Good suggestion conn! At first I thought about using dollar bills to light my cigarettes. These bills are pretty cheap at the moment - 0.801142 EUR

I'll start smoking. Which brand? Recommendations welcome.

There was this horse in Atlantic City that jumped (on its own free will, of course) from about 30ft in a pool (it also appeared in a Simpsons episode). I'm looking for footage of one of this jumps. If you can help, please send private message. Thanks!

Swallow does play with plectrums. Between 1991 and 2002 I saw him playing about five or six times. On these occasions, he always used a plectrum. You can get that sound/attack neither with your fingers nor fingernails. Look what he is holding between index finger and thumb. http://www.jazzozieri.com/Plectrums.htm

I'm 100% sure that it's Swallow playing the bass line + overdubbed melody. Most audible from 06:18 - end of song: clearly Swallow's tone that he gets (apart from instrument/amp setting) playing with a plectrum. Only other possibility is that Carla Bley used Swallow samples, but I don't think this is the case.

I can't hear a synth bass on this track. Both bass parts sound like Steve Swallow.

Cool descriptions. Thanks! Some stuff I found re disc 2, track 9: Joe Daley: An appreciation, Organissimo/Recommendations Video still showing George Wein and Buzzy Drooten (George Wein & The Newport All Stars, Baden Baden, Germany, 1961):

AEC discography: http://www.geocities.com/BourbonStreet/Delta/8835/art.html I have the Fuel/Universal disc. Not having another release, I have no comparison re quality.

Please give us an example.

Never liked the stuff they did during the 1978 tour (Mr. Gone), which the live tracks of this album consist of, too much. I do like the version of "Scarlet Woman" (especially 06:05 - 06:40), "Sightseeing" and the title track with JP on drums. Some background info on 8:30

Depends on what you are expecting from listening to music. I feel about it this way: this music is telling stories and creates pictures in your head (at least in mine), similar to a film; it's not about foot tapping in the first place. Your argument reminds of Big Al's Out To Lunch thread.

I have no preferences, it depends on the musical context.

The data is stored on the bottom side of the cd. http://www.cdrfaq.org/faq02.html#S2-1

If the whole in the middle was not round, you would have to place the CD in a certain angle relative to the spindle.

I prefer to archive the stuff and watch it/have it accesible whenever I'm in the mood to.

Have a DVD multi-format burner in my PC. VHS videos and stuff captured from cable or satellite TV can easily be edited before burning (like cutting out commercials) - is this also possible with stand alone burners?

I always wanted to hear an organ trio's take on Stravinsky's "Le Sacre du Printemps."

Nice! Here's the negative to your story: I took a knife to open my Windows XP package. It took me a while until I got the disc out. Later I realized that this thing WAS a gatefold.

JP was an R&B/Jazz guy, period. In the 70ies: Las Olas Brass, Tommy Strand & The Upper Hand, Wayne Cochran & C.C. Riders, Ira Sullivan, Peter Graves Orchestra, Willie 'Little Beaver' Hale, Albert Mangelsdorff, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Mitchell, et cetera - where's the fusion here? In the 80ies the short lived Word Of Mouth Big Band, the WOM Sextet and other incarnations of that band - again, what fusion? Re pure fusion: those six years with Weather Report earned him the fusion reputation which is not even 50% of his brief career (granted his playing can be called "fusion bass playing," whatever that is, during his Weather Report period). Edit: the discs with Dennard and Bullock weren't his albums - those are posthumously released live recordings (in most cases audience recordings). Sorry for nitpicking.

The infos on this bulletin board got me started: http://forum.doom9.org/index.php Good luck! edit: sorry, I'm afraid this board doesn't have infos on stand alone recorders. I'll leave the link anyway.

Almost the same here. To me, Out To Lunch is like a soundtrack to one of those late 50ies, early 60ies Dr. Mabuse films with Gerd Fröbe. I love this stuff. It's fantastic music that creates a nice, eerie atmosphere. Damn, talking about music is not a strength of mine.
