Tom 1960

Any thoughts on his latest? Wasn't even aware he released a new album until I came across a pretty favorable review in the recent issue of Downbeat.

While I use All Music Guide and Amazon as resources on potential purchases, it's you folks here on the board who convince me to take the plunge.

I was listening to Phil Schaap's program this morning Bird Flight which featured some tracks from this album. The audio sounded great considering the time it was recorded, 1949. I'm mainly interested in hearing Parker although there are a few tracks featuring Ella Fitzgerald which also sounded quite good. I was wondering peoples comments on this release as well as some of the other JATP releases? What I particularly enjoyed about the collection which features Parker, is the raucous crowd on hand that night at Carnegie Hall. It sounds like they were having a great time! Again, your comments are welcomed and appreciated.

I just don't get all this media attention he's getting. People literally falling over themselves to get an interview with him. Shameful. How are these people going to feel if he kills himself? The man is obviously sick and needs serious help. The media is NOT helping him! Just my 2 cents, YMMV.

"Love For Sale" by Eric Kloss from the album "About Time" smokes!!!

I recently got ahold of this recording and agreed it's a real good one. I'm glad to see many people here share the love.

From the album Oceans in The Sky by Steve Kuhn, his take on Kenny Dorham's Lotus Blossom.

Damn, I'm heading out shortly to see a movie. At least I caught some of this. Thanks for mentioning it.

Interesting to come across this thread since a friend and I were just commenting the other day about the Ten Years After song "I'd Love To Change The World". Words from the opening verse: Everywhere is freaks and hairies Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity His comments were pretty much aligned with some of the posters here, found it somewhat offensive. Any issues with this? Ban worthy? I also want to add this link where Knoffler takes on the controversial word in the song "Money For Nothing". Scroll down half way: Money For Nothing

I remember during the late 70's the album City To City getting a huge amount of airplay on rock stations and I'm not just talking about Baker Street. It was a pretty damn good album and I still own it on vinyl. I will defintely be playing this at some point in the next day or so.

While I do hate the snow, I have to say I really enjoyed those photos. Very nice. Temps here on the cold side between 35 - 40 F the past few days and no sign of an immediate warmup. Looks like winter is on it's way.

Happy Birthday, John!

I just heard a track off this album a short time ago and it sounded quite nice. Zoot seems to in fine form and being a big fan, what do you guys think of this release? I already own a good number of Zoot's releases during this time period 70's/80's and think this might make a fine addition.
