Free For All

Hey all, I'm in the process of applying for a summer grant that FSU offers to first year faculty members. For my project proposal I was thinking about writing some new arrangements for big band (possibly a future recording project), and choosing tunes by musicians associated w/Florida, who were either from here (like Cannonball) or spent a lot of time here (like Sam Rivers, who I believe was actually born in Oklahoma). Those two alone provide lots of possibilities. Some others who have come to mind: Jaco Eddie Higgins Ira Sullivan (I know Ira primarily as a player, I'm not aware if he's written many tunes) I'm sure there are many who I'm not thinking of. Did GoM ever do a show on this topic? I was hoping that you folks might have some suggestions. Dan maybe? Thanks, I appreciate your help!

"No, the extra large stuffed crust. With sausage and pepperoni. And a diet Coke."

Hope both of you have a very Happy Birthday!

Good game, very exciting. Lower scoring than I expected. Both QBs had a mediocre game, but Brady came through at crunch time. Man, Addai played his ass off! I expect these teams will meet again. That will be interesting I'll bet Conn's a happy fella!

Actually, Roll Call is a Mobley composition.

Once after a very long (like 40+ hours) trip home from Hong Kong I crashed at a friend's apartment and got up in the middle of the night to pee, and woke up realizing I was peeing on his ironing board. I cleaned it up and never 'fessed up.

For me it would be between Stablemates and Along Came Betty. Bill Evans- Time Remembered JJ Johnson- Lament (that was easy) Gigi Gryce- Nica's Tempo Lee Morgan- Ceora Herbie Hancock- Dolphin Dance/Tell Me A Bedtime Story/Driftin'.......that's a tough call....... Ornette- Una Muy Bonita JoeHen- Shade of Jade

How much for "Baby Elephant Walk"?

Robert Duvall in Apocalypse Now..........right?

I must say I do love Will Ferrell's Goulet routines.

This is a great session, on the Artists House label. I only have it on LP, I'd love to see it out on disc. Yes, this was the same group that recorded "Merge".

If you can find it, Jack Wilkins' "You Can't Live Without It" has both Breckers playing on standards in an acoustic setting. I think it's been out on CD combined with another nice Wilkins session featuring Randy called "Merge". ....oh, and welcome to the forum, btown!

30% off through Sunday 11/4

And the G stands for Ghost. Dummy.

Just picked this up at Borders, used my 30% off coupon, so with tax it was about 97 bucks. Looks great, I'll be looking forward to tearing into it this weekend.

NO MONK FOR YOU!! NEXT!!

"We regret the item you chose is not available, but please accept this coupon for 50% off the item of your choice to be applied towards future purchases. Thank you for shopping at Amazon!" No, that's not for real, but it would've been nice, eh?

I have most (not all) of the material already, but the deal was just too good to pass up. Oh well, I need to save the money for the Miles OTC box I'm going to get w/my Borders 30% off coupon...... :rsmile: Geez, it's not like I don't have anything to listen to...........

I'll be interested to hear if anyone actually receives of one of these boxes.

No shit! Way too much. RIP Marchel.
