PHILLYQ

WOW! Great album cover!

This Stern guy has been the last person to see both her and her son alive, and he stands to inherit whatever she has. Depending on litigation that could be a big bundle.

IIRC, his actual name is Jean-Baptiste Jacquet.

There's also another one they did called "The Hated Music"

Watch out for that gay Indian music- how does Ravi Shankar get on the list? Too many gay notes? What about Norah Jones?!!!

If you like Hank Jones, try some of his work with the Great Jazz Trio(Ron Carter, Tony Williams mostly).

I'm not a big Neil Young fan, but I bought this disc after hearing many good things about it. It is excellent, strong playing and a tight band. One of the guys in the band died a few months after the gig and this disc show how much he contributed to the band. Highly recommended

From the article Marcello posted: It's not a matter of style here either. There's room for all styles; he's a U2 fan. Unfortunately - and here he becomes grim and caustic - there are "musical fascists who deal in fear, who tell people that this or that music is dangerous." He could name names but he won't: "There's a clique in New York who are trying to rewrite history because, although they are famous, it's a marketing gambit and they don't really play all that well. They just know how to look and talk a certain way. They go around rewriting history by preaching and telling people what to listen to and not listen to. They have no talent of their own so the easiest way for them to attract attention is to say outrageous things. 'Did you hear what he said?'" Wonder who Tony Williams is mentioning here?

I have two cats and one of them actually figured how to flush the toilet. I'll be sitting in the basement by myself and hear the toilet flush, and then the cat comes out of the bathroom! My wife finally had to cover the handle to prevent further flushing.

Happy Birthday Patricia, anyplace improves when you arrive. All the best!

Happy Birthday to a cool fraction/time signature! Play something very weird, very funky, or both!

Happy Birthday AB, you're a cool cat!

hello Danielle, Welcome to the weird world here. Do you like My Chemical Romance, Plus44, Hawthorne Heights? My son is 14 and he likes those groups.

Lester Bowie and Brass Fantasy did a cool cover of 'I Got You"- the disc is on DIW.

Then I'm gonna get me some. -_- And a bottle of Kansas City wine?

I've listened to three discs of this set, and picking 10 cuts is close to impossible! It's a great set.

Good score! Enjoy the goodies

On one of their discs they do a smokin' version of 'Freedom Jazz Dance' where Tony Williams leads the way(mostly).

I ride the NYC subway to work and home, and I know that the space the two guys were in is miniscule. A little movement one way or another and someone loses a limb or their life. Hats off(Mr. Autrey had some grease on his hat from the train passing over)to a genuine hero in an age where the word is horribly overused.

Danielle, Welcome to the wacky world of Organissimo- stick around, it gets even better!Alexander, is my grammar and syntax copacetic?

Check out the thread Bebop started- maybe he can help you find it.

Zito also went, as many Boras clients do, for the most money. He's going to a team that is weak and old, and I doubt he can turn them around himself. He would have been better off going to the Mets, better team, pitcher's park, pitching coach he liked. But $$$ rules. The Yankees getting rid of Randy Johnson is a great move IMHO, especially if they get some decent propects in return. He hasn't pitched so great for the Yanks, and it certainly seems that he hates NYC.

Happy Birthday Alexander & Ron S

Who you gonna call?

As Jim so eloquently points out, JB represented a lot more than just music to a lot of people. He was(and is) a source of pride, an example to many about hard work(and he came by his title as 'hardest workin' man in show business' by EARNING it), and a guy who was hugely successful doing things his way. You have to keep in mind that JB was succesful in an era where Jim Crow was very much alive, where civil rights legislation was either embryonic or recently passed(and regularly ignored in many parts of the country). For all of that, JB's impact went way beyond music in ways that many non-black people could probably never fully understand. I'm white and I get only a bit of what he meant to black people. Imagine being at the bottom of the social ladder and here comes a guy who's big, worldwide and doesn't shuffle, doesn't kowtow to the powers that be- what a guy that is! "We'd rather die on our feet than keep living on our knees" JB
