Joe G

I like a cold meatloaf sammich the next day.

Knock 'em dead tonight!

Haven't heard of him before this, but he sounds like somebody I'd like. Do you have any favorite albums, John?

Jim - when did you grow a mustache?

Thank you for the kind words!

Easy to see where Tom's head is these days. :rsmile: Funny, though the title of the first book you posted in this thread came to me just yesterday, for some unknown reason (haven't read it either).

Yes - thank you!

I gave the two pieces a listen, but I don't have the imagination to hear them played by a typical jazz combo. Wild stuff - to my ears!

I noticed in the six-string demo that the guy was playing it pretty much the same both ways; I would think that with true fretless, the chordal playing he was doing would be pretty difficult. So maybe you're right, and it's more of a "fretless effect".

Check this out: Fretted/fretless guitars Click on the demos; looks like it actually works!

Early last year in DownBeat, Pat just shook his head when the interviewer mentioned this piece. He basically said he was surprised that people were still bringing this up. Although, funnily enough, I heard Kenny's version of WAWW just this week at the barbershop. It is quite hideous.

Old news.

H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y PAUL ! :rsmile:

Fred Hersch is at Kerrytown this Sunday, too. Chuck just wants us all to be happy.

You found pic pretty quickly.

There you have it, Greg. :rsmile:

I'm serious about commuting to work and doing as many errands as possible on my bike this year. To that end, I bought this little beaut today: Bianchi Sparta I'm looking foward to gettin' to it!

I don't know much about them myself, other than rave reviews from Rooster_Ties and others here. 9 piece group based in Boston. I was checking out their website; looks like a good thing to me.

Actually, I just checked, and did find a couple.... Thanks in advance, Erik!

I'm going to give them another listen soon... no matter what SoulStream thinks!

I don't expect that one to show. Are there any other Nonesuch releases in stock?

Thursday, March 30, 8 pm EITHER/ORCHESTRA Kerrytown Concert House 415 North Fourth Ave Ann Arbor, MI 48104 I'll probably make this one. Anyone in the area want to go? There's a nice Thai restaurant about 50 feet away from the venue.

Greg, I've listened to them several times. I think he plays great on those recordings. I like what Warren Hayes is doing there, too.

Nice to know I can still pass for an under-30 alien.

yes, but we never heard yours Joe. All the guitar players on the board seem to like this guy. 'course I like him.... I taught him everything he knows! :rsmile:
