is that one gone by now or am i just too stupid to find it? A few weeks ago i saw this at a Newbury Comics for $9.99 , when i went back today i found one for $3.99 ! check with Newbury . thanks, still a newbury newbie here...

i think miconceptions like this often arise from the way physical theories are taught in school...(as if they were facts instead of theories that fit very well) [what follows now might be utter nonsense i am very bad at physics] when we learned in school that in some respects light behaves like waves and in others like particles i didn't really care about how this goes together but we also didn't discuss it... only years later i realized that (arguably) the most fundamental lesson to be learned from this is that light is neither a wave nor particles but that it must be something third... (and that this does not diminish the usefulness of the two theories) (btw, looking back the physics class i had as an exchange student in 11th grade in the USA was a bit better in that respect having a strong focus on how theories arise from experiments...) don't really see the problem of creationism being taught in school (long as it is not the only thing...), how long does it take, 20 minutes? god put it all here and now it's there...

ordered a bunch of new stuff in the last two days, luckily for under 10 Euro each -John Patton - Boogaloo -James Clay - Double Dose of Soul and then some very cheap organ records (as the two i recently bought are so great John Simon Trio and Jimmy Forrest's Heart of the Forrest): -Jimmy Ponder - Jump (with John Patton and James Anderson - is that the James Anderson, Woody Shaw's "teacher" and from the title of Patton's "This One's for JA"?) -Radam Schwartz - OrganIzing (with Bill Saxton) -Jimmy McGriff - Main Squeeze and without organ -Richard Davis - Now's the time

nothing against Darwin and evolutionary theory but to me my existence (and the existence of the place where i am living) (where are not even speaking of my half-hungarian girlfriend) has always had a much more certain flavour... funny to think that some of your religious fundamentalists deny it

indeed! here is another telling favorite...

wonder why nobody has ever tried to play exactly the same notes chirping but at a much much higher speed (and then another guy might come along and play the same thing cleanly and nobody would care about him)

funny, i love both of these albums (although i like This is Billy Mitchell a bit more i think for the late night feel, this was pretty much the record i had hoped to buy when i got Gene Ammons Angel Eyes) but what surprised me the most when i got the second one (Finger Snap) was how different they actually were, imho both are very coherent, This is BM in its weariness (?), Finger Snap with its slight afro touch, both have a very strong "album feel", to them (despite line-up changes between tunes), more than many hard bop sessions which just collect great players playing great tunes... (and This is Billy Mitchell has one of the strangest album covers ever in a way "the most exciting tenor sax in jazz", can be had cheaply at the moment btw)

Ran Blake Horace is blue: A Silver Noir has some tracks in that configuration... wanted to add with more time http://www.amazon.fr/Horace-Bleue-Silver-B...6096&sr=8-2 this is an excellent cd, the lineup is blake on piano with two of his students david "knife" fabris on guitar and james meranda on alto saxophone, of the 14 tunes, 6 are solo piano, there is an excellent solo guitar version of senor blues, at least one duet track but also some tracks with the full band, very interesting to hear the horace silver compositions in this stripped down setting

IT is Kenny G's sax. does that mean he'll stop playing if i buy it?

just tried and i can still open discographies (tested it with sun ra) with ie 6

was sitting in the waiting room at an (otherwise normal) doctor this morning and like one meter from me people were doing just that behind a curtain - creepy

why you little twerp, you start this whole thing! just what i thought, as long as chuck nessa watches the grammies there is no need for me to grow up ... besides, i like the winehouse album back to black... not everything, somewhat ambivalent towards rehab (and the lyrics are silly even without her personal issues), my favorite is me and mr jones; imho of the many artists who are currently selling jazz-influenced pop music in large amounts (norah jones, michael buble, diana krall whoever) she is the only one who i know who does not have that creepy "adult contemporary" appeal, maybe authenticity is not quite the right word, but something similar

i am a reasonably happy user of msie (at home, not here at work) and never had that problem, the site never worked well sometimes forcing IE to shut down or timing out but the links always worked... will give it a try tonight (should have done that yesterday, sorry...)

funny, a friend of mine badly needed some reliability theory in statistics recently but Grenoble is pretty far off...

same thing with the two registers of the clarinet (?) (well, almost the same thing at least with an Oehler clarinet there are little differences don't know about Boehm; besides, of course i know what you mean)

started on clarinet, took me years to realize everyone else had an easier time with their f's edit to add: don't you also play guitar (where all "registers" are different)?

welcome to this board! glad you stumbled across my comment; of course you're right - given that i have tremendously enjoyed your recital for more than ten years - i should try some of your other stuff the next time i reactivate my clarinet playing... (advanced level... i will see what advanced level means, when i started playing Reciatal at age 14 this was about the hardest thing i could do technically, at 19 i could play Stravinsky half-decently and get some fun out of it (though mostly not when other people were around ) these days things don't look that bright...

for tapscott i just counted 15 albums on nimbus west http://www.nimbuswest.com/ so as he has four or five albums elsewhere (Flying Dutchman not a major?) he's in You missed my edit - yes, he's made loads. So has Harper. MG how can you edit although it doesn't say so below the post? is that because you're a moderator? (or did i miss something?) edit to try

don't the liner notes say so? gave that one to a friend two years ago and said he should give it back to me when i find the stuff he had lent me two years earlier... guess i should either rebuy or start searching for his stuff (sheet music to Nirvana Unplugged and Oasis Definitely Maybe) so i can get back my two "real books" the lockjaw album and the booklet of my Mose Allison compilation (which he has kept for over five years - he has certainly lost it) ordered two items cheaply from newbury via ebay which i didn't think i would find anymore Don Patterson - Dem New York Dues (already got the shipping notice) and the Lockjaw Davis twofer with Don Patterson

that guy must lead a life free of sorrows...?

great batch of records (recently lost my copy of Eastern Sounds it seems... will have to rebuy that soon, it's one of the records i need to have around) (just giving a first listen to a record you once recommend btw Woody Shaw's In my own sweet way... sounds like it will become one of my favorite shaw records)

Odd first post on a jazz bulletin board... pulling up a 3 yr old thread about moving. If this isn't spam, welcome to the board! just a trick to make us to believe that he is not a Universal employee... watch out for his next posts! (welcome!) (and after all what do i need the most, promo for an American Moving company, promo for an Ella Fitzgerald compilation or promo for a smooth jazz record... probably the first (and for most posters here)... think what makes people here upset about promo spammers is that these merchandise people do not recognize our good tastes we are celebebrating in thousands of posts... if someone had recorded a new Dizzy Reece record and promoted it here (almost) nobody would mind i guess... that people who run a smooth jazz label are not willing to accept / able to see that what they are selling is substantially different from most of the music discussed here is what makes people angry... a moving company - weird)
