Teasing the Korean

An overlooked gem. Yes, back in the day when everyone was making a bossa nova record, jazzers like me often sneered, but some of them were very good indeed. This one and the Getz/McFarland Big Band Bossa Nova come to mind. Not a single bossa nova on Afro-Bossa. The title track is a bolero. As I previously mentioned, "bossa" was stuck on a lot of albums to sell copies, i.e. Gene Ammons's "Soul Bossa Nova." Regardless of what they call them, some of these are good albums, even if they're not bossa. "Afro-Bossa" is more of an exotica album. That and "Far East Suite" are filed right between "Fire Goddess" by Webley Edwards (Capitol) and "Exotic Percussion and Brilliant Brass" by John Evans (Directional Sound). No reason for me to file either in the jazz section, or they would get lost.

Could we please change the name of this thread to "Eyeball in Canned Peach Corner?"

We don't need that topic. There are entire websites devoted to this. So I'm told...

I still love you, my darling moose.

I vote that we turn this into a sub-forum and try out some of these topics.

I could contribute to that thread!

The extinction wager thread

By the way, feel free to make fun of my posts. We are all just disembodied fields of energy here, anyway!

I could care less what "they" say, or what you say, for that matter. Next. The original post was made in jest, as were all the other posts to this thread. Try not to let it get to you so much.

Well, that's kind of nasty, and both post more about jazz than I do... Seriously? I've never seen either post on a music thread. Maybe they haunt different threads than I do. Weizen pops into hardbop and TOJC/mini-LP threads, while Berigan likes to drop in on swing/early-jazz threads (not a whole lot of those here, generally speaking). They're both pretty passionate jazz fans--I can attest to that. I agree - and it seems almost mean spirited to attack them like that, especially when there are certainly posters on the other side of the political spectrum who post almost exclusively in the political forum. No doubt. I don't read or post on any of the threads that were mentioned. I have encountered those two ONLY on the political forums.
