After waiting patiently for a couple years, Organissimo is finally coming to Indy to play at the Jazz Kitchen ( www.thejazzkitchen.com ) this coming Friday night (November 2nd). It's about time!!! If you live in Indy or the surrounding area......make sure you are here this Friday night!!! Mark~

Thanks, it was a blast doing the shoot. The cover shot was Bobby's idea.....Chris was not hip to sitting in the grass but he survived. Bobby, Chris and Greg plus the sound engineer Josh were all cool and accomdating as I worked with them throughout the day. The cover shot was done on the grounds of the recording studio...the liner shots were done in the recording studion during the mixing process. Went from the studio to their gig that night.........nice, long day! I actually just got the cd this past Saturday....have listened to it several times.....very cool! Mark~

Also there are a couple Jim Flora calendars available....very limited...on ebay. Each have one Flora image with 12 tear off pages. All hand printed....pretty nice. There may only be 40 or so of these left....act now !!! I"m a big fan of Flora and have a few original things of his so I couldn't pass on these. Bought one for my home and one for my office. Jim Flora Art LLC is offering three hand-printed 2008 calendars: swingin' sax, boogie-beat drummer, and starlite moon. We have a limited number (30 each) to sell. That's it. It's not a numbered edition — 500 backing cards each were printed by Yee-Haw Industries (Knoxville), but due to scheduling demands, the production team could only finish a few hundred calendars for retail boutiques. JFA LLC received 30 sets for our customers. Sales are first-come, first-served. Each calendar costs $12.50 + s/h (see below). We accept checks and PayPal (info@JimFlora.com). The backing cards are letterpress printed on recycled stock, measuring 10" x 4-1/2". The attached calendar, with 12 pull-off pages, measures 3-1/4" x 4-1/2". The Jim Flora illustrations date from the mid-1950s. Those little flyspecks you see around the images are a natural byproduct of the hand-printing process.

There is a little 7x7 calendar http://www.calendars.com/product.asp?IID=3...d=2491&CE=1 at most of the Barnes/Noble stores with Prestige record covers in it. Coltrane is on the cover....sells for about $7.00.

.........or his ass...like Joey D!

I saw something on the Blue Note web site that said Jack Wilson passed away on October 5th . I haven't been around much lately and I can't find out anything via search function....anyone aware of this or am I the last to know? m~

Have a GREAT day, Brownie!!!

...received in great shape! Thanks, Mark~

I have read none of the books nor seen any of the movies....I don't really care of the dude is gay or not. Also, this is a fictional character....so he's not really gay.............or is he???? m~

I would love to go but just can't squeeze it in. I do have a photograph of McCoy Tyner on the cover of the latest Jazz Improv magazine. m

...photographing Stanley Jordan tonight...then Douglass Ewart/Mwata Bowden at the Velvet on Friday night.

I think I read just yesterday that most of these are fake.

Dave Pell sells cdrs of all his releases....even ones still in print...occasionally with a bonus track or two added....but not always..

Yes, when all is said and done, this is what I will choose to remember about that day and what will ultimately help me heal. Duh....I had no idea you were that Rachel!!! Color me stupid... ....old news here in Indy!

i didnt realize that thing was that big. we need those for baseball! ...yeah, if those things hit you, they'll leave a mark! m~

...out of respect for TD and this great day, I have deleted my prior reply! Have a GREAT day, TD!!!! m~

I wear a tie almost daily to work but don't have to... m

No, that's ridiculous!

...wow, I just thought all this stuff would last forever!

PM sent on Nelson/Pepper! m~

...and I hope he does!!! Think he'll make it down from Northern North America? Hopefully he doesn't bring the bird flu with him!
