Hardly ever, not since I've discovered the Internet. The shit's out there for free, to be shared. "Grey market" labels are another matter, maybe, depends on who's doing it, I suppose. If I think there's some kind of money going somewhere where it needs to go somehow at some level, I'll allow myself the rationalizaton principle. Yeah, that's the ticket! Seriously, my tolereance of and personal indulgence in participating in the purchase of flat-out bootlegs such as the one mentioned above is much less than it used to be. Between good friends and impartial servers, there's not too much of a need to buy that which is not meant to be sold anyway, not anymore. I feel much better trading stolen goods than buying them. Maybe somebody needs to hip FD to the wonderful world of cybertrading. He can save his money and his soul!

http://www.villagevoice.com/music/0520,davis3,64047,22.html Illicit Cherry For Sale on the Dark Side of the Web, We're Not Telling Where Don Cherry With Pharoah Sanders 1964 by Francis Davis May 17th, 2005 3:59 PM Don Cherry With Pharoah Sanders 1964 (no label) The pope's car, Britney Spears's home pregnancy test, a grilled cheese sandwich bearing the image of the Virgin Mary, stolen credit cards, guns, teenage girls—you can find anything you want on the Internet, if you follow enough links. I even buy soap, toothpaste, and cat food online, now that stores always seem to be out of my preferred brands (hey, since when did we become the former Soviet Union?). Music too. Disappointed that the live Wayne Shorter due from Verve in June includes nothing from last year's tour with Herbie Hancock, Dave Holland, and Brian Blade? Looking for Coltrane and Archie Shepp together in Chicago in 1966? It's all for sale on the dark side of the Web. My latest find is an unreleased Don Cherry studio session from 1964 with Pharoah Sanders, Joe Scianni, David Izenson, and J.C. Moses—three tunes and one alternate take, presumably recorded for Savoy, only 20 minutes long and in sub-fidelity, but well worth it for Cherry's fractured trumpet rhymes, the rhythm section's bounce, the early glimpse of Sanders (then still a muscular hard bopper), and the sensation of eavesdropping on free jazz at a critical point in its evolution. I'd like to see the crooks selling this and other unauthorized material punished to the full extent of the law—now that I have mine. WTF? This chump is BUYING this stuff? That's wrong is SO many ways...

Then I'm very relieved, although not in a Baja Marimba Band kind of way. Check that...brb.

"Jazz" as in 4/4 walking bass, poppadiddlyBOP drumming, etc.

They call me Gutzilla... I checked it out, and it's...pretty funny. Jack's singing this beautiful, melancholy, rubato ballad with a really nice string arrangement, and he sounds for all the world like... BOBBY VINTON!!! inDEED!

Yes. It is!

4 discs that hit most all of the highlights, including those of the Jazz Crusaders. If you don't like compilations, the whole 71-79 run was pretty nice, from to . The production got slicker and slicker during this run, but always in a good way, I think. "Jazz" was pretty much out the window by then, but sophistication wasn't. But pretty much all of the albums from those years do what they set out to do really well. Live in Japan is a nice set too.

That's wild! Was it actually rehearsal takes, Bill, or album excerpts edited to resemble a rehearsal?

Mockingbirds are notoriously protective. I've never seen them actually attack, but they will dive bomb yer ass pretty fearlessly. And yer dog, too. But it's always a brushback pitch instead of a beanball, at least what I've seen. Haven't had problems with the grackles yet. But they sure are big. And ugly. And LOUD. Boo to the grackle!

Auditioning for the Baja Marimba Band. ← One needs to know that rather obscure reference (thanks Chuck!), but if one does that's really funny! ← Bill Fenohr, actually, but I'm relieved to know that at least one person got it.

Hope he's still cool.

$5 worth of money, $50 worth of meal.

Ok, my first reaction is that I liked the old quoting interface better, where the quote appeared in a seperate box below the response box, but this is learnable, for sure.

Ah, I see!

What board?

Further proof that Rogers & Hart were cooler than Rogers & Hammerstein.!

And I believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows. Shouldn't that be I believe that for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows? Seems like it should be, but hell, I dunno. Who wrote that song, anyway? Lessee...according to AMG, it was Ervin Drake, Irvin Graham, Jimmy Shirl, Al Stillman. Geez, triteness by committee. NOT cool!
