ghost of miles

Along with Will Friedwald's STARDUST MELODIES, in an F. Scott rereading mode--picked up GATSBY again last weekend. I pretty much reread that one every couple of years. Going out tomorrow on the prowl for a copy of his Pat Hobby stories, which I read as a teenager... very short, satirical short stories about a failed screenwriter in Hollywood that Fitzgerald wrote near the end of his career.

All hail the mighty bean! They'll have to pry my coffee mug from my hot, trembling fingers, etc. To quote the owner of L.A.'s 5th St. Dick's (coffeehouse in the Leimert Park area): There are three things in the whole world I love to do most... sit on my ass... drink coffee... and listen to jazz.

Been revisiting the Andrew Hill--the first Mosaic I ever got. Amazing to me how fresh & wonderful this music still sounds.

"Emily Remler: a Musical Remembrance" is now archived.

Could be wrong, but I predict it will ultimately backfire on them--esp. given what Jim says in the post directly above. I'll also be curious to see how WBEZ's dual news/info/talk signal works out in the long run.

Best wishes to you, LV. Long may you broadcast!

Hey, those all look good to me!

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.
