I often times get my yeast physiologists and drummers confused.
Easy mistake.

Latest Newsweek issue has an article by Malcolm Jones in praise of Coltrane in terms of his enduring influence some 40 years after his death. While well written as a whole, the author gives away (to me at least) his naivete about jazz with this sentence: "No one ever composed or played a better ballad or standard". Still, the article is worth reading.
Actually, he's not far off the mark, even if it is naive.
Just considering Naima, Central Park West, Alabama and Lonnie's Lament alone, you've got a helluva ballad canon that I'd put up against almost anyone's in terms of quality, if not quantity.
Along with Naima, he's composed a handful of tunes that I'd call standards by this point: Giant Steps, Blue Train, Mr. P.C., Equinox, etc, etc. (and Tunji should be a standard, dammit)
And, insofar as standards go, he did a doozy on a few of 'em in his day: My Favorite Things, Russian Lullaby, Bye Bye Blackbird, Out of This World, Lush Life, Body and Soul, and that list goes on, too.

The difference between Sony/Bmg and Iraq is that at least in Iraq you get to have a gun
joke I heard a couple of years back...
what's the best way to stop the spread of AIDS?
Let BMG distribute it.

pay pal is up and running, and CDBaby should be shortly.
So, line up and grab your CD's now! At the rate they're going now, they'll be gone by August of 2010. And you wouldn't want to miss this fantastic opportunity, would you?

I'm there with pretty much everyone else. I've never had a place broken into, but I got robbed at gunpoint coming home from a gig at 2am once. All they got was cash, and luckily, I had just deposited most of my cash into the bank (strangely, I almost NEVER do that), so all they got was my drinking money.
But the feeling of getting robbed 10 feet outside of one's front door killed me. I had to move about a month later because I couldn't deal with it anymore.
So, Joe, you have my sympathy and empathy.
-
Thank you Agg, for explaining this as if I were a child.
Seriously.
Ok, now I feel bad!! Where can I buy your cd?
Seriously, I wanna buy your cd. Autographed, natch.
I'm trying to get more people to say this to me these days.
-
and we should be all set up on CDBaby by the beginning of next week (just sent in the discs today).
and if anyone knows more about pay pal than I do, drop me a line, please!
Thanks!

took me long enough, but I now have pay pal. Drop me a pm if interested!

Why bring religion into this in the first place like was done in the first post? That's what started all this.
Hans - I'm assuming George Cables wants people's prayers, based on Valerie's asking for them. If it is something that gives him comfort or hope, that's his choice.
I got the impression from the first post that it was just Valerie asking for prayers, not Mr Cables.
Anyway, I still think religion shouldn't be brought into threads like this.
So when is an appropriate time? When the guy is dead, or never?
If someone on this board started a thread asking for well wishes and a couple of members posted something like "I'll say a prayer for you" would you get all bent out of shape?
What difference does it make how a person chooses or requests an expression of support and care?
It isn't as if Valerie requested a specific prayer and said you must do it. Was it really necessary to point out that the prayers won't do shit?
Fuck me, this place can be a real pisser at times.
Too many uptight psuedo-intellects.
I'm just saying that in my opinion religion should be kept out of this. There's a difference between asking for support and care, and asking for religious acts. For some people it might be the same, for others it certainly isn't.
By the way, I didn't point out that "that the prayers won't do shit".
If you don't like requests for prayers, then just walk away. Better yet, don't click on the thread.

all of that to say that when you're a dick to others, it's fine and dandy, but no one else can be a dick to you.
Make up your mind Alexander. Either you're a dick to others, and you expect it in return, or you're nice to everyone, and you expect it in return. That's what it comes down to. You can call this a conversation about symbols, subjective reality or whatever you want. But it all started because you got sad that someone pulled your own shit on you. So, be nice or don't be nice. But don't get all up in arms when people call you on your shit because you're complaining that you just got shit on.
Your call.

well, Al, you're right, you have been a real jerk. And you're right that Jesus taught that we should forgive those who are, well, real jerks. However, when real jerks don't ask for forgiveness, and then whine when someone does the same stuff to them, I'm more apt to say, "pot, meet kettle!"
So, Mr. Pot, until you publicly apologize to all of the Christians on this board for all of the rude things you've said and/or posted aimed in our direction, you have no right, at all, to be complaining when someone else does it to you.
-
oh.....but if it was a john coltrane thread or something it would have been ok for it to turn into a theological discussion?
well, actually...
anyway, I didn't mean to get all theological on anyone. I was just trying to point out that Alexander has no business EVER trying to complain about someone picking on him, his tastes, beliefs or anything of the sort.
Sorry. Back to the band that jumped the shark with Hello Nasty.

Well, I certainly take exception to being characterized as having "the musical taste of a suburban thirteen year old," and I certainly don't think that I'm the only one who would. Nor do I think I'm being particularly agressive about it. My contention is, and always has been, that I like what I like and no one else has the right to judge me or tell me that I'm wrong to like it (which Clem does, time and time again). I certainly don't come around telling other people what they SHOULD or SHOULD NOT listen to/enjoy. I've never told anyone (to my knowledge) that they are foolish for liking what they like. I might say that they seem a bit closed-minded, but that doesn't seem (to me) to be the same thing at all. You might disagree.
this might be true, but...
You're aggressive about proclaiming your belief system.
You always tell people what they should or shouldn't believe in, when the subject comes up.
And you try to make people who believe differently than you feel that they're foolish for doing so.
Face it, you're EXACTLY the kind of asshole that you proclaim Clem to be, and you're simply getting what you deserve, IMHO.
edited for grammatical idiocy. Thanks for reading.

Congrats, Paul! How can I get a copy? Are you doing CDBaby?
not yet, though I plan on it quickly.
in the meantime, PM me with an address. and I can shoot one off for $14 ($10 for the disc and $4 for priority shipping).
I should probably set up a pay pal acct. too, eh?
thanks!

our debut disc, "mainstreamism" is finally out and about. Don't really know what to say about it. It's black. With a hole in the middle.
samples at: www.myspace.com/paulabellatrio.
I'm working on grabbing one of those players that plays more than five songs so that people can hear the whole thing.
Anyway, if there's any interest, PM me, and I'll give you all the details.
