Same here. I can go on indefinitely...

Oh yeah - when I do the exit/re-enter thing, I'm logged in, but the cookie seems to logs me in from an earlier visit. Fora that have been fully read now show as having new items posted since my "last visit". Yet... Threads that had been read before the snafu still show as having been read. Weird...

RON!!!

Michael Brown's, most likely...

Are you sure it weren't somebody's head?

IE6 w/SP2 & XP ith all the updates. Guess I'm the only one to whom this is happening?

Yeah, I'll do your laundry in exchange for bootlegs. Dusting, however, requires video.

This has been going on for a few weeks now. I'm going back and forth between threads and all of a sudden I'm logged off. Totally. I go back to the page from whence I came and I'm logged on. Go back to where I wanted to go in the first palce and sometimes I'm still logged on, sometomes off. Close the window, reopen it, and I'm logged on. Always. But do I stay logged on for every navigation? Not always. No rhyme or reason to any of this, no patterns, no predictability. Anybody else having this happen to them?

http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=600321 That concert has been released in several forms. One of the essential documents, afaic. All the recordings from that tour are pretty damn heavy, but Paris is, for my money, the heaviest of them all. Trane was totally uncensored that night, and there's very little like in in the annals of recorded music. Do I exaggerate? Perhaps, but I think not.

The photos of Tina playing at The Blue Morocco (one dated 1956, the other 1966 - can that possibly be right?) in the Mosaic set have long had me salivating for the discovery of some private recordings of a club date or two. The photo dated 1966 is particularly evocative of a man in the zone.

James Moody.

He did, and you beat me to it.

Not to discount the possibility, but I'm under the impression that Woody's eyesight was never good to begin with. I'm sure that the nature of his habbits did nothing to delay any eventual blindness that his condition would have produced either.

You always hear rumors. Woody was not living a healthy lifestyle, if you know what I mean, and that just fueled speculation about what (or who) might have caused the fall. I'd not worry about it, really. Nobody knows for sure, and the end result was the tragic same either way.

And that is probably as it should be!

An unfortunate choice of words for this particular thread...

Dude - I live in Plano. about 20 miles north of Dallas, and there ain't no gas to be had right now. At least not as of this morning. People are going nuts filling up before there's a shortage, which is, of course, creating a shortage anyway. Go figure.

I think that these interview clips are priceless documentation. You get to hear, among other things, Simmons going into detail about his practice routines w/Dolphy. Donald's brief comment about her kids having had to do without a lot of things because they've never made the money in the music that they'd hoped for speaks volumes, and breaks my heart. Ditto Sonny's comment that he was sure that somebody would recognize her talent and give her some work apart/away from him. Sonny's rather blunt challenges to those he claim don't really know how to play their instrument (or as he calls it, "appliance") is as righteous as it is bold. This is a proud man who has worked hard to do what it is that he does, and he's got next to nothing to show for it. He's damn near defiant in his refusal to give up or otherwise compromise his standards. And so on. You get a real feel for the people who made this music. Reading it is one thing, but hearing it just makes it that much more real. Different strokes, I guess. CT, that's your interview in the liners? Excellent! Now wea ll know who you really are!

Some rather interesting, spirited & idyosyncratic interview excerpts, mostly from sonny, but a few from the great Barbara Donald as well. Sonny Simmons is no mere "honker and squealer" (and in the interviews, he has some rather strong words for and about those who are). The cat can play his instrument at a very high level. He's one of the true giants of this music, I think, somebody with a deep understanding of what it is he's playing, as well as exactly why he's playing it. Barbara Donald is incredible, as are the rest of the musicians on these sessions. No new music here, but good lord, this is choice stuff. Fans of the freer BN dates of Andrew Hill, Sam Rivers, etc., or of things like Stanley Cowell's Briliant Circles who haven't discovered this music should do themselves a favor and do so ASAP. This music might at times be a little freer than those, but the connection is strong nevertheless. And the interviews paint a vivid portrait of the man. By turns stubborn, idealistic, earthy, and idiomatic, his words are unique, but ultimately totally sensible. Exactly like his playing. Best price I've found by far is here: http://ssl.adhost.com/jazzloft/baskets/pos.cfm?CD=7182 $20.99 + shipping. Carpe diem.

No, but it led me to here http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessi...rque%20Isotopes , which does!

Ok, I bought the LP when it was first issued (long story...), but had totally slept on this reissue until a few days ago. What a NICE package this is. They've added enough extra material to make a single LP set into nearly a double-LP, and don't none of it suck. Then there's Ron Carter - this has got to be one of his best post-Miles outings, period. All the floody-doody crap he like to do, he does with taste and restraint here, and it works. Yeah, the title piece is slick, and yeah, Steve Gadd proves problematic on occasion, but nevertheless, this is good stuff. Hall plays superbly throughout. And TWO takes of "Rock Skippin'..." a tune that wasn't even on the original, hey, I'll take that! Recommended if you like this kind of thing and don't already have it.

Houston's a maritime city, among other things!
