PHILLYQ

Up with some additions.

I'm in and looking forward to it!! I love the cover.

The crossed eyes are a great touch!

As of today everything has been mailed. Please let me know if you don't receive anything.

I work in the brokerage arm of a large bank, and they are cutting like crazy. We've had a few thousand jobs outsourced to India and more on the way. Next up is moving operations(where I work) to Jacksonville Fla. They don't want people to go unless they're willing to take a 30-40% pay cut, and their plan is to have 85% local hires(read cheapo labor). I was told that my job is safe until the end of this year, but no guarantees after that. I figure January 2,2009 I'm history, and I can join all the Bear Stearns folks who were laid off and compete for the ever rapidly diminishing jobs in the NYC area in the midst of a recession. Noj, I hope you find something good. Best of luck.

The big auto makers had over 30 years(1974-5 oil embargo) to figure how to make smaller cars profitably and they wound up with SUVs- the American auto industry might be the most mismanaged industry ever.

Dominic Frontiere sure married well!

Hello Laz, It went to the Post Office today. They're two 2 disc sets, so you're getting 4 discs of Vandermark.

I saw them play many moons ago and thought exactly the same thing about them. If you want wit, cleverness & substance try the new one by Reptet, 'Chicken or Beef'- our own Johnny E is on it.

Meade Lux Lewis plays it solo on two tunes on 'The Blues Piano Artistry of Meade Lux Lewis', produced by and with liner notes by our own Chris Albertson. very cool tunes IMHO and I like the sound of it. I think it's more what you do with it than what it is.

Blue Mitchell marked down to $100

I think I went fairly close IIRC to what David Gitin sold it for here- that's where I got the price from.

I'll add my hearty recommendation- it's one helluva disc and a lot of fun, too!

My condolences JIm- your dad sounds like a great guy.

Larry, My condolences on your loss. You may be suffering from depression as has been pointed out before. I am a frequent flier in depression, and I know when it's getting bad because I have no interest in music when it's bad. Normally I'm quite passionate about music and I'll talk about it, listen to it, read about it etc. Live music is OK, but playing anything when I'm getting deep into depression just bores me immediately and I start with the same thing as you described, 'what's the use- I know how this will sound- I'm not interested', etc. i hope things look up for you.

Ialways thought there was something cool about her besides her looks!

On Thursday night(5/15) I had an open night when I could go see some live music but I couldn't decide who to see- Henry Threadgill was at Jazz Gallery(Saw him there once before and it was excellent) and Todd Sickafoose(whom I'd never heard) was at 55Bar. I was still undecided as I headed to the subway, so I decided to let the NYC subway decide for me! The station I went to has the 'B' train, which would leave me off near 55Bar, and also the 'Q' train which would leave me off near Jazz Gallery . I decided to take whatever train came first and go to that show. The 'B' train came first, so I went to see Todd Sickafoose at 55Bar. Todd Sickafoose(TS)plays upright bass, and he had a group with Jenny Scheinman on violin. Here's the list of who played in his group: http://www.55bar.com/ There was also a percussionist not listed on the 55Bar website. His music featured a lot of interesting harmony, opening with a slow trombone/violin duet that gradually morphed into some very intense group interplay. TS was also a rarity- it was his group, but he didn't take a bass solo on every tune and really allowed the compositions and the players to shine.Although Jenny Scheinman was the main soloist, everybody in the group got at least one turn to shine and everyone played very well despite playing mostly off charts. At times the music was quite lush and expansive and at other times they were going straight to gutbucket/funky. Jenny Scheinman was featured quite a bit(Ithink she soloed on every piece) and she played great. Her solos were full of passion and she also has quite a bit of technical ability to realize her passion. I've now seen her play in two very different settings, once with Bill Frisell's 858 Quartet and with this group and she was outstanding in both. Many thanks to Todd Sickafoose and Co for a great set of music and for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for 'picking' a great show.

Were they Deadheads?
