  1. I just got a pair of the Etymotic ER6, with a set of adapters which allow them to be used with my earmolds from the same company. Not great bass response, but they will serve just fine for the use I intend: plane rides!
  2. I'd love to hear a review of this when you get back! Happy to oblige! Wonderful show. Long tunes; I think they did six total, three per set. Kahil is unique. Lots of vocalizing, and his whole body goes into creating hypnotic grooves that never falter, even after 20 minutes. And some strange grooves, too. I couldn't really get a handle on a couple of them in terms of how he was dividing up the measure. But they'd sit right there in the pocket the whole time, and when he'd deviate, as during a solo, invariably he'd come right back into them, as if by magic, afaic. Told some nice stories about Lester, Malachi, and others who have passed on. He bemoaned the "fools" in power making such poor decisions for the common good. Also sends his best to Chuck; I mentioned your name, and he brought up a session he did for Nessa Records some 20 years ago. Fareed's one of my favorites, and although he was late getting there, and fighting a cold, he played some brilliant stuff. I really liked some of the grooves he laid down in this bass-less quartet. Corey (whom I saw with Roscoe Mitchell last September) and Ernest added some excellent work as well. Highly recommeded! And they have a new album out on Delmark.
  3. With just a little notice I could have comped you.... Hmm....
  4. ETHNIC HERITAGE ENSEMBLE Corey Wilkes, trumpet Kahil El'Zabar, percussion & vocals Ernest Dawkins, sax Fareed Haque, guitar Should be interesting.
  5. A place on my shelf First Circle, and Rejoicing Conference of the Birds
  6. There's a ton of Julia Dollison clips on youtube, including a bunch with some really good Ben Monder guitar work.
  7. Can we at least agree that A# is the major third of F#, and that the Lydian scale contains an augmented 4th not a flatted 5th?
  8. Just throwing a name out: Rebecca Martin Could be way off base; I'm not familiar with the other singers mentioned here.
  9. Actually, the silhouette in that pic looks like some kind of a giant spear-wielding Christmas elf.
  10. Okay, Mr. "Tulips on my organ".
  11. But in the right hands it's a GIANT PENIS!!! Prince is going to ruin Ted Haggard's recovery.
  12. First you need to be able to sound indistinguishable from Joey DeFrancesco. Then you can throw out all your CDs.
  13. To Dan Gould and Peter Friedman, with Love. signed, Joe Zawinul. :rsmile:
  14. I'd point out that there are many famous jazz musicians whose music we love, but who most of us would not consider "nice" people. Also that maybe a certain amount of arrogance "comes with the territory" of creating something new. Of course, sometimes it's better to let the music do the talking.
  15. Had to call a wrecker for a jump, but we got it running.
  16. Maybe, but he's got the music to back it up, imo.
  17. -8 F here, and my car won't start.
  18. After a December and January that barely registered as "winter", we're in a deep freeze. Currently: 2 degrees.
  19. Took a while for this to open for me, but worth the wait. Very nice, thanks again, Jim!
  20. Just placed the order. $308 - yeesh! It will be here in time, though I'll have to cut it out myself.
  21. Yeah, aahh, no.
  22. That KISS coffin is the shit!
  23. I'll look into that tomorrow. I'm also checking into another possibility.
