Well, that would be my vote. I don't feel like the Trane is too "far out" at all. IMHO it's very accessible and very, very good. I listen to that and it reaffirms my awe of the man. Same for the Miles. I have a limited tolerance for really out stuff and I really love both in the sense that I will continue to pull them out repeatedly. Both are great examples of music at a very high level. I'll be curious to hear what you think GA!

Every now and then I play with a certain lead trumpeter who fancies himself a screamer but in reality is not very happening. He has been awarded the nickname of "Can't Anderson".

A quick check at CDUniverse reveals: (no. of CDs credited to artist) Bill Evans 237 Oscar Peterson 222 Keith Jarrett 138 Herbie Hancock 125 Chick Corea 125 A very unofficial survey for sure.

The only one who might be close that I can think of is OP.

Don't forget the sequel!

I should have included Use3D in my initial post. Thanks to you too man! I see Alison has now established her own online persona- "ophelia". Welcome Alison! I hope we're around long enough to start reading Zora's posts.

Wow, that was a trip down memory lane. I was still just a lurker when all that went down. Musicboy was (and I'm sure continues to be) a real dweeb. Glad to see Dan Gould has mellowed from those days. Say, as long as there's no big problem with derailing this particular thread, what was the outcome of the whole Mnytime saga? I've forgotten what happened.

I assume you've found this one, the big t-shirt party.

Hey, lookie who's here! With her very own handle!

Damned if there aren't a lot of birthdays lately!

Have a happy!

I hear they're known for their Ghicken wings there.

Is Ghuck making the trip to Ghicago?

He died in 2001 at the age of 87. Not sure what cause of death was.

No relevance here, just a funny picture.

Best getcherself one o' these. A sodium orgy! I gar-ron-tee! Nice to see you around again, Mark!

I'm sorry I won't be able to be there on "Friday The Thirteenth"! Do you guys do that tune? I hope you guys have a great time! I think you will be very well received. Dave Jemilo is a great guy. Great crowds on weekends- pretty loud but enthusiastic, energetic and appreciative. Hopefully some of the local players will come check it out. Yes, it is a smoky place. You may have to burn your clothes. Have a great gig! I'll look forward to hearing about it!

You mean John Amos. I was sorry to see his Fitzwallace character killed on West Wing. Very likeable guy and a very good actor. EDIT: Just ordered Seinfeld seasons 5 and 6. $40 bucks for both. Thanks for the heads up SS!

You meant before 1965, right?

Yes, the critical measuring stick!

I'll have to check out the solo on "The Cooker". I've always loved that solo, there's one bridge he does in one breath (or so it seems), but I'm not sure if it's derivative of other versions. That was his nearly his first BN, right? Was there an earlier recorded solo? "Lee's Tunisian Permutations"- great thread title, John!

I've been on many flights where there were hard or wind-shear related landings. In particular, several flights into Cleveland and Dallas were quite rough, must be the location in regard to wind currents and such. The weirdest flight was one in Italy where we went in to land and just before we touched down (you know that moment) suddenly the plane accelerated and we went back up in the air. Never found out why, although I think that there was another plane in the landing path. Yikes! I still am amazed that such a huge, heavily loaded chunk of metal can get up into the air. I'm grateful each time I return to earth safely. I flew to a gig after 9-11, shortly after flights were OK-ed. It was weird, there was almost NO ONE on the plane. All the flight attendants seemed kind of shell-shocked or something, certainly understandably so! Edited (as always) for spelling.........
