Jim Dye

Hey Jim, sorry that you're selling your horn. I'd buy it in a second, but I won't have the extra scratch until late May. I worked for a while with Suzi Reynolds in New York who now manages Frank Lacy, Howard Johnson and Lynne Arriale. She used to manage Jerome Richardson and Teri Thornton until they passed away a couple years ago. She also did marketing and distribution for TCB Music SA, a Swiss jazz label. Now she is working with Motema records. I can't make any promises, and I'm not sure if she is looking for more clients, but I'd be happy to pass along a CD and press kit to her. You never know! She has a zillion contacts both foreign and domestic.

Jesus! Gates couldn't come up with an original idea to save his life.

Kenny Garrett (gotcha!)

What?? No Simon?

The original US CD release of Larance Marable w/ James Clay - Tenorman. Not technically a BN, but part of the first Blue Note CD reissue program in the late 80s.

Man, I love Elderly Instruments. I don't even play guitar and I love Elderly! The place has such a great vibe.

Yeah, that Fish Heads video was bizarre. Barnes and Barnes? that seems right. My favorite 80's video would have to be Rainbow - Can't Happen Here. A bunch of flashing images of apocalyptic events. Wild at the time.

First, let me say I was sorry to hear about the demise of Jutta Hipp. Second, I don't know why everyone lets themselves get so worked up over Deep. If you don't like what he has to say, use the ignore function. Personally, I find him entertaining. If you can get by the bold and crude statements, there is a lot of knowledge to be mined from his posts. Was his post about Ms. Hipp in poor taste? Absolutely, but it cracked me up. But I have been known to have a 'sick' sense of humor. If you don't like it, again, just use the ignore function... Does everything connected with Blue Note have to be sacred?

Home Is Africa, Baby!

I had an original copy of Elvin Jones - Puttin' It Together from 1987, before the collectors choice series that was black/silver. It came directly from CEMA, Not a record club pressing. They must have run out of blue ink that day... No rhyme or reason, just an oddity.

I had the wonderful opportunity to be in the studio with Teri during the recording of I'LL BE EASY TO FIND. I was working for her producer/manager at the time. It will always be a very special record for me. Check the liners, kids, and you'll see my first credit. Production Assistant. Sounds exciting, but it really means that I went and picked up the take-out chinese food. Seriously, it was a great session. My favorite tune on the record is Nature Boy. Seeing that come together was incredible. The horns are actually overdubbed. It was a trio performance live in the studio. I think I may have some outtakes somewhere on a cassette.

I actually built myself a PC recently and have been using Windows for the first time in years. My old PowerBook would choke on OS X, so I gave up. I plan on installing FreeBSD or Linux on a separate partition and jumping back into the UNIX fold again.

Over at the new Jazz Corner. No one has jumped yet... Say, how did you like the Maupin?

Very funny! I posted it in the 'What are you listening to' thread at another forum.... Should get a rise out of someone

I received mine yesterday as well. Ordered it on the 20th. Pretty darn quick I say!Haven't given it a spin yet. What's up with the tiny cursive font they use? VERY hard to read.... I'm gettin' old.

Hey Joe G, I was at that Bungle show at St. Andrews back in '91 too. Crazy shit, but a lot of fun.

Thank you for that Mike!

Speakeasy is back. Be sure to refresh your browser! :rsmile:

Not sure what happened. I didn't see any spamming this morning and I was checking in quite frequently. They must have jumped on it pretty quick...

I tried, but I couldn't get my avatar down to half speed....

Well, I finished my first Flash avatar! I have to work on the quality a bit, but it's tough keeping the file size down as well.

Boney Gumbo DuPree I'll go by B.G. Dupree. It has a better ring to it. __________ GO PISTONS!

Hey, it's a lot better than an avatar I saw on a different BBS. Someone took a close-up picture of their injured, bloody big toe and made it their avatar. Blecch! :rsmile:

Oh Shit! Maybe I shouldn't move back to lansing after all....
