Does it still look like that? It has looked fine for me anytime I see it.... Yup, still looks like the "triopod" thing... You might try saving the image on your hard-drive first, and then upload it to the "Avatar setting" page on the board. At least that's what I've done with a few static images. No idea if this would work with an animated picture?? Good luck!!

I answered your same topic at AAJ, but let me add that I loved "The Infinite", and think it is one of Douglas' finest records, among many. "The Infinite" has a definite "Miles in 1968" feel to it. Unless the concert is quite far away, or quite expensive --- I'd definitely go...

I noticed that only after I had already created and submitted the poll, and there's no way to go back and edit. I looked at the Lee Morgan on-line discography, and worked backwards from the Earland. Then when I started hitting the people Lee recorded with really often, like Jackie McLean, and Hank Mobley, I thought... "well, that's it". Oh well, the poll/subject does say "late 60's", and his Moncur work was early 60's.

Hmmm.... What interview? Did he mention anything specific about the "Mother Ship" session?? (How did it come up?) And, you know -- I have definitely noticed similarities between "Mother Ship" and "Bitches Brew" before. And, "Mother Ship" was recorded in February 1969, and "Bitches Brew" in August 1969. And Larry Young was on one of the "Bitches Brew" sessions of Aug. 19-21, 1969, although he's only on the Aug. 21st date (on "Spanish Key" and "Pharaoh's Dance"). There are aspects of Lee's playing that certainly remind me a whole bunch of Miles in 1969 and beyond. (Can't cite specfic licks off the top of my head, but I'll give "Mother Ship" a spin this week and see which ones pop out at me.) Also, I think Eddie Gladden has some 'mad fills', particularly the ones that are almost "machine gun"-like, that remind me of DeJohnette. Gladden is not as controlled player as Dejohnette, but I think there are some other similarities between the two. Who's influencing whom, here, would certainly be an interesting topic to pursue. B)

It was a hard choice between Larry Young, and Andrew Hill. Went with Larry Young, cuz there's almost twice as much Lee Morgan with Hill available. And there's nothing I've ever heard, quite like Lee's playing on "Mother Ship".

I'm sure you must mean "Blackjack". (I think I've jumbled those two titles a time or two myself.)

Please answer the poll, and say why you chose what you did, and if you have any strong liking for any of the other titles. Also, as a side note - I'm particularly interested in hearing about these 5 dates (below), which I'm not at all familiar with... Charles Earland: "Intensity" Bobbi Humphrey: "Flute In" Harold Mabern: "Greasy Kid Stuff" Lonnie Smith: "Turning Point" Jack Wilson: "Easterly Winds" As a question separate from the poll, which of these five dates are "must have" recordings, for fans of Lee Morgan's later work??? Which one(s) should I buy first?? Thanks!!! PS: Here's a link (below) to what is probably a pretty darn complete Lee Morgan discography/sessionography, with sidemen and all the particulars for each of these albums, listed in the poll above... Disco: http://www.fsinet.or.jp/~lee/lee/leedisco.htm Main page: http://www.fsinet.or.jp/~lee/lee/leemorgn.htm

Not sure if these qualify, strictly speaking, but two "slow" Coltrane tunes that get me every time are... Naima (of course), and the slow intro/outro to "Alabama" - the latter almost being like a prayer.

BLOG?? I thought you said BLOCKHEAD!!!

I'd be curious to hear the reason(s) why jury duty was so stressful for you, Chris. I don't ask to make any kind of judgement about your reasons - they're your reasons, and I won't second-guess them one bit. I'm just wondering if there was something specific about your experiences that I hadn't ever thought of in conjunction with serving on a jury. Genuine interest is my only reason for asking. ("No comment" is a perfectly valid answer, however, if you'd rather not go into it.)

( Maybe I should clarify that "Joel and the cats" was just a found image, when I keyed "Birthday" into the Google Image search engine. That ain't me in the picture.... )

I agree completely. That's why I really wanted to pick it, but it didn't sound like very many people owned it yet. But it'll still be very high on my list of choices for the next time I get to pick the "Album of the Week" (if I'm ever so lucky).

Thanks to all for the suggestions!!! Thanks also, Johnny, for mentioning the Indian restaurant. I completely forgot that Indian is one of our newest "ethnic food" interests. We only just had Indian food for the first time, on our Honeymoon, about 2 years ago - in London and Glasgow. Supposedly Glasgow, Scottland is "The Curry Capital of Europe" Who'da thunk that!!! Thanks again for all the great suggestions!!!!!!

Is this a BLOG?? http://davebarry.blogspot.com/

I listened to the Morgan/Maupin session from Hill's "LEV" again last night, and I think this is some of the most interesting Lee Morgan playing on record, right up there with Larry Young's "Mother Ship". Man, Lee was so amazing in those 'progressive' contexts.

To each their own, but I think I'm every bit as interested in Blue Note as before. I don't equate the actions of a few, with the music recorded 30+ years ago. And, I can't help but be enthusiastic about Greg Osby, Jason Moran, and maybe a few other artists on BN's current roster. And I certainly don't think Mosaic had/has any influence on the BNBB situation. I haven't been buying cuz money's tight at the moment, but in the next year to two, I fully plan to buy most of the Mosaic Select titles, along with a few other BN Mosaic sets that I haven't picked up yet (Byrd/Adams and Turrentine sets). Yeah, somebody fucked up when it came to the BNBB, but that doesn't affect my opinion of the music.

My guess is that with all the Ornette on record, that it won't totally die away, never completely. There will be a few students who are captivated by Ornette's music and concepts, who will embrace his language, if only by using all of his recorded output as examples of what the language is. In that respect, I guess I'm glad there's so damn much Ornette on record. He's one who could have easily not taken the world by storm, and it's not too hard to imagine a world with only a handful of Ornette albums, not unlike Jimmy Woods, or Tyrone Washington, or probably plenty of other somewhat visionary jazz players who (for whatever reasons) just didn't get to record as much. Same thing goes with Sun Ra...

Stupid question. What's a BLOG?? Is it an acronym for something?? I only just saw a reference to "BLOG" recently, for the first time, as in something related to some reporter in Iraq. Still didn't quite get what "BLOG" was referring too. Thanks!!
