Why? Yeah, why??

One I'd never seen before tonight, which gave me the idea for this thread... Post your favorites.

My favorite modern flute player is probably Gary Thomas (the tenor sax player, formerly M-BASE). He only plays a few cuts per album on flute (if that), but I've almost always loved whatever I've heard from him on the instrument. He's the ONLY sax/flute doubler I've ever heard where (I think) I can hear some of his sax playing and "personality" in his or her flute playing. His own "Pariah's Pariah" (Winter & Winter, 1999) is a pianoless quartet with Greg Osby, and there are at least two 'flute' cuts on there. He also plays flute on two or three cuts of Ingrid Jensen's "Higher Grounds" (Enja, 1998). (There are a couple others, but I'm not recalling them at the moment.) Once backstage at a Herbie Hancock gig in Columbia MO a few years ago (4tet with Gary, Scott Colley and Terri Lynne Carrington), Gary told me that flute was actually his first instrument. And of course Eric Dolphy, obviously -- who has/had the best pure flute technique of almost any jazz player I've ever heard.

There's a thread about this on the Steve Hoffman board, with an e-mail from some family about her status. (Don't have time to post a link -- I'm due out the door in 5 minutes.)

Perhaps -- EXCEPT that the gas mileage for a station wagon is probably at least 30% to maybe even 40% or 50% better than for most SUV's. I used to LOVE my '92 Honda Accord wagon (a fairly moderate size vehicle), and it got pretty decent gas mileage too (nothing like our Prius does now, but not that much less than our '93 Honda Accord 2-door sedan). Trouble is that practically all SUV's -- because they're technically 'trucks' in the eyes of the government regs -- don't have to adhere to the government standards for gas mileage. Detroit killed the station wagon (and I'll never forgive them for it), because they could make 2 or 3 times the profit on them, over what they could make on wagons or more utilitarian minivans. But I really blame us. We always want the biggest -- or at least quite a lot bigger than what we really need.

Here's the link... http://rapidshare.com/files/165264530/unknown.mp3 No idea what it is. Reminds me of some of the new age stuff on the Narada label from the late, late 80's / circa 1990. Good luck, and welcome to the board!

Given the rock bias of the list (a given, to be sure), I actually thought the list was halfway decent. A few nice inclusions I especially liked to have seen listed... 39 | Jeff Buckley 40 | Curtis Mayfield 55 | Paul Rodgers 60 | Björk 71 | Toots Hibbert 92 | Morrissey And one that's: 62 | Lou Reed

Full article... http://edgehopper.com/what-toyota-knows-that-gm-doesnt/ Wow! Edit: And, one week later, I just saw this quote buried in an article about Honda... Full article (on two pages, the 2nd one you have to click to get to).

Agree on both points, and two other things... 1) I saw Byron live about 6 or 7 years ago, and he plays WAY too damn much up in the altissimo range. Geez, Don, it's not a dog whistle. 2) His sound would work a lot better for me if he played alto clarinet at least some of the time (pitched in e-flat, about halfway between a standard clarinet and bass clarinet).

Can anybody think of any other similar "sponsorship" type albums?? -- where the name on the spine had next to nothing (or less) to do with the actual date?? (And not just "such-n-so presents" type billings -- but rather NOTHING on the jacket that gives any hint that the contents has/had almost no involvement by the name on the spine.) Sorry if this is a threadjack -- but I think my question is closely related to the purpose of this thread, and doesn't seem to merit an entirely separate one (IMHO).

Article on the subject, from Salon... I can has cheezburger ... and pathos? from the end of the article (on page 2)...

This one has to be fake -- or it sure sounds like it -- can anyone confirm?? Benny Bailey, Nathan Davis, Mal Waldron, & Others -- Soul Eyes - Jazz Live At The Domicile Munich Even the photo on the cover looks like a composite (is that the original cover?) SPECTACULAR music, though (especially Benny Bailey). Well worth the import price I paid for it at Dusty.

Post examples of ANY kind -- of parody. and/or discuss... First example: Sesame Street Special Report - Cookiegate (Muppet parody of the Iran-Contra scandal, from a 1988 prime time pledge drive special) Next!!!

Came right up for me, with no sort of password. Check it out people.

From the obi, this appears to be an organ date!!! (Turn your head 90 degrees to the right.) Joe Henderson Meets Kankawa Jazz Time II: Blue Bossa Live 1987 <<< Amazon link I'm not aware of many organ dates with Joe, save for a couple. 'Brown Sugar' and 'Unity' -- and Charles Earland's "Leaving This Planet". Is that it?? If this wasn't so damn expensive, I'd be half tempted to pick it up. Anybody here ever heard it?? 1. Softly As In A Morning Sunrise 2. Recorda-Me 3. Stella By Starlight 4. Blue Bossa

Joe's also on a third tune -- Canción Para Cádiz. All three tunes are fairly long too (almost 27 minutes of tunes with Joe). IMHO, Joe's contribution to all three tunes is as good as anything he recorded in the 90's. The whole date can be sampled here, and those in the US can hear (stream) the whole thing here for free.

Careful what you ask for...

My wife went to Paris (and Brussels) for vacation one February quite a number of years ago -- and she said it was somewhat cold, and maybe a little dreary -- but no more so than Seattle is in the height of winter (which is to say fairly tame, as far as 'winter' goes). Nothing like 'real' winter, here in the midwest. My wife likes winter, so the weather didn't bother her one bit. I think the temps were up to the mid 40's (F) during the day, and got down in the upper 20's at night.

Can't get it here in Kansas City (at least not that I've ever seen), so I usually pick up about 6 or 8 bottles in St. Louis every couple of years or so. If you're ever in St. Louis, you can usually find Gephard's at the Dierbergs supermarket chain (locations), and it looks like you can even buy it on-line through Amazon (HERE). THE best chili-powder I've ever tasted. My grandmother used Gephardt's exclusively for years, probably starting back 10 or 20 years before I was even born (and I'll be 40 next year). She swore it was the secret to GREAT chili.

1. Black Narcissus 2. Without A Song 3. You Know I Care 4. Beatrice 5. Recorda Me 6. Chelsea Bridge 7. Isotope 8. What's New 9. Serenity 10. Night And Day I will definitely try to pick this one up, as it contains two of my favorite of Joe's tunes -- 'Black Narcissus' and 'Isotope', and then 'Beatrice' is the icing on the cake. Three long-ish samples (mp3's) available here, and similar samples from the entire album are HERE.
