ghost of miles

I'm really looking forward to this as well--I think I mentioned something about it in the Twardzik bio thread a ways back. Congratulations, Larry.

They did... and Gordon wasn't much help tonight. Man, that turned into a real nailbiter. Yanks should have blown them out & ended up needing to go to the ace. Good to beat Schilling, though...

Make that 5 runs. Like I said, 6 ain't enough... looks like NY may need Gordon & Rivera after all.

I had two brothers... I know all about that "love" business! B-) FWIW I would love to see the Cardinals gain the series. And Boston just scored 3 runs...

....damn, no hits through 6 ! You said that deliberately, didn't you?

It's a long game and a long series. Just out of curiosity, did Rivera make it back? (I'm at work and following it only on the Internet.) Looks like they might not need him tonight--I hope Mussina can go 7 or even 8 and let the bullpen have a night off, but 6 runs ain't enough for me against the Bosox lineup.

FROM A BASEMENT ON A HILL came out last night on I-Tunes. A friend of mine purchased it and is lending me his copy today, and it's off to an amazing start--very spooky intro into "Coast to Coast." A year ago next week.

Hey, you're no old guy--I remember that too! I mean, uh...

Mike, Didn't Perry & Henry meet up again last year? Have they played/recorded together since? My memory of the 100-hour broadcast has gotten a bit fuzzy.

It's Houston-St. Louis in the NLCS... barring a nine or ten-run comeback by the Braves in the bottom of the 9th.

Yeah, yeah, him too... you just made me want to dig out my copy of MONITOR.

My vote, too, Brownie, since we are voting for "living" rather than "active."

It's gonna be a great series... closest thing our generation has to the Dodger-Giant battles of the 1940s and 50s, or the... Yankees-Red Sox battles of the late 1940s! Time to dig out Halberstam again... and if the Yanks prevail, will his OCTOBER 1964 book be relevant again as well?

Well it's about frickin time! I hear ya, bruther! Second that emotion!

The appropriate authorities have been contacted. We apologize for this brief delay in transmission! In the meantime, I love to whistle.

Thanks for your comments as well, Jim--it's very heartening to hear from fellow jazz lovers & listeners all over. The McCoy Tyner show is now archived.

I would've ranked Garrett as well, but his past two or three CDs have disappointed me. In the mid-90s he was very much a favorite of mine.

Well, another factor potentially favoring the Sox: two of Rivera's wife's relatives were electrocuted while cleaning his pool. No word yet on whether he's going to return to Panama, but there's a chance that he might not be available for the first game or two.

Osby's definitely a fave--others include Steve Coleman (who's 47, 48, somewhere around there) and Dave Rempis of the Vandermark 5 (and lately of Triage).

Hey, Harold, I got it: "Moose and Leiber And the rest pitch like Weaver" Well, Dan, believe it or not, I'll actually be happy for the Bosox if they finally win (though they'd better win the Series if they beat the Yanks!). A Boston-St. Louis rematch would be a great thing to see ("re-match" referring to '46 and '67). I'll be sad to see the myth of the Curse finally dissipate if they do, but genuinely happy for the long-tortured Fenway fans. Of course, I won't mind a Yankee win either...

Same here. Shall we form a club? Fortysomething Republicans who know in their hearts that they should really be Democrats?

And you'll be fine so long as you don't get your knickers all bent out of shape when Bush gets reelected... Um... I'm hoping Jeb never gets elected in the first place! B-)

I was in graduate school there, and met Chuck when I went by the record store and was amazed by the Art Ensemble window display, lps by Roscoe, Lester, et al. Asking who did it, I met Chuck. (Didn't know who it was I met until telling this story online, and Chuck said it was him). Caught the AEC performing in Spring '72 at the Newman (Roman Catholic) Center just off campus. Chuck used to run a record-store operation here in Bloomington, too. There's a guy here who hosts and performs in a weekly jazz gig here who still talks of his awe as a teenager at going in to buy AEC records, and how Chuck brought them to B-town for a concert.

Lon, My thoughts exactly... last night I found myself wondering, "Best box-set ever?" Certainly a contender. Today I listened to the six-minute medley from Coltrane's funeral. Simply amazing.

Hey, thanks so much, gdogus! I was fairly happy with how the Herbie Nichols Project show turned out... I've got a Halloween show in the works that will include the story of the New Orleans Jazz Killer (true tale!). SOAW, the Tyner program should be archived in the next day or two. I thank the powers-that-be for the Internet (and Al Gore, of course ), as the show is going to start airing an hour later as of Nov. 1, owing to the time-change. So I'll really be pushing the archive at that point! Anyways, will give you a heads-up when "Inception" is posted.
