Wow! Birthday greetings from Liz Hurley! Shagadelic! Happy Birthday, Lon! -- Mark

This looks like it might be worth a try: Mp3Splt Project Homepage Looks like it's primarily a command line program for Linux or Windows, but there is a GUI app there as well. It can't get much simpler that this: mp3splt album.mp3 54.32.19 67.32 -o out.mp3 B-)

AEC 1967/68

Here's the songs on the Hal Leonard one: The Cape Verdean Blues * Come on Home * Filthy McNasty * Funky Bunky * Home Cookin' * Nica's Dream * Nutville * Peace * Que Pasa * Senor Blues * Sister Sadie * Song for My Father * Soul Mates * Strollin' * The Tokyo Blues Horace Silver Collection

I hope all these places have power!!! If not, you can probably just run a real long extension cord from Chuck's house.

Morgan/Shorter. (Wayne Shorter - Second Genesis) Not sure which disk(s) this is on, as I made MP3 playlists corresponding to the original album sequences. All the alternate takes are cool, but I prefer to listen to it in album order or random.

That was a fun evening! Great meeting you, Big Al. (...and don't worry, I won't tell anybody that you are a HUGE Styx fan! Your secret is safe with me!!)

That would be best.

Oh, that's an easy one! Simply follow these easy instructions: 1) Place all original Mosaic CDs in their original Mosaic cases. 2) Place all original Mosaic cases in their original black Mosaic boxes. 3) Place all original Mosaic booklets in their original black Mosaic boxes. 4) PM me for the appropriate shipping address. 5) Ship Mosaic boxes. 6) Sleep better at night knowing they will be given a good home.

I've been using it for quite a long time now. It was originally called Phoenix, then Thunderbird, now Firefox. Whatever they call it, it works great for me. The popup blocker is fantastic! I don't know how anybody can use IE with all the annoying popups, plus all of the security issues. Also, "tabbed browsing" is pretty addictive, I find it hard to use a browser that doesn't have that feature.

Bill and I are planning on being there -- we usually practice on Wednesday nights, but we don't want to miss this one. Chuck, let us know if you like to ride along. Jamn (Jack) lives right down the street from me, but I haven't seen him lately. Did anybody PM or email him? Also, my guitar teacher (and all-around great guy and great musician) Phil Marsh may be there as well. I mentioned it to him yesterday. If I remember correctly, Randy helped me get in touch with Phil initially to set up lessons. Thanks again, Randy! Looking forward to meeting you, Big Al! -- Mark

I also thought it sucked, big time. Disturbing and gratuitous are good descriptions. When it ended, I told my wife (who also thought it was a bad episode) that I will not be watching that show again. (but I reserve the right to change my mind)

Last week: Andrew Hill - Grass Roots Andrew Hill - Black Fire (it appears I got this one before the "official" release date! ) Wayne Shorter - The All Seeing Eye Freddie Hubbard - Ready for Freddie Lester Young with the Oscar Peterson Trio Oliver Nelson - The Blues and the Abstract Truth Jim Rotondi - The Pleasure Dome

Me, too! Donation just sent via paypal. It really is great having such a wonderful, welcoming online jazz community. I'll buy the next CD only if you guys do at least one Loverboy cover.

I'd bet that is another way of notating a "minor major" chord, for instance, Dmin(maj7). It would be the root, flat 3rd, 5th, and natural 7th, (D,F,A,C#). Another way to think of it would be a Dm (D,F,A,C) with a sharp 7 = (D,F,A,C#). If I understand it correctly, this chord also implies the use of the melodic minor scale (major scale, but with a flat 3rd).

Michael, while I agree with everything you said, I have a few comments: 1) $185 for an instructional DVD, regardless of the author, is simply well above the threshold of "what I would expect to pay". I realize that my expectations may have no basis in reality, but that price just seems excessive to me. I'd have no problem paying, say, under $100 for the 3 DVD set. 2) While Mclaughlin's talent as a guitarist is undeniable, his ability as a teacher is an unknown (to me, anyway). While the content of the DVD looks great, I have no idea whether or not the guy can teach. If this DVD had stellar reviews from other board members, I might reconsider the $185 price tag. 3) The comparative price of graduate college credit and textbooks is irrelevant. I have paid substantial amounts for graduate classes that had minimal value. Honestly, if I knew without a doubt that I would use this DVD "over and over for years and years", $185 wouldn't be that big of a deal. -- Mark

Man, y'all not cool enough to hang with #1891.

John McLaughlin - This is the Way I do it (3 DVD Set)+Free Official John McLaughlin Shirt Release Date : July 15, 2004 $185??? Ouch!

This has got to be the most simultaneously depressing and uplifting thread ever! At 38, I could stand to lose a few pounds, exercise more, and drink less. However, the peak being long gone is something I'm reluctant to believe.

No problem -- I'll be the first to admit I don't have a clue when it comes to things like that. I'm just hoping that someone can work in an aesthetically pleasing picture of Geddy Lee somewhere on that shirt.

I agree with Jim R -- that one is still my favorite. With all due respect couw, I think you are over-analyzing it. I would have never noticed those things unless you had specifically mentioned them. I think it is a very nice design. I also really like the simple, to-the-point, "JAZZ FORUM" text in the center of the circle. When I look at that design, the two most important things stand out immediately: organissimo.org jazz forum Upright Bill and I are hoping that those are the things people see (and hopefully remember) while we are at the Jazz workshop.
