  1. And not at relevant to the T.A.M.I. show, but Quincy has always been quite complimentary of her skills.
  2. Fooled me! I mean, it seemed plausible.
  3. No shit. Damn!
  4. Is she by any chance related to Lana Cantrell? Serious question.
  5. He aws on the Benny Goodman/Moscow band/album & contributed a few nice charts therein. Are there any other documents of his big band writing?
  6. And there was this from 1967: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHUNl7dMP8o
  7. File under "Acid Jazz" in a very broad sense...
  8. Revelation is in the loop now, eh? EX-cellent!
  9. yeah, these have been totally off my radar. Are they boots or what?
  10. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?VISuperSize&item=260571559263 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?VISuperSize&item=260571559263 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?VISuperSize&item=250595347353
  11. ...except that a 4th and an 11th are, technically, different intervals. You could have a Csus 9 (#11) - C E F G Bb D F# (with an interval of a minor 9th between the F & the F#). Why you would, I don't know, other than as a highly specific sound, but still...the possibility exists, is "allowed for". very anal after a point, all this is, and the only reason I've learned it is that they told me I should know the rules before I broke them, and that was a compromise between totally making up my own rules not really knowing anything...
  12. I also consider it their best. 1/4 of it showed up on side two of 'I Sing The Body Electric', which is their best US release to me... Technically, that side was an edited "medley" off the whole album.
  13. I hate to get all technical, but the chord is either a C7b5 or a C7#11. Part of the differentiation is functional, and part of it may be completely arbitrary, even if the latter is never admitted. In most practical situations, you're generally safer using the latter; although depending on how it's used in the context of the tune and the melody note, the former may be more appropriate. But I've never encountered the #4 designation - that I can recall, at least. The C7#11 implies that the 9th is also present in the chord (C E G Bb D F#)...the b5 implies that there is not a regular 5th present in the chord (so the scale would be C D E F Gb A Bb)...the #4 implies that the natural 5th is present (so the scale would be C D E F# G A Bb)...also, a "classically trained" string play would interpret, say, a Gb & a F# slightly differently pitch wise due to overtones & the relative "meaning" of each note to the key center.. But yes, you can have a C7#4 chord - C E F# G Bb. Unless you're really anal theoretically (and some people are...), it's more useful as a specific sound than anything else, but in theory (no pun intended) it does set up a different scale than a C7 #11 or a C7 b5
  14. Given the difficulties that we both undoubtedly present, the odds of any good woman tackling that challenge is highly unlikely...
  15. We both have the love of a good woman. What else do we really need?
  16. I would if I was...not even close....but yeah, it feels kind of good, even if it's an insult!
  17. Dry I understand...but this has been a drought of almost a decade now... RAIN, PLEASE!!!!!
  18. Wow. Resentment towards individuals here based on...what, exactly? Differences of opinions? Strength of opinons? Courage of convictions! Just what causes one to be so...whatever as to make one so personally hostile towards those with whom one has fundamental disagreements? There's heated disagreement & then there's just flat-out weirdness, unresolved authority issues, something besides just "seeing things differently". Don't know, really don't care. I'm happy to discuss, argue, whatever from now until the cows come home (or don't) - but based on the music and one's personal opinions and passions stemming from that. But to take it there is...not nice. And it's really weak.
  19. Then again, if I comb my hair a few strands at a time, I can always find "new twists"...
  20. There's two parts to "recreate", though - "re" & "create". The implication to me is that there is always a balance between the two at play, and like all balances...attention should be paid! Similarly - if the balance goes too far either way, you get either all "re" or all "create". Yin & Yang, complimentary opposites, much like Failure & Success. To everything there is a season, etc.
