that was my take on her when she performed with matt wilson a few months ago in boston. it was a pleasant experience, but i don't think i'd go to one of her gigs. regardless of the enthusiastic press, she doesn't have the chops or sensibility of the "young lions" i remember, like donald harrison, antonio hart, steve wilson, etc. only time will tell.

WORD!

i regularly see copies of this title in the used bins for only $5-$6, so i don't know why a seller would think he'd get big bucks for it.

and to what should they be paying attention? to the fact that a handful of people are willing to pay inflated prices for a particular title? i just don't believe this is a valid indication of demand. how many different individuals are bidding on this cd? if it were a great many people, then i think that would be something worth paying attention to. btw, i have this set, and i'd be willing to sell it for $0. that's right, no money. my asking price is dick cheney's resignation or impeachment. heck, i'll even throw in free shipping!

agreed. do you think head man might need a shrink to cope with the disappointment?

aside from the columbia discs, this is one of my favorite blythe recordings that includes bob stewart:

looks like the live recordings that originally came out on concord, i.e., keystone korner (1978), mikell's (1984), etc. here's a link to hear sound clips: barnesnoble

on my only visit to bradley's, i got to see gary bartz and kenny barron in a quartet. in addition to the great music, i got to talk to the two of them at length between sets. i remember the subject of wynton m. coming up, prompting one of them to say, "i wish he'd just shut up and play his horn."

late is the name of his 1993 columbia release. it's rather good and though oop, not too hard to find online.

i find that this bean makes a particularly good brew.

i bet those trees will be bare after faddis hits some of those high notes he's known for.

no need, the cake said it all.

i just booked my air, hotel, and tickets for the weekend shows. i've been opening my ears to new sounds over the past two years, and i'm really looking forward to experiencing this music live. so who else is going to be there? could there be an "o" hang in the making?

btw, i like laurie pepper's response to people who have illegally traded or sold unreleased material:

and here's a link to cdbaby, where it's being sold: cdbaby note: you get a 20% discount if you order more than one copy.

i'm trying to think what i'd do if this family ere referred to me for therapy after this incident. i probably wouldn't see them altogether given the amount of pain and hostility between them. first, i'd help the child deal with her experience of the event (i.e., hurt, fear, anger). i'd meet with dad next. "what were you thinking (irrational thoughts)? what were you feeling (anger, rejection, hurt)? do you think your actions expressed your true feelings (rejection, hurt)? what are some other ways you might respond in the future when you're feeling this way?" then it's mom's turn. "what were you trying to accomplish by leaking this private conversation to the public? what impact do you think it has had on your child?" "what's a better way of responding when you're in this kind of situation?" after that, i'd have separate meetings with father and daughter and with mother and daughter, so each parent can take responsibility for their part in the fiasco. this helps the child see how her actions may also have played a role, while stressing that nothing excuses a parent from being abusive. then on to the fun part. if both parents really love their child, they'll participate in some couples counseling. the goal is not to reunite them, but to get them to stop putting their daughter in the middle of their fights. finally, i'd like to go after all those people who are capitalizing on a horrible family situation to forward their own agenda. admittedly, this phase of treatment would be less freudian and more, how should i say, moe-ian (line them all up and slap them stooge-style). mr. berigan, please step forward. whew, i'm tired. time for me to lie on the couch (and nap).

A shout out to my good friend from Indy who turns the big 5-0 today. Happy birthday Mark!
