Bought my first jazz album on vinyl as a teenager. I was working at a record and stereo store in Banff, Alberta (Nexus Sound), and we got a shipment of many of those Pathe Marconi Blue Note albums. I opened the box, and saw perhaps the most badass record cover ever (and I was into punk and hardcore at the time, so had seen many a badass cover)...
Sonny Rollins, Vol. 2. Had to buy it on the spot. That album changed my life. Thank you Sonny!!!
I really dug the drumming on that album, so the next day I bought Indestructible!
The trumpet knocked me out, and the only album we had in the store that had Lee Morgan on it was Evolution... so I bought it. Holy shit, what a game-changer that was!
The vibes on that album was something else, but the only album in the store that had Hutch on it was Out To Lunch... so the next week I bought that too.
And that was it. I was hooked for life. I have learned more about this music than I could have ever imagined from the wisdom of y'all on this board (and the old BNBB before that)... spent far more $$$ than I would have ever expected, too!
Great thread!

Ah man, another good one gone. Thanks for all the music Mr. Bailey.
RIP, and may your spirit continue to soar!

Thanks for the memories, Mr. Butch.

Thanks GA!
Although I like the Hawks, I'm cheering for the Dockers this time around... it's always nice to see someone win it for their very first time.

yeah, that's the bulldog's ox, or whatever the phrase is.
JS, the phrase I think you're looking for is "the dog's bollocks."
And hell yes, this set most certainly is the dog's bollocks! I can't wait to hear it.

Of course, the first one was this (in the LT series):
I know most folks hate that cover, but I love it. There's something to it that is just so... spellbinding.

Finally.
I wonder in what way Sunenblick will acknowledge my involvement, if at all.
Bertrand.
Maybe you'll get a complimentary copy of the CD?
I look forward to hearing this!

One of the best live Jazz shows I've ever seen in my life was when I saw Jackie McLean at the Village Vanguard in a quartet setting. The rhythm section was Cedar, David Williams & Billy Higgins. What an incredible night that was. I'll always remember that night. Me & Josh Heisler sitting right in front of Jackie, so close that we could read "Jackie McLean" etched into his alto's bell.
I did the exact same thing at the VV gigs. In addition to his name on the bell, I still vividly remember Jackie's gold rings dancing across the saxophone.
RIP, Mr. Walton. I was fortunate to see you play many times live, and you were always a gracious, humble, and wonderful man. My life was made better because of you, and all I can offer is my most hearftfelt thanks.
May your spirit continue to soar!

I've had burgers at 7 of the 10 "chains" mentioned in this article (I'm somewhat saddened by this). Shake Shack, although good, should be nowhere near the top of this list.
If one were to look at the ratio of price-to-deliciousness, I think In-N-Out probably takes the title. I love 5 Guys, but the price is a bit steep (great fries, though!). Forget about Umami and their price... hell, they shouldn't even be on this list as they are more a "restaurant" rather than a "chain."
Is it fortuitous or sad that I live within 20 miles of 5 of the top 10 chains on this list? My arteries can't decide...

I... I... don't know what to say other than damn, this one hurts. Really hurts.
Donald Byrd was very important to me... he was an inspiration and a model... he was THE MAN, you know?
Rest in peace, Dr. Byrd. May your spirit continue to soar.

Was any of this recorded? If so, is it circulating out there?

Any chance San Fran ever gets an NBA team in the near future?
Yes, there is in fact a 99% chance. The name of the team is the Warriors.
Dang, I need to pay more attention... I had no idea such a thorough plan was in place. I hope this goes through, especially if no tax payer dollars are used to fund the move. The facility location looks good (as do some of the renderings), and I guess 2017 will get here soon enough for San Fran fans.

GO Lakers!!!
Just sayin'.
Wait, you're a Lakers fan? You don't see too many Giants fans who are also Lakers fans these days... although it makes sense since cheering for the Warriors is simply a lost cause.

If you want to see the most recent post, click on the icon (usually a star or circle) at the left of the topic title, not on the topic title itself.
Thanks Jim, that works perfectly!

One thing I regret is that when you check a page you are not directed to the last current post but to the top of the last page
I'm getting this "problem" as well. I've tried switching from "Content I Have Not Read" and "New Since My Last Visit" in the "View New Content" link, but every time I click a page I am directed to the very first page/post of the thread. It's frustrating...
I'm using and iPad 2, if that helps anything.
Other than that I like the new look!

Put up due to a request:
The avatar distorts the real picture.
This nearly got chosen as the avatar:
Thanks Bev... great shots! I need to visit Cornwall one of these days.

. (I've never appreciated the spectator angle on any sport, but that's just me.)
Glad you said that. Sport is great - I do as much as I can - but spectating?
Yeah, being a musician is great - I do as much as I can - but just being a listener/spectator?

A photo I took last year of two ruined tin mine engine houses on the coast of Cornwall near St Just at sunset.
I'll put a bigger copy up when I get home on Monday - it's one of those right time, right place snaps. We must have an avatar thread somewhere.
I'd love to see a larger photo, as this is a great shot. I'll look for it on Monday!
-
Bev, what do have pictured in your avatar? It's beautiful...
Oh, and to keep this on thread... I will have BBQ sauce, Texas-style!

He looked pretty good at last night's premiere of the Rolling Stones "Crossfire Hurricane" documentary.

Is the Tiger on that program on LSD? Those eyes are freakin' me out!

Tunes dedicated to people other than, say, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Florence Mills, or Willie "The Lion" Smith
You're gonna hate the new organissimo CD then!

Check out the announcement for a new Blue Note app for iPad that was released today:
http://m.news.emihosting.com/nl/jsp/m.jsp?c=43853b2fb80d8c0e22
The app is actually pretty nice... it contains 30-second sound samples for a ton of BN albums, album covers, short bios of most BN artists (mostly the hard bop folks of the 50s-60s), some cool old newspaper clippings from the 50s-60s, etc..
And, if you're willing to pay $1.99/£1.49 per month, you have unlimited access to full songs ("up to 320kbps quality") from the catalog.
NOTE: The full BN catalog is definitely NOT available from my brief surfing of the app.
