Jeez, if I can do it, anyone can!

Branford Marsalis- Eternal thread It was very easy to find.

British label, mainly Classical, that did some very good modern jazz (Michael Garrick, Norma Winstone etc). Part of the Decca group. AND MADE SCORES - PERHAPS HUNDREDS - OF LPs OF STEAM TRAINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (And they all sold quite well!) MG My dad was an avid model railroader and had many of these records. Riveting stuff. The REAL "Blue Train".

Grilled lime/tequila marinated beef loin, grilled asparagus (coming into season, getting cheaper), corn on the cob and baked potato. Just felt like it.

I've got one. I'll save it for the thread.

Who was reading them before?

No, not at all. Just getting a feel for the place. I think that's a great way to integrate into the community.

I don't think he realized that Quincy's post was a joke. Regarding the Braith-o-bone.........I'll get back to you on that, my dear......

At best he's half the player Kirk is. This could be debated, but I'm not going to give the board any bait with this one. I will say Roland wishes he was half the composer Shorter was I do know that. How do YOU know what Rahsaan wishes? I'm not sure why it's necessary to rank them. Different players, different approaches. Apples and oranges. Both are great and have contributed a lot to the music.

Great to hear from you! Welcome back!

I clicked, but I didn't inhale.

Now he clicks, now he snaps.

Wow, amazing. Thanks for compiling all that, SS! There are many things that I'd LOVE to hear! Have the tapes for the Silver tentet ever been located? And all those takes from the Horace/JoeHen/Carmell band! I can't believe there isn't some good material in there!

Thad & Mel Big Band; Grinnell, Iowa (!) late 70s Joe Henderson/Al Foster/Ron Carter; Village Vanguard, mid-80s Henry Threadgill & Very Very Circus; Chicago Jazz Fest, mid-90s Clayton/Hamilton Big Band; Greeley, CO April 2007

The Byas recording that first blew me away was a cut on the Smithsonian collection. It was I Got Rhythm, done as a duo with Slam Stewart, full of hard swing, impeccable time and a ton of contemporary harmonic content. I became a fan at that point!

Electric Heart Not sure if it's been discussed on any of the Ellis threads, but John Vizzusi has a documentary on Don Ellis comnig out that looks pretty interesting. Anyone here seen it yet?

I'll second that with a laurel and hearty "type here"!

My Vista fully blows.

No, "hush".

Well, my contempt for Vista has been well documented here. My OS has been buggy at every turn. I'd much prefer XP. I'm going back to Mac very soon. YMMV.

Damn! This one I missed out on. You lucky SOB!
