Man with the Golden Arm

Sure wished he had ... I think only live ... but there's this! exit stage left

He plays a mean Waring.

picked up a pair of these JBL 410s for ipod use for twenty some bucks at Staples a while back. nice fit w/ a cup cushion that seats around the ear and a padded band that won't mess up my hair . great sound IMO. also picked up a set of Denon 751 earphones (for thankfully much less than I see the retail now!) and really like them. they fit just inside the canal and provide a bit of outside noise reduction w/o the weird hum that the noise-canceling phones produce. the $hure's do sound great from a small bit of testing I was able to do but the price value relationship seemed a bit of a reach.

The Archive watch.

Curious as to the loungey sauntering in the background ... I love the guitar break that turns up at the end. So a nice little blindfold test but better to leave the blindfold off and view the trailer as well. Robert McGinnis: "Painting the Last Rose of Summer" The score of this is composed by Hans Karl(?) but that is not who is played during the clip. edit: turns out it is a west coast composer - Stephen Greaves

at the very least provide a link. i'm sick of seeing the commercial for some such up here where a fat gal gets a Sox logo on her shoulder.

I thought I was in some sort of time warp! HELLYEAH!

RIP 'Hefti In Gotham' is still out there on the "wires" for anyone interested ... esp to hear the lead in of "Mother Gotham" that later morphed into his theme from "The Odd Couple".

I came across this stuff last month in a search for Lester Bowie. A friend of mine also came across it, by chance, in a search for Olu Dara. Another friend came across it by chance searching for Taj Mahal. Everyone had dl'd the Ishmael Reed Conjure album. I picked up a couple of tracks from other albums here and there. Thanks for the rec's Vint! Anyone and everyone should, at the very least, spend a token on "Rawalpindi Blues" from the Paul Haines 'Darn It' album and then play it as loud as the neighborhood will allow plus one notch more. Possibly my favorite performance of all time ... it will grab you by the wish bone!

Most all of Kip Hanrahan's American Clavé label is now up. For the uninitiated steer very clear (just from samples) of something called "Beautiful Scars" - a new one by Kip. But by all means there is some important work for the taking. American Clavé

If you like Michael Franks then member "jazzshrink" is available for an intervention.

considering I've put up two of these things: An improperly hung ceiling fan falls from above you while it's running. The fast-moving blades slice through your neck with ease, launching your head across the room. the part they left out is: ... then your noggin crashes thru the second story bay window and rolls down the driveway only to be blasted by the neighbor across the street who is once again blowing leaves and dirt and shit all over the place.

... and here I figured one of em had a hernia.

You can get about 60 of these into one of these .

only made it thru D but as "pedestrian" as it might be - omitting 'Cool Struttin''!?

Marsalis Jazz ABZ That "Mysterious Thelonious" is a good one...

Jack White ... (just bumping my post count with stoopid stuff is all ...) BUT more importantly I laffed at the positivity of "half-full colon". never heard that one.

I always get him confused with this guy.

all i know is I shouldn't a tried to Google Image "Chubby Hubby"

I had a couple retinal tears (and i'm NOT nearsighted) a year or so back that were cautiously and promptly treated. I do suggest one of these to counteract the feeling of one of these

Damn sorry. At least you have back up. I left my manual table on for a couple days without having taken the needle up from the center (put a jacket on top of the dust cover so I forgot and turned the amp off...) so it just skimmed along the side of the inner groove for 50 hours plus! Wondering if I should go and have it checked out? I can't hear any difference but who knows what damage lies within.

It's a new CD re-issue on the EMI/DRG label - a twofer w/ a tosser - Previn's "Paris Swings" by Elmer Bernstein and the Swinging Bon Vivants. Sure wished they'd pressed with something a bit more compelling like 'The Silencers'.
