, but they got their shot and took it as far as they could. And yeah, Paul and Ringo, but the other thing I love on that Swedish radio thing is hearing John's voice without any filters, literal or metaphorical.

I used to use the end of Part of the Search as the end of my radio show in College, thought I was being quite conceptual playing a record that sounded like a radio station signoff!

that looks like fun

Patton had interesting taste in'covers', so maybe that's the connection?

And, it's a picture of an alto when Shaw (usuall, always?) played tenor...
