yea yea all ive heard all the hullabaloo aobut V.D.G.G: i have bootleg dvd comp. of their BBC performances and i have a few of their LPs but really i find them kinda boring, esp. the vocals

eric dolphy/latin jazz quintet- United Artists?

saw one of them "chronological" cds today: noticed some really good sidemen on it! is this bebop? west coast or east coast? some tracks seemed to be small group, some orchestra. what instrument does babs do? who is babs? etc?

Chewy-Chew-Chew reporting here: i havent revisited the lps in a long time but i remember getting into them a real long time ago. yes, they were very passe already even by 1978 and it is pretty astonishing they are still going at it. However I am very offended by your Genesis comment- I for one am one of those guys who feels Invisible Touch is the pinnacle of the 80s. Moody Blues 80s albums are ok but they are not as important to the decade in the same way the Genesis lps are/were.

chewy-chew-chew/Weather Report Fan here: i have some w.r. dvds: one from '76: that one has alex acuna and manolo. also have musikladen '78, no extra percussion, just peter erkskine, the harriest jazz musician of all time. wait, just u wait till he takes his shirt off 1/2 way through the video. his back is so hairy he could be a gorilla for halloween and all he would need is the mask

i wish they always lost the stereo masters

I have a Tequlia 78

HOLY SHIT. HOLY SHIT. BOZ IZ DEAD. THAT IS OUT OF CONTROL. NO MORE BAD COMPANY REUNION EVER AGAIN. OH GOD. I REMEMBER IT LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY, AUGUST 1999- WAS SNEAKING INTO A BAD COMPANY CONCERT, VIA THE BACKSTAGE AREA, AND I REMEMBER RIGHT AT THE BACKSTAGE RAMP-THING RIGHT BEFORE I EVEN SNUCK IN, THERE WAS BOZ BY THE BUS TUNING HIS BASS. THERE WAS A SECURITY GUY RIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF HIM, SO I WAS THINKING I HAD TWO OPTIONS: I COULD BE WHAT THE HELLS UP TO BOZ OR JUST KEEP WALKING AND SNEAK INTO CONCERT. AND I REALLY WANTED TO SAY WAHT THE HELL BUT I JUST KEPT GOING. HE WAS WEARING NEON BRIGHT FUNNY PANTS. THEN THE 2nd PERSON I SAW BACK THERE IS DAVID LEE ROTH, THE SUPPORT ACT. THEN I WENT INTO THE MAIN SEATING AREA AND SAW THE SHOW AND BAD COMPANY ROCKED THE HOUSE DOWN. ALL 4 ORIGINAL MEMBERS: MICK RALPHS, SIMON KIRKE ON DRUMS, PAUL RODGERS, AND BOZ. BOZ WAS ALSO IN THE KING CRIMSON ALTHOUGH THE LP HE ON, FOR YRS IVE READ BAD REVIEWS OF IT, THEN WHEN I LISTENED TO IT FOR THE 1st TIME LAST WEEK, I ACTUALLY ARGREED SOMEWHAT. I DIDNT THINK IT WOULD BE THAT BAD CAUSE I ALSO HEARD WEAK REVIEWS OF IN THE WAKE OF POSIDEON BUT I **LOVE** THAT ONE. BUT YEAH.

come to chewy's house: ill show you my ultra-rare champ's: tequlia 78-rpm single on challenge records (PS tequlia's the a-side)

stewreorjack: is the album "fusion" how does the mellotron fit in to the picture

why did she always use a bass player- was that just her style or what? is there an offical statement on this

alan songer: do u think maybe he just played the gigs cause he wanted 2, u know like he didnt need the $ or anything...otherwise i think thats odd how he came back in 05 and dissapeared again. hmmm. THAT IS SAD HOW ITS LOU SUBBING FOR JACKIE. SUX THEY COULDNT DO IT LAST YEAR

Chewy's divorce tip of the day: make her watch NIGHT OF THE IGUANA

whats it priced at ? is this 'must have'? is it all stupid closeups or can you really see the whole band in action?

WAIT WAIT WAIT this is DVD?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!? i have audio of this show but i didnt know there was video!?!?!! by the way Little Steivie plays an ****RMI ELECTRIC PIANO^^^ ON THE B.F TOUR: NOT A FENDER RHODES

is there any recordings of Sun's arrangements for Fletcher Henderson, or in addition recs of his piano work in the band?

they should call it the Free Jazz Cash Raffle-- what a crock. what will zorn create w/ an extra billion dollars that he couldnt do w/ his current funds-- hmmmph

404 error

1st off when did Gerald Wilson record pre-1940- i thought his Excelsoior 78s that i have were his earliest! 2ndly is Lena 'retired'?

UNKNOWN PERSONEL?!??!? Hmmmph Well listen when i played i t in the store i did instanly notice all the songs were pretty much of the same variety- they all are uptempo gosepel songs, but i knew it was special so i got it and at home i played it again and i am happy w/ the purchace. it is interesting to hear gospel, but with sax solos and trumpet etc. one of the songs on side 1 is even like a jazz-rock gospel tune w/ some harmonica and elec. guitar-- that one is very interesting

were the Fletcher Henderson arrgenments recorded by Fletecher or were they just in the live book? is there a documented Flether/Sun recording, Ra actaully playing the piano on i t notwithstanding, i mean the arrangement, etc...

herbie did what to who now?

that sounds like it could be right- looks kind of fancy. i wonder when the show is

i have to strees again how the oppurutnites to hear "straight-shit bebop" are dwindling: so ill let u in: If you Seattle guys really want to see im again, he told me he's gonna have a weekly gig or something at a place on 2nd & James, i think he said its some Spanish place....i have no idea what its called or when the gig is....if anyone of you know what it is, youre set...if not lets all try to figure it out!!!
