"Is the mullet historically accurate?"

Jeremy always conveniently forgot his shirt on "Photo shoot day".

For some reason, I think my newest Avatar is one that our own Jazz (and his evil clown!) might like.

Here's the full text of the Texas law, from www.dumblaws.com... If I'm reading the fine-print correctly, this law was ammended as recently as 1993 and again in 1994. Sheesh!!! Don't the police and courts in Texas have anything more important to do??????

from www.austinchronicle.com, back in August of 2000. By the way, I stumbled on this article when I did a Google search on "Georgia sex toys illegal", after I read in another thread (on another board) about the Texas illegal vibrator case, that sex toys were (supposedly) illegal in Georgia too. Seems to be the case, at least according to this article (and at least back about 3 years ago). This was the first search-hit I got from Google, and it turned out to be mostly about Texas laws.

I'm listening to that track right now (it's one of the sample tracks for this set, from the Mosaic site). It's OK, and certainly not any worse than "OK". But that incessant line in the piano just goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on. I mean, I like a good groove as much as the next guy - but this one ain't winnin' me over in as big as way as I was expecting. “Good”, maybe - but not “Great” in my book. (Just my own opinion, and there's lots of room for other opinions besides mine.)

I’ll tell you one date that was a bit of a disappointment to me... I recently borrowed a friend’s copy of the Moncur Select recently, and I was somewhat nonplussed by Jackie McLean’s “Hipnosis” session (which I was hearing for the very first time). I guess it wasn't a 'bad' session, really, but I was somehow hoping for more from it. It is the only date from the Moncur Select that I didn't already have on CD, and I now have to admit that getting the Moncur set specifically for that “Hipnosis” session, is no longer as big a priority for me. I'll probably get the set some day, eventually -- but if I didn’t, I wouldn't loose any sleep over it.

I don't think I've ever heard any Bach that I didn't like. I don't own a ton of Bach (maybe a dozen CD's or so, not more than 20 at most), but everything I've ever heard by Bach was OK in my book!!

Let's generate some interesting ideas for hypothetical "concept albums" for Organissimo to record. Ideas do NOT have to be plausible. Just thought this would be fun to do... I'll go first... An entire album of Wayne Shorter tunes, and make 'em burn!!! Heavy on the grease!!! Yesterday I was listening to a live version of Shorter's "Masqualero". (It was a version from Miles 2nd quintet, recorded early in 1969.) And with Chick on Fender, I couldn't help but wonder what an organ trio version would sound like. Perhaps a CD of all Wayne Shorter tunes would be best with a tenor player on it (plus the regular trio), and probably somebody fairly 'heavy', if you know what I mean. I know, I know - not likely something like this would ever happen. But it's fun to imagine such a beast, even if it never does materialize. So, what are some other interesting "concept" albums we can come up with for Organissimo??? Again, none of this has to be plausible.

YES!!!! This would be a good idea.

Busted for selling something as innocent as a vibrator. What is this country coming to??

This is crazy!! Aren't vibrators a guaranteed right in the constitution?? Maybe not in the original text, but I could have sworn I read that somewhere - maybe one of the lesser-known amendments?? All kidding aside, is this the best thing law enforcement has to do in Texas?? This, and prosecuting homosexuals for trying to get their groove on. I hope they take this 'vibrator' case all the way to the Supreme Court if they have to.

Much as I LOVE Woody Shaw, and especially his work with Tyrone Washington and Andrew Hill.... ....for some reason, I have never been able to connect very deeply with "Blackstone Legacy". (Which is really weird, cuz on paper - it should be something that would be right up my alley.) So, this should be an interesting AOTW. I'll be very curious to hear what others here think of it.

I saw the current DH quintet here in KC with Kilson back in March of 2001 (first time I had ever heard DH live), and heard them again about 8 or 10 months later in Columbia, MO. Both shows were among THE very best jazz shows I've ever seen in my entire life, especially the first one. Seriously, that first DH concert was every bit as good as the best sex I've ever had (and I say that not to dis my sex life, nor to dis Holland's group). And the feeling of adrenaline-induced euphoria after that concert was not unlike the time I bungee jumped back in 1992. Word!!

Thanks AB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go to Google, type in "couw", and hit "I'm Feeling Lucky!!" B)

Seems like one of the only chances that they'll ever see the light of day on CD. Hey, how's the cheapest way for me to score both of Eddie Gale's BN dates on CD - meaning these Water reissues??? Damn - I just checked Dusty Groove, figuring that they would be a good place to at least get a price to compare others with. Looks like they normally sell both of the Gale 'Water' reissues for only $12 each!!! That's quite a bit cheaper than I was expecting. Somehow I though Water was probably some import label, so I was expecting them to be priced at something like $18 ro $20 each. So, then I guess my question is moot, unless somebody's knows of a place selling them for less than $12. Thanks!!!

I'm quite sure Couw speaks better Texan than most of us here speak our own native English. But seriously, folks, I'm constantly amazed at Couw's ability to use so many English colloquialisms, and use then nearly always correctly. My hunch is that some of this comes from Couw's love of Frank Zappa, and some of his (Frank's) phraseology has seeped into John's cranium. Aside from Texan, Couw, how many languages do you speak and/or read??? Dutch, German, and English at least, and probably a whole 'nother one too, I reckon. Have a great day!!! And maybe I can ask AfricaBrass to help put together your present!! (see above, AB.)

#1 - St. Louis #2 - Chicago Nothing against Lansing, but the other two would be much easier and cheaper for me to get to (especially St. Louis).

Huh??????

Geez!!! It sold for $76!!!

I'll second that!! I had never thought of that song this way. That would be GREAT!!! YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please do consider doing this, or at least something like this. I think this disc definitely needs one organ-trio take on a modern pop tune of some sort, and "How Soon Is Now" would be FANTASTIC!!!!! Here's a link to a Smith's greatest hits album, with a sample of the tune (look for track #6 - "How Soon Is Now"): CLICK HERE You guys still down with doing the Smiths tune??? I'm good with any and/or all of the popular suggestions made in this thread, but I've got my heart set on hearing "How Soon Is Now" done up Organissimo style!!! B) Also, hopefully without being the least bit pushy about demanding more 'product' from you guys, may I ask what's the timetable on getting the "tribute" disc recorded, and out to your throng of devoted fans???
