Happy birthday 2010!!

happy birthday!!

is he the real deal or just the flavor of the month?

i couldn't for the life of me figure out wat a tounge was!

came across this: Sadly, Mobley’s great dependence on drug was his downfall, causing him first to lose his teeth and his health in general, then 1984 a lung was removed and he finally died in May 1986. A cruel fate for so gifted a jazz musician. By Mike Baillie. i never heard that he had lost his teeth before.

classic thread!

Thanks brownie! Whitney Barriett writes that there were 10 people in the audience the first day of the festival, but by the end there were hundreds! I wonder if there was any backlash to the musicians who performed there (the Newport Rebels) and their organizer (Mingus)?

no jim you are mistaken about that. if you look at my first post it as addressed to the "Moderators". I do not know which moderator deleted my post in response to Trane's - nor is that important. i don't like censorship - i guess i am just a bit too liberal for y'all. no worries - i said my piece. now let's get back to talking jazz!

whatever

who was there in 1960? how did it compare to newport? was it only that one time?

*sigh*

not if the deleted post is not deleted from my post count! but seriously jim - who checks the checkers?

as determined by whom? The admin or a moderator - see forum rule 1. exactly my point - that rule MHO is being abused. The rule states: The Organissimo Forums support the notion of free speech, although the definition of "free" is defined by the owners and operators of this board. We reserve the right to edit, delete, or otherwise moderate any post we deem inappropriate at any time for any reason. my post was neither inappropriate nor was their "any reason" other that whim/caprice for its deletion. Hey - it's good to be king! 'nuff said!

testa is back in rotation at the BM household - he is fabulous!

as determined by whom?

and FWIW my post - which did not violate ANY rule was deleted without explanation or the courtesy of communicating with me in any manner. hey it's not the BP oil spill or the firing of the NPR guy - it's just my pet peeve. SNAFU

perhaps - but that is besides the point. whim and caprice should not be a basis to delete posts IMHO.

indeed!
