Jim Dye

So far, everyone has signed up for disc 2. So much for the 'too much to digest' argument. It seems everyone has their pipes in good order. A note to everyone: If you do want both discs, you are in no way obligated to comment on the bonus disc. There may be a lot of DKDC's coming.

Thanks Randy. I still owe you some comments and will post my thoughts shortly. Heck, I still owe John and even Jim R some comments too. I don't think there is a statute of limitations for these tests!

Deus62, I didn't receive your email. Please try sending it again! P.S. You're now on the list.

Right you are! Its the former, and the list has been updated. Keep 'em comin' folks!

Well, it's not too far out for some, but I could see our friend in Coconut Creek asking me for 80 minutes of his life back.

:rsmile: :rsmile: :rsmile: :rsmile: :rsmile: :rsmile: :rsmile: :rsmile: Now that discussion for BT7 is underway, it's time to get the ball rolling for BT8 Send an email with your mailing address to jimdye@gmx.net to sign up for Blindfold Test 8. (Please also include your Organissimo Jazz Forums user name if it is different from your real name.) Some Blindfold Test participants have felt that 2 full discs of music is a bit too much to digest. Others feel that any amount of free music is just fine for them. I have decided to try something that is somewhat of a compromise. I have compiled 2 discs of music for this test. Disc 1 is the official Blindfold Test #8. However, I put together an additional disc of music that I am calling a 'Bonus Disc'. This 'Bonus Disc' contains music I wish to share, but is IMHO either too far out, or too long to include in the official Blindfold Test. If you just want to participate only in the official BT8, just note in your email to me that you want the 'disc one only'. If you wish to receive the 'Bonus Disc' as well, just say something like 'both discs, please', or 'disc one and bonus', and you will recieve both discs. Thanks and I look forward to sending you some great music soon! :rsmile: :rsmile: :rsmile: :rsmile: :rsmile: :rsmile: :rsmile: :rsmile:

My uncle had and may still have one of these. About 20 years ago, He let me borrow it to take my girlfriend to the prom. For a short time, my dad had one of the big block vettes. a 1970 model in Classic White with the 454. My mom said that it was the only car that she was ever afraid to drive. Too powerful. I was way too young to drive, but I do remember riding in it.

Thanks, D.

cover back Has anyone heard this session? Looks mighty interesting

Ellery posts quite often over at Jazz Corner. Oops. Just mentioned another board.

True, but on the internet, things like this tend to get blown out of proportion. A flame war would not be good for anyone. Sticks and Stones.

Although I agree with the sentiment, I don't think this is a good idea. How about we take the high road and just ignore them?

I think Oranges and Lemons is a good place to start as well. Gotta have 'Mermaid Smiled' on Skylarking. It just fits the flow so much better.... ...I think 'Dear God' is brilliant as well.... B)

Nice to see you posting again.

The Funk medley was just OK. Could have been MUCH better. Looked very unrehearsed. I though the Sandoval/Timberlake number was awful. Nothing of any musical substance there. Just a lot of hot air and posing. The final Outkast performance (Hey Ya) before they won Album of the Year was the only performance worth mentioning. It was really good and a lot of fun IMHO. Timberlake and Aguilera win Grammys?? Something is horribly wrong here. For all the talk about the Grammys 'getting back to the music', this was one of the worst years in recent memory. It always sucks when its in LA. Keep it in NYC!!!

Damn! 229 comments already . I am a slacker! Here goes... 1.1 - Great bop band to start! I'll hazard a guess that the Tenor soloist is....ummmm....I don't know. A bit raucous, and that's a good thing! I liked it. 1.2 - Aha! Woody! I love this tune. I could listen to this stuff all day long. 1.3 - Interesting, loping melody. It's pretty good. I like the saxophone (weird sounding soprano) solo. Bobby on vibes? I warmed up to it more as the song progressed. 1.4 - Rahssan? No, but i like it! Yeah! Quite a groove. Very fun. 1.5 - Wow. I must find this record. Very hypnotizing groove. Bordering on the out, but keeping it in. This tune reminds me the piano is a percussion instrument. 1.6 - Someone in the twilight of her career. I don't recognize the singer or the song, but it's nice. Wait! It's a duet. Is that Nina Simone? Hmmm... I need to brush up on my singers. 1.7 - Interesting instrumentation. Almost didn't know a sax was in there until he started wailing. Very nice. 1.8 - A lot of space in this song. I really like it. I think so far this is my favorite. 1.9 - Ellington? Hodges? What more can you say. I need to spend some serious time with Duke. 1.10 - JC making CHs masterpiece his own. I love the sound of these Atlantic recordings. One of the first records that sucked me in. 1.11 - ??? No clue. Not too fond of the vocalist. Good groove though. Disc 2 comments to come later.

Hey Tim! Good to see you here. I think you lose your newbie status after 10 posts here. You're half way there!

I saw a vinyl copy of this for 7.99 at a local used shop. It's the connoisseur pressing from a few years back. Anyone interested? I'll grab it for you if it's still there.

My sincere condolences, Tom.

Jim (B3-er), Can you connect to thechain's mail server? I have not been able to get in since this morning. Thanks. [EDIT - never mind. I can get in now.]

Fight #1 Fight #2 Fight #3

I really wish someone had archived that K******opolis thread. That was some of the funniest shit I have ever read on a jazz BBS. I will never look at Miracle Whip the same way again.

Here here!

Jim Dye was not on the Master List so far. But if he can fill the gap, which would be convenient for Daniel A, I have no objections. Any volunteers are welcome. We should keep in mind that things like this can happen any time, so we should have our playlists ready a step or two in advance! #8 sounds great to me so long as no one has a problem with me stepping in. I was actually tapped on the shoulder to do #4 before the master list concept came about, but I was way too busy at the time. I never got around to signing up again. If it's cool with everyone here, i'll take 8. I don't wan't to ruffle any feathers though.
