maybe the perfect thread to confess: the "r" and the letters surrounding it do not work properly on my computer's keyboard anymore so please do not get upset if ome of them are missing in my posts... will turn 27 soon, last birthday before i am closer to approaching 30 than to being mid-twenties

Female, very much so. Which is why it's so funny that gangsta rapper Ice-T's real name is Tracy. I suppose that's the 'T'. Tracy or Tracey (form of Thracius (masculine) or short for Teresa/Theresa (feminine)) also Traci, Tracie----wiki Female with stats to prove it!!...why do they bother to find out Tracy View names similar to Tracy (male, female, anagrams) Population Statistics for Tracy Tracy is primarily a girls' name, but it is used for boys 19.39 percent of the time. Total* Population in Top 1000: 307775 (19.39% male, 80.61% female) [source] Popularity of the name Tracy for Boys First Year in the Top 1000: 1880 (earliest year for which we have data) Last Year in the Top 1000: 2000 Average Age: 42.10 Highest Percentage: 0.195% in 1966 Best Rank: #98 (in 1966) Represented in the Top 1000 names in: 116 of 127 years (91.34%) Total* Male Population in Top 1000: 59664 oh my god there is even a graph www.nameplayground.com/Tracey thanks again (female was right in that particular case (no individual data for secretaries available, i guess, but i could imagine that the picture looks clearer there))

you sure have provided great reading... but then, i didn't ask you anything

no idea about the seller, shipping etc but a copy of the Gloria Coleman LP is available here http://www1.gemm.com/item/GLORIA--COLEMAN-...N/GML465325848/ (btw i just ordered a copy of this one's for ja too )

no time to google more right now, but moore is on this 2000 yusef lateef record: http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/...ond+The+Sky.htm this recent article sounds like they are still alive http://www.semja.org/jan2008/index.html

here is the discographical entry (from the gloria coleman leader discography at www.jazzdiscography.com) have you dug out the woody shaw quotes where he cites your dad as an important influence? just google "woody shaw" "james anderson" iirc he mentioned your dad in several inteviews

wish i could help you more... i recently bougt jimmy ponder's album jump which features a tenor player Jimmy Anderson who i guess is your dad ("JA teaches in the Newark public school system" it says in the liner notes) it can still be had cheaply from some amazon sellers http://www.amazon.com/Jump-Jimmy-Ponder/dp...1992&sr=8-1 (so don't forget to buy copies for your future grandchildren ) it's a fine cd with several nice solo spots for JA.... looking at this amg listing there seem to be two more albums, one by gloria coleman, one by freddie roach, that feature him http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&a...gzftxqy5ld6e~T4 neither is readily available but both reviews say a nice word about your dad... edit: sorry link does not work and i can't fix it, the albums are Freddie Roach's My People (Soul People) and Gloria Coleman's My Organ Sings and Swings look up the reviews on www.allmusic.com...

haven't even heard sound clips and it's not really from the 70s or bastards but i immediately thought rooster_ties when i saw this cd Nils Wogram's Nostalgia - Affinity organ trio with Wogram on trombone, Florian Ross (who recorded several nice cds as a pianist for Naxos in the late 90s) on organ and drummer Dejan Terzic http://www.nilswogram.com/ has soundclips which i cannot play at work... (the second cd by the group)

another pm

That Hayes is a good one! Scored lucky at a used music store on the way home from work: Eugen Cicero - Swinging the Classics on MPS (3CD) Art Blakey - Live at Club St. Germain 1958 (2CD) Clayton / Tate - Buck & Buddy (OJC) And all that for roughly 25 euro-zlotys! And upon arriving home, the latest CDU package was waiting, as well (Art Pepper's "The Way It Was" and "Smack Up" plus the JSP Eddie Lang 4CD box) Not a bad day... (except for the wasted 9 hours spent at work before) sounds like a great day!

happy birthday!

ran into two charly reissues of vee-jay albums at 4,99 each at the local store, a twofer of Lee Morgan's Vee-Jay albums and the Louis Hayes / Yusef Lateef album (that one with alternate takes)

same here... didn't know Syd Barrett's drummer Jerry Shirley recorded with BB King...

!happy birthday!

before a bunch of people come here claiming that learning to improvise this way can only lead to boring unimaginative results... i really like the design of the page and enjoyed clicking around on it quite a bit!

so if we agree that he is the fount of all things smooth, then people have been listening to smooth jazz for over 20 years, the usual definition of a "generation". I think you're putting to much emphasis on "understand" - its more like fans of the G-ster think "OK, I know what jazz is about" and I think that most of us would say that you don't anything about jazz from listening to him. As for the harm done, let me try an analogy. Let's say that some poor lost soul mistook the New York Mets for the New York Yankees. His knowledge of the Yankees would be a franchise of no great success, with two world championships in three World Series appearances in nearly fifty years of existence. I think true Yankee fans would very much want that person to know that the team in fact has a far more illustrious history covering most of the last century, and that he knows nothing about the "real Yankee franchise". guess with a european perspective it is easy to overlook how big a business smooth jazz actually is... concerning your analogy, you mean, we, the true jazz fans, should be hurt by those who think jazz is about kenny g; what i tried to say was something along the lines of "don't take these idiots to seriously/don't be hurt", those who truly appreciate kenny g wouldn't want the real deal anyway, and those who say they dislike jazz because they dislike kenny g (are they the majority?) should be easy to cure...

1) i can't believe there ever was a whole generation listening to smooth jazz 2) what does it mean to "understand jazz"? who can deservedly claim to have understood jazz? someone who listens to hank mobley the way others are listening to the Yellowjackets? what's wrong with people wrongly assuming they have understood something if it doesn't do anyone harm? (i mean, in rocket science i would see the problem but here..)

saw the first snow of this winter today (just in the air, not on the ground)

just in case anyone else is wondering about jazzbo's new title (4 8 15 16 23 42) http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequence...h&go=Search

thank you very much!

my girlfriend upgraded her copy of Blood on the Tracks and i vaguely remember being astonished ( ) by the difference (more than with any other such upgrade)... my favorite album is Desire, followed by Blonde on Blonde... (but i don't know all)

there are some copies of this on ebay, mostly vinyl but also a pricey copy of a 1985 cd... http://cgi.ebay.com/A-Message-From-Newport...1QQcmdZViewItem Thanks for the info, Niko! another boring day at work...

Why do I smile when I read this? Then read again and smile again? Thanks, Jim. the one thing that makes me feel a bit uneasy (wrong word) about my own interest in jazz is that i was interested in the discographical stuff even at times when i was hardly interested in the music at all, at the moment i believe i am interested in the music but i am somewhat reluctant take this belief serious
