I'll give a thumbs up for "The Inflated Tear" because it was the first Kirk album I owned but I liked "Bright Moments" and I'm in the process of trying to lay my hands on every Dorn reissue that I can. Man I love Rashaan -he was a beautiful cat.
Sure why not next year for the zonies.Lute Olson is a great coach and a helluva recruiter.No doubt he'll figure out pretty quicly what went wrong and fix it.
I saw the Byrds during the Gram Parsons era and needless to say a totally different group from their beginning. I enjoyed a lot of what they did and will probably revisit them sometime in the future. I agree with Tjazz about the Desert Rose Band but it seems just as they were taking their music to another level they broke up. David Crosby gets dissed a lot I know took some shots at him but in all due fairness to David, Roger McGuinn also comes across as a dipshit.
I'm not a hunter but if its done for food I don't have a problem with it.However I do not care for trophy hunters and I do not care for poachers unless they're faced with dire circumstances-like starvation. Poachers who hunt just for the rack are just about the lowest form of life there is.
Just about every period that Miles recorded in has something good in it but I do have a soft spot for this period maybe because I was growing up at about the same time the guitars were really getting cranked up. Don't worry about that dude(s) who dissed that period of Miles music he was probably a snotty and lazy music critic.
Mine are how should I say it - not organized. If I decided to take that task on I would handle it much like Jazzmoose. Damn Moose where did you find the time and could you imagine what it would be like if your collection was the size of Lon's for instance?
I just picked up some at the local market last night-a dollar got me four of them-but to be honest I don't think their dark chocolate. I'll have to be on the lookout for them becuase I love dark chocolate-Yow!!!!
I have'nt heard many jazz albums with strings-mostly Ogerman arrangements-but the ones that I have heard I've liked. Whether or not this concept works in any given case I think would depend as much on the arranger as it would in the group and the leader of a paticular date. I don't know if an arranger is faced with extra challenges within a jazz framework but if they are the ones that I have heard have responded very well and needless to say so have the groups and their leaders.
