Joe G

FWIW, she seemed attractive, sweet, down-home, and ladylike in person.

Haven't heard the album but we caught her show in Florida last October. A very moving and powerful singer. I expect good things from her in the future.

Right on. Good to hear that everything is well, and that you're inspired, as Jim said.

Thanks for the info! I'm going to check out that site later when I have some time.

Chuck! I had no idea!

PM'd you.

I still have not received a burn of that tune. Do you have a copy you could send us? (I didn't have time to check out that link.)

Of course, the ultimate treatment of This Could Be the Start of Something can be found on Grant Green's I Want To Hold Your Hand.

Thanks guys. I'll be on the lookout.

I'm sure he'd be delighted to know that we think that about him.

Thanks guys. I just bought an Electric BeBop Band cd from MartyJazz on that other thread, but it hasn't arrived yet, and I don't know what the lineup is. The only Watt album I've heard is Real Book, after I bought it for a friend. I remember it being quite good, and what a cool concept, with the charts for the tunes included. A drummer I met once told me about some quartet albums that Steve did with Jim Hall -- does anyone know about this?

I've only got a few Scofield albums with Steve in my collection. I find his soloing to be quite fascinating, and wish to hear more of it, as well as some good examples of his compostional approach. So, lay it on me; what do you recommend?

Yep. She's all that. B)

Sangrey (the Master), Rooster Tom (for classical), Free For All (musician insider stuff) and honorable mentions to just about everyone else. Drinks for all my friends! And big thank you's go to Rockafeller Center and Rachel for the CD-Rs. Edit: Had to add Trumpet Guy for sending me a copy of his cd as well!

Looks like I've got some leverage for the next time we have one of those "artistic differences".

BTW, is this the Pink? The "I'mcomin'outsoyoubettergetthispartystarted" Pink?

SURELY NOT??? Bigotry takes so much time, especially if we're going to consult a list. I'm too lazy to do that. You ask too much!!!!! I ask nothing of you, Patricia. I'm merely sharing resources with my fellow board members. BTW, "dittohead" refers to followers of Rush Limbaugh.

But wait, there's more!

What about us granola crunchers?

Charlie Hunter does this, too. I was thinking it was creating more publishing royalties... They don't do much for me either.

Yearly is far too long of a timeframe for me. I need to make daily resolutions! Hourly, even. Maybe, just maybe, I can stay focused on something good and beneficial for an hour today...

Just encountered this on a Weather Report cd I bought just before Christmas. It's so bad that when I pick the case up from the top of a stack, the cd beneath it comes with.

I've got two accounts as well. I think I was already in the jazz club, then they sent me an entry offer to the classical side. I don't know how they manage to stay in business with stunts like that, but hey, might as well go for it!

Excellent!

A wonderful sentiment. Holiday Cheers to you too, Johnny!
