Assuming it's just the relocation saga, I'm jealous; looks like ours is going to take longer than expected. If it's the world, than nevermind-it doesn't really matter...

If I really was looking for a label that I felt was omitted unwisely, I guess it would be Eremite.

That is bad news. But at these prices I guess I'll live with it.

Huh? Who said there was no connection in improvisation? 'Spontaneous' doesn't mean ignore everything going on around you...

Maybe it's just me, but this looks like a fancied up version of the "why can't they paint stuff that looks real anymore?" argument to me...

I agree; I just expected a few "what about <insert poster's favorite indie label here>?" posts for some reason. Truth be told, my "Record Label" bookmarks expanded a bit with this thread...

Well...judging from some of my posts in the political forum...

My favorite Chinese place ever was in Chicago. But that was back in '79, so who knows if it's still there.

Isn't Chicago the place where they pile so much glop on the crust it turns into a casserole instead of a pizza? Don't mind me; I feel that thick crusts are an abomination unto the lord...

My first Dusty Groove order arrived today- Jackie McLean: The Meeting, vol. 1 Pete Christlieb/Warne Marsh: Apogee Thad Jones/Mel Lewis: Presenting... Thad Jones/Mel Lewis: Live at the Village Vanguard I took a chance and ordered the last even though it was only graded at VG, something I would NEVER do on eBay. It plays perfectly! This is not a good sign for future budgeting...

I thought that had already happened.

Only after eating too much hot food and/or catching the flu, usually.

In a sense, I think so. Not that I'm against any edits, but too many fixesare deceitful in my opinion. To give a longwinded explanation, what repelled me from rock was the discovery of how much of the music was created by the studio personnel, not the musicians. Realizing that the "most important Beatle" was neither John nor Paul, but George Martin was tough. So, what attracted me to jazz in the first place was the chance taking of improvisation. That has colored my thinking to the point that, for me, "real jazz" (bear with me and mind the quotes, okay? ) is best represented by a one take, there it is approach. (And by one take, I mean a single take, not the first take.) While I enjoy Bitches Brew, for example, it can never measure up in my mind as "real jazz", due to the studio trickery involved. People who criticize performers like Mad Lib and hold up Bitches Brew as a great album confuse the hell out of me...

Do you mean Danny Barker? IIRC, WC played his interpretation of Bunk Johnson's demonstration of Bolden. ← I knew bunk was involved somehow...

41 views and not a single comment? Heck, I'll start... What about Limited Sedition? Erstwhile? Thrill Jockey? Next....

But seriously, Marcus pretty much nails the real draw.

My doctor told me to cut back on the salty snacks and give my arm a rest, so this is all I have left.

Strange...I have this sudden urge to email Chuck Nessa, but for the life of me I can't figure out why!

I thought I noticed the Portuguese word for Spam in there, but I thought it was perhaps a different variety of processed pork product...

Damn...I left out 'mythical' and got nothing but people trying to sell me old pianos.
