New Joss Stone available. Anybody heard this?

Wasn't blown away upon first listen and really wasn't expecting to be. I obviously need to give this one a few more spins. The synth guitar ain't working though- and this coming from someone who really likes Offramp.

You should check out his other solo releases, especially Modern Man. Also, his work with Deep Blue Organ Trio is not to be missed.

I bet it runs fast.

FYI- Just got an email about this. These might be good little performers if they are designed as well as other Outlaw products. Outlaw Bookshelf Speakers

I haven't received the message yet. Everything still $5.99.

Nice job. Looks great!

Saw this one today... "Kill All Extremists"

On a bit of EW&F kick lately... EW&F- Mighty Mighty

Sure it can be transferred but can you "read it". Migration of the data to a viable format that can be read is always going to be the big question as we move forward.

More and more I spend a large part of my work day wrestling with this very subject. Electronic data is a blessing and a curse.

...commentary by Barry Harris and this Board's own Michael Weiss. Wow, didn't know that. Bonus.

Complete Bud Powell On Verve I've been thinking about this one for over a year. Finally pulled the trigger.

I've done it a few times. You definately need to know what your doing and have a bit of a "war chest" of cash to cover those unpredictable circumstances. You better have a personality and mindset that isn't paralyzed when forced to make quick decisions (you'll be forced to make many). Conversely, you also need to do your homework. I would get up every Saturday morning and make the rounds through neighborhoods that I was interested in (listings help but only so much). I did it religiously for 7 months before I found the first candidate that met all my criteria. The next few went a lot quicker, but by then I knew these neighborhood markets very well. I stopped three years ago and took the proceeds to buy rental property that I'm holding onto long term. The days of buying low, painting the interior, and selling for 10K profit are over. There is a lot less margin for error these days with interest rates up, and a glut of sellers. Proceed with caution! Matter of fact, IMO your better off investing in vintage guitars (at least in the short term).

Amazing, some of the posts in this thread that is, talk about not seeing the forrest from the trees!

Terje Rypdal, Trilok Gurtu, Miroslav Vitous...

Thank you, just got mine. Backordered at CDU, DG still seems to have it available though.

Of this I have no doubt. Urban sprawl, overbuilding, congestion, longer commutes, and inadequate roads have a hell of a lot more to do with tailgating than just about anything else, including NASCAR.

Looks like some Zappa has been added with more coming... Over-Nite Sensation Hot Rats Apostrophe' Have I Offended Someone?

A couple that come to mind immediately. I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good) from Monk Plays Ellington Ellington's songs are really well suited to varied interpretations including Monk's. One of my all time favorites. Needs no explanation to appreciate. Rhythm-A-Ning from Monk In Paris Extremely twisted solo, and I mean that in the best possible way. Nice arc to the overall solo, starts busy with a lot of forward motion and gradually becomes more sparse and stripped down, with just a few jabs at chords. Ends with a forceful thump of a chord which sounds like a door slamming. When your done, your done right?

I would add Jesse Van Ruller to the list.

That's messed up.

...mmmmmmmm

Ditto. Plus Peter Bernstein is on board, big plus!

You might also want to check out Heritage Guitars. For my money some of the best made, most playable, and best sounding guitars. Superb craftmenship, much better made than late model Gibsons IMO (it's really not even close).
