  2. I agree, a mentor is needed. Shaving your testicles is not a job for the unseasoned. These players cost a lot of money, one stray nick and that money's down the drain. Protect the investments, I say, teach the youth in the way which you would have them go.
  3. Also, there's the whole time/place thing...at the time it there was a big "wow, after all the pop and fusion, they can still play!" aura about the tour and the records, which was really exploitative of how superficial people's understanding of the whats and whys about what had been happening, but it worked. That tour asked and got big bucks iirc. It's not the records that could have been made in 1969, but otoh, put those two in a duet setting in 1969 and I don't know that you'd get any kind of a record, much less a big money tour. So yes, OK music, very expansive, just don't expect any kind of edginess or breakthroughs or anything out of either guy that hadn't already happened. All that to say that it's "historic" but not in the way the hype would have had you believe.
  4. It's ok. There was a companion record on Chick's label at the time that was also ok, maybe even a tad more than this one.
  5. Kinda gives it that roadhouse vibe, eh?
  6. Seems like a nice place to visit.

  8. Sarah Silverman has a gig at WinStar coming up I think it's got all the ingredients for a lifetime memory, but WinStar itself is just so fucking,,,, gaudy that I can't bring myself to buy a ticket. It's not like Vegas or something where there's an environment, it's just...drive north on 75 through pretty much nothing, cross the state line into Oklahoma, dive past a porn shop, drive through a few minutes more of nothing, and then up pops this vast expanse of tacky that in the day looks like a ginormous prison, only without the barbed wire fences. It takes a minute or two to drive all the way past it and then you're right back into unpopulated Oklahoma. I don't know if it's WinStar that uses "Stay" in their commercials, but the notion of just going there creeps me out. Actually staying creates an image of volunteering for snuff porn. And don't get me wrong, I do enjoy me some games of chances. But not like that.

  10. Found an absolutely pristine copy yesterday for five bucks. For my taste, Bolcom plays these pieces "just right", not too heavy, not too light.

  17. I am. It's used for a casino ad here and has become grotesque to me. That and Jackson Browne.
  18. Wow, I had no idea. Thanks for that list. I see Albany on there more than once. That label....

    Donal Fox?

    I got that duet album in this week, haven't gotten it opened yet though. By "literature", I meant "classical". I came to him on a "classical" record and noticed that the few records of his own that I've seen made no bones about paying more than a casual attention to at least some of that repertoire. Seems like a pretty interesting guy, "local" in terms of market optics, but hell, what does that really mean these days, not much. Really like that clip, btw. Fox is...doggedly motivic from start to finish, and I like how that holds together while still keeping an "energy" energy.

    Donal Fox?

    No, jazz. Although...does he play "the literature" on record? It seems like he really blurs the lines, which is OK with me.
  21. Don't know how much of it has been recorded for commercial consumption, but here's a recording that includes one of Baker's "classical" compositions. https://www.amazon.com/Anderson-Baker-Fox-Wilson-Chamber/dp/B0000030HD Anybody know of any more?
  22. Well, here's your chance to put it on one!
