IIRC, Electric Byrd was recorded at the same session as Kofi. Both are long time favorites. I'm with you on the Mizells, akanalog.

I like the Mizell-produced Donald Byrd album Places & Spaces. A few Bobbi Humphrey tracks too.

Kobe's still clutch, and can get that shot for himself. That's just freaky athleticism. That had to hurt the Denver crowd, #8's not their favorite.

The Lakers are torture for me to watch, just two quarters into the season. Phil will need to work some real magic to make them any good. Maybe he'll bail out like Tomjanovich. Kobe Bryant just had about the ugliest quarter of basketball I've ever seen him play. Two highlight reel plays in exchange for twelve rookie-like errors.

Now that my brain has been relieved of flatulence, I'd also recommend "Got To Find A Way" with the great song "Ain't No Love Lost."

Hey, I earned it. Sometimes the ol' synapses just fire incorrectly. No points this round.

Monk's Music is no longer available.

← Whoops, brain fart. Get Curtis Mayfield's school of 20th century soul compilation.

Trouble Man too!

News to me. I fully expect the Pistons to be in the hunt this season. They've still got their championship core together.

I had this album about 5 years ago, and I sold it. It was my first and only Ornette Coleman album so far. Now I wish I had it to listen to.

For Bernard Purdie it's Purdie Good and Shaft.

I batted .000 this time around. 16Ks. Nicely done catesta, thanks again. I've got to pick up some Ellington with Hawk, Jimmy Woods, Fathead, Benny Carter...Nearly every BFT has introduced me to more discs I'd like to add to my collection than I can possibly afford, and this one was no exception. I've got a hell of a "want list" though!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Yes, I especially like Piano Improvisation #1.

Up for Ellington! Can't get enough of Piano In The Foreground!

Up!

Happy Birthday!

I'm interested in hearing anything she recorded, especially this.

I think the death penalty should be enforced quickly, not many years after the fact. Quick justice, quick retribution, while the grief and pain are still fresh in everyone's minds, is the only way to make the death penalty a just, effective deterrent. Does this man have the same thoughts as the one who committed the crimes? At this point we've given him time to reflect, time to regret, time to understand the terrible consequences of his actions. He's shown a different direction as a human being. Are we executing the same person? I sure wouldn't want to be an executioner. What if it's wrong?

The one thing they need to get into Kwame Brown's head is that he is stronger than most of the opponents he plays against. If he can beat his man down the court and establish himself strongly inside, he can be a force. That's what he needs to consistently accomplish, every time down court. I've yet to see Bynum, since he's been out with that abdominal injury. Both he and Kwame need to be the focal point of the offense. Forget winning, and develop the youngsters. Kobe looks great in preseason, last preseason game I watched he scored 27 in 25 minutes. Too bad it will go to waste on a team that looks very similar to last year. If Phil can make these guys a winner, he's more of miracle worker than anyone has given him credit for. I don't think he can pull it off. Last night the Lakers sent Jumaine Jones away for some future draft picks, further loosening up the logjam at small forward.

Dallas Detroit Cleveland Cincinnati Jacksonville New Orleans Carolina Oakland NY Giants San Diego Philadelphia Tampa Bay New England Pittsburgh - 28pts

I believe the Astros stranded 14 runners in the extra innings. Hats off to the White Sox' pitching staff, indeed.

Happy Birthday!
