  1. good titles, great prices, prompt delivery. something is terribly wrong here. i'll play mine after the bomb squad checks them out. p.s. thanks david
  2. just goes to show, no one does jim like jim. of course, the post should have been a hell of a lot longer.
  3. kevin bresnahan: i was talking to michael cuscuna last week about when we can expect the chicken to cross the road again. there's no definate date yet, but he assured me it's going to happen. let's hope the chicken does it right this time, with an sacd tied to his back.
  4. PM sent on Hank Jones Trio "Bluebird" Harry Edison "Mr. Swing" Bobby Hutcherson "Vibe Wise"
  5. you know, you're right! just look at her yelling "wheee!"
  6. sorry, it's the first thing that came to mind.
  7. ah, the good old days before they outlawed snagging.
  8. here's another film with richard widmark. hero? villian? who the hell cares!
  9. are you forgetting? probably his most famous "good guy" role, which became a tv series. widmark played a hero, albeit a flawed one, in many films, like Elia Kazan's "Panic in the Streets" where he's a doctor chasing down a plague carrier (Jack Palance!).
  10. do i have to listen to the cd to get my dr. p?

    Cables

    the relationship between anticipation and perception has been the subject of a good deal of psychological research. anticipation is a process based on the perception that something is going to happen in the future. all living organisms, including humans, use anticipation to guide them in goal-oriented decision-making. It's what makes it possible for us to perform different physical and mental tasks without measuring everything along the way. this doesn't mean that one cannot hear a difference between cables and interconnects, only that what one hears (or thinks he hears) is partly the result of anticipation. when we add to the mix the high cost of some of this equipment, we can expect the role of anticipation to be even greater. if you want to be more convincing to others about the improved quality of a cable, you must due to blind study in which someone else switches the cable, leaving you with the job of simply perceiving what you hear. of course even then, the anticipation of the experiment could influence the outcome. better to have someone sneak into your home and replace your cables without your knowledge. in the name of science, i'd be willing to conduct this experiment for you. just send your keys to me, along with an idea of when you'll be away, and i'll do the rest...for science.
  12. two different covers, same excellent album check out some sound clips: amazon
  13. please move this thread to where it belongs. cachao was a true artist, a master of the bass and the descarga.
  14. just got home from seeing the kenny barron trio. simply beautiful. his mature, heartfelt playing brings back memories of the late tommy flanagan and how much i enjoyed hearing his trio. next week, dave holland and robin eubanks at nec.
  15. here here! happy birthday fred! potete in tensione altri cento anni!
  16. yes, newbury sold the same item three days ago for $415. both auctions began bidding at 99 cents. quite a contrast to the evans set that the infamous norman's of nyc is selling for a buy-it-now price of $599.
  17. And they are grateful for the opportunity. gee, do you think they do it for fun? or is it now generally expected that an attractive female actor or musician should strip in the world's most popular men's magazine in order to get attention? don't get me wrong, the female form is incredibly beautiful, clothed or otherwise. i just find it sad and distasteful that this is the accepted way for these talented women to compete in the world. is there anyone here who really sees nothing wrong with this?
  18. i agree that the idea behind this poll/article is stupid, hurtful, etc. but is it any less respectful toward women than the endless parade of scantily-clad female actors, musicians, etc. that has been this magazine's bread and butter for more than a decade? i suppose there have always been sexy or glamorous shots of women in the entertainment field, but this rag and other others like it reduce many talented women to the status of softcore porn star.
  19. Introducing Roland Kirk
  20. okay, i'll ask the difficult question no one else will ask: who's on top?
  21. thanks for the clarification. i thought you were trying to buy these: a Kerry [Great] Daner is much different, you see.
  22. PM sent on NATHAN DAVIS "Rules Of Freedom"
