Big Wheel

Anyone have any idea who this jazz musician is? I'll post the answer in a day or two if nobody guesses correctly.

If you buy from ropeadope.com everything is $9.99. The first DJ Logic record and one other one are $5.99. They say they ship via FedEx, which sounds expensive, but maybe the prices are low enough that it's still a good deal.

Whew! Good thing, because I can tell BoG is going to be in heavy rotation for a while. I read some of the Amazon reviews of the Fillmore discs. Quite a few people seem to be disenchanted with the editing. Does it detract from the music?

Is the sound on the RVG enough of an improvement to justify upgrading? I have the old US CD version, the one with the bonus track.

Now you have to get "Live at the Fillmore East". B-) Does that include all the material from the Band of Gypsys record? D'oh! I bought a used copy on a whim...now I'm thinking of taking it back.

For me, Hendrix's Band of Gypsys.

Ah, but that's only his Earthling name. I'd write out the Saturnian version here, but it's kind of hard to render five-dimensional letters on a two-dimensional bulletin board.

Well, I got the gig. The process took so long from start to finish that it's sort of been an anticlimax for me. But at least I'm not unemployed anymore!

I file mine under the first letter of his real name. Unfortunately I still haven't found my copy of the Saturnian-English dictionary, so I don't know where in the alphabet that letter belongs...

And if you look at the Consumer Price Index as a measure of inflation, that money gets you less than half (almost a third) of what your dad could buy.

How about Dodo Greene? Consistently bad.

Larry Young: Unity Great tune selection, great band, energy all the way through, different moods throughout. Jimmy Smith: Back at the Chicken Shack The holy grail of groove. Horace Silver: Blowin' the Blues Away Nary a dull moment on this one for me. Blakey's Indestructible might make this list also. Also Blue Train, for sure. I think I would also have to include Takin' Off. Even the lesser-known tunes (Alone and I) are gorgeous. edit: I see that FFA's deleted his post, which discussed consistent albums as opposed to artists. Sorry if I misread the question.

Bonds's defense that he didn't know is absurd. I certainly make a point of knowing what's in the vitamins and medicines I take, and I'm just some shmo who sits on his ass all day. Bonds depends on his body for a living. You're going to tell me that he just smeared on whatever Conte gave him without bothering to find out what was in it? Bullshit.

Bummer. According to the Sapporo USA website they discontinued the export of Yebisu to the US at some point. They recommend Sapporo Reserve as a substitute. Ah well, I'll just have to pay a visit to Japan sometime and give it a shot...

That thing is only 121 pounds?? Judging by its sheer size I would have guessed it to be about 200-300.

Perry is a nasty MF with a very distinctive sound. He has several solos on the last few Maria Schneider albums. Also have dug his playing on his own Steeplechase records.

While I haven't heard 27th Man yet, and would probably pick the Prisoner if I was buying for myself, I think given Scott's affinity for the grease he might want to pick up the Silver first.

Er, I don't think Mike meant anything by it. Switzerland IS far tidier than just about any other country I've seen (with a possible exception of Singapore). I didn't visit the Italian parts when I was there but it was very interesting taking a day-trip from Brig, Switzerland (mostly German-speaking I think) across the border to Domodossola, Italy. It was ASTONISHING how much dirtier the Italian town was, considering it's just over the border.

I don't want to demean Chuck's expertise here, but does anyone have any solid evidence of imminent mass deletions? I'm a bit squeezed for cash at the moment and don't really want to plunk down a few hundred bucks with only an educated guess to go on. Has anyone here talked to anyone at Fantasy about what might happen?

Yikes! Is it just me, or is Gene Harris a dead ringer for an older Alan Keyes?

That's because it costs $15 for a burger in freakin' TGI Friday's in Times Square. Yecch!

I tend to get mine at the local Pep Boys. Wait, that's Valvoline. Never mind.

Probably because of the apostrophe in the email address, or maybe it was just too long. You don't have to actually enter an email (I realized this too late...hope he doesn't sell mine to spammers).

Sure, what's the name you posted it under?

I think I read somewhere that alt-Prt Scrn captures only the active window being used, not the whole screen. (In this case, either would be ok as long as the whole image was visible on the screen.)
