I have "Hot Buttered Soul" SACD and it SMOKES!!!!

This is pretty damn dark:

Odd, isn't it? It helps me paint, though. Chaos is fine, but I like the experimenting on Roots -- use of Brazilian tribal beats, carnival, etc. And the most ear splitting vocals..... From Anthrax, I actually like the Greater of Two Evils cd that came out last year. Not too many bands have a chance to revisit old tunes from years past and actually better them. This is one FINE metal cd. Sound is amazing as well! Oh yes, sometimes I wind down to Larry Young's Unity.

I kid you not, but I listen to Sepultura (especially ROOTS), and Anthrax to settle down. Or charge up, whichever. Jazz nor classical can do it for me during stress. I need the noise. The neighbors don't, but they haven't complained.....yet!

It's not like the kids are going out to the hardware store and buying the ingredients like the bomb that exploded in Oaklahoma City.

No, not tinny at all.

Happy birthday John!

Always reboot after installing. And just as important, you need to run Disc Utility to Verify Permissions. Preventive maintenance.

I can see it now -- laws created so that no one can play offensive or adult material on the ipods in public.... I'm sure 80 GB drives will be available eventually -- but c'mon, you really have the need to put the Blue Note library on one ipod?

"Woman in the Window" should be reissued on dvd. I had a VHS copy some time ago, and I think I wore it our from playing it many times. Scarlet Street needs to have a definitive remastering job, as it is public domain and all the copies I have seen are washed out and too much contrast.

Barbara Donald also plays on the Smiley Winters cd, on Arhoolie. Check it out, especially the first track, where Winters, who plays drums, basically goes insane.

Thanks! Well then it is a shame it isn't complete.

Well where did the more complete recordings come from? FM broadcasts or ?

Got mine. Will pop in the cd player STAT.............

Sepultura "Roots" deluxe edition -- I had to reorder it because it had been backordered for so long. Same with the Miles Davis deluxe edition.

Both -- but really, the Itunes update should suffice.

Happy birthday Marcus!

Snakey? Please explain, Lon. I think his influence lies in the expanded possibilites and the language that a jazz player can have in playing, but I don't think there will be imitators.

Has North Philly gotten any better? Always used to go by it on the train and it was a sad sight to see.

The quartet was fantastic! Perfect weather -- a little sound problem in the beginning, but overall, they had the audience in their hands and they played great! It is interesting to hear the evolution of the band, from Perez's confidence in his playing, to some of the best playing I have ever heard from Pattitucci -- outrageous funky beats. Wayne is still in fine form; having a lot of fun on stage.

Been listening to the Jazz Crusaders box. Up to disc 4. This is NICE!!!! BTW, McMaster did a really fine job on the sound.

Hey Weizen, how come I wasn't invited??

yup

Son of a gun!!!!!!!!! I'm there!! Hell yes I'm there!!!!!!!!!!

I would pick up Enlightenment. Live at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1973, and he is on fire -- as well as his band.
