Hey, I just fixed this one so it's better than my first try -- so back off!!

I can think of a bunch, but I'm sure there are a ton more I'm not (yet) aware of. I'll only mention one to start with, just to get the ball rolling... Gil Evans' son Miles Evans (yes, named after that Miles), plays trumpet (I think, if I remember right), and played in Gil's band (orchestra) for a number of years (at least in the 80's, that I'm aware of). The musician offspring need NOT be well known -- just whatever seems interesting to this thread. (And the jazz musician parent(s) need not be very well known, but at least known to some around here.) Others of note?? Remember, the musical offspring need NOT be involved in jazz. In some ways, I'm hoping this thread will reveal a few slightly well-known NON-jazz musician kids (with a jazz parent), that I and others here were not previously aware of.

At this point I'm thinking I'll just wear my black tuxedo jacket (with tails), over a bright orange t-shirt -- probably with jeans (or maybe my tux pants), and be done with it. That fits the evening, color-wise, and is really simple without being a real "costume" (which I rather dislike having to wear). But if I were going to go with an actual costume (something simple please), any ideas?? I really don't like Halloween parties much, but I've agreed to help with one at our church - since it's a benefit for the handbell choir I direct there. Maybe something where I get to take one or two hand-held props, and suddenly I'm "in costume" - without really having to wear a costume?? Bonus points for something really clever, thanks!! (FWIW, I'm working behind a bar during the party, or at a refreshments table -- far as I know know.)

Iron Chef!!

Haven't gotten her CD yet, but I've been tempted a number of times. Anybody know if the bonus tracks on the Best Buy exclusive version just issued within the last month are worth getting that version?? That's the way I'm leaning, especially since the basic album itself clocks in at like 36 minutes (or so I've heard).

For those of us too lazy to check around everywhere, is CDU the cheapest way to get this here in the US?? I just recently found a cheap used copy of Seven Steps to Berlin (for about $54), but what I'm REALLY dying to hear is the On The Corner box.

Be glad it was just his chin... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zetQ2RgfdW0#

Hey Jim, How much actual cost is it to record one tune in your own home "studio" -- or in some other "less than optimal" environment?? (but still reasonably close to a "studio recording" in terms of quality, i.e. good enough for those who aren't too damn picky). (Something akin to the Xmas tunes you've done for us in the past??) I've got a good idea for a "debt retirement" party, that could be REALLY good for you ($$), and good for us too.

So, if I'm hearing right in the media (and I've not dug into this one bit, so I only know what I've heard randomly), if I have cable TV now, I basically don't have to do anything different after the change?? (I heard congress is mandating that cable TV provide the necessary bridge from the future technology back to the old stuff we have now.) And can I use my old TV equipment as is, presumably with a new decoder box from the cable company?? Actually, I should amend that to say that I'll need to actually get a decoder box from the cable company. I currently use the decoders (or is "receiver" a better term?) in the TV's themselves. So yes, I can't tape anything different that what I'm watching on the same TV itself, and yes, I'm still taping on VHS. I never tape anything to keep, so I pretty much only use the VCR to time-shift viewing (yes, like a DVR, or Tivo). Which leads to a good question, will my old VCR's be able to tape the HDTV signals after they are decoded back into the old (current) technology?? I would think they would have to, in order for the signal to display on older TV's. I imaging we'll upgrade to "digital cable" around the time we have to get a decoder box from the cable company (in a little less than 2 years). Until now, we've been content with the basic cable we have now (about 70 stations).

From about 1995 to 2001 or so, I would have said Classical was actually my FIRST choice (strictly composers who worked from about 1850 and after, but especially the first half of the 20th century). And Jazz would have been a close second choice. But for the last 6 or 7 years, I've shifted rather strongly towards Jazz, with Modern Rock as my current second choice. Classical would be a distant third now. I still own more classical CD's (total) – than I do Jazz & Modern Rock combined. But I could easily dump half the classical discs I own and never even notice for years (or at least not miss them until the next seismic change in my tastes). I seem to have such seismic shifts in musical interests about once every 7 years or so (give or take). (I voted for Modern Rock in the poll, but I too would really enjoy having a Classical "sub-forum" around here.)

With greater and greater frequency over the past couple years, I find that I'm contributing LESS often (to jazz topics, or otherwise – including politics). But it's NOT for lack of interest. I'll get four or five sentences typed out, and suddenly realize that what I'm saying really isn't adding all that much to the discussion, and I'll back and not post anything at all. I know my "blind enthusiasm" for the music has gotten a little old for a few folks around here (you know who you are), and I think I'm finally just catching up with them. But the jury's still out, and I may yet regress.

Stunning admission time: I think the only Mariano recordings I own are the two or three Rabih Abou-Khalil dates he's on (which are all outstanding, by the way ). What other Mariano should I get next??

Reminds me of Denardo on "The Empty Foxhole" (or that concept, anyway, at least to some extent). And I don't particularly mean that as an insult to Denardo (nor to the bird either). In any case, I'm sure the bird is a WAY better musician thank Dookie.

CD or vinyl?

Moondance is really the one jumpin' out at me from the big list above. I've heard that covered quite a lot, especially back in my college days (circa early, early 90's). The main student jazz combo at the small liberal arts college I went to (in a town of only 35,000), used to play that one on almost every gig they had (including their regular Thursday night gig at a local bar -- the only regular live jazz in town, and for 50 miles in any direction). Other musicians would sit in, and the band would fuck with them big time by turning the tune into a polka, or a waltz, or some kind of ska thing -- sometimes all in the same performance. Whether or not they told the guy sitting in (before he began to solo), depended entirely on whether they liked him or not. Saw a good handful of players royally thrown by their radical shifts in style and meter, mid-tune, a la Frank Zappa. Quite a funny gag as best I recall, even week after week.

BTW, the tune I heard that really gave me the thought for this thread was "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" by Stevie Wonder. I don't even know if there have been enough jazz covers of it to qualify for this thread, but I certainly know Tyrone Washington's version.

Heard a couple tunes the other day on a Muzak-type thing in a restaurant, that got me thinking about jazz standards since about 1965 or so (plus or minus). More specifically, pop tunes that have become jazz standards, from tunes written after when The Beatles really took off, and pop music really changed more dramatically (and quickly) than in times past. (Pop music, and rock music too, for that matter. And Soul, and any other form of "popular"/"populist" music you can think of.) 1965 isn't a hard-cutoff date, but rather "mid-60's" is what I'm aiming for, but definitely well after the strongest influence of musical theater tunes (from "musicals"), or other similar styles that owe a greater degree of allegiance with styles and forms from the 50's. What would you include on, say, a "top 20" list of pop tunes that have become jazz standards, since about 1965 or so??

Me too! (I'll have to catch it from the archives.) I have all three of what I think are the most "world"-oriented of his leader dates (forget the titles, but isn't it 3 out of like 5 albums total?). Not every cut is 'out of the park', but quite a number on all three albums are REALLY interesting. WELL worth seeking out, IMHO.

Yeah, I heard this first thing this morning as well. Interesting the audience for this thing...

Paypal is great, but the one thing that really bugs me is that they only give you a $2,000 spending limit unless you give them your bank account info (including the codes for them to electronically dip into your account). To date, I have refused to give them my bank account info, and as a result - some 6 years after I first started with them -- I have spent all but the last $35 of my $2,000 spending limit. (Actually, this happened once before - probably 3 or 4 years ago. And after I got down around $75, one day my limit magically went back up to $2,000 again. I keep waiting for that to happen again, but it hasn't in over 6 months of waiting.) I suppose I could start a new account, but that would require using a new e-mail address, and I'm really not wanting to tie my Paypal account to my work e-mail address (nor do I want to start some hotmail account just for this either). Anybody know of any other workarounds?? Other than giving them my bank account info, of course, or is that my only option?? Am I being silly for not wanting to give that to them?? You can dispute credit card purchases, but I'm assuming it's much more difficult to dispute unauthorized bank account withdrawals if you've given somebody (some 'entity') permission to access your account. On the plus side, though, effectively not having Paypal has really helped reduce my eBay spending.
