I can certainly attest to that. Our dog was freaking out, big time. And, when I was growing up, our town paid big bucks for a fireworks display. The town is situated in a valley, and the year we decided to skip the festivities, we realized just how much those booms rumble through the valley (our house is just a couple of miles away) and also just how much it disturbed our Irish Setter.

UP, to find out the status of making each of the approved designs available.

You're right, but the question is, is the first syllable with a UR sound or a OR sound? That's the odd pronunciation I heard (and it wasn't Symphony Sid

Time to get caught up from last week. More Byrd: At the Half Note Cafe Volume 2 Candoli Brothers: Two for the Money Conte Candoli: Powerhouse Trumpet Conten-nuity (on Fresh Sounds and highly recommended) Candoli Live (Nagel Heyer, the last two surely show he was on top of his game at the end of his life) Little Band Big Jazz Old Acquaintance (with Phil Woods) Pete Candoli: The Blues, When Your Lover Has Gone

I'm transferring a Kenny Dorham radio broadcast from the Half Note in NYC, from reel to CD, and I noticed that the DJ called him "Kenny Dur-ham". I always thought it was Kenny "Door-ham". Can someone set me straight? Thanks!

Happy B-Day, Barak!!!

Well, it was our first Fourth in the new house, and quite bad-though not Downtown-Bagdad bad! But seriously, lots of stuff going off throughout the weekend, with the worst yesterday. And on top of that, NO police response for over an hour, and some clown in the neighborhood to our south, on the other side of a canal, was setting off ridiculous stuff that was raining down into our yard. Here's what I will never understand: As I understand it, in the state of Florida, anything bigger than firecrackers are illegal to own/use UNLESS you are a farmer and using it for crop protection against birds or animals or whatever. Definitely, nothing that is shot into the sky is legal. So that's the law; I wish someone could explain why there is a chain of "Firework Superstores" opening all over the place. How can such a business be licensed when its purpose is to sell things that only farmers can have? Its absolutely f-ing outrageous.

If I'm not mistaken, one of Litweiler's '70s DB pieces that should be required reading is an interview/profile of Hank Mobley. Welcome!

This is not the policy anymore. Mike made a mistake and he corrected it. He has no problem allowing me to post about Organissimo's downtime and has repeatedly invited me to do so. We all make mistakes. Yes, you're allowed to post on the status of the server. But no one can speak of Organissimo, or Jazz Corner, for that matter, otherwise.

And in which direction, PD, does the "posts about other bulletin boards will not be tolerated" dictate flow???????

I'm sorry, but being oblong also requires knee removal. I do have you down for being "tasteless, rude and offensive," however.

Yes, and how exactly would you interpret this statement: I think its clear: Ricci came to Alan and said, "hook up with AAJ or we're going to do your same thing only bigger and better, and you'll have nothing left." Alan said kiss off. And, "unfortunately, it didn't work out." I would much sooner help Alan clothe and feed his kids than support a website that won't even allow the mention of other jazz discussion boards. And that's what this boils down to, people: On one site, you can only mention this board in regards to one, special area: the technical status of the server. Yet, on this site, that other site gets to promote itself all over the place. WHAT is wrong with this picture?????

No comment, PD, but here's a fucking clue: Its a Steve Martin comedy routine, not a personal code of conduct. Here's your big hint: "Be obsequious, purple and clairvoyant."

Still on Burrell: Ellington a la Carte Jazz Heritage All-Stars Live at the Blue Note Blues the Common Ground All Night Long Billy Butler: Legends of Acid Jazz Don't Be That Way Donald Byrd & Gigi Gryce: Xtacy Jazz Lab/Modern Jazz Perspective Byrd with Pepper Adams: Out of This World Motor City Scene Byrd and Doug Watkins: Complete Transition Sessions Byrd: In Paris A New Perspective Byrd in Flight Slow Drag Blackjack Mustang Fuego Best of the Soul Jazz Years At the Half Note Volume 1

Well, let's see ... Ricci is trying to drive traffic to his commercial site. What would happen if we tried to drive traffic the other way by posting anything positive about organissimo? What if we posted something about Blindfold Tests or AOTW or Babes (drawn and photo'd)? We know what would happen. Ricci would delete the thread or post. Seems to me Ricci is taking advantage of Jim's admirable "free speech at all costs" position to drive traffic to his site. His commercial site. OK, maybe birthday announcements aren't so bad, but after spamming his upcoming release listing, at the expense of an honorable, respected member of this community, I see no reason to take kindly to more AAJ promotion.

I took the plunge, several months ago, on the Funny Rat. NOT Funny. NOT related to Rats. Related to free jazz, A/G, etc. Safely bypassed ever since.

Can you do a Fusilli Tina Brooks? Uh, shouldn't that be a Fusilli David Fiuczynski?

You're missing mine, Ray? Say it ain't so! What if I mailed yours extra early? Like, say, tomorrow?

Is this board becoming a freaking billboard for AAJ???? How is this being tolerated when the mere mention of this site on his board results in the immediate deletion of the offending message????? (Yes, I know, this SPAMMER allows organissimo messages regarding technical difficulties)

Why would anyone want to deal with this website when Alan Lankin has a perfectly good (no, perfectly excellent) upcoming and recent release page himself? On top of which, Alan is a good guy, doesn't pretend his site is the be-all and end-all of jazz, and has never been known to call members "twits" or make ad hominem attacks. Why give attention to this website when any mention of this site other than its designated technical update thread is met with the censor's sword? Why take attention away from Alan's site? OK, we all know I have issues with Ricci. But even if I didn't, given how he has treated Organissimo in the past, I can't imagine why Jim should happily allow this SPAM.

Thanks again for a fine BFT. This was definitely one to bring back the "you have at least one of the recordings in your collection" rule, as between this and the bonus, I have no fewer than FOUR and I missed every one of 'em. I do very much enjoy the Roy Hargrove disc, though I probably prefer the soul jazz compositions with Griff and Turrentine. And no excuses for missing Very Saxy. Good job!

Well, I have to give a big and thank you to EKE for bringing the John Lewis recording front and center. I'd been aware of this for a long time but never snatched it, but based on that track, I absolutely must correct that failure quickly. Very surprised that my Sweets identification was wrong. And I'm extra embarrased because I have that Buck Clayton CD. AARRGGGHH!!

If I had debts of 38 million, I wouldn't regard 14 million as less than a dent.

There are many available examples of Dexter Gordon introducing NHOP. And, couw's disertation notwithstanding, according to Dex, its PEEEEEEEEE-derson

Usually I'm brown bagging it; usually once a week I'll break up the monotony by going for a sandwich from Arby's (those Market Fresh sandwiches are pretty tasty), Boston Market (why did they drop ham from the menu?) or today, General Tso's Chicken from a cheap and decent chinese store front takeout type place.
