it's not like it's actually going to happen anyway. He announces some variation of this every few years, and then nothing. Nothing to do with ego.

Ann Arbor

I think it's his best since the mid-90s. I'd rank it up there just below his classics, actually. It's a great album. No Hidden Path, the other long song on it, is one of his trademark minor-key guitar epics, something like Change Your Mind

By now there's gotta be more threads complaining about Jarrett's noises than there are actual noises in one of his performances

Still good selections at the Ann Arbor Borders. I couldn't decide between four ECMs this afternoon; I ended up with Jacob Young, Sideways

Have you heard the CD? It's definitely jazz

Oh, this has been discussed before. Seems no one can talk about Jarrett's music without complaining about the vocals.

I'd like to know what Chris thought of some of their later albums

How on earth did McDonald end up in Foreigner?? $$$$$

any particular reason you are referred to as Charles "Chuck" Nessa throughout the book instead of the usual, Chuck?

I'll have to remember to check this out. I know very little of her music outside of the Giuffre records from the 60s and her ECM rarum. Nice picture of her, too!

I started to do this same thing last December, after I bought the Richard Cook book about Miles and got the Prestige box for Christmas. I remember simply enjoying it a lot and gaining even more of an appreciation for all of Miles' music. However, I stopped somewhere around the early 70s; still can't listen to the funk between Cellar Door (which I like a lot) and Pangaea all in a row like that.

Jim, I'm sorry for your loss. 67 is so young. Thankfully you had a good day with him last week.

Just picked it up from a local indie store. It will take me a long time to read this one. Looks like I have just barely scratched the surface of this music.

I'll be using this one to get the new Evan Parker/Roscoe Mitchell on ECM.

why does he think people need to see and interact with music that wasnt good enough to release at the time? Most people just want to listen to it, on a machine that isn't attached to a tv. Mind-boggling.

Sorry, make that $39.99

Secret Sessions and the Complete Dolphy are now at $49.99

funny. So, any recommendations?

which one of those Evans boxes do I want? I have very little besides the 60s Village Vanguard material, so I know nothing about his later years.

Still is. I got it from BMG about 2 weeks ago. What about the Life of a Trio discs? How different did the Giuffre trio sound in the early 90s compared to the 60s?

Terrible news. I just recently began listening to a lot of his music; in the last 2 weeks I have gotten Free Fall, Easy Way and Momentum (with Jaume on Hat) and have been meaning to get 1961 ASAP. He will be missed.

So, what was he doing, down the street?

congratulations!
