I prefer to think of myself as a pimp. I offended Jim Alfredson's promo guy by calling him one. Tough shit. That's what we do. Minus the hat and cane, of course.

play it backwards.

Back on topic. :rsmile:

Bowing before something like a person, tree, statue, etc., is not one and the same as "worship". The Buddha, for instance, represents one's own innate capacity for enlightment; therefore, you are bowing to your own highest aspirations and/or Self. It's also an act of humility - something I'd say you're lacking here. "A man who bows down to nothing can never bear the burden of himself." - Dostoyevsky

I thought the reproductions of the score were important and (at the time) asked Roscoe for the samples. He agreed and you see the results. I still have the sheets. I was impressed by that as well.

I like it.

It's not all greazy!

Wonderful comments everyone. Thanks for taking the time.

though previously I thought of him as pretty exclusively a nylon-string player.

I recently got Hilary Hahn's newest from BMG; concerti by Shoenberg and Sibelius

Thank the Maker!

How about that!

$3.72 at the Admiral this morning.

Wow - thanks Quincy! That's exactly what we were going for.

Those Monk sides were my introduction to him, about 12 years ago--agree completely with you. JG had to be a badass to hold down a gig with Monk. Mine as well, then the live date with Wes Montgomery. I listened to those sides more times than I can count, and can easily recognize Johnny's playing anywhere.

Mercifully just a little footage of Al. Nice duet from the late 80's with Paco and John, though. I think they're playing "Spain". But the stuff with the singers is pretty incredible.

Don't want this to slip by unnoticed. There is some great music and interesting history/comments in there. Worth watching imo. I know there's like three of us reading this thread, but...

a movie about Paco de Lucia. What a badass.

RIP Mr. Beck.

As Seen On TV?

A reunited Quartet Out would be a good opener for this guy.

Make it mellow. Let it ooooze on out.
