Any chance that Mickey Roker would remember that/those gig/gigs?

Yeah, condom machines on the wall, Facebook pisso n the floor, pimps & dealers hanging around looking for suckers, er... business, wide-eyed innocents all impressed by how "exciting" it all is...it's exactly like going to the bathroom in a club. Except that once you finish your business and navigate your way back out, there,s not a band playing. It's just some internet radio application.

Seriosuly, I've heard stories of Gibson coming in high & tight at old-timers games. The guy really don't play!

Bob Gibson still don't mess around. I'd sleep with one eye open if I was you.

Just wondering how "definite" either 1971 and/or "circa late 1960s" are, as well as the odds that that exact band plays two different parties several years apart, given the "circumstances" of some of the players... Not impossible, but...

That's too slow!

You laugh, but I think Donna Lee would sound super hip played at about 350 bpm over this kind of groove. I tried to do it with a combo last year but the guitar player was more interested in being an exact copy of Django Reinhardt and nobody could play the head that fast anyway. Something sorta kinda like that: Now that's not particularly good, but it's because it's not being done particularly well, not because of what is being done in and of itself. (and those w/long memories might remember the Decoding Society doing something vaguely similar with this same tune...)

Is that a Warne Marsh reference?

Also, consider that not only are we being presented with a new "distribution model" (with which I have no real problems at all, the internet is definitely my friend), but also a new "ownership" model - what do you pay for, and what do you ultimately have to show for it. This is mainstream product and distribution we're talking about, remember, not some uber-cyber-collector's underground playground. Believe me - unless and until Jesus come back to reign over the earth for 1000 Perfect Years (or something similar), things will be owned, and there will always be games - some legit, some trickstery - played to get those who own to transfer their ownership. Anybody who thinks that they can just not own anything and always depend of having all their needs met by paying for services is a damn fool. Music has been devalued in society at large, I think we can agree on that. It's now viewed as another disposable convenience. Well, ok, a lot of it is. But when we get to the point where people for whom music does have some real personal value, some intrinsic meaning, finding it no big deal to just let other people own it and they just drop in for a cup of coffee and some tunes, and hey, see ya' later, travellin' light, doncha know., love that music, glad you have it...well ok, next time, and all that, well, sorry, that's just weak. That's just expecting to be served. But here's the kicker - people who actually have servants have the leverage of actually owning the shit that the servants serve. This "new ownership model" is about us expecting to be served without owning anything as leverage. So really, who is serving whom, and who is the real owner and who is the real servant? Who has the ultimate hand and who can at any time end up getting the back of it - and have no hand to use in return? These are not complicated questions.

Because the only way I can truly guarantee that is to own the site myself, or to at least have heavy-duty administrative powers over it. So the question then becomes, "how much do I really want/need to own, and how much can I live without owning, just having access to, either in memory on on some kind of a jukebox somewhere?" That's a question worth asking and answering. But the question "why own anything at all?"...I mean, c'mon...what kind of muddleheaded breatharian-esque question is that?

No, no recording date is given. Is 1969 a proven date or a speculative one?

I can see the appeal of cloud storage as a backup, yes, but as only one form of backup and never as the sole means of storage.

Ok, this is not that. This is this: http://www.popsike.com/Jazz-At-The-Lymans-private-pressing-Lp-Zoot-Sims-etc/250752661304.html I'd wager that they're all from the same source, though, that LP & this private pressing.

Nearly. He made one track in Norwalk in November 1971, with Sonny Red, Sam Jones & Mickey Roker, issued on an album called 'Jazz at the Lyman's'. Lord's discography says this has no label or catalogue number. I don't know who else was on the album. MG I have an album with that exact personnel called Live At The Connecticut Jazz Party (Chiaroscuro CR 2030). Released in 1981. Might this be that? If so, it's available on CD: http://www.amazon.com/Live-The-Connecticut-Jazz-Party/dp/B00005QSRN

Look, I get that the world is overpopulated and that a lot of people don't want to make babies any more, but, really, if you're essentially leasing this music instead of actually owning it, if you pay for it to have it at your leisure, just keep in mind that the presence of the items that please you at your leisure is not under your control at all. One day, you wake up and the cloud is not there. On a good day, it's a technological glitch, on a bad day, it's The New World Order deciding that THIS is what you WILL hear from here on out, but either way, you've paid this money, and then what do have to show for it when the other guy doesn't have it for you? Memories and a reamed ass, that's what you'll have. Product and packaging and clutter and yadayada yeah, we all need to "simplify", but use your heads - you should always own your own data and should always be able to access it on your terms. If you don't you're a sucker. That, and there really is no way that a business model built on minimal investment by the user and minimal return to the artist is going to sustainably stimulate new musics. It takes money for people to live, it takes money to buy equipment, it takes money to get a project (or even, GASP, a real live working band!!!) underway (and even more money to keep it going), and it sure as hell takes money to actually create "product". This combination of "well, I don't really BUY stuff anymore but I sure to like to EXPLORE" and a format that pays crumbs, where the hell is the money coming from out of THAT, huh? Oh, right, just look for the money elsewhere. Where, exactly? Government? Fuck that. "Arts agencies" Fuck that too. Kickstarter, etc. Yeah, there's GOLD in them that hills. NOT! No, people need to keep buying stuff. Some kind of stuff. Not "rent", buy. Go ahead and don't be afraid to own something for yourself. I guarandamntee you, if you don't own it, somebody else will, and they'll be more than happy to let you use it on therms that do them all the favors, long-term. Look, I get "simplify". I jut spend a week reorganizing most of my collection, so yeah, I know I got too much "stuff". But that can be remedied by culling and converting. Under no circumstances would I consider just getting rid of it all in any form and keeping it all on some "cloud". No way. I might end up with several multi-TB HDs, but ain't nothing ending up on no damn cloud.

I'd settle for people just having their own distinctively individual tones and time feels, And an equally distinctively personal sens of what timbres and textures to frame that with. Not innovation, just some basic personality. Character. A unique identity. Innovate the person, not the "style". Get that in place, then we can talk. Or even better, not talk. Just listen.

here we go again...

And quite apart from that, my god. When of a mind, they were Rulers Of This And All Others. Andhere, they are filmed so being.

Good to see R.A. Dickey get the 20. Always liked him when he pitched here, nice guy. In the conversation for the NL Cy Young, I'd have to think.

None other than The Hero of the Newport Jazz Festival! Listen at the very end, during the applause...Duke calls "Cottontail" for the next tune. :g :g

need a SS. Yeah? Yeah...they got one too....the personality challenged(Just like his older bro) Stephen Drew..but I may have been wrong about really needing one, they are really on a roll...Baltimore and the A's are the most unlikely teams to be playing so well coming into September... Oakland is a bunch of f-in' bulldogs. If it weren't us whose legs they were trying to chew off, I'd be all GO OAKLAND. But can't do that, not now. St\ill, them some tough bastards, Oakland is.

Is that why the cover tuned green?
