Is that a National steel on the piano? Cool!

I wish my CD player would automaitcally play the set without the DATED vocals.

That is kind of how I feel about the Cecil Taylor date as well.

I had Schlitz for the first time a week ago Wednesday. Not as offensive as some over-done pale ales I have been forced to drink. Every malt liquor I have ever had had treated me OK. Same as above. I might stand alone, but I prefer lagers over ales any day. There are exceptions, but they are few! [Newcastle being the most frequent exception.] Bohemia has been my beer of choice recently.

That is a great record. Had me in tears. Comedy Central just aired his old 30 min special, and followed it with an "In memory of" thing. Bummer.

That is the best pope story I have heard yet!

I wish Spring would get the RVG treatment.

Can you tell me a little more about this? Che. Written by guitarist Derek Bailey, one of the key figures (along with John Stevens, Evan Parker, Tony Oxley and -- in retrospect, perhaps -- the AMM crew [Eddie Prevost and Keith Rowe esp.]) in the development of free or "non-idiomatic" improvised music. I believe there was also a BBC television production that accompanied the [re-]publication of this book. Amazon link Intelligently written, but by no means "dry" or "academic". Bailey offers some overview, but he also lets the practitioners -- the musicians -- talk. Much appreciated. Che. It is a pretty fast read, too. Very interesting to read about improvisation from several different traditions.

Bummer! I would have a hard time not launching that thing into a sideway burnout at every stoplight.

Like it as well. It looks great on the road, too! Definitely and improvement over the jellybean atrocity that started in 1994. I like the touch with the small windows in the back like the old GT 350 H Mustangs. I saw one of those on the road this past weekend!

I finally bit the bullet and bought the Tahoe show. Jerry is on fire! Things tend to ramble at the end of the set, but those high points are HIGH.

I think it had something to do with my search for a copy of Basra.

I axed my e-muisc membership a while ago--they recently sent me an email for a free month's worth of downlaods [50]. Sweet! I will say, for those looking to make the most of the minutes-per-download ratio, there is a bunch of ragas by Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan, as well as several discs worth of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. So if you are into ragas or Qawaali, they have your number! This may have been mentioned before, but they also have some Blood and Fire reggae reissue stuff up now, too.

For jazz, it would be this: For rock, this was played nearly every day in the corporate whore record store I worked in for 6 months to make ends meet. I still like it! Radiohead - Kid A

Handles are part of the fun!

Funny, I was thinking about that but my sister-in-law borrowed the digital camera. When I get it back I will. Are you curious about the conditio or just want to see the 10 inch record and hand-written label? I am curious about that label!

Can you post a pic? I would love to see what it looks like.

:drool:

I don't want to second guess Mosaic, but it seems like Freddie Slack is an odd choice for a Select set. Who knows, maybe there were more requests for Freddie Slack than the Braxton Arista small group sides on the BNBB whn I wasn't looking...

All I see is Yoshi from the Mario Brothers games:

If I recall, the "acid" part of "acid jazz" was almost tongue-in-cheek. The people in the dance music world [house, techno, etc.] are notorious for naming all of these genres for music with only a little difference between. The prime example being the jungle craze in the 90s-you had two-step, jazz-step, hard-step, tech-step, etc., etc. When the DJs were spinning these old soul jazz sides, they called it acid jazz. Just like the jungle thing, house music DJs were naming like crazy. One of the terms just happened to be ACID HOUSE. I think...

I just saw this on Jazzmatazz and was intrigued.

YAY! :rsmile:

How long do these .shn shows take to download, on a good day with a cable modem? One album that I think borrows heavily from this era is Squarepusher's "Music is Rotted One Note." Tunes are much more brief and more abstract, but still worth a listen.

Holy crap! A shellac holy grail, yes? And for $2.00!
