I had no idea. http://atlanta.cbslocal.com/2014/10/06/cdc-110-million-americans-have-stds-at-any-given-time/

Jim, I think he was always the boss. Do you remember on Where the Action Is when the three members of the rhythm section were replaced one by one, so that only Revere and Lindsay were left? (I remember that one of the replacements was Freddie Weller, who went on to enjoy some success in country music.) I once read that Revere had a strict "no drugs" policy. The three rhythm section guys wanted to smoke grass, so they quit the band.

Bev, no. As the obit linked above says, his real name was Paul Revere Dick. Wikipedia says that the band took the name in 1960, and their first regional hit was Like Long Hair in 1961. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Revere_%26_the_Raiders The British Invasion (music on the radio) started in January of '64.

Bill, I think that Just Like Me was my third single! I felt it had the same vibe as The Kingsmen's Louie, Louie.

Paul Revere has died of cancer at 76. RIP. I never got to see him, but 20 years ago I saw Mark Lindsay in concert in Atlanta, and he was great! And of course, I got a big chuckle out of Joe Flaherty's take on "the piano stylings of Paul Revere" on SCTV. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/music/paul-revere-raiders-rock-band-dies-76-article-1.1964054

Happy Birthday 2014 MG!

Thanks, duaneiac! That was fun. I got 402 in music, and got the other three double-or-nothing questions wrong!

Thanks Flurin! I think I might pick both up.

Any idea when the Basie and the Joe Henderson were recorded?

Thanks BF!

1) So what is the price now, and what is the limit on the number of albums you may download? 2) Is Concord/Fantasy family considered a major and now gone, or are they still there?

With Winnipeg's loss, Calgary has become the first team to clinch a playoff berth. Stamps 31....Riders 24 http://cfl.ca/article/comeback-denied-tate-scores-late-td-for-the-win Great game. You will recall that the Riders were shut out last week. Tonight at the half the Stampeders led 9-0. The Stamps stretched their lead to 24-0 with four minutes left in the third. The Riders put Pitt's Tino Sunseri into the game, and he led the team back to tie the score at 24! Drew Tate led the Stamps on a long final drive, and scored the short touchdown himself with 32 seconds left to win the game.

Looks interesting. Does anyone have any of his previous recordings? I see four of his albums on Spotify... More than Love Purple Refrain Nordic Noon The Eternal Triangle "The Disciple," 10th CD by Pianist Peter Zak For the SteepleChase Label, To Be Released Oct. 21 Trio Recording Features Bassist Peter Washington & Drummer Willie Jones III CD Release Show at Smoke, New York City, With Trio Plus Special Guest Peter Bernstein, Wednesday, Oct. 22 October 2, 2014 For his tenth CD in as many years, all for the Danish SteepleChase label, pianist Peter Zak continues his brilliant series of jazz trio explorations, this time in the company of bassist Peter Washington and drummer Willie Jones III. The new disc, The Disciple, will be released October 21. "The fact that the piano is the lead instrument in terms of playing the melody appeals to me," Zak says of the trio format. "There's that, and the hookup between the ride cymbal and the bass doesn't get any better than that. The reason I play jazz is basically for that feel." Washington, who's on board for his fourth consecutive Zak session, "is one of the best musicians I've ever played with," says the pianist. "He really knows how to break up the time and to really find the groove when it needs to be found. He hears everything that's happening immediately." Zak's association with Jones dates to 1998 when both were sidemen on trumpeter Ryan Kisor's The Usual Suspects CD. "He's got a lot of energy but he's not bombastic," Zak says of the much-in-demand drummer. "I just like his sensibility about swinging." Zak is a stylistic disciple of some of the greatest jazz pianists of the bop and post-bop eras. He salutes six of them on The Disciple with personalized interpretations of compositions by Chick Corea ("The Loop"), Elmo Hope ("Barfly"), Horace Silver ("Nutville"), Herbie Hancock ("Requiem"), Hampton Hawes ("Jackie"), and Thelonious Monk ("Criss Cross"), along with three originals and one by the Russian classical composer and pianist Alexander Scriabin. He hadn't initially planned a CD of tunes made up entirely of tunes by piano players. It just turned out that way, as did the fact the set opens and closes with waltzes: Corea's "The Loop" and his own "The Disciple." His decisions must have been subconscious, as he has long shown himself to be master of programming music who often selects great yet little-known songs for his recordings and live performances. "I want to do things that are off the beaten track, something that hasn't been done a lot," he explains. Peter Zak, 49, was born in Los Angeles and grew up in Columbus and Kent, Ohio, then moved with his family at age 16 to Oakland. At the University of California, Berkeley, where he majored in history, he studied with Susan Muscarella (founder/director of Berkeley's Jazzschool, now the California Jazz Conservatory). Zak played on an extracurricular basis in combo and big band settings, with the UC Jazz Ensembles. He also freelanced in bands with noted bassist Herbie Lewis, who had recorded with one of Zak's major influences, McCoy Tyner, as well as Jackie McLean and local hero Bobby Hutcherson. Following his graduation from UC Berkeley, Zak played clubs, concerts, and festivals with such notables as saxophonists Frank Morgan and John Handy. Since moving to New York in 1989, Zak has enjoyed ongoing recording and performing associations with saxophonists Walt Weiskopf, Jim Snidero, and Stephen Riley; trumpeter Ryan Kisor; and guitarist Tom Guarna. Zak has accompanied such name artists as George Coleman, Billy Hart, Jon Hendricks, Etta Jones, Jimmy Cobb, Scott Hamilton, and Junior Cook. He's been on the faculty in the Jazz and Contemporary Music College of the New School since 1995 and currently teaches an ensemble class there. Zak has recorded steadily as a leader since making his debut, in 2005, with The Peter Zak Trio, a trio date with Paul Gill and Al Foster. That same year, he was the recipient of a $10,000 commission from the Doris Duke Foundation to compose and perform a new work for his trio. In his notes to The Disciple, Zak describes the composition process as something "by turns challenging, intriguing, frustrating, and finally rewarding" and discusses the value of standard jazz repertoire "as springboards to improvisation and collective interaction. . . . You still need that foundational element that's built on a basis of collective knowledge among the performers, and oftentimes the audience. Only then do we stand a chance for that deep groove, and for imagination to truly take flight." Peter Zak and his trio (Paul Gill, bass, and Joe Farnsworth, drums) plus guest soloist Peter Bernstein will be performing a CD release show for The Disciple at Smoke, 2751 Broadway, New York City, on Wednesday 10/22. Sets are at 7:00, 9:00, and 10:30 pm. Photography: Javier Oddo Web Site: peterzakmusic.com Follow:

A few things here that I didn't know, so maybe you too. I read last night that Dawn Wells was the only cast member to get paid for the syndication. The other day was the fiftieth anniversary of the show's premier, so I guess that's why the internet is full of all things Gilligan. http://magazine.foxnews.com/celebrity/10-things-you-didnt-know-about-gilligans-island?intcmp=HPBucket

I've been listening to this one quite a bit for the past week and a half, and I really like it. My initial impression has grown stronger - the folks who would enjoy this album the most probably won't take the time to hear it because they are not Oscar Peterson fans!
