ghost of miles

Same thing happened to me a few days ago... I figured my computer had reset the board for some reason and found the "Options" solution that Niko mentioned. I hate the "tree" display...much prefer the standard BB format.

This week on Night Lights it’s “Emily Remler: a Musical Remembrance.” Emily Remler was a rising-star jazz guitarist in the 1980s whose style, influenced by Wes Montgomery, fused hard swing and lyricism with Brazilian and other forms of music, making her one of the most compelling newcomers around. Remler did not let the notoriously sexist barriers of the jazz world deter her from her passion for playing music, and early on she landed a contract with Concord Records. Her ultimate obstacle, however, proved to be fatal: an addiction to heroin. Remler died in Australia on May 4, 1990 at the age of 32. In this program we’ll hear music from her albums East to West, Take Two, and This Is Me, as well as collaborations with Larry Coryell, Ray Brown, and Susannah McCorkle. We’ll also talk with drummer and Remler friend Robert Jospe, who knew and worked with Remler in the mid-1980s while she was staying in Charlottesville, Virginia. “Emily Remler: a Musical Remembrance” airs Saturday, March 31 at 11:05 p.m. EST on WFIU, at 9 p.m. Central Time on WNIN-Evansville, and at 10 p.m. EST Sunday evening on Michigan's Blue Lake Public Radio. The program will be posted Monday evening in the Night Lights archives. You can read more about Emily Remler here and watch a video of her performing "Afro Blue" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVuAz9M381Y. Next week: "Jazz, Spiritually Speaking."

Make that 399.

Only 400 more gratuitous posts to go.

the people who used it as an opportunity to up their post count should be held fully accountable. Or at least forced to testify under oath before Congress.

Pointless, gratuitous post: Greg Brady, stoner

Really?

For which Jim Sangrey cannot be held responsible, as he started it in a spirit of genuine sincerity?

Worse than the "Stupid questions" thread?

Anybody remember when the oh-so-wonderful Alan Greenspan was urging people to take out ARMS? This is from 2003: Looks like Yahoo! business columnist Suze Orman had a lot more on the ball than "the Wizard."

Then triple your posting pleasure.

And post again.

You post.

If it's a set of Blue Note recordings, there still seems to be a decent chance that most of the material will resurface on individual CDs after the Mosaic goes OOP--witness the Andrew Hill, Jackie McLean, and Art Blakey sets.

Well, starting this thread will probably provoke a wave of gratuitous posts...but it had to be noted.

The cool kids dig vinyl these days, for a variety of reasons.

A friend of mine used to DJ at WNUR before moving down here & spinning discs for community radio station WFHB. WNUR has a good rep around these parts; glad to hear they've got new studio space.

This looks pretty cool--how long are the podcasts? Are they using full versions of the music? Since it's coming from Verve, I'm sure they must have gotten the blessing of the family re: Coltrane's performances and compositions, but they'd still have to license any non-Coltrane works ("Out of This World," etc.) for podcasting. Thanks for the link, Impossible. I'll check it out.

Received it today & listened through once--first impression is that it's quite good & that the use of electronics/computer is nicely restrained, sounding organic to the music rather than a forced "effect." I'm definitely going to listen to it again. Dave Douglas fans, take note--he's here, along with Chris Potter, Scott Colley, and Brian Blade.

That's the name that came to my mind as well. Didn't Berigan start a thread a few months ago about a bop-sounding instrumentalist in the Jimmy Dorsey orchestra--or at least a player who seemed to be anticipating bop?

Sorry to hear this never came out, Allen--I would've definitely picked it up. I have the Circle transcriptions, the Decca CONTRASTS compilation, and some airshots from roughly that period. I liked Joe Lippman's work in that band. Too bad Chronological Classics hasn't gotten around to reissuing this music (or have they?).

Interesting to me because Osby emphasized the on-the-job musical training that he got, as well as the importance of connecting with the audience (although, when he came back to B-town a year or two later with his quartet, he seemed to be in more of a Miles bag vis-a-vis said audience, and it didn't really go over too well... but everybody dug Jason Moran!). I really got the sense that playing with the 1970s soul revues was, for Osby, perhaps roughly equivalent to the kind of experience that Coltrane, Bird, Dexter et al got playing in the big bands in the 1940s.

Hey, that's the guy I interviewed for this show. He teaches here at IU; quite a jazz fan.

I liked it a lot until the ending, which seemed to tip into the realm of the ridiculous. Either Roth should've gone with a different outcome, or invented something more logical to bring his plotline into sync with the eventual results of the war.

I mean, that's the kind of finish you dream up as a kid when you're out shooting baskets by yourself around twilight.
