this is the only one of his i own, and it's quite good: and he's also excellent on this date:

although the seller says the cd has no scratches, he states: "Disc has a small imperfection, does not affect play."

so, are you looking for a recommendation? a seller?

for those who need some religion: church site

i guess he's okay, if you like someone who's more interested in looking hip and cool than singing a song.

some nights when the band members of the septet i played with outnumbered the people in the audience, we'd introduce ourselves as "Chuck Roast and his Prime Cuts, featuring the vocals of the lovely Clair Voyant." just one of the many reasons i'm now a psychologist.

i was openly critical of irwin during his lifetime. i considered his style of interacting with some animals on some occcasions to be disrespectful. but after taking time to examine his career as a whole, i have come to the conclusion that his interest in animal welfare was genuine and his intentions honorable. while i didn't always agree with his methods, i share other people's sadness over his passing.

any chance you could post it here?

As a shrink...you should see it in the "flying V" as well. yeah, but i was a guitar player way before i became a shrink. i even played a flying v for a short while. damn, they're heavy!

what's the gender of the two kittens? if it's a male and a female, how about billie and prez?

forgive my ignorance, but i don't get the sexual innuendo you're hinting at.

just woke up and realized it's only 3 more days to the festival! btw, who are these "o" fellas?

i have several volumes and enjoy them all. imo, the arrangements, along with the talent, make them more interesting than many other jam sessions. my favorites are vols. 11, 4, and 9. btw, your list omits the third soloist featured on each session.

shocking news. i'll spending a lot of time there this thursday through sunday night for the after-festival jams hosted by ira sullivan.

from the dreyfus website: This winter, Dreyfus Records is planning to release its first box set of Roy Haynes. This career retrospective will offer a unique perspective on the history of jazz - from the chair of one the music’s most recorded drummers. It will highlight Roy’s work as a leader, and as a sideman on several of the genre’s most pivotal recordings. still seems a bit confusing/mysterious, i have to admit.

doesn't this already answer your question?

of course, but not too much affection.

i, on the other hand, will take periodic naps to bolster my constitution, much to the chagrin of my chaperone above. ...don't you mean "non-stop"? m~

not from where i'm sitting.

from bighassle.com: For more than five decades, saxophonist/composer Ornette Coleman has played a pivotally seminal role in American music. The inventor of what has been called "free jazz," Coleman belongs to that rare breed of artists/thinkers whose influence extends far beyond the realm of their chosen medium. Always putting his remarkable virtuosity at the service of melody and emotion, he has had and continues to have a powerful impact on how musicians play, improvise, and compose, on how music lovers listen, on the color and sound of music the world over. While Coleman has led a wide variety of formations, from duos to symphony orchestras, electric and acoustic, his basic musical concept has been remarkably consistent. He is interested in writing and performing music that allows all players to give free reign to their imagination and ideas. His musical system, which he named “harmolodics” and now prefers to call “sound grammar,” is a remarkable exercise in applied democracy. All voices are given equal weight; all musicians are free to make deeply individual contributions while listening closely to one another, at once giving & taking space for their respective creativity. The release of Sound Grammar marks several firsts: the first release on Coleman's own, new label, also called Sound Grammar, the album is his first in more than a decade; his first live album in 20 years; and the first recording featuring his latest, now three-year-old, band. Composed of Ornette Coleman on saxophone, trumpet & violin, his son Denardo Coleman on drums, and acoustic bassists Tony Falanga (Orchestra of St. Luke's) & Greg Cohen (Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, John Zorn's Masada), this group sounds like no other on the music scene or in Ornette's career. Beautifully recorded live in concert in Germany in late 2005, Sound Grammar showcases six brand new Coleman compositions and two remakes: "Song X,” originally featured on the 1985 album of the same name, and "Turnaround," from the classic 1959 LP Tomorrow is The Question . He explains: “When I get a job to perform I write a whole new program of music so that we don't perform something I have played before and that my musicians have not. I want them to be affected the same way I'm being affected. I only do that for the sake of equality, not because I want to be a great composer.” Ornette explains further: "Sound grammar is to music what letters are to language. Music is a language of sounds that transforms all human languages." As original, innovative, and groundbreaking as anything Coleman has released in nearly five decades of record making, Sound Grammar is also one of his most accessible and melodic works to date. It is poised to rank among the key musical events of 2006.

as long as i don't flinch. 'cause they punch hard!

howdy all, i hope someone here can relieve my confusion or join in my frustration about a pricing issue involving half.com. when you pull up an artist's titles, they list the individual cds like this: Back Room Blues: Brian Lynch CD - Buy it for $3.30 (Save 82%) but when you click on the actual title or the lowest available price of $3.30, you get this: Back Room Blues (CD) Primary Artist: Brian Lynch Best Price: $13.20 List Price: $18.98 (Save 30%) this significant disparity between the supposed and actual lowest price occurs quite often. so what gives? is it just a case of my missing out on a lower priced item before they have a chance to update the listing? it's somewhat frustrating when you think you can get a cd for a very low price, only to click and be disappointed.

pm'd you about the snidero and henderson discs. and the wuepper too.
