Steve Reich: "Different Trains / Electric Counterpoint" (Elektra/Nonesuch, 1989)

Got mine used several years ago, for about $45 as I recall, maybe even closer to $40. I was in an otherwise crappy used-CD store in Davenport Iowa, and there it was.

Night all!!! And sleep well everybody.... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz............ -_-

"Free For All", you need an Avatar my friend. Get on it!!!

100% agreement. All of Joe's leader dates for BN are stunning.

"Inner Urge" is a close second for me, just behind "Mode For Joe". Simply stunning, in all respects. The three Henderson tunes are amazing, and everyone is playing right at the top of their game. Put it this way, I think "Inner Urge" is every bit as good as any and all of Wayne Shorter's "sax plus piano trio" recordings on BN in the 60's, and it don't get any better than that!!

Hey, when it's something this important, I'm here and on the case!!! SS, let's put it this way: You skip this one on Tuesday, and you're banned from the board. Simple as that!!

How to put this delicately... OMFG!!!!!!! "Mode for Joe" is THE Joe Henderson album to get, of all time. You need to start camping out right now, right outside on the steps of your favorite shiny-disc emporium, so you can be the very first one in line to get "Mode For Joe" when the store first opens, when it comes out on Tuesday. It is TOTALLY "the shit", in the very best sense of the word. Do not hesitate, not even for half a nanosecond, to pick this one up. In my book, "Mode For Joe" is probably one of the 10 best Blue Note albums ever released. B) :rsmile:

Le fartage

Well, I guess I haven't listened closely enough to hear any between-songs stage-talk. I've only had the disc since Monday, and I think I've listened to it twice.

I've heard a few complaints about the sound-quality on the new Moran, but frankly, I haven't noticed all that much. But then again, I have some pretty low-end stereo equipment (a cheap boombox, and a nice but relatively inexpensive bookshelf system). Maybe on a real high-end system the SQ might be more of an issue.

There's always this on at half.com for only $132.32 - LINK.

Anybody know of any Andrew Hill books in the works?? I know, probably too obscure to merit a whole book. But still, I think it'd be an interesting read, especially if Andrew contributed to fill in all those years he was doing things like teaching, playing in prisons, and even being a church musican. Not a 1,000 page tome, mind you - but something as least as meaty as some of the Da Capo books I have, like the ones on Dolphy and Dexter Gordon, for instance.

I was just lookin' for these two forums (below), and BAM! -- there it was -- a redskin Political forum page, stairin' me right in the face!!!! Cool idea, by the way - having the political forums have their own "red" skin. Would really help people remember that that part of the board can really be it's very own animal.

OK, found it at half.com, you gotta search for "Miles Davis Complete". Cheapest one (and it happens to be still sealed) is $84 plus $2.50 S&H for a total of $86.50. So, the question is this... Is "disc 1" worth between $28 and $36 to you???? (Cuz that's the difference between $50 and "the going market rate".) Or does anybody else know of any cheaper??? Or better yet, any stray 'disc 1' PN CD's needing good homes!!

Judging from the closed auctions on eBay, the cheapest one that sold on eBay recently went for $74 plus $4 S&H, for a total of $78. Oddly enough, there are none at half.com right now, which I can't believe (but maybe I'm not doing the search right, or it's listed funny). So, then, the question is weather you can find a "disc 1" of the PN set for anything like $10 or so, which seems like a fairly decent possibility. There's a "disc 7" on eBay right now, so these things do turn up for time to time. For $50, I'd sure think about getting it. Maybe make them an offer of $40, and see if the meet you in the middle at $45?? Just a another idea. Also, I'm sure somebody here could burn you a copy of the first disc - so it's not like you'd be without the music. Also, if you do buy it - put out the word here that you're lookin' for a 'disc 1' of the PN set, so we can grab one for you if we see it floating around sometime. Hell, anybody here know of any loose PN discs currently for sale anywhere???

Anybody heard any of the promos of this that are already on the street?? I've seen 'em on eBay, but wanna wait for the real deal. Still, I'd be curious to hear some early impressions of the unreleased material.

Sound great!!! What time's dinner?? I can be over to your place in about 5 minutes.

he-he-larious!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LINK that works Damn, that's a ton of $cratch for an old LP!!!!

Wow, what a great idea!!! I'd love to take that ball and run with it in my area, but I wouldn't know even where to start??? But I do personally know a few dozen of the best "younger" or more "creative" musicians in this area (jazz and classical), so I guess that's at least something. What escapes me is how best to go about promoting stuff, because it seems like nobody in this town (Kansas City) really knows how to promote anything -- or at least such that some people actually turn out. Everything really "happening" locally is known mostly from grass-roots efforts, word-of-mouth, and the like. I wonder where the people are that are the target audience for real live jazz, and how to get them out the door in the the club/venue where the stuffs happening. How do you create enough 'buzz' about important local music, to get some butts off the couch?? For instance, we have an incredible world-class music conservatory here in Kansas City (at UMKC, with Bobby Watson at the helm), and I'd think that there'd be a potential audience to be had there (with at least some of the students there) - but I rarely see any fliers up there (on campus) advertising significant local jazz shows, or even national act shows (for that matter). Then again, without a "name" artist, I'm not sure that many people would ever come out for anything they didn't already know about first. Quite a puzzle. And I know a few guys in town who spend $4,000-$6,000 on new stereo equipment (every 5 years), and probably $2,000-$3,000 per year on recordings (including plenty of expensive Japanese imports), and they go to only like 6 or 8 live jazz shows per year, most of which are "bigger names" passing through town. Not necessarily just "huge" names, but even lesser known guys, like a "Greg Tardy", for example. But I almost NEVER see any of these same guys, at any of the more happenin' things going on, made up of exclusively local cats. I just don't get it. SACD's be damned, some of that money (that $3,000 per year in high-end music and/or equipment) could be going to the local jazz food-chain, the way I see it. What does it take?? Personal phone calls to specific people saying "hey, this act really is something worth seeing, you'd better not miss it"???

Which reminds me - does anyone remember back on the BNBB, when Bo would change the color-schemes occasionally, to some really WILD ( ) rainbow-like colors!!! Man, it was like we were all having a collective acid trip or somethin'...

Wow, what's this?????????? Link: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...p?&showforum=17 A taste of the future, perhaps??? Cool!!!!!

Can't wait!!!!! Jack Johnson is one of my alltime favorite Miles albums, and for years I specifically tried to find other Miles tracks that were clearly similar to side one of the Jack Johnson album. "Go Ahead John", "Duran" and "Willie Nelson" come to mind, especially. Man, I can't wait to hear the unreleased material!!
