Is it just me, or was this article a bit... pretentious. Guy

I recently upgraded from an MP3 copy to a "legit" one. This is a VERY strong album, and the things that usually bother me about Garbarek's playing are absent here. Also, this thread is an example of SEK's excellent contributions to this forum. Steve, you're missed! Guy

Wulfman, Congrats! Guy

I'm listening to Ben Allison's Riding the Nuclear Tiger and I'll be damned if "Love Chant Remix" doesn't pinpoint a strong relationship between Mingus's "Love Chant" and Monk's "Blue Monk". Anybody else notice this? Guy

Go Warriors! Monta Ellis is back which means we have returned to competitive mediocrity. Guy postscript: Thank GOD they didn't lose at home to the Sonics.

I remember reading the transcripts to Ken Burns's Jazz special and seeing an interview with Gary Giddins where he was asked if "Birdland" was jazz and he answered "Is it even music?" One of the stupider comments I've read from the guy. Guy

Danielle, you are off to a very good start! Guy

It's much more likely that they will miss the playoffs. Very impressive win by Dallas in San Antonio. Guy

MVP means making your team better, not just putting up great numbers. Despite a recent hot streak I don't think Washington is much more than a middle-of-the pack eastern conference team. Granted, he isn't an Iverson, but I think the Wizards have to do at least as well as the Cavaliers for Gilbert to be a serious contender. Guy

I'm a fan of Steve Kerr's commentary, Charles Barkley is pretty good. Is Charles really going to race Dick Bavetta? "A 67 year old can't outrun me!" I'd pay to watch that. Guy

I disagree. If the Wizards sustain their current winning pace, he has an outside shot. Guy

Since a bunch of us have been receiving these opened boxes, I wonder if someone working at yourmusic's local post office is collecting shipment cds. Must have a nice collection by now. Guy

Mike Miller killed 'em with his beyond-the-arc bombardment. Guy

"Bemsha Swing" and "Blue Monk" on Conversations with Myself. Guy

Jim, Are you sure we are talking about the same player? I don't think Murph knows how to spell defense, much less play it. Guy

But none about the spelling of "controversy". Guy

I'm watching the Warriors barely holding off the Hornets (so far). Without Monta and JRich this is not a good team. edit: Grizz will pick up win #8 tomorrow. Guy

No, it isn't inflation. What is that called? A buying frenzy? I'm sure there's a term for it. I hate to contradict Guy, but in certain contexts, especially legal contexts, any excess in a stock's price above it's "true value" (the definition of which is invariably a point of contention) is called "inflation". In particular, if the hiring of new workers does not add value to the company but does cause its price to increase, then the hiring would be said to lead to "inflation" in the stock price. Interesting. This isn't inflation in the economic sense, but I learn something new every day! Guy

Coltrane plays flute on both Expression and Live at the Village Vanguard Again; he plays alto on Live in Japan and Stellar Regions. So it could be him in both cases. Guy

I don't know all that much about economics, but it sounds like what you are calling for here is inflation. Artificial increase in stock prices due to demand? No, it isn't inflation. Guy

Wheel, Thanks -- this looks like what I am looking for. Guy

I am trying to defragment my hard drive. However, I am running into trouble because of the following: Is there any way to get around this without clearing space on my hard drive? My cd burner is very unreliable right now and I can't easily clear that 15%. Guy

I have an EP titled Staircase Infinities -- not sure how that fits in to Aggie's chronology. Guy

My sentiment too, I really like Michael Blake on this CD and writing is very strong. This is a very good album. Guy

My head hurts. Guy
