I saw this group in Ann Arbor in April 2002, and Wayne talked briefly near the end of the show, to introduce Smiling Through. He seemed extremely shy, talking very low and looking down at the floor most of the time. I hope they release more from this group

I would be much happier and would visit the site a lot more frequently if we got rid of the politcal forums. I just get disenchanted when I occasionally enter the political forum and see the endless articles posted by Johnny E. And then the bickering starts. Enough already

My BMG and Columbia House orders both came today (funny because they weren't ordered at the same time!). Between them I got the Dylan SACD remasters, the Dylan Rolling Thunder bootleg series, and McCoy Tyner plays Coltrane at the Village Vanguard from a few years ago (I forget the proper name of it). I have Highway 61 playing now, and the sound is great on SACD. Pretty fun watching my 1 yr old daughter dance to it too!!!

Can we expect James Baker soon? he'll be right behind Jesse Jackson I'm sure

nobody here has heard this?? I thought there were at least a few ABB fans here, at least more than Janet Jackson fans ....

sorry, not a fan of Latin jazz at all

yeah, sign me up for this on the day its released. I would prefer another fancy box set like the others in the studio recordings series, but anything will do, as long as it comes out. I'd also jump at the chance to hear some live recordings from the 60s quintet

I was wondering if anyone has heard this and what their thoughts are. It's from their Beacon run last March. Their latest studio record is very good, so I'm thinking that maybe this one might be worth getting, as it is a mix from that studio record and some of their classic tunes

Bitchen'!!!!

I plan to ride my mountain bike to work and back every day, about 6.5 miles one way. Last summer was the first time in about 14 years that I had even been on a bike so I took it easy and only biked one way each day and had my wife drive me the rest of the time. Great way to get some good listening in on my mp3 player too

what's a wanker?

maybe if she had the original Elvis (aka the KING) to play on it I'd check it out, but otherwise, umm, no

whoever mentioned Sharp Provolone above (I'm tool azy to go back and check), THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I found some and tried it on a grinder my wife made for me. Wow, this is the best tasting cheese I have ever encountered!!

I don't have the stamina to type all the worthless artists that bother me, but I have to agree with the comments about Dave Mathews, Ozzy/Sabbath, and I'd like to toss in (these are off the top of my head because I've heard this garbage in the last couple days): the Doors, Billy Joel, Bon Jovi, and pretty much anything in rock and roll nowadays. Well, at the very least I have to acknowledge a lot of the recent popular crap for shoving me (very willingly!!) towards jazz!!!

well, this is all I need to know about that magazine. I'm never buying it

I try to watch this show every night; I think it's the funniest thing on TV, and, despite it's blatant liberal bias, I actually think the news coverage is valuable. They do try to book a decent balance of liberal/conservative guests too, when they aren't booking celebrities to just come on and discuss their latest movie.

how do you plan on talking with him? Do you have something scheduled with him somehow? I'm confused. Ask him if he has any live CDs of these shows he's currently playing coming out soon

Oh yes, I forgot about Lloyd. I wish I had seen him

I'm quite pleased with the live music in Ann Arbor. Last Friday I saw Ornette Coleman, in February I saw Organissimo, and in the past 3 years I have seen Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock (both leading their own quartets and in a duet, 3 different shows) and Keith Jarrett. Plus, as mentioned above, the Bird of Paradise and Firefly Club have live jazz pretty much all week

Atlantic, Village Vanguard, Impulse Quartet, Live in Europe (Pablo), and the Miles. I'd say I listen to the Village Vanguard and the Live in Europe ones the most. Thought about getting the compilation box titled Legacy if I see it for a good price

well, I have the SACD too, but I'm not going to force it down anyone's throat, so it's gotta be the other guy!!

this discussion makes me want to go pick up a couple CDs.

man, you can't go wrong with any of those selections; I picked Exile because it's a double album so there's more music, but really I find all of them to be representative of the Stones at their best (even Goat's Head Soup!!). Anyone have any comments on the recent SACDs of their 60s reissues?

never is it possible to have too many CDs. It took some convincing for my wife to accept that I need SACDs of CDs I already had 2 copies of (Japanese and US in some cases)

that was my first thought too, when he picked it up-"that's the plastic one!!!!"
