  1. but, then sometimes these costs come into play. I have a project that's been offered to me where I wonder if it's worth the effort. WTF does this money come from???
  2. Wouldn't mind hearing Bright Size Life myself.
  3. Ah well...it's always about money. Better to do something original....
  4. Cool! I used to play that years ago. The sheet music was accurate for that one so I could play it. That's it. Cool! As you should be at this point. Like I wrote, just curious to see what you were doing. I just thinking about covers since I'm avoiding working on my own music by trying to play Jazz standards. (which is a way of avoiding the backed up work for the day job) Now I'm going through a Monk phase having bought the T. Monk Fake Book a few days ago. Ruby, My Dear....ahhh.
  5. So what other tunes do you folks cover? Last week you played Peaches & Tenderly (which are on the new CD) and another tune I wasn't familiar with. Just curious...
  6. No doubt about that. Every time I've been bit, it was always someone elses cat.
  7. We had a siamese named Sabrina that was quite a mouser.
  8. A funny rat? Is that a bad thing? ← Depends on how good his punch lines are.
  9. Still dark.
  10. Film at 11.
  11. Kinda dark now.

  13. Actually when I joined it was the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis band (later it became Mel's band and I stayed on for 1-1/2 years). I also played with Sam Rivers big band, Slide Hampton's big band and Cecil Taylor's big band (as well as a small big band with Paul Jefferies - Monk arranger). Before I lived in NY, when I lived in Chicago I played in many big bands, but Thad's band was the one I wanted to join early on. I learned a great deal from Thad and from Sam Rivers and Cecil Taylor (even though that was only one week). A good Big Band is an invaluable experience for young players.

  14. I thought you were in Philly.
  15. I tend to think about what chord I'm playing over instead of what scale to use and what chord is next. Food and sex too.
  16. People have been telling me that for years.
  17. not much these days.
  18. Where are they?

  22. the 17th didn't throw you? And I really do think of it as the 17th...ask Joe G.

  24. You take me too seriously!
