Then toes was marinated!

Thoughts?

Dodgers/Cubs Play Ball!!!

I try to keep out of alleys these days, but...yeah, that's none too bad!!! I recall it and another one on Raccoon getting an ad in DB at the time, and then one(?) of them getting a positive review that included a comment to the effect that the reviewer had always suspected that there was some jazz lurking somewhere in the the back of the Young bloods, and I was like, ok, whatever, but I'm going to mount a passive push to find that Gill record now ....

What's the geal with that Kenny Gill record on WB/Raccoon? Never heard it or of him. But the lineup looks promising!

I waited for seemingly forever to get a cancellation notice from Amazon (last week(, after which a Google search sent me to Dustry Groove, where it was in stock, ordered, and delivered via Media Mail in about a week. Go figure.

Per wiki: In 2003 Angélica María, negotiating with a major publishing house, launched an autobiography which would release the lesser known aspects of her life as an actress and a woman. It was published by Reader's Digest in November 2005. For some reason, that strikes me as quite funny!

Ordered. That's an interesting site btw.

Those Prestige big boxes have proven to be all I need. It's all there.

Cool!!!!!

That's an exceptionally good record!

This will be a print book, right? Count me in if so!

Frankie Pokerton - A New Suit Of Blues!!!

I called TMobile the other day and they told me that the free MLB TV offer is coming on March 25. So get in that on-deck circle!

That should be a permanent installation in all the "jazz programs" in the world, have a holographic Earl Hines doing that and then throw all the happy boys and girls what have been studying their books so hard but have never even heard of Earl Hines up there in it and tell them YOU GOT IT!!! Pop Quiz, motherfuckers!

People die, sooner or later. It's just another form of moving on to other things.

I think it is safe to say that Larry is not doing well. That's about all I feel safe in saying. Paul Secor kinda fell victim to a delusion that I was coming to his house to shoot him and then decided that maybe he needed less stress in his life. It was all very public here. People are getting older. Some old people get weird about shit. Some work with it, some don't. It could be you. It could be me. My suggestion is to roll with all you can, and laugh at the rest. Oh, aloc. No idea what happened to him. I do hope he's well!

Thanks John. I really don't traffic in "personal attacks". Ideas on the other hand are fair game. But if I tell you "that's a stupid idea", it's not you that's stupid. It's the idea. Hell I have stupid ideas all the time myself.ore than you know. But. you know, cop to it and move on Chewy lurks. Bev is enjoying retirement. MG is, I think. Slowing down with age Soulpope has volunteered his absence ....

To insist, with...heightened assertiveness. Especially when the game seems to get an apology for something that didn't happen. Some folks act like they expect to be right all the time, to get apologies than give them Personally, I think it's vanity. If you have a shot take it. And then move on

Yes

This is deep, imo: I think since the middle of the 1960s moving into the 70s, certainly there was a complexity where political men and women, African Americans in this case, would begin to push this way of thinking that improvisation is more important than composition, is more important than symbolic languages. And more and more, the African-American community, especially the artists, would come to a point of stall. That is to say, it would stop evolving. And to this day, in my opinion, the African-American community, especially the artists, have stalled, and as the result of stalling, suddenly this idea of “improvisation is more important than anything else” would emerge. But I have never agreed with this idea. In fact, I wouldn’t say I’m against it, but I would say, when applied to my own work, this idea of runaway improvisation was never what I was interested in. I was interested in being the best student of music that I could be. And how can you be the best [if] you reject notation? After all, notation is just a record of how you built something — the foundation of how you built something; the foundation that can help you discover the meta-reality of creative music. There's a lot more...
