I'm looking for a cdr of a show under the name of Gifts & Messages. It's not the studio album of the same name. Here's what's on it: http://www.eclipse.net/~fitzgera/rahsaan/rscotts.htm Please PM. Thanks.

I saw him at Newport. Uh...it was good. All the songs sounded the same, but he was wearing what looked like an electric blue suit. It was him, Denardo, & 2 bass players. I heard an old guy said it sounded like mice running around on the floor. I only recognized one song, but can't remember the title, mid to late '60s. I don't quite know what else to say about it except I'm glad I saw him.

Hey Hardbopjazz, does that mean you were at Newport on Saturday? I was there myself.

I'll be seeing him in Newport this weekend.

I agree with cannonball-addict about Jay London, although when I read Jazzbo's post, I laugh at it for the first time. I think it takes a little adjusting to at first. We need Steven Wright-esque humor anyway, well, I do.

I've only caught a few episodes, but Jay London is great. "I used to be a farmer. I raised eyebrows."

My wife & I will be in row X, seat 1 & 2 on Saturday, and row Q, seat 27 & 28 on Sunday (purposely picked isle seats). If anyone wants to say hi, I'll be wearing black Converse sneakers with pink paint on them. House priming snafu, you see.

If I remember correctly, it might be 10:30.

They say it does rain at least one day, really.

My wife & I are going for both days. I wanted to see Ornette Coleman as out of all of my jazz cds, he's the only one still alive.

Robert Pollard of Guided By Voices Pete Townshend

Say it's a I-IV-V-I, major.

I think it might've been Green Chimneys from 1967 or 68. That's the only 60's original of his I like. With a constant line up, for a while, I don't think it challenged him and he may have wanted it that way by that time. I don't find Charlie Rouse particularly enthralling. I don't have anything after 5 By Monk By 5. I got that because I liked the work Thad Jones did on it.

Are there standard notes to a walking bass line? I'll choose Bb as the key.

I voted no as I live check to check & don't have the money to buy large quanities at one time. The only time I did have a backlog was (wait for it...) when I got into jazz and started buying box sets of numerous people (with the unfortunate help of my charge card...I think I've paid those off now & they were all used from Amazon!). I listen to a cd when I buy it, then I put it on tape (that continuous recording material, 'member that?) and listen to it in my car. That's where I really get to know an album (that's right, I said album) (Too many friggin' asides in this post.) (Yes, I think so too.) (Well you would think that.) (What's that supposed to mean?) (Hey I'm just saying maybe you could move out of your mom's basement if you didn't buy so many cds.)

The night Johnny Coles collapsed is also the Sue Mingus issue called Revenge on the Revenge label. That's right, right? Brownie, edit your 1954 to 1964. B)

Aw...Alexander you're right. Was that the name of the Yes drummer who played with Lennon & Ono in Toronto? Yeah, that's my alibi. Got 'em mixed up.

I'm in need of a screen & printer font called Lydian (& if you have it, Frutiger, but that's not as important). I lost it when I had to reinstall everything on my computer after a move. Please PM & thank you.

If Purdie says he played on the Tony Sheridan tracks, then he replaced Pete Best's drums no Ringo's. I voted for Ringo because the least important member will survive...i don't know, just because, I guess. And where's Alan White who played on a version of Love Me Do??? In 2 years everyone will play When I'm 64 when McCartney turns 64. They probably did this year as Ringo turned 64 this month. But enough about me...

As a big Beatle fan I hate to ask, but who's Bernard Purdie?

I "remastered" mine on my computer. All they had to do was pull down the mids a bit and it's not as hard to listen to. How come I had the idea & not the record company? It seems they stuck to the sound too truthfully.

Maybe DEEP is trying to get back on the board looking for some respect this time around.

PhillyQ, Hmm, tough call. Quite a few great albums if you're into noisy guitar rock. I've got them all & I'd say start with: 1. Sister 2. Daydream Nation 3. Goo 4. Dirty ...and a couple more earlier ones which are great: 5. EVOL 6. Bad Moon Rising (most noisy) More recent albums (more quirky & more jammy): 7. A Thousand Leaves 8. Murray St 9. Sonic Nurse (this might be a good one to start with also) The ones I didn't mention: 10. Sonic Youth (1st EP, still OOP) 11. Confusion Is Sex (low-fi noise) 12. Experimental, Jet Set, Trash & No Star (quirkiest of all!) 13. Washing Machine 14. NYC Ghosts & Flowers (my least favorite album, ny beat poetry experiments) There's my 14 cents.

The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park & Rocky & Bullwinkle (2nd season out in August!)

I find it interesting that there are votes for each one. I voted for #3, but I know I'll like it. I'm with JSngry on this one, there's nothing I haven't liked. The reason I picked #3 is because it's mostly live albums and knowing Miles was doing the same songs just with different people doen't thrill me initially, but I am looking forward to it as it's the last box. I'm just glad I didn't get into Miles back when these sets started coming out. It's been almost a DECADE if you include the Plugged Nickel box. And since there's still the Live Evil set that's yet to come out & a set from 1969 (2 cds), it will be 10 years for all of this.
