Same here. Not a big deal, just an "FYI"...

I'm dreaming about Andrew Hill's "Passing Ships" right now!!! B)

Dusty Groove has these for sale, usually, on one CD (but they're currently out of stock). You can sign-up to be e-mailed when they get it back in... http://www.dustygroove.com/index.htm - and do a search on "Eddie Henderson". Careful, they have it on LP too - and if you want the CD, be sure you're looking at the right thing. Eddie Henderson -- Anthology Vol 2 -- The Capricorn Years: Realization/Inside Out . . . CD . . . $15.99 Soul Brother (UK), 1973 Condition: New Copy Temporarily Out Of Stock. (This item is temporarily out of stock. Fill in your email address and hit the 'Send Request' button to receive an email notice if the item comes back in.) Email address: Massive work from Eddie Henderson -- 2 spaced-out jazz classics that put him right up there with Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock for pure 70s genius! The set kicks off with the very cosmic Realization -- a tripped-out set with Herbie on keyboards, Pat Gleeson on Arp and moog, Bennie Maupin on reeds, Buster Williams on bass, and Lenny White on drums -- all grooving together in a style that's some elements of Herbie's work of the time, especially his later sides for Warner Brothers. The blend of players is magnificent -- and produces a really righteous sound that's picked up nicely by the album Inside Out, recorded slightly later in the same year. That set also features Maupin, Hancock, Gleeson, and Williams -- plus Billy Hart on drums and Bill Summers on percussion. Together, the albums represent one of the most fruitful periods in Eddie Henderson's career -- a freewheeling soul jazz era that was never to be duplicated on later albums! Titles include "Moussaka", "Anua", "Spiritual Awakening", "Mars In Libra", "Dreams", and "Inside Out".

OK, there's a million album covers out there, by thousands of cats, but I'm curious to see some I've never seen before, by some really core jazz artists, you know - the ones that we all think we've already seen everything by. Here's one - yeah, it's a boot, but it's still a cool cover. Plus, there's a little bit of ring-wear visible, so this was a vinyl boot - which makes it way-cooler than some modern CD-boot cover. So, then, the ground rules are that the album cover has to be very cool, and very obscure, but by a well-known leader. (Actual covers from the LP-era are prefered over CD-only releases from the modern age.) For instance, I'm guessing there are some cool Japanese-only alternate covers (for things also released here, but with more familiar covers), that might well qualify for this thread. Put your thinking caps on...

Only because the poll asked who was the "most influential & innovative", I had to vote for Coltrane. But Joe Henderson is my favorite of the bunch, by a long-shot, and it was very hard not to vote for him in this poll -- but I have to give props to Trane.

Well, "The Kicker" has been obtained for 'couw' (in Germany), via a three-way trade for the Organissimo CD, which I will be sending to 'rockefeller center' in Austria. And 'Big Al' has an extra copy of "Solid" which I an negotiating a trade for even as we speak (hopefully I'll have a disc he'll want in trade). So, does anybody have an extra "Africaine" to spare???

My wife and I have been watching this as well, since it first started. We haven't watched every minute of every episode, but it's been on in the room every time it's shown (I think there have been 4 episodes total). Fun show. The main blond 'fashion' guy (he seems kind of like the leader of "The Fab Five"), is pretty annoying at times. NOT because he's so flamboyant, but just cuz he runs his mouth 24/7 -- but then what drama-queens (of any gender) don't talk constantly. My wife and I are both introverts (her a little more so than me), so people who are THAT extroverted almost always start to get on our nerves eventually. (And the flamboyant blond guy annoys me far less than your stereotypical straight but extroverted “used-car-salesmen” type, any day.) My wife and I have various friends that are gay (and some that are lesbian too), so it's been interesting to see the show on a number of levels. I agree that it mostly plays to stereotypes, and all the straight guys on the show end up looking like they're from West Hollywood or something (particularly the apartment make-overs). Still, there's a little bit of real drama, like the first guy who was having his first real "gallery opening"/"big-time art show", which was cool. And last night's guy proposed to his girlfriend of two years, which was sweet. But then last week's guy wanted his girlfriend to move in with him, and we just thought she was a real bitch (a term I seldom use when describing women, I might add - but this gal really was one). Fun show, and different. Also, I gather there's a gay version of "The Bachelor" on right before "Queer Eye" - with the twist that some of the potential matches are actually straight guys pretending to be gay. We only saw the last 2 minutes of it last night, and it looked like a trippy show. Might try to catch it next week, maybe.

Hey b3-er!! - if I end up buying 6 of your CD's, for people in Kansas City and the far reaches of the world (and becoming essentially my own mini-distributorship), does that absolve me of all guilt for having waited this long to buy your disc in the first place??

This deal is up to 4 CD's total, so far. So, I only need two more CD's to sell to people in Kansas City area -- or through one of these bizzaar international two-way and/or three-way trades ( ), and we can get free shipping - at least for the part from CDBaby to Kansas City. And I may just go ahead and order the other two (for a total of six, for free shipping), with the expectation that I can somehow find happy homes for them sometime in the future. Who knows, we may pick up some other Kansas City people in the future - and that way they could buy the disc, brand new, for only $12.59, with no tax and no shipping charges.

Just bumping this up again for any other Kansas City folk.

My wife and I thought about the pros and cons of disposable vs. cloth diapers -- carefully weighing all the factors: water usage vs. landfill space. We did a great deal of research on the entire issue. And in the end, we felt that by far the best solution, at least for us, was to not have any kids at all.

http://www.decopix.com I wasn't looking for it specifically. Just a general "Art Deco Architecture" site, with a bunch of cool pictures. I liked the picture of Bloom High School, and that's the only reason I posted it here (and thanks for mentioning where it is, in Chicago Heights, as the sit didn't give a specific city).

This is the official Organissimo "Historic-Architecture" thread. There's a ton of cool stuff out there on the web, and in real life too (especially!!!) -- and I'm betting I'm not the only historic architecture buff in this crowd. I'll post some of my favorites in the coming hours and days, but here are a few random ones that I just stumbled on today... Merchant's Bank of Winona (1911) Winona, Minnesota Woodbury County Courthouse (the largest 'Prairie Style' building in the world) Sioux City, Iowa Bloom High School, Illinois Hecht Company warehouse, Washington D.C. Apartment building, Havana, Cuba OK, enough for now. I'll post more later. What are your favorite works of Architecture??? Particularly those that are really unique in some aesthetic way.

Airport screeners perform sea cow scan Tuesday, July 29, 2003 Posted: 2:33 PM EDT (1833 GMT) SARASOTA, Florida (AP) -- Airport security workers went underwater to perform a sea cow security scan. When a manatee failed to pass a metal capsule it swallowed for a study, security workers from Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport hauled a metal detector and drove to Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium. Wearing wet suits and wrapping the detector in a plastic bag, they scanned Buffett's 1,800-pound body for a metal device about the size of a penny -- and found it. "It's the last thing I ever, ever dreamed of doing in this job," security screener Chris Kelleher said. The 16-year-old sea cow was the subject of a study to discover how manatees regulate their body heat. On July 1, Buffett swallowed a metal capsule that contained a microchip designed to measure the temperature in his gut. Researchers expected Buffett to pass the capsule in six to 11 days. When the manatee failed to deliver after 10 days, Mote researchers started to worry. Deborah Colbert, a manatee expert at the lab, contacted the Transportation Security Administration at the airport. The TSA agreed to help. Initially, workers tried to wave the metal detector over Buffett from the side of his tank. But the wand kept picking up signals from the metal in the concrete walls, so they donned wet suits, put the wand in a plastic bag and slid into the tank with the manatee. When they scanned the manatee's body, they discovered that the metal capsule was still inside. "As usual," said Frank Capello, the airport's federal security director, "we always get our man."

"Playing" is my favorite of the four "Old and New Dreams" releases. (At least I think there were four, last time I checked.)

I see "The Kicker" quite often - and to my mind, it was just released 'yesterday', meaning it's still quite a new title. "Solid" is quite a bit older, but I still see it in the bins too, quite often.

Hey couw, I'm gonna let you take up trading directly with "rockefeller center", since he's in Austria, and you're in Germany (and I'm in the U.S.). Or, if you guys can't work something out, maybe I could send something to him from the U.S. (to "rockefeller center"), and then he could send you "The Kicker" directly from Austria, and then that could count as credit towards our other trade. Ouch - my brain hurts just thinking about how complicated THAT starts to make all of this... Although, as long as all parties are happy - I'm all for it. I did a three-way trade (wanna be clear about that - it was a CD trade!!) only once before. One of the parties was in Hong Kong, and they never mentioned that I was going to get the CD they were trading to me, from some guy in Columbia, MO (which is like 2 hours east of Kansas City). I had no idea it was really a three-way trade until after I had already sent the discs to Honk Kong. It all worked out OK in the end - but it was pretty weird, not knowing the whole deal up-front.

'couw' is eluding to the fact that he's in Germany, and I'm gonna buy the Organissimo disc for him (along with the other Kansas City folks), along with three Conns that are OOP (but still easy to find in the U.S.) - and send them to him all at one time, plus who knows what else. And then he's gonna buy some stuff for me from the Ensemble Modern site (the kick-ass chamber orchestra from Frankfurt, that specializes in 20th Century composers), plus throw in some CDR's for me, and who knows what else. I've long wanted some stuff from the EM site (particularly their recording of Charles Ives' 4th Symphony), but I've never wanted to deal with the currency issues enough to try to buy from them directly, and their site (at least the last time I looked) never made purchasing from the U.S. very easy. Anyway, yes - this is a rather crazy deal.

Well, then, unless somebody pops up here with some duplicates to offer in trade (within the next 12 hours - by 11pm tonight, Central Daylight Time, U.S.), I guess I'll go ahead and pull the trigger on them from half.com. Two are from the same seller, so there's even a little to be saved in combined shipping. Thanks!! -- Rooster T.

I'm workin' on a deal to send several discs (including a brand new Organissimo disc!!! - from the multiple-disc order I'm planning to make for Kansas City folks) to one of our fellow board members in Germany... ...our own beloved 'couw', i.e. ). And while I'm at it, I asked him if there was anything in particular he was looking for that would be easier to find here in the U.S., than over there. He said these three Conns -- Grant Green's "Solid", Bobby Hutcherson's "The Kicker", & Art Blakey's "Africaine" -- were all OOP over there, and could I perhaps track them down here in the U.S. - which he'd be most appreciative of. I immediately checked several on-line sources, and the cheapest I've found (so far) is half.com, where I can pretty much get all three of these discs for about $12 each (which includes postage to me in Kansas City). (Specifically: $12 each for "Solid" and "Kicker", and $13 for "Africaine" - all prices include postage) 1. Anybody know of any on-line sources that have any better deals on any of these three titles?? (Total price, domestic postage included.) 2. Anybody here personally have any extra copies of any of these three titles??? (I've got a couple dozen discs to offer in trade.) Thanks!!!

yuo9plpook?? exactly my sentiments yuo9plpook?? ywr8knroot!!!!!!!!!!!!
