    Lonnie Smith

    Shocker, I LOVE this album.
  6. I'm eagerly awaiting Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus.
  7. Weird, I can't see why the Lakers would want Latrell. I thought sending Caron Butler away was done to clear space at small forward.
  8. I'm going to print this thread and make it my shopping list.
  9. Organized religion is divisive by design. I think this article is missing the mark, but I think it does point toward a need humanity has for a unifying notion of what it means to be a good human. Mankind would be better off to all unite behind the things we can all agree on, rather than group ourselves the by the false, egotistical notion of having totally figured out that which cannot be perceived. The stewards of morality are intelligence and cooperation, not faith in that which cannot be proven. Deciding who is right and who is wrong about that which is impossible to substantiate is a ludicrous decision to make and a silly thing to group ourselves by. However, it seems impossible to stop people from asserting themselves as the "true" masters of that which cannot be known. People need something else to put everyone on the same page. Therefore, mankind should establish a secular set of sacred rules to unite behind. A set of rules which no religion would argue against. The moral ideas which we can all agree upon as human beings. What moral ideas can we all agree upon?
  10. hehe, late comeback for me over Noj... ← All good, I won my office pool for almost $2000!!!
  11. I had a Big Daddy Kane album on tape ages ago. My cut was "BDK vs. Dolemite."
  12. I bought several in this series that CTI reissued: Milt Jackson's Sunflower, Freddie Hubbard's Straight Life, Deodato's Prelude, Paul Desmond's Skylark, Stanley Turrentine's Salt Song, and George Benson's Beyond The Blue Horizon. I like them all, and Concierto is definitely a favorite in the bunch. The weakest one I have is Hubert Laws' In The Beginning. Currently in the 'fridge: Sam Adams' Boston Lager.

    Bob James

    For me, Bob is good for one track an album. On One, it's "Nautilus." On Three, it's "One Mint Julep." BJ4, "Tappan Zee." Like JSngry, on Lucky Seven I like "Look-Alike." The last album of his I have is Heads, and I like the track "Night Crawler." Funky instrumentals. His early work with Grover Washington, Jr. is in the same vein, though the smoothish sax can bug at times. Feels So Good, Mister Magic, Inner City Blues, etc.

Fred Williams & The Jewels Band "Tell Her" Interesting passage from Greg Osby at AAJ... "In the mid to late '80's I was hired by several prominent Hip-hop "artists" (please forgive my facetiousness, but you know how I feel about what hip-Hop has become) to act as a contractor for a number of sample replication sessions. I was required to assemble musicians who would go into the studio and craftily simulate some of the samples that the "producers" (reducers) used in their tracks. The original artists were beginning to charge high fees for the usage of their works and it was driving the licensing costs and recording budgets through the roof. It proved to be a great side hustle for us young jazz musicians."
