Big Wheel

Don't know the answer to your question, but I have always wondered why the CD credits BOTH Hampton Hawes AND his pseudonym of Henry McDode. Does either version of the LP do the same? Excellent, underrated record BTW.

I don't know if the term was coined by David Baker, but I remember reading it long ago in one of his bebop books. See the third post in this thread for a halfway lucid explanation: http://forums.allaboutjazz.com/showthread.php?t=14436 An example is the pickup to bar 5 of Donna Lee. Maybe not the most classic case (because the note being enclosed is the 11th of the Bb minor chord rather than a more basic chord tone like the 3rd) but seems like it fits to me.

Got the code this morning and successfully applied it. Guess they had to have an engineer come in and fix the bug in the morning...

BW, LivingSocial is punishing you for getting the free card! That actually is truer than you might think. A cursory search on Twitter suggests that it's only people who maxed out their referrals who are seeing this error.

Annoyingly, I got an email confirmation but am getting an error message when I try to get the card code. I am not impressed, as this is the second time I've used LivingSocial and also the second time things have not gone smoothly. (The first time the merchant decided unilaterally not to honor the coupons, which is understandably not LS's fault except you'd think they would do a better job of picking good merchants and communicating clearly with them what the deal terms are.)

If you use this link to buy, I get credit for the referral: (EDIT: Took down link so someone else can post theirs, as I've already received the maximum credit of 3 referrals - thanks!)

That is actually really cool in the way you can code notation relatively simply. I think the main reasons it wouldn't be used here though are: -99.9% of the discussions here are non-technical, along the lines of "whoa, that Bird record is awesome" rather than "let's examine how Bird used enclosures to ornament the chord tones on the ii-V-Is on Donna Lee." That's the main reason the little-used "Musician's Forum" exists here - to wall off the nerdy musician-speak from the rest of the board, which couldn't care less about such things. -Those of us who occasionally engage in the other 0.1% are probably too lazy to learn how to use the feature.

I think virtually every Reform or Conservative synagogue uses at least a few - that's how popular her music was among cantors and rabbis.

Via Dave Liebman's newsletter. I'm getting reallllly sick of xtranormal videos but sometimes the dialogue is just too good.

I saw Jamire Williams with Jacky Terrasson a few months ago. The cat can really play.

The Andrew Hill solo Select is also at the same price. At the other end of the spectrum, they are carrying many of the Mosaic Singles for $27.30. Does anyone know if Amazon will intentionally delay shipping an order if a customer requests it? I want to lock in the good price on one of these, but am not going to be home for the few days when the order would most likely be delivered. For obvious reasons I would rather not have a package sitting out waiting for me during those days if I can help it...

Well put, and seconded.

I can almost hear him singing that line "she sleeps in a chair"....just seems like the kid of material he'd pick.

Interesting. I used to go to a lot of card shows/autograph signings when I was really little and I think I have a signed ball by Feller in a closet somewhere, but never met him. Ted Williams was definitely among the most ornery of the ones that I remember. The nicest: Johnny Bench and Ernie Banks. He was nice to me when I met him at a booksigning about 20years ago. Even posed for a picture with me. I guess he was in a good mood that day. Which one, Williams or Feller? Williams was mostly just brusque and impatient in general, I think. Instead of handing you the ball after he signed it he'd kinda toss it toward you on the table in a way that suggested he was there purely for the money and had zero interest in wasting any time talking to a kid. Understandable now after reading about how competitive (i.e., Type A) the guy was.

They had the same deal this time last year. Anyone want to buy my individual season sets? I have the first four seasons in 3 sets (seasons 1 and 2 are bundled together).

By "new" they probably mean "sealed boxes on eBay." Though if you adjust for inflation, maybe that's how much Mosaic boxes in 1984 or whatever cost in 2010 dollars...

Speaking of Louie Bellson there's this record, with Alex Acuña and Manolo Badrena, Francisco Aguabella and Cachao, and...Cat Anderson on a track or two?

Cool. I am actually trying to find comfortable earplugs that I can wear to sleep (just bought a big pack of the disposable Howard Leight LPF-1s). But will keep those in mind for when I want a pair for concerts.

I only have Lunch in L.A., the Fantasy record. But if you like solo piano it's a great one. Currently $5 with shipping at Amazon Marketplace.

just curious, what brand/model earplugs do you use?

Have you tried something like this? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308421 I don't have enough experience with the guts of Windows to say for sure whether this will work in XP when the folders were originally created in Windows 7, but seems like it could be promising.

What version of Windows are you running? I would imagine a Google search should easily turn up how to get administrative/superuser access when viewing these folders in Windows.

How would you like it if someone spuriously called your integrity into question? The insinuation was that I must have some ulterior motive in "defending" Facebook (which I wasn't doing). In other words, because I presented a contrary point of view to Chris's, it must somehow follow that.....I'm failing to disclose that I am a Facebook employee (nope, not one, and no plans to be one, although I have acquaintances who are), otherwise professionally affiliated with Facebook (sorry, not that either) or simply a hopeless Mark Zuckerberg/Facebook fanboy (anyone who knows me would collapse with laughter if you seriously suggested this). This baseless smearing is the reaction of a child and is beneath an adult. Sorry if observing that seemed harsh, but I call 'em as I sees 'em. PS: This happened 5 months ago and I've since forgiven Chris's youthful indiscretion.

A local quasi-malapropism: I constantly say "Hey, let's go to Mitchell Brothers" when referring to local landmark Mitchell's Ice Cream.. Mitchell Brothers is a rather different local establishment...
