Journey Through an Electric Tube Artist: Mike Mainieri Journey Through an Electric Tube is not likely to be high on anyone's list, just as Mainieri is an obscure vibist. Journey may well be a cash-in on Dave Pike's success with The Doors of Perception and similar works. Journey features excellent ideas and playing and of course Sonny Lester's top direction. You have female vocals on two tracks, bossa nova on one, some fuzztone here, and "Allow Your Mind to Wander" is a 14-minute jam. It is all low-volume, pleasant, and never-abrasive, however. Call it gently experimental, forward-looking without being too forward or pretentious. — Tony Wilds

Sure! I'll trade you my '66 Mays!

The beginning of spring training?

Also listening. It's been years since I checked out SKIES OF AMERICA, and they're playing it now, and I'm LOVING it!

Me too!

Well, if you want to reverse the sideman-to-leader progression, you could probably find a way to fit Mike Mainieri in there somewhere. And the tempting answer is Ramsey Lewis, although I don't remember "Sun Goddess" being a #1 pop hit.

Surely, you're not going to just leave us hanging with this ... Yeah, SURELY not! Who does this leave of either Ellington siblings or offspring? Nobody? Mercedes is Duke's granddaughter, right?

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!

Indeed!

No! Can you post it?

Johnny Nash.

Not piss-your-pants-like-a-little-baby-man excited, but don't miss a single day checking the mail, if you know what I mean.

From Dusty Groove (the BASTRADS!): Various -- Take Five -- A Collection Of Various Interpretations . . . CD . . . $15.99 (Item: 80678) Roof Music/Trocadero (Germany), 1960s/1970s/1990s Condition: New Copy Was there ever a greater jazz hit than "Take Five"? It's hard to think not -- especially when hearing this sweet little set! The master compilers at Roof Music have come up with a new take on the compilation -- instead of "different songs by different artists", they're up for "one song by different artists" -- and this time around, the song is especially great! "Take Five" was first penned by alto sax genius Paul Desmond when working in the famous Dave Brubeck quartet -- and although Dave's recording of the tune sold a bazillion copies, it also led to some really incredible other versions of the track served up over the years! The tune has a loping, modal groove that opens up no matter who seems to take it -- and which lends itself equally to both jazz and vocal versions, no matter what the setting! If you only know Dave's original, prepare to be very surprised -- and to highly enjoy very alternate versions of "Take Five" by artists as diverse as Carmen McCrae, The Specials, Sydney Youngblood, Monica Zetterlund, Young Lions, Jazzkantine, Quincy Jones, Trudy Pitts, George Mgrdichian, and Helge Schneider. And heck, the CD even features a different take on the tune by Dave Brubeck himself! I dunno...

But seriously - how does that function function anyhow? What are the mechanics?

Only when formulating guesses for the Blindfold Tests.

Who knew? Not me, that's for sure! http://www.4reference.net/encyclopedias/wi...ey_Montana.html

How about a Paulie & Chris "reality show" (for Fox, of course...) where they go out into amongst public in character and off somebody who pisses them off. The victim will be in on the gag, of course, and the fun comes with watching the family deal with the horror. Kinda like "My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance", only even MORE funny!

Too bad that the two Elektra/Musician albums by The Griffith Park Collection (Chick, Freddie, JoeHen, S. Clarke, & L. White) haven't made it to CD. That stuff was a big-time return to form of Corea as a probing, ahead-of-the-curve acoustic "advanced inside" player w/o any "concepts" attached, which is how I personally like him best.

Yeah, I saw the show and was wondering if anybody else caught the Hank reference. The Bernie Mac Show might well be the best mainstream sitcom on TV today, if not in the last 10 years. It's that good afaic.

See if THIS what you're looking for.
