So Dmitry, If you went to see the Paul Motian Trio, give us your review, please.

Well Brad, Not exactly, not sure what JT means, but I would have loved it if the sound didn't suck.

Scroll down a bit brad, to page 2 and you can see my review and others. I think the playing is marvelous, the sound quality is atrociously bad, IMO. Yours truly, The Invisible Man

I didn't know that The Mule. By the way, my comments about the ripoffs are not meant to discourage anyone from seeing the film or enjoying the rest of the music, which I did immensely and I think others will too.

Dmitry, I would be definitely up for seeing that gig - they are probably my favorite working band. I couldn't go until Friday or Saturday, though or else the following week since I see they are booked for 2 weeks, right?

I agree the Mule. It's a fun movie. Did you notice all the great music in the film, including jazz of course. But what about the "original" Freddy Freeloader and Blue in Green ripoffs? Miles could sue, or maybe it should be Bill, or both?

You should check out "Nightown" or the "Bop Stop" in Cleveland Ohio.

Thanks USE3D.Maybe it is working. Here's what happens. After I read the message in INBOX, it click on the reply button at the bottom. then I get a box with "welcome to your control panel" at the top, then Recipient's name. then a series of bars: One says "enter your message" but there is no box there. Lower down is "enter your post" and there is the text of the message I received. I guess I am supposed to scroll that down and put my message on top of it?

I have internet explorer version 6.

When I hit the reply button after reading a private message, i don't get a box to enter text and can't figure out how to do it. Anyone clue me in on what I am doing wrong?

As others have mentioned here I love the Spaces album and think it is very underrated and rather singular in that it doesn't fit the usual fusion record at all to me. Not sure what you mean JSangrey when you call it "wildly undisciplined" - I don't hear that so please clue me in?

I am somewhat disappointed in the Horace Silver Trio RVG. I did not have it before and I am a big fan, but he appears on this disc not to have yet emerged from an overwhelming Bud Powell influence, not that Bud is a bad influence, but you might as well go to the source. Anyone else agree?

I can't add much to what others have already said, but I wanted to say this is a favorite of mine. It's just to perfect in every way: the melodies, the voices, the instruments. I can't imagine it being done any better. One of the best jazz/bossa nova albums ever!

Happy Birthday Lon!

I like a lot of what has already been mentioned. But, I am surprised Keith Jarrett is not mentioned more in this thread. One could argue he was the dominant new jazz artist of the 70's with the Solo Concerts, and the American and European Quartets - whether you liked him or not, he was at or near the top. I think he made some great contributions.

Well I picked it up and while the playing is marvelous, the fidelity of the recording is one of the worst live recordings I have ever heard. This has about the same sound quality as Bird at the Roost. Apparently done by Kurt Lundvall - this is a real shame because it so detracts from some great music.

Fans of Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, Does anyone else feel that the sax solo on Why do Fools fall in Love is one of the worst, perhaps inappropriate because it has nothing to do with the melody that went before and afterwards. It could have been phoned in. It has nothing to do with the tune.

I love a lot of Haden's playing especially with Ornette and with Jarrett. I actually like Quartet West quite a bit, at least the first 3 releases and then it did get a bit formulaic. I can see why some only like the first one. I think Broadbent and Watts are fine for this concept and Larance Marable, what's not to like. I saw this band live at the Catalina Bar and Grill in LA in the mid 90's and they just killed the whole audience. fantastic.

I love these Changes One and Two albums also. I do think that spirit was carried over nicely into the wonderful Don Pullen/George Adams quartet, which I was fortunate enough to see live and man did they play. One of the greatest jazz bands of the 80's.

Hey Joe, Thanks for bringing up Ernie Krivda, my homeboy is definitely a TDWR, as downbeat likes to say. I love his Cadence LPs : tough tenor/red hot, and Well you Needn't

This music sounds locked in a time warp and nobody does it today, but I like a lot of it. I mean tunes such as: Why do fools fall in love? Since I don't Have you Smoke Gets in your Eyes Only You etc.,etc. It would seem antithetical to much of what I like in music, but yet when I put it on or when it happens to come on and others reach for the off switch - I practically wrestle them to the ground.

Does anyone know if the Blue Trane will be the exact same remastering as on the hybrid CD/SACD that was recently released or will it be different?

John McLaughlin - My Goal's Beyond

Calling Miss Khadija!! Now that's one great blues head.

Some of you may have already seen this french film which features a lot of jazz and an in club performance by Urtreger, Humair, Michelot - I think - the credits went by fast. It is not a documentary and not about jazz but the lead character is clearly a fan. You will get jazzed by his marvelous jazz photo collection as the camera pans the walls.
