jmjk-If you can find it check out Johnny Paycheck's "Me and the IRS". Rather timely this time of the year.

Jazzmoose don't you mean Michael Jordan? As for Kenny Drew I wonder how many of those newspaper guys were part of the "Blue Train" sessions?

Ow!

Hi! My name is Chris Olivarez and I'm a Dustygrooveaholic.I feel the strong urge to break wind.Thousands may die-aieeee!!!

In regards to the Oscar Ceremony my vote is with Mr.Moose . It's largely self serving crap anyway. As a rule of thumb I not a big fan of musicals as they are usually too corny,schmaltzy what have you for my tastes but this one deviates from the norm enough to make it entertaining and interesting.

Buddy Emmons did some good work with Danny Gatton.I wonder if the Verve recording is along the same lines?

I saw "Chicago" the other night.It deserved those academy awards.

Only if you send that snow to sw Colorado.

Is anybody here familiar with the group Charlie Hunter works with "Garage a Trois"-if so what are they like?

A Pez dispenser-yeah that's the ticket.

"The Waters of March" IMO is life condensed in less than four minutes. I just read where Gene Lees was at first appalled when Ogerman and Jobim first teamed up because Ogerman at the time did not have the best reputation.Doing arrangements for Lesley Gore and others did not endear Ogerman to the jazz community but when the actual results came out a lot of minds were changed including Lees. "Terra Brasilis" is marvelous and I would like to cast a vote for "Urubu". Hell,for that matter I'd like to cast my vote for just about everything that Jobim did.Jobim was,is and forever shall be amazing.

That "Money Jungle" cover cracks me up though I'm getting this mental image of Max,Mingus and Duke royally kicking G's ass.

Coltrane at the Villiage Vanguard, Duke Ellington at Newport ,Max Roach and Clifford Brown,those sessions with Art Blakey,Clifford Brown,Horace Silver and Lou Donaldson,Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie,Horace Silver at the Villiage gate with Junior Cook and Blue Mitchell and I'll probably think of more later.

Jazzmoose- I concur. 2400.00 that's insane!!!

I have a friend who used to have two dogs named Ornette and Carmen.

Big Al- I really don't think Zappa was trying to be"hipper than thou". I really think that whatever stances he took whether it was on the hippies,LBJ,Vietnam,the Police or whatever-were just how he felt about a paticular situation. I suppose you could make a case about some of his music being pretentious and boring but any musician of ability and especially one that recorded as extensively as Zappa runs the risk of winding up like Icarus. Mike Nesmith was the only musician per se with the Monkees and I think he wanted to put some distance between himself and a bubblegum image and what better way to do it than to be associated with Zappa.Nesmith used Zappa but not in a cynical way.It came across as a "let's mess with the teenyboppers and have some fun" kind of deal and I loved it. Frank Zappa,however you feel about him,was a one of a kind individual and I miss him.

A future purchase.Thanks Big Al!

The Horror! The Horror!

Blues,the various Louisiana styles,roots rock are primary choices but if an artist(s) sounds good to me that are outside of those boundaries I'll listen to them too.

couw-thanks! Yeah Frank wasn't exactly the best looking dude but his guitar playing,bands and overall genius kicked major booty over a lot of pretty boys and girls.

Didn't Ogerman arrange Wes Montgomery's "Tequila" and if so was it any better?

couw-that is cool.Do you have the one with the grinning guy shaving with the weasel?

danasgoodstuff-the album/cd in question is "Weasles Ripped My Flesh". The cover work for the album/cd is something else too.

Sica- Welcome and it's good to know that younger people are into this music.

Parkertown- Likewise good to see you on this board. Pagosa Springs got more rain than snow out of this last storm.I'm glad the front range got the moisture though the commute must have been a major pain.
