I always thought You've Got to Hide Your Love Away was on this album. Huh

I still check in a couple of times per week.

I have always liked that album, from the first time I heard it. Really glad they put out those records on Pi

Oh that's terrible news. I play Solstice frequently, it's such a perfect record for late autumn, leading into winter when the weather starts to cool off.

I think I joined in early September 2003, after lurking here for months. I was active on the All About Jazz forums at the time, and when suddenly a lot of new members showed up who seemed knowledgeable about jazz were also discussing this new board, I eventually joined here since there the discussions here were so much more lively and informative than at AAJ. I did manage to meet Jim and the band, Chuck and the guy who used to be named connoisseurseries500 (Paul, maybe?) at one of their shows in Ann Arbor, which was a lot of fun! I have very little time for any forum anymore, and I can't find much time at all to listen to music as much as I used to. I do try to check in here at least once or twice a week though

well, it was recorded in the days just before Christmas, so it makes sense that way too

i was so close! 3 points off

Saskatchewan, total of 45 points

oh no, this is terrible news! I only got to see him once, with the Keith Jarrett and Gary Peacock trio. I remember how loud and powerful he sounded at times, but never overwhelming the piano.

I would mostly agree with him about this, but also nominate the ProjeKcts-2000 edition of Crimson. Different kind of music, but the improvisation was as good as anything I ever heard by any other edition of King Crimson.

this is great news! I'd prefer a CD box set but I'll buy it regardless

oh that is sad news

And the book of transcribed Joe Henderson solos arrived today! Awesome gifts, thanks again GA!

I received part of the prize today, a Michael Weiss CD, and a 4-disc set of Roland Kirk. I don't really know either artist's music at all so this seems like a great introduction! Thanks again for the contest and prize!

Cool! I really wanted to pick Winnipeg since most Toronto teams make my stomach turn, but nice to see they came through for me this one time! Yep, my first win, I think I've participated in this every year you've offered it, so this is nice. See you next year!
