SS1--all the Laker games have been on TV in LA, but some are on tape delay which I hate. The Lakers are playing some tough defense, and the ball movement on offense is a thing of beauty. I too hope Alonzo Mourning can get healthy and live a long life. He's really had some terrible luck. I had no idea he was only 6'9"--I thought he was a legit 7 footer! Makes his career numbers even more impressive. KMart should feel stupid for making all those negative comments about 'Zo.

Oops, thanks for the correction. I meant "both" rather than "all three," and now that you mention it I'm not sure if Move Your Hand has wah wah either. Regardless, the funk and vocals might clash with Conn's tastes.

It wasn't "Turning Point," Pete; it's "Think!" that I have and like. "Mozambique" was a big disappointment for me. Can't take those wah wah guitars and funky singing. Will admit, however, that the tunes really picked up when Lonnie did his solos. Haven't yet heard "Drive." I know that Undergroundagent talks about "Move Your hand" as his favorite Lonnie Smith. Conn, if you don't like Mozambique I'd say the odds are you won't like Move Your Hand or McDuff's Moon Rappin.' All three of these are funky, have wah wah pedals, and vocals.

I'm throwing back a couple Sierra Nevada Pale Ales before the fantastic meal ensues. Let me say I am very thankful to have met all these great jazz enthusiasts here on Organissimo. Y'all keep me endlessly informed and entertained. I hope to one day share a cold one with everyone here! Cheers!

Impressive, Peter. I ran three games of full court basketball last night and had my right calf cramp up horribly. Someone in your shape probably wouldn't break a sweat running three measley games.

I'm not the best at knowing who played on what albums, so I was looking at Cedar Walton on AMG and found he's on some of my favorite albums: John Coltrane GIANT STEPS Sonny Criss UP, UP, & AWAY Dexter Gordon TANGERINE Joe Henderson MODE FOR JOE Milt Jackson OLINGA Clifford Jordan GLASS BEAD GAMES I also have his album ANIMATION, which gets a low rating on AMG but I think it has some cool moments. Edited for a repeat

I've listened, and I'm impressed. I paid particular attention to the drumming and thought, "damn, Deep is good!" The music isn't my bag, but I have respect for the professional experience and hands-on knowledge of jazz creation that Danny D'Imperio brings to the table. Way to go man, keep jazzin' it up!

Every Thanksgiving I used to watch The Twilight Zone marathon, usually not movies. One Thanksgiving, my brothers and I watched RESERVOIR DOGS--a good family film. Mom kept poking in from the kitchen saying "what on earth are you watching?" and "I don't like the language in this movie." We of course called her in to watch the cop get his ear cut off.

We had some idiot do the same thing near my house but with a crossbow. The deer in my neighborhood are so tame they'll hang out 30 feet from me playing basketball. Gee, real tough targets!

Anyone have a picture of Caesar Romero as the Joker?

Now, back to the important stuff! B)

Dude, where do I order?

I'll buy it, count me in! Do "Message From A Black Man"

Stanley Cowell ILLUSION SUITE POCJ-2793 Made In Japan POLYDOR K.K., distributed by Universal Music K.K. SN

mikeweil--you're right, it is a Japanese import if I recall. If no one else can provide further info I will when I get home.

This is available on cd, I have it.

And Happy Birthday to you too! Hmmm, what planets aligned to bring us Conn and Weizy on the same day?

Happy Birthday!

I gave them one more chance, and a Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis track froze my computer. It was the last straw, I cancelled.

I am convinced it is ruined, and I will cancel. I have a whole shelving unit of cdrs to listen to, so I can't complain.

I too have a cd burner and can assist with distribution if necessary. I definitely want to participate in BF#4.

I absolutely abhor Linkin Park and Limp Biskit.
