This arose from a discussion I had with some of the locals at a popular used cd shop in Boston (Looney Tunes) last year. The criteria for nominees were 1) it had to be a band, not a solo act (singer plus whoever); 2) it had to be an american outfit (that disqualified the beatles, stones, etc.); and 3) the largest number of great single song releases (and that eliminated nominees that recorded your favorite album). needless to say, these criteria were set just for the sake of this discussion. no prejudice was implied against those who didn't fall within that category. I'll admit, CCR didin't immediately come to my mind. But after someone said it and we bantered back and forth, the consensus was that CCR ruled in this domain. Want proof, how about: Bad Moon Rising, Down On The Corner, Fortunate Son, Green River, Proud Mary, Long As I Can See The Light, Lookin' Out My Back Door, Run Through The Jungle, Travelin' Band, Up Around The Bend, Who'll Stop The Rain, Have You Ever Seen The Rain, Hey Tonight, Sweet Hitch-Hiker, Someday Never Comes, I Heard It Through The Grapevine... I'm sure others can name a few more of their favorites. BTW, I think Cosmos's Factory is one of the ten best american rock albums of the 70's, although this is probably a more contestable opinion.

bullshit. creedence is the best american singles band that ever was.

I can't stand the ones with icing and sprinkles. Heck, I'm not 10 anymore. Yep, just plain ol' blueberry for me. Recently, I tried a new product: Quaker Fruit & Oatmeal Toastables toaster pastries. The pastry crust is made with real oatmeal (naturally) and thus has more taste to it than Pop Tarts. You might want to give them a try. They come in the following flavors: Iced Strawberry, Iced Apple Cinnamon and Brown Sugar, Strawberry, Apple Cinnamon and Brown Sugar, Iced Blueberry, and Cherry Cobbler (my personal favorite).

As the son of a Mercedes dealer, I should take offense to your remark. However, at this time I cannot afford to as I am still driving a Toyota!

gracias!

oh well, the listing for this cd on barnes & noble's website credits young as the composer for all 16 tracks!

Thanks to all who have helped with some of my other discography questions. This one pertains to the compilation released as Gumbo! in 1999. I know that it contains 3 dates: Pony Poindexter's original Gumbo!, unreleased tracks from the session that produced Poindexter's Pony Poindexter Plays the Big Ones, and an unreleased session with Booker Ervin, Larry Young, and Jerry Thomas. What I don't know is this: 1) Who produced these sessions? 2) What does "Supervision by Ozzie Cadena" mean (as written on the back of the compilation)? 3) Where were these sessions recorded and by whom? Some sources say RVG at his Englewood Cliffs studio. Others say they were recorded in NYC, possibly by Ozzie. Again, thanks in advance.

Hey all, I'm looking for info on Ronnie Cuber's Xanadu recording called Cuber Libre. I have the track titles and times, but I need personnel, recording date, location, producer, engineer, etc. And if anyone has a scan of the album's cover, then I'll probably with joy!

i dig her too. here's the one to look for:

as far as i know, you've got two choices: the mosaic and the jrvg (tocj-9475). early records has the import for 2000 yen, which is about 14.68 euros plus shipping. there's always the slim chance that someone will ebay an open copy of the jrvg, but i'd recommend you go for the mosaic too. in the end, it's a better bargain.

i really like the aptly titled healing the pain. very emotional stuff. i also recommend people check out the collectables reissue of my baby, a soulful 1965 recording for vee-jay featuring green with wynton kelly, donald byrd, jimmy heath, larry ridley, and jimmy cobb. here's a link to some sound clips: my baby

challenging? yes. rewarding? incredibly so. and much more so than most of miles' later work imo. even if someone did have trouble fully enjoying this material at first, i still wouldn't hesitate recommending it. i have no doubt that in the long run they will come to cherish it. how's that for an endorsement!

if i'm not mistaken, the order of the tracks in the box set is chronological and therefore it differs from the track sequence of the original issues/reissues.

Yes, Gordon plays a musician named Rolando. It's a small part, but I recall that he plays piano in one of the scenes. I like this film a lot. It was produced by Penny Marshall and features great performances by Robin Williams and Robert DeNiro.

there's music included too?!?

I'm very much looking forward to another jazz weekend in the City March 19-21. Here's my itinerary: FRIDAY NIGHT At the Jazz Standard: Charles Tolliver Big Band, with Gary Bartz, James Spaulding, Billy Harper, Craig Handy, Howard Johnson, Earl Gardner, David Guy, David Weiss, Leron Thomas, Clark Gayton, Jason Jackson, Aaron Johnson, George Cables, Cecil McBee, & Victor Lewis. At the Blue Note: ANOTHER KIND OF BLUE-THE LATIN SIDE OF MILES DAVIS featuring Conrad Herwig, Brian Lynch, Dave Valentin, Mario Rivera, Edsel Gomez, John Benitez, Robby Ameen, & Richie Flores. SATURDAY NIGHT At the Iridium: MONKSILAND-THELONIOUS MONK TRIBUTE with Steve Lacy, Roswell Rudd, & Dave Douglas. At Smoke: Louis Hayes & Buster Williams Quartet featuring Vincent Herring. Of course, I'll be trying to nab those hard-to-find imports and oop's during the day and visit some of my favorite eateries (Virgil's, Amy Ruth’s, and Brother Jimmy’s BBQ). If anyone is interested in hooking up while I'm in town, feel free to PM me. B)

Sonny's scheduled to perform at the Lincoln Center Out-of-Doors Festival on August 10th.

Not just Jeff Beck, but this short-lived lineup featured Jimmy Page on guitar as well! It's really a fluke that they appeared in the movie, though. The director really wanted the Who (and the guitar-smashing Townsend), but for whatever reason, they didn't make it. BTW, guitar buffs will notice that the guitar Beck destroys is not a valuable Les Paul, his regular axe, but a much cheaper Gibson.

Can't get rid of this cat, named Cartman. He don't waste time with chicken pot pie, he goes straight for the java!

and it ain't oop neither. what's going on paul?

there's also a used copy on amazon.com for under $8.

believe me, there's no love lost on aric in my house. but didn't this infamous "trade" agreement boil down to this: "i'll trade you this cd for a copy of MJ that you plan to steal from starbucks." if so, it's hard to sympathize with someone who made a contract to receive stolen goods. when you think about it, it's not surprising that someone who planned to steal would also welch on a "deal."

i wonder if the problem lies with mosaic? i ask because i shipped a cd via air letter post to a board member in canada recently. it usually takes less than a week, but for some reason it took almost 3 weeks to arrive. that's nothing, however, compared to a cd i shipped first class to an address here in the u.s. last november. believe it or not, it finally arrived on feb. 12!!!

i don't know if this will be helpful to you, but readerware aw allows you to catalog your cd collection with a simple bar code scan. there is a barcode reader called cuecat that goes for less than $10 on ebay that is supposed to be quite effective.
