  1. Bizarre. They are still not supplying the public with a credible motive.
  2. I see the knee-jerkers have already checked in here. My opinion, there's got to be more to it than what's in the article.
  3. Yes, along with other Monk-related items, clothing, etc. Catalog should be online.
  4. What do you mean 'what's up'? Someone bought them from the famous Guernsey's Auction of jazz memorabilia in 2005. I was there too, it was amazing! Wish I had the money then. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=pioneer+pl-70lii&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xthelonious+monk+manuscript.TRS0&_nkw=thelonious+monk+manuscript&_sacat=0
  5. Many happy returns, fellow cat-man!
  6. Not knowing his life's story, to my untrained eye he looked like a genuinly good guy. Never saw his name in the headlines described as an asshole. Too bad, just 66 y.o.
  7. Awful. My condolences to the families and the loved ones. This is our reality, and I'm afraid it will not stop any time soon, if ever.
  8. Well, regarding The Magnificent Seven, somehow I reserved the remake with Ethan Hawke etc., not the original. Not sure I want to watch it. I didn't know there was a recent remake. Why do they keep making these new versions, when the originals are readily available?!
  9. When I see a bizarre and/or stupid crime-related headline in the news, I automatically assume it happened in Florida, unless I read otherwise.
  10. I'm sure he wouldn't be upset at Teramisu. His former band-mates in the Asian Jazz All-Stars Power Quartet have a tuine called Teramisu, dedicated to him. But if anyone feels 'triggered', I do apologize. https://www.allaboutjazz.com/on-the-road-with-the-asian-jazz-all-stars-power-quartet-jeremy-monteiro-by-ian-patterson.php?page=1 That was a pun on "lost his shit". Lost his bushito....get it? Again, if anyone feels particularly 'triggered', I do apologize. So...how about this: at the concert Terumasa had a sudden flashback of his little brother Motohiko pounding on the drum set non-stop, and, in a state of great distress, converted that memory into the altercation with the kid drummer. Any Freudian analysts here, who can put it into proper terms?
  11. Teramisu had lost his bushito that night. http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/samurai-delicatessen/n8627?snl=1
  12. Video of the beat-down starts at 1:30. He did smack the kid. WTF, Hino...
  13. Thanks. I'll keep my eye open for this one.
  14. Never heard of this musician, or the album. What does the cover look like?
  15. Evidently your diet is to blame. More saturated fat and sugar will help bring your figure back.
  16. Willie Bobo - BOBO MOTION Heh.
  17. Cool. Just reserved the BR of The Magnificent Seven at the town library. Set a quota of one western a week for myself for the next couple of months, should be enough to cover all the best ones..
  18. I am ashamed to say I haven't seen it. But I did see the Seven Samurai. Forgot to add one of my favorites - The Outlaw Josey Wales
  19. Dmitry

    Toots Thielemans

    Incidentally, just picked up an original Stereo pressing of the Man Bites Harmonica, havn't played it yet. His The Whistler and His Guitar is cute, in a muzak sense. Both of the Brasil Project cds are enjoyable. Of course, seeing him live at the Iridium ca.1999 was phenomenally-interesting. Also, when I was in Nice about 22 years ago, I caught a tv documentary on him, in Flemish[?]. Couldn't understand a word. It was about a 2 hour affair. I wonder if it's been subtitled, as it looked like serious career retrospective. I must admit that listening to an album's-worth of harmonica drives me nuts.
  20. Willie Bobo - BOBO MOTION, original 1967 mono. I'm sure stereo sounds more interesting, but this is what I got. A nice, funky album, displaying technical mastery of those on it. The band personnel is not listed, I hear someone similar to Plas Johnson there. It's a top of the line, swinging band. All the tunes were arranged by Bert Keyes and Sonny Hill, names that are not immediately recalled by my unencumbered memory. Also dig the cover.
  21. Yep, enjoy!
  22. Yep, I got it as a present from a dear buddy of mine. While no t a great fan of compilations, this is an awesome slice of the CTI oeuvre, I enjoy it a lot. Whoever compiled it, did a superb job.
  23. Your valuable support will not go unnoticed, comrade Uli. No pasaran!
  24. I've never seen this record before. With a cover like this, I'd remember if I had.
