  1. be advised that the two dates at berklee are part of the college's marsalis jam series. the band will play only a short set, followed by an open jam by berklee students.
  2. odd and terribly outdated for sure, but "impossibly creepy?" i don't follow you.
  3. Shlomi told police he paid Harris about $1,000 and that that when he kissed her, she "bit his tongue and would not let go." Shlomi then punched her several times until she released his tongue. WOW! What a sham! His story doesn't make any sense. Her alleged assault is a defensive behavior. are you afraid of a disease, or do you think prostitutes are unworthy of kissing?
  4. the assistant prosecutor has stated publicly that the young girl would not go to jail and would most likely not be required to register as a sex offender.
  5. being slightly older, i find it interesting to hear people fondly remembering the days when the big record stores were well-stocked and modestly-priced. i also have such memories, but when i think of "the good old days," i remember a time before the towers and hmvs came to town, a time when you'd go to a relatively small record shop to find the latest releases, a shop that more often than not was independently owned by enthusiastic post-college kids or better yet, someone older with a lot of knowledge and experience who told interesting stories about "the greats." i enjoy the perks of online buying, but damn, i pity the kids of today who will never know what it was like 30-40 years ago.
  6. i know it well and i think it's excellent. i agree with you - i'm hard-pressed to think of a recording by fred that i don't like. i just got back from his 80th birthday celebration at the velvet. a very moving experience with a lot of great music from many different artists, all singing their praises to "baba fred." and we all got cake too!
  7. i bought master of the art in chicago last weekend, along with this welcome reissue on the same label:

  10. #1 - Certainly this belongs in the political forum. #2 - Per Jim: "Please, when posting an article from another website, include a hyperlink to that site. Also, don't quote the full article, but rather the first few paragraphs and then put a link at the bottom for folks who want to read more to do so."
  11. for those unfortunate people who live in areas not frequented by top jazz acts, have you ever considered getting together and hosting a free jazz concert at your local library featuring some local talent? I've seen some very enjoyable jazz/improvised music in some unlikely venues: art gallery, VFW, YMCA, etc. your local public radio station might be a good source of support and free advertising for such an event. hell, i think it might be fun to bring some old swing recordings to a retirement community and play them for the residents. for me, some of the satisfaction i get from music performance is sharing that experience with others, whether it's in a club, at home with my dad, or even talking about it on the o-board. music is like laughter - it's much better when shared.

  13. the autopsy is already underway. minor or not, the fall was duly noted and paramedics were called. the paramedics never saw her, however, having been told they were not needed and sent away. as jack said, there is speculation she may have had an undiagnosed preexisting condition. i'd hate to be the person or persons who called off the paramedics. their feelings of guilt must be enormous.
  14. very sad. From the Los Angeles Times Natasha Richardson dies at 45; award-winning actress from famous theatrical family By John Horn March 19, 2009 Natasha Richardson, the luminous British actress from one of the world's great acting families, whose performances ranged from the high-brow drama "The Handmaid's Tale" to the lightweight comedy "The Parent Trap" and the Tony-winning Broadway production of "Cabaret," died Wednesday. She was 45. The wife of "Schindler's List" actor Liam Neeson and daughter of actress Vanessa Redgrave and the late film director Tony Richardson died at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York. The cause of death was not announced, but she had been hospitalized after suffering a devastating brain injury while skiing Monday. "Liam Neeson, his sons and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha," said a statement released by publicist Alan Nierob. "They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time." Richardson was injured at Mont Tremblant, a luxury resort in Canada. The actress was taking a lesson on a beginner's run near the bottom of the ski area and was not wearing a helmet when she had what first appeared to be a minor accident. She initially reported that she was well, but soon started to complain of a headache. Hours after the fall, the star of a number of acclaimed stage plays -- including "Anna Christie," "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "Closer" -- slipped into unconsciousness, and she was transported Tuesday from a Montreal hospital back to New York, where she was surrounded by family and friends. rest of story
  15. yeah, like i can concentrate on what he's saying, yelling or not, with your signature photo staring me in the face.
  16. yes! i can't remember how i first heard about collins, but i really like this cd, which features kenny barron, joe locke, rufus reid, and ben riley. also check out collins' recording reality tonic, with frank lacy. both discs can be purchased used for just a few bucks on amazon.
  17. i'm really sorry to hear that. we'll be sure to say something obnoxious about you in a toast.
