Seems so ... but if it bothers you really, you maybe ought to take a stand against moronity such as that New Yorker piece, instead of proclaiming an anything goes and no one was hurt attitude. Just think about it for a second.

no one hotter than the Spanish teacher

Granted - but I think Jim made some good points why this isn't just your harmless attempt at humour. At least not to everybody, obvsiouly. Sonny already found out (but that may have been reported in the other thread dealing with this bull).

Indeed, that was immediately clear to me, too. At least this time the author isn't anonymous (like in the moronic "Sonny Rollins" piece), but this personal attack is very bad style.

That, alas, is not how it works (and not how it worked after Norah's debut had filled BN's pockets).

Crazy weather all of July and continuing ... sun and rain within minutes, hot and humid to pretty cool within hours ... if anyone needs any more proof of climate change, there it is - whole year was weird already - no winter at all (I don't think it was ever below freezing for a whole day), summer was probably what he had in June, but it was way too warm in March already.

wtf indeed - and definitely not funny

got that CD from brownie once - pretty good indeed

That link leads to a "page not available" thingie ... care to quote if you can access it? German Wiki offers July 7 as date of death, linking this as source: http://obituaries.braggfuneralhome.com/mr-francis-frankie-dunlop-obituary/ I just clicked on it and it went right to Nasar's Facebook page. He's a great drummer, also. Weird, I get nowhere still, just that error page ("This content is currently unavailable"). Playing some Monk w/Dunlop right now ... love this! When I first hear this stuff (most notably "Monk's Dream"), it immediately dawned on me that the Columbia Monk naysayers might have some things wrong. Okay, the routine and all - but as long as Dunlop was behind the kit, there was always enough going on for me! (edited for crappy typing)

Well no, if you stick to one recording, it's one interpretation you can learn to love and understand.

Thanks for clarifying. I've not played her debut for a long time, but I found it likeable enough ... warm sound, nice voice ... but ultimately also the kind of music that's not hurting anyone. Will get an earful of this trio. I stumbled over the cover (or maybe even that photo w/hats, I dimly remember something like that), but didn't even notice NoJo was on it. Also, Monk's phrasing was of course spot on most of the time ... apples and oranges (and different leagues, too, I'd assume).

Not even sure I ever heard her doing jazz ... what would that have been? Do you include the first album as "jazz"?

Can't buy this one then, as I can't compare each work it contains with seventeen other versions.

My favourite Monk drummer, too! Maybe David can disclose his source?

Funny - but yeah, sure Hendrix knew better from his early days. I don't care much what someone's wearing when the entire picture fits. Randy Weston in wide African clothes can look as nice as someone who knows how to wear a suit. And no, all those smartass conservative young jazzers wearing them don't necessarily make a better impression on me than ... oh, wait, poor Tony Malaby Seriouslsy, it's the whole that counts. Also, that "suit as sign of male power" thing* can and pretty often does give the creeps - and sometimes the urge to not stick my shirt into the trousers - *) weapons are even worse of course, I loathe metaphorical usage of war expressions - though they've crept so far into daily language usage, it's really hard to omit them

http://www.nola.com/music/index.ssf/2014/07/idris_muhammad_legendary_new_o.html this is one I always loved very much:

today, some of this: and late last night, I cracked this one open: discs 1 and 2 so far, guess I'll continue with it in the next days/weeks

Sad news indeed! Caught him live but once, back when Ahmad Jamal toured with his trio (Idris and Cammack) and George Coleman - great night that I'll always remember fondly!

Oh, wow, look, I'm really not picking a fight - I'm a newbie and I do try to articulate my likes and dislikes on music every now and then (but more so on other than this board, after all it IS difficult to talk about music, even more so in a language that isn't my own). I did indeed read that thread and I know there's *more*, but there's little specific on Perahia, and that's all i was asking about, really. So that's that and I'm outta this discussion again, I guess ...

Okay, now I feel asinine for insisting - I've obviously read that thread ... if all there is is Perahia is too soft and sweetening and stuff, well, that's it.

Art liked the sensation of the fabric rubbing his nipples.

for the turd, blame the CD reissue producers (who destroyed many a glossy Pablo cover with their silly colouration):
