Smooth Jazz to me is an extension of mainstream pop music. All hooks and formula. The sizzle without the steak. Or better yet jazz for people who don't like jazz. I think Eddie Harris said it best when he said "Our music is not necessarily for your bumping and jawing our music is designed to make you think so if you aren't into thinking I thought I better warn you before we dropped that shit on you".

Is it true that all the T34 shock asorbers were purloined by the shock army?

I already had a bad cd habit when I came to this board and it's only made it worse.Organissimo,Dusty Groove,CD Universe-FIENDS!!!!! THE WHOLE LOT OF YOU!!!!

I saw mention of it while the USS Bluenote was sinking. I'm not the brightest guy on the planet but I do know that it's generally a good idea to vacate a sinking ship and that's what I did . I came over to Organissimo and it's the hangout of choice.

Ed had his reasons and they were well-personal. Ed if you're out there hope everything is ok.

Is there anybody coming up who could keep building on this momentum or has this influx of musicians slowed?

I am a conflicted man because I like both the Broncos and the Raiders. I also like the 49ers and I like my chances of seeing all three teams go into the dumper.

I'm thinking the middle of January. Don't discount the volume of posts during the elections, it's gonna be up there. Good point.

RT come out,come out wherever you are.

Sounds like fodder for a lot of future B movies.

Jazzmoose,Jazzmoose.

One of my dad's favorites. A true professional.RIP.

Now Bruce be nice. My guess is post 300,000 will arrive around Saint Patrick's Day.

I suppose that last explanation nailed it as good as any. How else can you explain such a dysfunctional aggregation staying together.

I have some old vinyl of Larry's that I must revisit sometime soon. I got turned on to Larry,Wes Montgomery and Jerry Hahn at roughly the same time. I've always liked Larry. He's had a lot of good collabarations. One in particular I want to check out is his work with Steve Marcus.

And many more.

Can't you get a neighbor or somebody to feed the hamsters so the wheel doesn't stop turning?

I'm another one who has a hard time believing that Rick James died of natural causes.

I promptly snagged the Allman Bros on the buy one get three free offer.

Ditto.

Oops!!!!

Well let's hope that Anita overcomes all this phony hype.

The studio system at the time obviously liked her enough to keep her very busy.She was a very productive actress but Kong gave her screen immortality. 96 years old-WOW!!!!! now that's quite a run.

Just remember Jesus saves but Moses invests. Who is this Revrend Gates dude anyway?

Singing the praises of a cd that has yet to be released is cheesy at best.
