Also a fan of this album. Bought when the Conn came out in 1995 and have enjoyed it more and more over the years. Like Third Season, I could never understand what made Lion and Wolff keep this session in the can. This is top shelf Mobley IMO.

Art Blakey-Blakey-VEE

I couldn't watch the match, but I just found out this morning!

Venus yes, Serina questionable. She destroyed Sharapova in straights last year at the Australian. I believe Sharapova was hurt almost all of last year. She destroyed Henin - I think she would have taken care of Serena, too. I wanted to add that I agree that Sharapova is playing some amazing tennis and that she deserves to be in the finals. I was shocked at Henin's rather ordinary play against Sharapova. Serina's run was extrordinary last year whereas this year she really didn't defend her title as well as I thought she was going to.

Similarly "brittle" sound of the front line, maybe, and thin, top-heavy recording quality. I don't have it accessible right now, but I assume Alderson engineered the Bley. Barrage is a motherfucker - dig how Bley, Gomez and Graves just turn the rhythm around! Oh yeah! I love Barrage, probably my favorite Bley record, with Closer and Rambling a close second.

bev is a man Right, I always assumed that anyway. Those English... It's totally confusing over here, as 'Bev' can either be male or female. Kinda like "Pat" on SNL

It's pretty good. It contains Pictures of Infinity plus two CDs of live dates, one from the early 1971. Discographical details are complicated. See http://www.dpo.uab.edu/~moudry/disc_b.htm#48b for info. I'm glad I own it, but would rank it between the Shandar sets and Solar-Myth Approach in terms of priority. I have no issues with the sound. Funny that some people would considering it's Sun Ra we're talking about. Thank you for the review. I normally buy anything by Sun Ra, but I was primarily concerned with the sound not the quality of music.

I do, thank you. Yes, its very much of its time, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy it. Funny, the first thing that came to mind was not Spirits but Paul Bley's Barrage, which is another intense album. The more I listen to Burn Baby Burn, the more I dig it!

I think there was a girl named Danielle [sic] posting here a few times. Maybe back a few months...

Finally got this today. And what an album. Not the greatest, but because I'm a fan of Ayler's Spirits, I'm really enjoying the moment of the disk. Howard's solo's reminds of the same construction of Donald's; stabs but not a continous flow. Regardless, I like Joe Phillips a lot and the band is on the case. And nice notes Clifford, I really enojoyed them!

Venus yes, Serina questionable. She destroyed Sharapova in straights last year at the Australian.

Ok I need some advice on a Sun Ra box set that I have on hold. Its from Freedom/Arista and its a three cd box set. Its gotten mixed reviews on CDnow for mostly sound quality reasons. Does anyone have this set? Is it worth $22 used? Here's the cover:

Great finds today: Norman Howard-Burn Baby Burn-ESP Disk Elmo Hope Trio and Quintet-Blue Note Conn Beaver Harris 360 Degrees Music Experience-Beautiful Africa-Soul Note

Sharapova's up 3/love in the first set on Jankovic as we speak. Make that 4/love.

Venus's leg injury may have prevented her from playing her best as I saw a noticble limp before the match started and her thigh was almost completely bandaged. Nonetheless, Ivanovich capitalilzed on the situation and made Venus pay. Should be interesting to see if Sharapova will be her next opponent.

Kind of reminds of this cover:

The Federer/Blake match is on ESPN now if you want to catch it; it just started about 10 mins ago. I think Blake has nothing to be ashamed about; he played a very good game. But RFed is the kind of player that when he has competition, he always raises his game to the next level. I don't see very many players who have the capability to do that.

Not to ruin those who were sleeping on the EC, but I stayed up to watch the Federer/Blake match live and Federer won in straight sets: 7/5, 7/6, 6/4. I'm a fan of Blake too, maybe because of his incredible journey back to tennis. Sharapova is looking like a heavy favorite to win since she doesn't have to worry about being destroyed by Serena anymore.

I am largely a tennis/golf/poker fan, but I'm also a die-hard Indians/Cavs/Browns fan too. Besides my faves in the the former camp, I jeer at everyone else who does not fit that discription.

Watching Djokovic/Ferrer now (Eastern time). I have to admit that I thought that Ferrer would have the edge, but on the contarary its the other way around. Watching the US Open last year, I have no faith that Djokovic has a chance in beating Federer, if I checked the bracket correctly.

Ok, so since last year, I have had the tennis channel and now finally I can see full coverage of what's going on in the Aussie Open. Of course I also get additional coverage from ESPN, so now its complete covereage. So, in short, who are your favorites? A week's already gone by and anyone who saw the Federer/Tipsarervic (sic) match saw, in my opinion, the best match so far. So with the No. 1 & 2 seeds out in the women's draw and Federer and Nadal heading to an inevetable second final match, viz. Wimbledon 2007coming on, what are your thoughts, opinions? Again, excuse me for cutting corners, but since this is the first grand slam of this year let's get a move on!

As soon as my wife learned of his death, she's been really taking it hard. I'm personally not a fan but he seemed to be a good actor. So, with respect. I send my wishes. RIP.

Last night, roast beef, mashed potatoes and broccoli.

teens this morning
