Teasing the Korean

Precisely. Instead of getting arrested, the guy should be put in charge of the RIAA. Someone finally figures out how to make money in the contemporary music business, and he gets arrested.

This is hilarious. https://www.forbes.com/sites/lesliekatz/2024/09/08/man-charged-with-10-million-streaming-scam-using-ai-generated-songs/#

I've often wondered about their relationship. Sergio did, after all, try to fire Lani, along with the rest of the original lineup, until Lani's boyfriend reminded Sergio of who was in charge. Don't know if that is water under the bridge, or if that permanently affected their relationship.

The pacing is precisely one of the things that makes the film a masterpiece. How else do you convey the incomprehensible vastness of space and time? I feel bad for the students. I consider 2001 to be hands-down the greatest outer space film ever made. The biggest anachronism occurs during the scene where the mods crash the house party. Jimmy goes over to the record player, and we see the cover art for the US MCA 70s twofer reissue LP of The Who Sell Out and A Quick One. What the album was doing there is anyone's guess.

@rostasi @mjazzg @Rabshakeh Last night, Ms. TTK and I rewatched Quadrophenia. It is indeed a very solid film, despite a few continuity glitches, and can be viewed as a Neo-Angry Young Man/Kitchen Sink film.

I first learned his name from liner notes for those beloved 70s jazz twofer reissue LPs. As a Jersey boy, I was happy that he was affiliated with Rutgers.

Funny how different our ears are. I think Lani has a very soulful voice. I'll check out "They Shot The Piano Player" when we have Netflix next.

Last night, we re-watched 2001 for the first time in a while.

Maybe one day!

I think I mentioned in another thread that, when I was getting into jazz, I avoided Dave Grusin, but didn't realize he wrote all this great TV and film music in the 60s and 70s. I love his scores for Three Days of the Condor, The Friends of Eddie Coyle, and The Yakuza.

Of course. He did great arrangements for them.

Did you try to recreate those string voicings for the brass or reeds? Is that Richard Hazard?

This track from Look Around is fantastic in every way.

All four of their Beatles covers are fantastic! Three of their Fabs covers smoke the originals. "Day Tripper" is a wash, IMO.

Not sure I understand your second paragraph.

I'm up for one.

FYI, the first three tunes on the album were written in advance of the recording, and the rest of the album was improvised during the sessions.

I have a lot of Moog albums from that era. Hyman's first Moog album, the one with "The Minotaur," is one of the best. Most are either too pop or very "serious." This one hits a real sweet spot between the two, and I write this as one who typically avoids the phrase "sweet spot."

For many of us in the US, Brasil '66 and Getz & Gilberto were the primary gateways into Brazilian music. In the 1990s and early part of the millennium, with the revival of Bossa and Brazilian music in the US, it became trendy to put down Brasil '66 as not being "authentic," a problematic word if there ever was one. As one of those who was scarfing up as many Brazilian LPs and CDs as I could find during that time, I never engaged in the Brasil '66 bashing. I loved them in the 1960s and I love them now. I saw Sergio live in 2008, and he signed autographs after the show. I had my copy of The Swinger from Rio for him to sign. When I got to the front of line, I asked, "Excuse me, but aren't you the swinger from Rio?" He smiled and replied, "I used to be!"

Kolin Teez?

Glad I liberated as many as I did from the cutout bin. Those were the days...

No, we used a prefab skillet gnocchi for this dish, as I wanted to see how everything went overall the first time. I've never tried to make gnocchi. I gather from your response that it's not easy!

It is also available for purchase as a lossless download from Qobuz. Thanks!

Yes, I look like a character in Fellini's Satyricon.
