  1. Saw thursday the formation Hard Cell which consists of Tim Berne, Craig Taborn and Tom Rainey. Very fine imaginative music. Craig Taborn is getting some recognition in Montreal. We now have people bringing signs for him, saw one that said Taborn is God, which gave Berne a chuckle. Can't really say the same about the piano, it sounded llike like it went through a muffler, at one point Tabord had to do some repairs as one of the pedals broke off.. It is pretty tough to talk about specific pieces since Berne never bothered introducing the numbers. All i can say is they were very long compositions with numerous changes of paces that would range from contemplatic to highly energic, let's point out the fine job by the drummer overall. Felt that the second set was less exciting than the first one. Maybe because the music despite all the invention gets a little formulaic at some point and you have a feeling of déja entendu. But overall that's a minor qualm. Very satisfying show.
  2. Average evening, last night, thought the first piece they did not really gel until a Dresser solo near the end. Second piece was a blues and was a lot of fun thanks especially to a great bass line, the third was the peak of the show a piece dedicated to a late writer from Zimbabwe which had a great urban african feeling to it. The last piece of the 1st set was a piece dedicated to Elton Dean, it started well but seemed tired and it kind of fizzled, so the break was more than welcome. The second set started with a project of Rudd, to rediscover Herbie Nichols compositions, as promising as it sound can't say that neither pieces got off the ground. The 3rd piece was a long one that was a little too stretched out and to be honest unispired, both guys seemed to have ran out of ideas. For an encore Rudd sang a tune about a mattress on a stick, which reminded me that i've passed my bedtime and i wanted to go to sleep. Let's hope that Hard Cell will be able to offer tonight better quality throughout the evening.
  3. Saw last night Mark Dresser and Roswell Rudd last night, tell you more when i'll have time.
  4. I enjoyed the TV show because of the original spirit of the characters who acted a gazillion miles away the way women characters usually act in a tv show but this reunion smells like a fast cash-in on fans who don't know any better, plus tv shows have caught up on showing female characters with more pizzazz

  9. What's new about metering uploading and downloading files on the web, i thought every internet provider did that. Right now, what i do is to pay a surcharge of 50 $ per month plus my regular fee of internet use and i can do upload and download as much as i want. Weirdly if i upgraded my speed i would not be able to do that. By the way guys, they're not talking about cable ...

  13. Got a reply, apparently they do now ask questions At your earliest convenience please confirm where you purchased the J. Richards, Mosaic Select? We do not have a record of you purchasing that set with us directly. If you did not purchase the set directly with us, you will have to request a replacement from the Store in which you purchased this set.

  16. Title was misleading, thought it was weird they were celebrating an age like 79 instead of the usual 75 or 80. RIP Bo.

  22. Oh my, there's more action discussing the auction than at the actual auction
  23. Bought a Johnny Richards Mosaic select set a few months ago, only had the chance to play it this weekend and although the surface looks clean around the mark of 1:20 on the 8th track the music stops and gets back to normal at 1:35. Rest of the CD seems fine. And no it's not a cd player problem, tried the thing on different players and the same result occured. I do know that from what i've read on this board, Mosaic does usually change a defective cd, small thing is that i did not bought it from them, i bought it from a private seller, so would they change it anyways or do you have another solution, advice ?
