i wonder if the people who put on the annual jazz festival in damascus and aleppo might be able to help. their website is jazzlivesinsyria.com. good luck!

imo, rape and animal cruelty ain't funny.

earlier, but seriously misplaced. if anyone deserves to be called an artist, it is pavarotti. i will always cherish the memories of my father introducing me to opera by playing some of the great arias sung by this immensely gifted individual. enjoy this clip of him singing nessun dorma: now check out this duet with the godfather of soul: james and luciano

i was a big fan of the move in the leat 60s/early 70s, and i own their four original lps: The Move, Shazam, Looking On, and Message From The Country. according to this website, salvo records in association with fly records was scheduled to release THE MOVE 40TH ANNIVERSARY SERIES on August 20th: the move online to answer your original questions, i like message the best. as far as songs go, It Wasn't My Idea To Dance, Do Ya, Brontosaurus, and Chinatown still do it for me.

only 10 days to go!

that explains a lot. from wikipedia: Domesticated stallions are trained and managed in a variety of ways, depending on the region of the world, the philosophy of the owner, and the temperament of the individual stallion. In all cases, however, stallions have an inborn tendency to attempt to dominate both other horses and human handlers, and will be affected to some degree by proximity to other horses, especially mares in heat. They must be asked to behave with respect toward humans at all times or else their natural aggressiveness, particularly a tendency to bite, may pose a danger of serious injury. and all along, i was just smacking him on the nose with a rolled newspaper!

Hey guys, Is there a chance any of you can provide me with the image of a poster used for the reopening of Fred Anderson's Velvet Lounge? The background featured the lovingly hideous wallpaper from the old Velvet, a picture of Fred, and the title: “New location. Same old Velvet.” A link to a large file would be great too. Thanks.

maybe that's because the man made a personal decision not to make it public, and most other people have respected his wishes.

if you listen closely, you can hear someone else's giggling just before this poor guy started to laugh. imo, something happened in the studio that elicited the laughter, and the anchor's reaction was totally unrelated to the tragic news report. although it's not uncommon for someone to laugh nervously under particularly stressful conditions, i don't think that was the case in this situation.

thank you!

I'm looking for this title that was issued by Strata East, in any form. Thanks.

from a 2004 interview with Monk's son: T.S. says Monk Sr. was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1964, and was one of the first anywhere to take lithium. The pianist continued to perform, regardless. Of course, his mental state caused some unusual behavior. Monk would pace endlessly, and twirl, nonstop in airports. He’d sometimes drift off into never-never-land. But T. S. says he can’t recall his dad ever missing a gig, or giving a subpar performance because of the illness. (He also says his father retired, not because he was mentally incapable of playing — as is often reported — but because he had had prostate surgery, which made prolonged periods of sitting and playing extremely uncomfortable.) “Around the age of 12, my mother started explaining my father’s illness to me, and I learned that I had to look after him just as much as he looked out for us,” T.S. says. “So me, my mother and sister were absolutely dedicated to him.” And, T.S. adds, Monk was always dedicated to them. “He had this unique way of building our self-esteem. He believed in us. He was glad that we were a part of him. He used to tell us that all the time.”

what i enjoyed most about merv's tv show was his sidekick arthur treacher and of course, jack sheldon, who was a pretty funny guy and leader of merv's big band.

well, i'm taking off for my parents' home in r.i. tomorrow afternoon. i'm staying there overnight and going to the festival saturday and sunday. the acts i'm most interested in are performing on the two smaller stages, so i saved myself a few bucks and didn't get a reserved seat in front of the main stage. no one else is going? too bad, it should be fun.

from one lon to another hope you get some nice presents.

i think this guy used to be a member of the old blue note board. he's got a great many listings that include cdrs in the deal. it's interesting that ebay allows these kinds of transactions, where you buy a legit cd and get a cdr as a "bonus." of course, it's the "bonus" cdr that the buyer really wants, as demonstrated by the fact that the seller advertises the "bonus" in the title rather than the legit cd, which is usually something you could buy for just a few dollars.

i just ordered the limited edition. i look at the extra cost as a way of supporting a great artist.

another thrilling topic for discussion. oh well. i thought i'd let you know i added a few jazz-related sites to my homepage: NPR jazz all about jazz news & cd reviews jazz in chicago podcast of course, the first place i always go in the morning is here.

damn fan! great, now i suck as much at something virtually as i do in reality.

Looking at the homepage on my computer this morning, I felt the need to search for new content that was more useful and entertaining that what I currently have. I became curious as to what content other members have on their homepage. So, whatcha got? Also, feel free to mention what you think is some of the most stupid or useless stuff you've had or seen on a homepage.

i prefer ice tea, lemonade, water, and milk. when i do drink ginger ale or a cola, it's sugar- and caffeine-free. i don't need the caffeine, and the drinks with sugar taste too sweet for my liking. btw, i've put so much crap in my body for the last 50 years, i don't this stuff is going to do me much harm.

i dunno, but there's something about getting personal with a watermelon that makes me nervous.

happy birthday jan! it was good to meet you at the visionfest. hope to see you there next year!
