We're also on the $9 plan here, and we love it. We also have the Roku box... lots of good stuff available (over the internet) for no additional monthly fees.

Very sorry to hear this. Thinking positive thoughts for him.... ....and for you too, Chuck! Seconded.

"Blood Sutra" is one of my favorite Iyer discs... highly recommended! (and now that I think about it, I have that one from eMusic, but I'd prefer to have the "real thing". PM sent! )

This is probably a minority opinion around here, but very little of the J.J. Johnson Mosaic box has ever really hit me.

I tried to buy some washing machine suspenders, but the guy at the store told me that a bunch of old farts from Iowa, Illinois, and Michigan have bought them all out!

Yes. All I know is that any problem can be solved through better marketing. No deep thinking required.

If the only thing that needs to happen is "thinking hard about how to pitch it to young listeners", then it doesn't deserved to be "saved".

I just replaced the belt on our washing machine. No duct tape, WD-40, or hammers required, just a phillips screwdriver and a cold beer.

:cool:

That's what I thought of first!

Take a look at Comodo. I've been using the (free) firewall/anti-virus product for at least a year now (it replaced both AVG and Zone Alarm), and it seems to be well regarded. I haven't had any virus issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything -- all of my email is handled on my (Linux) laptop. Also, the firewall feature can be somewhat over-zealous. I (initially) got tons of "warnings" about things that weren't really problems. But, after a little bit of regular use, it rarely complains anymore. Good Luck!

In particular, her solo on Harpo from Reptet's "Do This!" always gets me. :rsmile: As mentioned earlier, Mary Halvorson (Dragon's Head is fantastic), and Ingrid Jensen.

Welcome to the board, pradeshta! You mentioned that you have the Louis Armstrong JSP box set... also highly recommended is the Jelly Roll Morton 1926-1930 set on the same label.

"Sweet Rain" here. Beautiful record.

Big :tup to Mr. Lawrence... I've heard him play with both the Truth In Jazz Orchestra, as well as the Grand Rapids Jazz Orchestra. His big band performances were always exciting and noteworthy... and I always regret that I didn't catch him in performance with a smaller group. Every time I've heard him play, I was always interested in hearing more. From the not-to-common-knowledge-department: A few years back, Chris was instrumental in organizing a local open mike/jam session here, in this (relatively) small town area of roughly <150,000 people (in the whole county). There's a very small, but loyal, following of "jazz" fans around here, and it takes a certain amount of... well, you know, to even attempt to get something like that together. Wishing him continued good luck at both Blue Lake, and in Oregon!

lots 'o thunder and lightning up in these parts right now... might have something to do with it.

I'm in, tuning in right now! (TIJO kicked ass tonight, looking forward to hearing organissimo do the same!)

I think I understand what Marcello is saying, but I don't think I'd call it "too white". I'd be more inclined to say "File Under: New Age". And that is not meant to be a put down -- it is what it is, and I simply don't care for it. I'm also interested to hear TM's thoughts.

Yeah, there's another Steve Davis who plays drums. Yes, I'm familiar with his work. What Marcello said.

Steve Davis on drums?

I came across his blog via Iverson's Do The Math, and have been listening to a lot of the Secret Society live tracks -- great stuff. Looking forward to hearing Infernal Machines.

Kill 'em all!!

Wrong.
