Which begs the question: How would you even KNOW that you're 1% African-American?

It's about time they RVGed True Blue. Yes to that! I'm also curious about Basra. The opinions about it are mixed, but those who like it, like it a whole lot. Bring it on, Blue Note! And let's not forget Davis Cup, Introducing Johnny Griffin, and Flight To Jordan. (And Here To Stay as well.)

There's A Riot Goin' On---Sly and the Family Stone

I just heard that Snoop is filing for divorce. Gee, you think you KNOW a guy, and then something like this happens...

"Cheesecake" by Dexter Gordon Just about any big band flag-waver.

For a while I didn't listen to rock anymore, but now I'd have to say it's a virtual tie between blues, r&b, classical, pop/rock, country and others. So, other than jazz (which still takes up most of my listening time) I'd have to say...."miscellaneous."

Wow. For several years I actually thought Jackie McLean was white. Then I read some interview where he referred to being black, I looked at an album photo and thought, "Oh yeah, I guess he is black." I felt like such an idiot. Peter's question makes me feel a lot better.

Whoops! Sorry. Can I change my vote? BTW, why don't we just get rid of the Olympics entirely? They're a huge pain in the ass, the olympic commitee is corrupt as hell, the althletes are all drugged up so it's a joke...who needs it?

I'm with Greg on this one.

I know it is a question of taste but from my point of view this is the most interesting set. I love the combination of Golsen & Farmer and they always sound better when Curtis Fuller joined them to the front line. I can promise you I'll be one of first to pre order this set and I have started already the count down... The Jazztet really deserve a Mosaic set so thank you Mosaic for doing this historical justice. I have to agree.

"Surfin' Bird" --by The Trashmen

Welcome back, Organissmo Forums! And yes, I don't have a life.

No doubt having her picture on THIS board will help!

"He just hangs out all the time with my parents, and listens to my dad's stupid jazz records."

Nothing. Hurray for me!

WOW! Wish I'd been here for that.

After the RVG of Mode For Joe came out, I used to play "Black" an average of half-a-dozen times a day for weeks for some reason. Funny thing is, I still like it.

Nellie Luthcher: "Real Gone Gal" a compilation on the Stateside label.

If they could, I would have chosen some richer ones.

Hey, is he dumping on my man Kenny G????

May I suggest an Ellington? Such Sweet Thunder or Blues In Orbit or Piano Reflections or And His Mother Called Him Bill. Also Mingus Ah Um is a perennial favorite of both jazz lovers and jazz beginners.

Me too. I got a used vinyl album of him with Lucky Thompson that was pressed so badly it sounded like it had sand in the grooves, yet Solal's sheer talent still shone through clearly. Viva Solal!!

Great album! (And it's nice that I already have it.) Will spin it tonight or tomorrow. As for Farmer, yes, I know what you mean. You could make a case for him being the best of the post-Clifford Brown trumpeters.

I once hit a rabbit, but it wasn't my fault! It ran right into my car.

Yes; I'll be surprised if Dave doesn't say something tonight. RIP
