Growing up with HBO in the seventies allowed me to see all kinds of movies growing up. One that stands out is Avalanche from 197-. I recall that there was quite alot of nudity

On the 'Virgin Venture' label. For a brief pico-second when jazz was the latest big marketing/advertising thing over here. Didn't last.. Right. Last Exit's Iron Path is the only other one on the Virgin Venture label that I can think of at the moment.

I think in the reflection of the glass door taking a picture of Harold Vick on Steppin' Out:

Happy BDay DB! Will have to spin Echo and After Love tonight-two frickin' great records!

Happy Birthday Prince Lasha!

Pretty good used cd haul today: Lennie Tristano & Warne Marsh-Intuition-Capitol Jazz Hampton Hawes Trio Vol. I-Contemporary/K2 Edition Sun Ra-Pathways to Unknown Worlds/Friendly Love-Evidence Eddie Costa Quintet-Mode/VSOP Pepper Adams Quintet-Mode/VSOP

I met Lester Bowie after a lecture he gave in my jazz class in '96; he even wore the white lab coat. Can't tell you much of what he said in those few minutes after class because I guess I was a little star-struck, but in that hour lecture, I was immediately impressed with how deep his knowledge was with not just jazz, but classical and other forms of music. He even played for us to illustrate some of his points. Definitely ranks as one of the coolest experiences. PS: any thoughts about BF disc, Twilight Dreams?

What do you mean by humor?

I've always been curious about Bowie's Brass Fantasy work, but never got around to it. I have 'Twilight Dreams' on hold at Half Price but I can't seem to pull the trigger on it because I'm concerned about having too much brass. So, are Lester's BF albums any good? Penguin gave his BF albums so-so reviews, so I thought I'd come to the Organissimo community instead and seek opinions/recommendations here, which I trust more. Thanks, HG

USA only covers up to the quarters, after that CBS takes over. We didn't have live tv coverage here either, which is absurd. I had to watch the game via live web feed on my laptop, which crapped out in the third set, which after that I had a frozen 'still' from the broadcast and ended up listening to the rest of the game. What crap!

Time for a re-touched cd

Not necessarily during a ceremony, but Djokovic comes immediately to mind when he chastised Roddick last week for his innocuous comments on his 'injuries' even though Roddick said he was kidding around. Djokovic managed to get an entire stadium to boo at him. I never thought Djokovic's impersonations of Sharapova and Nadal were in good taste either. But, that's just me.

13 big ones. Made history tonight with five consecutive US Open grand slam titles. And what a class act; Roger always has positive remarks for his opponents and the game.

For whatever reason, CBS (at least in my area) is not broadcasting the men's final...have to watch a live webcast instead

Yeah, it was a good final. Serena didn't drop a set, which is impressive when considering Venus and Jankovic in the ranks. I thought it was kind of amusing how Jelena wanted more time on the mike. She needed to make it to a final to at least give a non-point tally reason to justify her no. 2 ranking-so congrats to her for achieving that!

Serena's the new 2008 US Open Champ and the new world's no. 1; not a bad night! PS: Soul Station: did you catch the slow-mo shots of Serena?

Serena's up a set!

Rafa out and Murray has won two of his three meetings with RFed...should make for an interesting match tomorrow!

No prob...still like to hear ur poem though

Woah. That's some serious flooding! Cleared up and beautiful here today.

Hang tight. You never know what you're really in store for until it hits, and it seems that in most cases, its not as bad as it seems. Keep your chin up FFA!

waitaminute...u mean Serena...right?
