mr jazz

something came up and couldn't make it. I may try to go this Wednesday.

know it's last minute but I'm thinking about checking this out. Keys is an excellent saxophonist. see the website for more info http://www.takomastation.com/directions.html

Thanks. I thought that might be the case but wanted to make sure.

I just got a nused PC with a DVD burner and wondered what brand of DVDs folks use for burning music dvds? I buy Taiyo Yuden unbranded cdrs and have been quite happy with the performance/price but burning DVDs is a new world.

are TY DVD blanks also reliable?

I've seen this band a few times over the last couple of years and they really put on a show. I'm pushing 50 and thought I'd never see another non jazz act I could enjoy but these guys changed my mind. Their new cd is called Conch and worth a listen though it is relatively subdued compared to their live performances.

any DC-Baltimore gigs on the horizon??? Love to see the boys back at Twins

listening to 6-14-76. Sweet.

I have one Ellington on Dreyfus, Ko Ko. The noise reduction killed the music, it's dead as a dodo... I dunno, sounds pretty good to me

So, how close to lossless are these downloads?

I would say Larry Coryell was Remler's major influence and also one for PM

I saw him playing with the Smithsonian jazz orchestra a few years ago at the Lincoln Theater in DC. Show was a tribute to Neal Hefti and he played really well.

"Teranga" is the Wolof word for welcome. It doesn't list personnel on CD Universe. Does the album include Senegalese musicians? MG Yes. here's an info link http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&a...10:wzfuxqrdld6e

that's good news. I'm really enjpying this set but still haven't watched them all.

He's in fine form playing flute on the recent (and excellent) Jon Faddis release-Teranga

audio interview with WS from 1979 http://www.jazzcorner.com/innerviews/

as always a stellar lineup. Rod Stewart was a surprise though

I had a great night taking the ferry from the Embarcadaro to Yoshis and seeing the Dave Holland big band. I really liked being able to pick my seat before the perfromance and then grabbing a bite in the japanese restaurant in the same building. A very pleasant evening indeed and one this eastcoaster hopes to repeat soon.

Thanks-very interesting ane enlightening. That was a good period for Stan and it shows in the interview. "Voyage" was the record he refers to in the interview and it's wonderful, relaxed yet stimulating.

One thing I noticed was the similar styles between Buddy Rich and Sonny Payne. The liner notes for the Rich disc comment on how big a fan of the Basie band Rich was and it's very interesting to watch the two discs back to back. Glad I have all 9.

guess they weren't jazz fans-my gain. Thanks for the links.

based on streaming disc 2, I agree. 76 overall is a mixed bag for me.

anyone else got this? I watched the Buddy Rich and part of the Quincy Jones and Basie discs and I'm glad I got the whole tamale. 9 DVDs in all but each one available separately. Thanks to craiglist I got it cheap.

the Stepping Stones rerelease was a highlight for me last year. I'm glad I got to see him, if only once. I remember I saw the first show and went back to the dorm and dragged a few folks over for the second.
