WHOA! Who is/was Lodi Carr?

HB, KB!!!!

My damn Comcast cable internet's been requiring frequent power cycles ever since Saturday or else it would've been sooner! Can an AAJ restraining order be far off?

Miami's gonna be pumped for the home opener. If they're going to win one, that should be it. I can see it.

Credit unions are owned by their members. If you have an account, you're a part-owner. If you find one that's insured, well-managed, and solvent, they're a better deal for the average consumer than are banks. Lower intrest on loans, higher yields on savings, and a friendlier attitude towards "special needs" (within reason, of course). As with banks, the primary objective is to serve the owners. Which with credit union is you. Of course, this is all a generalization. Some credit unions are little shops of financial horrors. But all things being equal, I've always preferred to use credit unions over banks.

Jeesh...

Well, ok, yeah, cool, whatever. Actually, the point in posting this was to let it be known that the board was getting a little more expousre.

Which audience? The audience who's only/mostly interested in reissues and/or retreads? I'd say that that audience is pretty much already connected. It's a small one, but hell, what do you expect? The audience who wants to hear challenging new music that doesn't replicate the old? There's an audience for that, even if it is smallish and fragmented, but everytime you call most of that music "jazz", cries of righteous indignation are heard across the Land Of The Guardians. The audience who wants to hear entertaining instrumental music that's not too unfamiliar/complicated/confrontational? That type of jazz is already pretty well connected with its audience, be it Smooth or Jam or whatever. The audience who wants jazz to serve in the role of Official American Cultural Triumph? Again, connected. Lincoln Center's doing good business. Jazz as we've known and loved it is pretty much dead as a vibrant musical form of today. Evolution works. But jazz as a mindset/spiritual vibe will never die. Hell, it existed before jazz as a musical form ever did, and it lives on today. It's the jazz audience that needs to reconnect with today, not jazz music with its audience. I could someday maybe even be persuaded under the right circumstances to say that it's the audience that's killing the music, not the other way around. Do we want our children to know and appreciate the great musical and spiritual legacy of jazz? Damn straight we do. But what do we want them to do with that knowledge and appreciation? Regurgitate it in perpetuity, or do something of their own with it? We say that we want the latter, but then too often recoil in horror when the results aren't comfortably similar to what's gone before. Bodies dying is natural and healthy. Spirits dying isn't.

Wellsir, lessee... You got a supposedly mint condition set of music that you know you dig at a better price than you've ever seen it before. I'd say you got screwed, dude.
