I haven't subscribed for years, but this issue is pretty good!

The great thing about those bastards is that with the limited cds they have, many are difficult to find elsewhere without a lot of digging. Prices are good on some items, not so good on others. That said, I still seem to always leave there with a handful !!!

I will actually be there plus the Jazz Record Mart on Sunday !!!

Sal, I'm sure you've never been high in my presence......have you ?

Ghost, I introduced myself to Jim when I went up to photograph the 70th Anniversary of Baker's Keyboard Lounge with Donald Byrd, Curtis Fuller, Charles McPherson and others. Seems like a nice guy, he was the MC for part of the show. Mark

I believe you are correct, Dan!

Ghost, Sent you a PM.

I thought Euclid was in St. Louis. I've been there many times but maybe there is one in Chicago I'm not aware of.

Ghost, I have a couple Mastersounds LP's. Are you looking for them to buy or to use on your show, as I would lend them to you? I met Benny Barth a few years ago, very friendly guy. I sent him some photographs I made of him and received a nice "thank you" letter in return. It was good to see him back in Indy! Mark

There are very few of Slide's recording I don't dig. As far as the American Swinging in Paris series go, when's the next batch coming out???

Have a good one, Scott

You've got mail !

I've heard there could be a Braff in the not so distant future.

Billy is doing Ellington's Sacred Concert in the near future. I'll dig out the info and let you know. He sent me an e-mail a couple weeks ago. Mark

I just returned from night #2 of the Indy Jazz Fest. Solomon Burke, while not a jazz musician reminded the crowd what Juneteenth is all about! By the way, Soloman did put on a good show B) .

Hell, even you stated in this thread that the Pacers would win that series. How silly does that seem now? Apologies to the Pacer fans in the house. ........I'm waiting..........hello?????

Damn, I'll be at the Indy Jazz Festival this weekend, it would have been nice to have one them!!!

Christ, Noj, Don't tell me you are amongst the ranks of Oakland Raider whiners... That call was made because it was in the rule book. You could argue that the rule is not a good one, but the refs simply judged that it was not a fumble as interpreted by the rulebook. Instant replay didn't overturn it. These types of calls are judgment-based and could go either way. No football fan need get overly wound up about them. That's football. Raider fans should lament the fact that their team was unable to stop Tom Brady afterwards when it counted. It didn't matter what happened on that play. The Patriots still needed to score...and they did. Lay some blame where it belongs: the Raiders couldn't stop them when they needed to. You Patriot fans!!!

no....no...no, it's not a prank; I would never be this cruel!!! When I realized the thread was screwed up, I started a new one with the same info!!!

...well, right now it's raining cats and dogs (and many other small animals)! I hope it clears in time for the Indy Jazz Fest this weekend !

I started the thread when the site was up/down a couple days ago. I'm not even sure how to delete it .

I didn't know that, I know my better half would probably not enjoy hearing the word ! Maybe someone should try it out and let the rest of us know how it works out! Good Luck!

I am working on a web site to showcase my photography of jazz musicians. I have yet to choose a domain name (www.********.com) and am looking for recomendations from all. It appears there are many creative people on this board (and many that think they are ). I would welcome any input that you may have. Is is better to have my name in it (does it make it easier to locate if you don't know the exact name of the site)? My better half suggest "The Mark of Jazz" as my name is Mark. I told her I wouldn't be able to put up with the shit from my friends and co-workers if I did that! So put on your thinking caps and give me your thoughts. I may even award the winner with a nice matted photograph suitable for hanging . Regards to all, Mark

Anyone heard this one yet? I picked it up a couple days ago and have listened to it once so far. I love Maberns playing and have always been a fan of George Coleman, Buddy Terry and of course Blue Mitchell. Walter Perkins also played a little on this. I think I read that this was Mabern's first recording as a leader. Mark

I can't believe they would need police in the motor city , it's a well behaved lot!
