Beatrice (Sam Rivers), Black Narcissus (Joe Henderson), and Little Wing (Hendrix) all immediately come to mind as examples of really great melodic beauty, with equally beautiful changes. My first post (ever) from my iPhone - just upgraded from a 10 year old flip-phone.

What's the date on that Downbeat? I've got my uncle's DB collection now, and here in DC with me -- pretty much complete from early (April?) 1967, through the mid-80's (maybe '87, I forget).

I'm sure there's be folks with info and opinions on this over at the Steve Hoffman board, FWIW.

Mmmm... "scalded stomach"!!

Did he ever record again after the Larry Young dates?

How I wish he'd recorded more - there's just the four Larry Young BN dates - or that's all I'm aware of. RIP -- I'll be spinning the Larry Young Mosaic this week ("Mother Ship" probably being one of my top 10 BN dates).

I've bungee jumped (once, over 20 years ago), and I can confirm this. Though I'm not longing to bungee jump again, I'd soon jump 10 times, than run the bulls.

Because if there's any source I trust on air safety, it's some jackass who starts chain emails. http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Asia-Pacific/2013/0712/Asiana-Flight-214-Was-the-pilot-training-program-to-blame re: tl;dr... I thought it was well worth the read, actually (and appreciated it having been posted here). It seemed to have the ring of truth to my ears (or at least one truth), from what I think seems like one informed perspective. Who knows, maybe it was all BS, but there was enough technical detail, and generally didn't come off as someone who had an axe to grind -- that it sure seems like the real deal to me. "Some jackass who starts chain e-mails" this did not read like.

No Jack Bruce thread is complete without one of my favorites of his vocal contributions... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lh5BNZHz24s

I've got one of these, but had no idea it was worth much (though certainly an interesting date, definitely)... http://www.ebay.com/itm/DYANI-TEMIZ-FEZA-Music-For-Xaba-LP-on-UK-Sonet-Free-Jazz-/221244104420?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item33832d1ee4

Or the 2nd Quintet with Joe Henderson added (in '67, iirc). Or the Miles and Gil Evans Orchestra concert from '68, with Wayne (iirc).

The Jazz Messengers with Tyrone Washington and Woody Shaw on the front line (circa 1969, April iirc)

I'd love to see Contrasts released as an individual title...

My favorite contribution to this thread yet. Not sure my brain every really processed that that was a door (before seeing it here), but it certainly delighted in noticing it within the contect of this thread!

Both are great Roger Waters projects, IMHO -- perhaps even his very best. But neither seem very much like Pink Floyd to me. No small point -- I really feel as though there's a HUGE tide-shift with The Wall. Maybe that's not all Roger's fault -- artists change and evolve, as is their every right. I've read dozens of places that the rest of the band kinda checked-out, in terms of contributing to the creative process. So manybe there's plenty of "blame" to go around (if one wants to think of it that way -- though I don't). All I know is that when Roger and the rest of Floyd had their big legal battles in the late 80's (over the name) -- one of the things to come out of the settlement, was that Roger fully owns and controls The Wall (with the exception of Gilmour's co-composer credits on Young Lust, Comfortably Numb, and Run Like Hell). And nothing could be more appropriate, in my mind -- because The Wall is FULLY a "Roger" project, with Pink Floyd (sure), but it was Roger's baby almost entirely. Same with The Final Cut (which Roger also owns and controls) -- a "Roger" project, with Pink Floyd. If I owned copies of The Wall and The Final Cut, I would file them under "Waters, Roger" in my collection. In essence, the proto-start of his solo career, as far as I'm concerned.

As far as redbook CD issues go, the audiophiles on the Hoffman board think the newest remaster of Animals is the most significant sonic improvement of any of the latest reissues. (I don't have time to source it at this moment, but there was a poll there -- and Animals won, hands-down -- two to one over the next highest vote-getter, iirc.) Talking about the reissues around the same time as the huge Dark Side box, what, 2 going on 3 years ago? - gosh, that seems like yesterday. FWIW.

How about a window?

So, what are the rules again? I've not followed the thread closely (obviously), but the rules were never completely clear to me (or maybe I'm just an idiot. )

The nice thing about the BBC stuff is there are a handful of tunes that he otherwise never (or very rarely) ever performed live. Throw in a few nice covers, and the the BBC stuff -- while made up of shorter tunes -- is generally a really strong set of material - IMHO.

Can't recomend the entire recording -- but the Albert Hall recording of "Little Wing" (I think from 1969) is absolutely definitive -- even topping the studio version. That said, the rest of that night is a mixed bag.

I can't help but wonder what they'll actually broadcast on that actual South Dakota station?

The thing is, it's really NOT a train wreck at all. Hell, I think it's every bit as good as Natural Essence, and perhaps even a little better even!

Just gave $50 -- let's shoot for $800!
