when i was a musician in the mid-70's to 80's, i paid the bills at different times by working as a car washer in an auto dealership, an assembly line worker in a picture frame factory, an undercover security officer in a department store, and a door-to-door fuller brush salesman.

in case you're interested, these dubious reissues have been the topic of discussion before on this board: spanish blue notes

from the american-digital website: "Accelerated aging tests show that MAM Gold can be used as a reliable storage media for more than 300 years. " so my question is this: are you planning on being around in 2305? p.s. i don't buy crappy cdrs either. i find the klones (manufactured by mitsui) suit my needs quite well.

there's somethin' about this new guy that's fishy. i say we keep a close eye on him.

i believe it has. check their website for a history of the club: village vanguard

i've also enjoyed a few of the horne mysteries. while i agree they're not pulitzer material, where else can you find intelligent fiction that contains that much insight into the jazz world? great vacation books. i plan on reading all of them.

has anyone here been shushed by lorraine gordon besides kevin b. and me? obviously, illinois jacquet didn't like it one bit! p.s. i won't make it to the anniversary celebration, but i will be going the following week to see the jeremy pelt quintet. long live the vanguard!

there seems to be quite a range of prices for these discs. amazon sells the 50-pack for $18, while office depot has the same spindle for $31! note: there's a $4 rebate that expires on 1/31. there might be a question about the maximum burning speed for these discs. here's what one person wrote on epinions: "I called Verbatim to ask about getting a refund and they agreed to send me 4 new discs to replace the ones that were coasters. Then they told me that these discs will not burn reliably at speeds faster than 12x! I said, "What?! It doesn't say that anywhere on the box!" But the Verbatim rep on the phone insisted that was why I had the 4 bad burns, and if I burned the other ones, they'd be fine if I burned at 12x or less. I did, and in fact did have no more coasters. "

i really enjoyed traffic's intelligent mix of different stles during their heyday. i was unaware of capaldi's humanitarian efforts later in life. it's heartwarming to learn how musicians like capaldi (and george harrison, bob geldoff, etc.) who share so much through their art, find other ways to give to the people.

why don't we post on the earlier, more respectful thread 7/4 began and let this one sink to the bottom where it belongs: here's the link: capaldi obit

there's two big differences between the jazz kat and aric: 1) jazz cat is only 15 (that's not meant as a putdown, jk) 2) it took jazz cat only 30 minutes to accept responsibility for his actions and apologize. that's something aric has never been willing to do, no matter how much time he's had.

it's good to know someone else besides me appreciates ms. day's talents.

betcha don't mind when she points! that's the last one, promise.

sorry, i couldn't help myself.

i thought i'd pass this information along in case anyone is looking for sleeves. american-digital, a popular company among some board members, is having a sale where you get 100 free if you buy 3 packs of 100: american digital sale

only if you keep those evil thoughts to yourself. if you communicate them in a manner that leads the intended victim to believe you plan to carry out that threat, then that's considered assault, and it's a crime. there's no indication from the story that they're necessarily going to a "juvie home." still, i agree with the idea that this matter should be addressed from an emotional, as well as legal, perspective.

i can't hate the three sounds. hate is a strong emotion. i can only feel hate for things or people that evoke strong emotion in me. that's why i don't like the three sounds at all. they evoke no emotion in me, fresh or otherwise.

the original theme was written and recorded by quincy jones in 1972. donaldson recorded the tune in april of 1973 and it appeared on his sassy soul album for blue note.

that is incorrect. i know for sure that the discography in the thad jones-mel lewis mosaic listed rejected titles that were not included in the box.

oh! well, that's very different...nevermind.

unless i'm mistaken, these tracks are not included in the box set. they are listed in the discography only.

count me among the many fans of this comedian's sometimes whiny, always sarcastic approach to humor. still, i don't quite understand the title of this thread. if his sexual orientation doesn't matter (and i believe you when you say it doesn't), and you're not asking the question, why is it featured so prominently?
