That Natalie Portman rap is HILARIOUS.

Et Cetera is my favorite Wayne session from the Blue Note years. The performances by all five musicians are unbelievable. Guy Agreed. I find Et Cetera (and Schizophrenia for that matter) to be much more enjoyable (IMO) than Speak No Evil, Ju Ju, etc.

I'd like to get a copy of the photo inside the Chess Soulero release, Burrell in a train(?) station..

It Don't Mean A Thing, 'less the Sonar Goes Ping.

Count me in as a Jackson devotee. His early work can be a "tad" overwrought at times, but by the time he settled at Prestige he was right in the proverbial groove.

I would've loved to have been in the audience for ANY Red Garland gig....

Wow, I find that surprising. To me, the Byrd's are some of the most enjoyable Blue Note sessions. I think I could live without most of the Hubbard, Shorter, Henderson dates (except for Goin' Up, Etc & Our Thing)

Agreed. I would put Feelin' The Spirit in the classics genre, it nails the mood perfectly. If you adore Midnight Blue, Idle Moments & Blue Hour...Feelin' The Spirit is probably also a favorite (or it should be).

Haven't picked it up yet, but definitely interested. Moore is joined by Robert Walter & guitarist Will Bernard. Think Skerik makes a guest appearance... It's on Telarc (!) I've really enjoyed both of his previous solo releases.

As a Seahawks fan I must say the footage of Ben getting sacked 9 (!) times filled me with great happiness and joy.

Now you are the one who is nuts. How do you spell pretentious? ELP.

No I'm not...I just have my own opinions.

I'm looking forward to this one...hell, might go out and see it tonight....

I lived with my Grandmother till I was 4, my first exposure to music was the records that my Mother & my Uncle had left behind when they both went to college. I fondly remember those 45's...Rolling Stones, Steppenwolf, The Beatles, The Guess Who, Badfinger, etc...plus albums like Bill Cosby's Himself, Pet Sounds, Beggar's Banquet... Later when I went to live with my Mother I started listening to CSN&Y, Jim Croce, Seals & Crofts, James Taylor, Judy Collins, Janis Joplin, The Doobie Brothers, etc. When I was 6 years old (1976) I discovered Kiss...that was when our paths diverged. I think the last album we both loved (at that time) was Heart's Dreamboat Annie. Kiss was followed by Boston, Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, AC/DC, etc. She got tired of listening to that stuff so she decided to turn me on to "higher quality" rock: Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Queen, Yes and others. I diverged yet again when I discovered Iron Maiden & Judas Priest (1981 by this point). Again she questioned my taste and again she countered with bands that she enjoyed: Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple & Black Sabbath. I'll always be grateful for that..I still listen to them today. (I've never quite figured out how I missed Zeppelin during the 70's, I listened to the radio all the time but I never owned a copy of Zep 4 until 1982) It's funny that she has never gotten used to my love for jazz. She appreciates the talent involved but it just doesn't "hit" her. It's okay though, we can still hang out and crank In Rock to 11.

This guy isn't worth 9 pages of comments...

I hate Keith Emerson...I like Greg Lake...but Emerson REALLY makes my teeth soft. I can definitely hear the jazz influence in Don Airey (an underrated player imo).

It's been nice knowing you Jake Plummer...hope you enjoy riding the bench for the rest of the season... The Chiefs have a DEFENSE! Larry Johnson is flat out scary toting the rock...157 yards against Denver's formerly stout D. Guilty Pleasure of Thursday...watching Joey Harrington put the smack down on his old team.

Impressive game yesterday! I'm sure he'll experience a "meltdown game" at some point...but right now he's amazingly solid. That Giants game will tell the tale, if they survive that game then I see a long run through the post season...

This one really hurts. Anita was more than a "vocalist", she was a master improviser. There should be a picture of her beside "Hip" in the dictionary. Rest In Peace.

Marty will find a way............................... Browns fans are so t-e-s-t-y.

After watching the Giants self-destruct on MNF...I would say Dallas is poised to win the division. Can they beat Chicago? Even bigger question: Can they beat San Diego? Can ANYBODY beat San Diego?

I think Romo is the real deal. I'll admit that I was wrong in my initial blame on the offensive line of the Cowboys...but now it seems obvious that they CAN block for the quarterback...it's just that now they WANT to block for Romo. When the line doesn't respect the quarterback...he's going to be looking skyward alot... Romo is not only calm on the field, but he's also showing poise in his dealings with the media, etc. I think he has what it takes to succeed. I have this strange feeling that somebody else will be kicking next week....

C'mon woman...I've got cottenmouth like a mutha...

36 Years old...and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.... All I've been able to figure out is things that I DON'T want to do...

up with a few more titles.
