  1. Pardon my ignorance, but do "half-speed" audiophile remasters play at the usual 33 1/3 or what?
  2. When I found out his name is *already* "Coltrane" I knew we had to adopt him! On the edit, as usual, I am unable to attach the picture so its not really the thread I wanted to start. Anywhoo, my wife's grown quite distressed at the lack of an animal presence in our home since the demise of our beloved Bailey, and so it looks like we are heading to the Humane Society this weekend to pick up our new companion. She went by herself yesterday and saw a schipperke mix, really adorable looking and when she looked up at the name and saw that it was "Coltrane" she knew she had to tell me about it. So, I'm going to see the dog this afternoon to make a decision, but because it was a stray that was picked up, the original owners have til Saturday to claim him before we get first dibs. How am I gonna tell Coltrane that I really don't care for his namesake's later work? B)
  3. A darn good one is Brian Lynch's effort for Sharp Nine, Tribute To The Trumpet Masters. Brian and Mulgrew Miller, with a mix of tunes, both originals inspired by players and tunes the trumpet masters are known for. Highly recommended.
  4. I want you to know I picked mine in memory of the old "women" threads. Sure, I could have picked some small shot of some fine looking lady, but when I found the animated image, I said, "call off the search!"
  5. Jazz is definitely an anytime, all the time thing for me. Its true that I get a lot of hearing done in the car, but I don't really find that I can listen that closely-usually I'm competing with the music by cursing out the drivers around me The problem with evening listening is when my wife isn't working late, she's more likely to be watching TV or having TV on, so the best time for home listening is weekends, particularly Sunday morning with the newspaper, and also the hour or 90 minutes I'll have between getting home from work and making dinner/watching the news. ****** I realize now that this comment is kind of off-topic or at least very tangential. To answer the question, I can't say that jazz speaks more to me at any particular time of the day. I do however find that certain albums work very well in a dark room, for example Blue Hour and Kind of Blue .
  6. I think it will, Matthew, as the people here are cool, and its not only got the vibe of BN building, but its almost developing that "private club" atmosphere, or the bar "where everybody knows your name (or handle)". Maybe its the shared trauma of the way the BNBB went down, but the presence of here of familiar people and an easy atmosphere makes it very comfy. Heck, I'm so happy to still be "around" you guys, I haven't the slightest urge to start posting on the politics thread!
  7. I really dug that collective effort on the ongoing sci-fi story starring Aric. I kept trying to move it toward dark violent avenues and then the next guy would bring it back to the light, though. Too bad, there were some real good writing and plot twists, I wish someone kept it.
  8. Jazzbo is Lon. And yes, I am the former GHF. Hey-if you want to address me, "Dan" is just as short!
  9. I used to terrorize, I mean, contribute to a bulletin board hosted by the most famous record label in the history of jazz. Can I come here to play?
  10. Well, this ain't happening for me. Yes, I put http:// before the URL. Yes, I right clicked and copied and pasted the URL from the properties tab. And this is what I get: Sorry, dynamic pages in the tags are not allowed
  11. Well, the error message I get is something about "dynamic pages" in the image code or something. I tried linking from AAJ and then I uploaded the image to photovillage, won't work from either one. ARGH! You guys 'd be laughing but I can't make it work!
  12. I was trying to have some fun with the fact that Greg is now homeless, but while I see that avatar images can be used, I can't seem to link images? Or am I missing something?
  13. Ding dong the witch is dead! Here's the latest message from the dude who sent Chuck packing from AAJ: quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by Pharaohrock I said you won. I'm not going to hang out here. Have your forum. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  14. The Fantasy website still lists this as available. I'd be surprised if its OOP as so few of their reissues seem to reach that sad state. Of course, if you really prefer the LP you're on your own.
  15. Yes! And does anyone know if his appearance on Bobby Timmons "Live at the Connecticut Jazz Part" was his last? Or was it Bobby's last? Anyway, just got that one a couple of weeks ago and I was wondering where it fit in since there's not much info on the cover.
  16. Get the Sonny Red OJC, I think its titled Red Green and Blue because he's with Blue Mitchell and Grant Green among others. Someone else will pop in with which two Riverside LPs the reissue contains, but its an excellent hard boppin' disc.
  17. She didn't say she wouldn't bring it to his attention, just that it doesn't apply to her as she does not have the appendage in question!!
  18. I know you're talking musical gigs but this gives me an opening to tell y'all about my big voice over gig I just booked: Its not the $$ (though its not bad), its the city my 30 sec radio spot will air: L.A., the second largest market in the country!!!! First time, if you can't tell!!!
  19. Junior Mance (the greatest blues player left, since Gene Harris passed) Cedar Walton Harold Mabern Eddie Higgins (hearing him live here in Florida makes all the difference) Mulgrew Miller
  20. Is it just me or does it seem like this software goes to a new "page" much quicker than most? I notice some threads with maybe 30 or 40 posts and they are on page three, and none of the posts are that long. Is this a software setting perchance? Not really an issue to me as I am DSL wherever I log on, but I thought I'd mention it.
  21. I got it, I got it! "J Larsen Ken Burns Was Right!" Even if you don't agree, it's the perfect nails-on-blackboard signature to tick him off!!!
  22. Actually I went with "Middle Age guy with desk job and encyclopedic knowledge of the Connoisseur Series"
  23. Haven't decided if I will put the "ignore" function on-I like to know what dipshits are saying, especially if it is about me or my friends, but I have changed my signature to "Middle Age Guy With Encyclopedic knowledge of Connoisseur Series"
  24. OK, folks, here's the latest from the infamous P-Rock: "More lippiness. Smack being talked by middle-aged guys with desk jobs.....what is THAT worth?? 27 years old, yes= but at least I play an instrument and have a deeper understanding of music besides which Connoisseurs are the hardest to find and all of that mindless pecuniary bullshit." After tearing him a new one, maybe I'll just stay right here after all.
