Free For All

I like First Flight too, especially because Frank Rosolino is on it.

Ha! I loved the Night & Day schtick. I was waiting for the slide to go flying off. I'm not sure how good she had to be for her play, but she's got a ways to go. BTW, I'm steering clear of those female trombonists.

Will there be pi?

Pizza and a tossed salad. Decided to do the pizza differently tonight. Used a deep-dish pan (actually just a cake pan) and put the mozzerella on the bottom, then sausage, black olives, sauce and parmesan & seasoning. Kind of a Chicago-style attempt. It sure has a different flavor when you do it that way- the melted cheese at the bottom is great.

Just had a PM exchange with our good friend aloc. Glad to report he's doing well!

Sounds like a potential serious hang. Wish I could be there!

Great news SS! I hope to visit Austin sometime soon and hear you play.

Of all the various attempts to animate Giant Steps this one is my favorite, really fun to watch and very well done as far as the synchronization. It's interesting to study this solo, Trane definitely has some favorite licks- check out what he does in bars 9 and 14 (which both have the same changes) over the course of the solo. One thing about these tunes, like GS, Countdown, Satellite....he never really played them again after the studio recordings, almost like they were intended to be exercises, a means to an end. Are there any live versions of these tunes?

I'm certainly interested. Absolutely! I'm sure many here would be interested. And to answer your question- yes, everyone can see what you post. If you prefer, there is a personal message function to communicate privately with other board members. But I think many here (myself included) would be interested in what you have to say! Again, welcome!

Well, I hope SOMEBODY does it!

Thanks guys!

It sure seems to me like a little quality control would save them the expense of repeatedly having to make these corrections. Doesn't anyone there bother to check the final product before it goes out? Hell, send 'em to me, I'll do it for free. I want to see Blue Note succeed as much as anyone.

Good haul, save!

I recently watched Woodstock. An amazing time in our history that will never be repeated. Also recommended on DVD: Festival Express I've also been reading Tom Brokaw's book Boom!. Very interesting read.

Thanks again everyone. Much appreciated.

Just got back from seeing it. A little long, a little unintentionally funny in spots, but overall very entertaining and some great escapist entertainment (and great visually). I am glad I knew a little about the story going in. I haven't read the comic, if I had I'd probably have been more critical. At times it reminded me of Bladerunner. I also liked the music, some nice Philip Glass in there.

Where are these trombone babes? They must be hiding from me. Interesting to look up who shares your birthday. Of course, I knew about Bix, but I didn't know that this was also Osama bin Laden's birthday...yikes. Also FWIW, Sharon Stone was born same day, same year. She looks a hell of a lot better than I do.

Happy Birthday Al! Come visit us when you can!

Thanks everyone! FSU is on spring break this week, so I am enjoying some time off. No big plans, just relaxing a bit. The weather is beautiful this week so I'm thinking about taking a drive down to the beach. Much appreciation as always to my many friends here. This place continues to be my favorite cyber-hang.

Dynasty showed up in the mail today- really a nice side, but I'm going to have to get some kind of magnifying glass to read those liner notes.

Happy Birthday JJ!

I'm definitely convienced. His highs are very high.

Happy Birthday!
