That's my favorite track, love that liquid sounding bass line. Thanks for the info, Late.

I heard the total amount they'll receive if they win the settlement is about $300 each.

Damn, Miles could really recognize musicians! Brutal criticisms, I love it. Thanks for posting this.

Fairly sure it's Mr. Aebersold. The track I heard had his count-off sampled, and it would enter in, stop-time, like some sort of backbeat rap track. If memory serves, Rufus Reid was on bass, Dan Haerle on piano, and Adam Nussbaum on drums. Or, at least those guys are on some of the Aebersold play-along's. Jamey came to North Texas in 1989 when I was there. He was a great guy, and played the hell out of the alto. More impressive than I had expected. Some of the Aebersold play-along tracks can be found on various compilations, like this one ... Which tracks on that Groove Merchant compilation are Aebersold? I downloaded it (along with tons of other Ubiquity compilations) from emusic in '03. Funky stuff.

As a leader, I enjoy Uptown Conversation with Herbie Hancock, Hubert Laws, Grady Tate/Billy Cobham. As a sideman, he is on a number of my all-time favorite albums including Herbie Hancock's Empyrean Isles and Joe Henderson's Mode For Joe.

Yep, but only if the fruitcake stays in. Of COURSE I'm staying in!!! Just foolin' Al--I'll be more than happy with whatever you send.

Anyone else want all three if Al makes three? The BFT, the Christmas disc, and the bonus disc!

I eat it for days after Thanksgiving, in all its glorious textures.

Gotta love a holiday where one eats a great meal in mass quantities. Mom will be baking up a massive turkey loaded with stuffing, green beans, broccoli cheese casserole, my Grandma's red wine salad, mashed potatoes and gravy, deviled eggs...man, I can't wait. My brother's girlfriend is bringing some mushrooms stuffed with bacon and other goodies. Pumpkin pie, apple pie... I have much to be thankful for, including all the friends I've made here at this great forum. Happy Thanksgiving!

I think the whole point of the thing is that no one should throw a drink and expect no ass whooping in return--not that handing out ass whoopings is proper procedure.

My fault, as usual.

PM sent!

Damn that's cool BFrank. I've been to Jimi's vault space where all the original audio is. Closest I can get.

De doo doo doo, de da da da

It was a dirty, cheap foul by Artest given the score and the time left. If anyone, Ben Wallace might have been punished more severely than he deserved.

Anyone remember Chevy Chase's SNL skit "Church Of The Confusethed?" Edit--crossed my Steve Martin with my Chevy Chase.

Happy Birthday!

More cowbell?

Yes, that would solve everybody's problem. Violence is the answer. Hey, it has been deemed the answer in Iraq per Bush & The Gang. Perhaps Artest was simply following in the footsteps of our authority figures.

There are so many potential variables in that scenario that to unequivicolly reach that single conclusion is really pretty dumb. Yes, I agree. I was joking (and so was bobetterblues). I should have put the " "

I'm afraid Brad is right on the money, TJazz. However, bobetterblues at JC made a great point that if someone threw a drink on someone at a bar the person who threw the drink would be due an ass whooping.

Correction, Artest thinks he's NWA vintage Dr. Dre! He's nuttier than I thought! Cue the Twilight Zone theme...

I always wanted to be the player who acted like he'd done it before. TO is the player who takes celebrating to its most assinine extremes.

I wasn't offended at all by the sexual content, but I tire of the tasteless combining of sports and advertising. From renaming stadiums and bowl games to really stupid ads like this NFL bs--that's the real disgrace. Terrell Owens has no class. Are you ready for some football? Yeah I'm ready, stop trying to sell me some unrelated sleazy show. Stupid fricking light shows and fireworks started up the Clipper game the other night. Can I watch some hoop? Just announce the starting five and tip it up, I don't want to see all that shit. Smoke all throughout the Staples--that's great for the players to breathe. Who's the genius that decided basketball fans need more than the Clippers Spirit to entertain? Cue the dancing girls on the jumbotron when the ball isn't in play. Thanks thanks.
