Big Wheel

I'm afraid my memory was right: http://www.lollygagger.org/zeitgeist/archi...963.html#000963

I think I might have gotten an email from the Zeitgeist saying the Tin Hat Trio gig was canceled.

Frankly, I think the Sandoval disc is terrible. One of the worst jazz cds I've heard in years, copycat bullshit from beginning to end.

Hey, today's Bill Fenohr's birthday. He hasn't posted since March...anyone know if he's doing ok?

Come on guys, you didn't know that Universal starts their fiscal year on June 3? That would make today the first day of the fourth month...

Oh, and let me guess--it was McDonough who panned it in Downbeat, wasn't it?

I haven't heard The Next Step, but this was one of my favorites of the year. Have only listened to it all the way through a couple of times, but man, those tunes and textures are wonderful, both spiritual and unsettling at the same time. It bears mentioning that before I heard this record, I was a skeptic on Rosenwinkel who couldn't understand why every guitar player I knew was making such a fuss about him.

Huh, I hadn't even heard this was coming out. Russ Gershon is a character. I enjoyed their last one, "Afro-Cubism", quite a bit.

Well, I blew it. September is here and I failed to take advantage of this sale...just didn't have the cash for it this time around. Anyway, I still need to give a fair listen to what I already have!

Idrees Sulieman is also on trumpet. Personally, I think this session is underrated. The trio version of "How Long Has This Been Going On" is beautiful, and everyone cooks on the closing blues "Tommy's Time." I find myself pulling this one out often at times when I need to unwind.

Hey, can't blame a man for tryin'.

Mark, if you end up not liking the disc, PM me and I'll gladly take it off your hands.

You're welcome. The bus company I prefer is Travel Pack: http://www.travelpackusa.com . The Fung Wah company is also good. You can catch both of these around the intersection of the Bowery and Canal St. The Fung Wah ticket office is right on the intersection and can't be missed, the Travel Pack window is a block or so north on the Bowery. If you can't find it, chances are if you are standing around there looking confused, there will be a guy who will see you and point you in the right direction. That's what happened to me last time, anyway. Both buses leave from right around the corner (I think it's Hester St.). Are you coming to Boston for business or for pleasure? There are some great shows coming up in September.

What really gets me is that they actually say that there's FOUR servings in these suckers. FOUR servings!! I'm sorry, there's ONE serving! One sit-com's worth of ice cream. And about 200% of your daily sat. fat intake. I don't eat this stuff anymore, but I really loved the "Chubby Hubby"-and now I am one. You think that's bad? I get the stuff FREE through my job. What I usually do is eat about 3/4 of a pint in one sitting, then I'll be grossed out at how much I've eaten, but hey, what's the point of just leaving that little bit in there? So 10 minutes later I'll finish the rest of it. If anyone's in Boston and wants some free ice cream, PM me and I'll hook you up. The more you have, the less there is to tempt me!

Ray Bryant is way up there too, as is Herbie Hancock (although he rarely shows it on records).

Anyone know how many sets are left for the Hamilton?

A similarly themed series can be found here (note: most of the cursing is censored). The third episode is my favorite by far.

Dmitry, do you remember if there was a young trombone player named Dion Tucker in the band?

Ahhhh! MUCH better.

Nope, all of them. I'll upgrade from 7.0 to 7.11 and see what happens.

Shit. The same thing happens both on the Invision forums and the Soulseek board ( http://slskboard.savagenews.com/index.php ) . It doesn't happen on the Macfora board ( http://www.macfora.com/forums/index.php ) but that board is laid out somewhat differently than this one and the others--it looks like they've somehow fixed the width of their board so it doesn't take up the whole screen.

I'll check those pages out. I was running Opera when the previous version of the board was up, and it worked fine. In fact, that was one of the reasons I switched to Opera from Navigator.

Jim, are you using Netscape right now? This problem might have been covered in the "Board Updates" thread.

Still having this problem. I know some board members are Opera users--anyone know of a fix within Opera for this? I don't want to switch browsers yet again!

3. Ouch. I've never even seen a bottle of Mexicali.
