So we gotta do this again-you rascal!!! .It's a pleasure doing buisness with you Stefan.

Luis Gasca.

Love the instrument.

Life's a card game. Believe me if I could afford it right now I would. Go for it!!!

AB good luck amigo!!!! Do what you gotta do and then come back ASAP.You'll be missed.

Just past the mid 60's Wes Montgomery and Jimmy Smith, Chico Hamilton,John Handy and Trane pretty much all at the same time.

Chris he most definitely was out of line when he pulled that stunt on Amazon.

I wasn't posting anywhere when Randy Oliver passed but if Big Al and Chris say he was a good dude then chances are he was a good dude. Count me as another person who is not a Hardbop fan. "Thin skinned" usually comes to mind when I think about Hardbop(and I try to avoid that every chance I get)and after reading Big Al's post "Lower Than Whale Shit in the Ocean" is right up there with it.

Happy Birthday!!!

RIP.

Hey King-ya gotta do what you gotta do!!!!

I just don't think they have many defenders on this board.

When I've thought of fusion someone like Mahavisnu or RTF but as some posters have already pointed out it's really more encompassing then that limited genre.

Limited Edition - they won't be around for long. No dont say that-NOOOOO!!!! AIEEEE!!!!!!

Dark Kit Kat bars-still not in Pagosa-arrghh!!!!

Freddie Webster like Fats Navarro died way too young. Who knows what kind of legacy they would have had if they had lived.

I think that will make Rachel's day Joe.

I knew it!!!

The other day I was listening to Estrellas de Areito - Los Heroes, from 1979, and Sandoval has some excellent solos. Thanks for the tip Pete.

Any relation to Jay North-I'm sorry I had to say that!!!

Kenny Dorham is not only a sorely underrated trumpet player but jazz composer as well. Very expressive and identifiable and the hero of many a young trumpet player that I've met throughout the years. Check out these compositions on a variety of Blue Note and other label CDs: Tahitian Suite La Villa Sao Paulo Lotus Blossom Sunrise in Mexico El Matador Escapade Speculate The Prophet Short Story Minor's Holiday Horn Salute Great stuff. Thanks for the info Marty.

When I said go North that's not exactly what I had in mind.

I'll be on the air for a broadcast remote tomorrow and afterwords engineering a recording session for a client. Sunday is up for grabs.

Thats a fair statement. The Messidor recordings were an extension of Cuba perhaps transitional. It was after he signed with GRP that he really started to go North.
