are you really gonna ask him a controversial scientoligst question!

did live jazz in general suffer from moving out of the clubs and onto the festivals.....i mean the fusion stuff comes off okay but like these allstar acoustic jazz mega shows like on youtube from the 80s n stuff,i just dont see how you can play acoustic jazz like that stadium-rock style, and really groove right, u see what im sayin

I was just thinking, do you think maybe Monk finally had enough of playing when he had to go on tour, with a different band, like not his quartet. sonny stitt, kai winding, art blakey.....whats the deal with the giants of jazz tour. did monk really want to do it

if you want the real og stuff there is this one deodato cd i have, on brazil-phillips, its the stuff he did in the late 60s

heres some hella good ones prob not mentioned yet

and before that

I just caught the end of the "Hudson" livestream: jack dejonnette was doing something he should do in Keith Jarrett trio: he was singing from the kit: Henley style!!!!

Fucking bullshit!!!!!!!!!

insane THE FZ TRUST SHOULD GIVE HIM $$$$, BUT THEY WONT

i have the only vinyl spirit bootleg which is from Berlin 1981, released 1982 and i have a promo copy of the 1st lp (mono)

saw him 6 weeks ago. 6 weeks ago.

the pharoah-william henderson duo shows i saw few mos. ago were exceptional, i mean better than if bass and drums were there.

lots of applause at the end to make up for lack of audience noise during?

lol

i didnt know he was still doin Ole- thats awesome- was it 20 minutes?

how the hell concord became such a major player is beyond me.......they were just like a little jazz label that issued 80s herb ellis records in crappy plastic sleeves......where did all this $$$$$ come from for all these aquisitions?

i saw him on the tonight show a lot, sometimes theyd show him real quick.... oh yea i also saw him with Cedar Walton, Tony Dumas, & Billy Higgins went to multiple nights, this was the finest i ever saw BH play- he was doing all his classic licks, it really went there

no, but they told us enough, w/ those "eels" lyrics, it was cancer. RIP Walter Becker!!!!

i too am very sad. the donald fagen conert a week from tmw will, due to the timing, most definitely be a memorial // tribute---

u really got one dog? cheapest ive seen it is 220 and it was beat as they get. seemed a bad idea at the time, prob was my only opportunity

u know it dog! to tell u the truth the trip does look like it would be a little nuts, with all the traffic down there that day + the distance in a weird direction, like in the middle of the state which ive never been to (350 mi up or down I-5 would of bothered me way less)---

THE SUN RA ARKESTRA PLAYED THE ECLIPSE FESTIVAL IN ORGEON AND I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT IT. IT WOULD OF BEEN A 350 MILE/PER-WAY TRIP, BUT I WOULD OF STRONGLY CONSIDERED IT. MY ONE CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE THE SUN RA ARKESTRA AND I MISSED IT. MY ONE CHANCE. THAT COULD OF BEEN ME DANCING NEXT TO DANNY RAY THOMPSON. DOES THAT OREGON HIPPIE CHICK EVEN KNOW SHE IS DANCING NEXT TO DANNY RAY THOMPSON? WAS WATCHING A SF NEWSCAST FROM THE OTHER DAY WHERE THEY DID THEIR ONLY OTHER W. COAST SHOW, WHERE I WAS ABLE TO SEE MORE SHOTS OF THE BAND........THAT IS ABSOLUTELY MICHAEL RAY, IN THE 2ND PHOTO

you have to go to at least 75% of the barry harris shows
