  1. If I'm not wrong, the original album is what is on Disc #1, and all the bonus tracks make up Disc #2.
  2. Frankly, I liked the bonus material better than much of the original session. Traded it to Conn500 a month ago. What say you Conn500 - any reactions?? - since you're on a Three Sounds kick these days.
  3. You can turn off signatures in your personal settings, meaning that "Christiern" won't see anyone's signatures if you turn this feature off. Go into your personal settings, and under "options" click on "board settings". Then look for this question, and set it to "no" in the appropriate drop-down list: Do you wish to view members signatures when reading topics? POOF!!! - no more signatures... ===== Also looking forward to when things aren't all peachy, though I realize there are probably other priorities (like getting PFunkJazz in here). Keep up the GREAT work guys!!! We luv ya for it!!!
  4. Well, I gots PFunkJazz waiting in the wings, all ready to join in. But via an 'AAJ' PM he just said to me.... Don't know if this error is related to the recent board upgrade or not. Thought I'd post it here, and see if Use3D or b3-er could take a look at it. He's probably registered under the same name here - "PFunkJazz". Thanks in advance for looking into it!!
  5. Just saw that PFunkJazz is posting on AAJ, as of about a week ago (registered under the same name, "PFunkJazz"). :rsmile:
  6. Saw Spike Lee's "4 Little Girls" last night (for the first time) - an excellent documentary about the bombing of an all-Black church in Birmingham in 1963, in which four girls, ages 11 through 14, were killed. I had fully expected to hear John Coltrane's "Alabama" used in the soundtrack, and was not surprised when I did. And that got me thinking about other music written specifically in response to world-events (and in some cases, released to the public shortly after those events occured). The few that came to mind were... "Alabama" - written by John Coltrane - in response to the Birmingham church bombing of 1963. "Birmingham Sunday" - written by Richard Fariña, recorded by Joan Baez and first released in 1964. (It was also included in the Spike Lee documentary, and I had never heard it before tonight.) The lyrics are... "Ohio" - written by Neil Young, recorded with CSN&Y - in response to the Kent State killings of 1970. Lyrics... and maybe this one sort of qualifies too, kinda, though not entirely... "Kadish (Symphony No. 3)" - Leonard Bernstein - dedicated to the memory of John F. Kennedy, though the work was substantially written before the Kennedy assassination (or at least much of it was). If I remember right, this work was really in homage to Bernstein's father (who I believe had recently passed away), or at least that is how the work was begun. I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting - including probably several classical works in response to the Holocaust. I'm particularly interested in any other jazz-related recordings that somehow relate to world events, although any works (including non-jazz) would be interesting to hear about too. PS: What album did the studio version of Coltrane's "Alabama" first come out on??? I can't seem to find this on-line, and I'm ashamed to admit that my copy of "Alabama" is from the 3-CD retrospective of Trane's Impulse albums.
  7. I own (and still enjoy) nearly 80% of the recorded output of the 80's band "The Fixx".
  8. In case you missed it the first time, I said: HELP!!!! (mp3)
  9. HELP!!!! (mp3)
  10. If only they had met!!!!
  11. Yeah, about time for me to hit the hay too. Sweet dreams everybody...
  12. Whacha gonna do? - so we know what not to "flip out" about??
  13. I just had the same thing happen to me as Jim and others have described, complete with the double post after I hit the 'back' button, and resubmitted my post.
  14. How about our very own "Fist of Doom"??? Hey Use3D, what's your story??
  15. Edit: By the way, this is a static 'jpg', and is not animated.
  16. I traded some PM's with couw earlier today, with no problems. FYI.
