Pittsburgh Steelers, circa 1972 or so. Also Packers, late 60s.

Never noticed that. Must get the disc out again! Use headphones. You can hear the chair creak as he breathes & leans back between phrases. I actually think it's pretty cool.

Happy belated birthday, Kevin!

Clark Terry's noisy clacking valves on his duo recording w/Oscar Peterson. Miles' squeaking studio chair on Old Folks (on Someday my Prince will Come).

Yeah MAVS!

Right on! Imagine him playing Wayne's "Infant Eyes" while we're at it. Or "Miyako".

So was this one! ....as was this one! 2-2 series- I hope it goes 7. I think the Mavs really need to win Game 5 'cause I don't think they can win both games in Miami.

This is starting to look like aloc's thread.

Shawn, The shared love of music is what brought us here. The friendships are what sustain us. I found a lot of comfort here when I went through the process of my divorce back in '06. I haven't met most of the folks here, but I consider many of them to be close friends. I for one hope you stick around- I always enjoy reading your posts and value your opinions, and consider you to be a friend. Of course you've gotta do what you gotta do- I respect that and I hope that you can find what you need to be happy, and that you come by to say hi when possible. We'll be here. Best of luck to you, Shawn!

I see she's grabbing some timber. I wonder if he fondled her kunis?

I agree about the weird reverb, but I'll go for anything w/Thad on it.

Happy Birthday!

So has anyone here heard his jazz flute CD?

So was this one!

That's the first one I thought of, and one of my favorites.

I just heard via Robin Eubanks that Ray Bryant (who was his uncle) passed away. Haven't seen any obits yet. Sad news.

Nice haul!

PM sent.

I love it! That beats out my previous favorites which included "launching a sea pickle", "hanging a moose" (no offense, Mark) and "dropping the kids off at the pool".

Amazing! Repeated from different angles, different camera locations. Follows the boosters from launch to separation to splashdown.

Discussed here

To those already listed I'll add: Darcy James Argue Guillermo Klein Django Bates Already mentioned, but I'm a big fan of Kenny Wheeler's large ensemble writing. Not really big band, but I also really like Vince Mendoza's large ensemble writing. Sorry to say I'm not a fan of Gordon Goodwin's big band. Some really great LA players, but his writing doesn't interest me. It's like cartoon music for big band, very flashy but little of substance AFAIC. The Kenny Wheeler I'd recommend starting with is his "Music for Large and Small Ensembles" (ECM). Great music!
