yo ralphie_boy! Would you recommend Blackstone Legacy? I've been eyeing it... I've been listening to "Legends Of Acid Jazz" discs for Gene Ammons, Houston Person, and Sonny Stitt.

Anyone have them all? If so, please brag.

I agree! B) B) I think Chris Potter played a bit of it on Dave Douglas' Miles-esque The Infinite rel. 2002. Potter also played it on his Traveling Mercies. Don Byron has (naturally) played it. Maupin himself played a bit on his (most recent) release, the duo album with Pat Gleeson from 1998. BTW, has anyone heard Maupin's funky 70's stuff on Mercury? Like Slow Traffic To The Right and Moonscapes - what are they like? I have Slow Traffic To The Right and I really dig it. Similar to Herbie Hancock's electric/Headhunters-type stuff. I haven't heard Moonscapes. :rsmile:

http://home.t-online.de/home/stamil/bmmtor.htm Oh well, here's a Ben Maup discog.

Darn it, is this another one of my threads that will go the way of the dodo? Cleveland eatin'? A bowl of chili?

I love the Headhunters, and have his album Slower Traffic To The Right. I would love to read other leader or side man recommendations for Mr. Maupin.

Jim Thorpe? Jesse Owens? I think there were too many atheletes to pick an athelete of the century, it would be better to pick them by sport: Basketball: Wilt (50 and 25 for a season) Kareem (sky hook, 'nuf said) Oscar (triple double for a season) Magic (won NBA title as a rookie, playing all five positions) Jordan (unstoppable, period) others: Bill Russell, Jerry West, Dr. J, Zeke, Bird & McHale, Maravich, Moses Malone, Shaq & Kobe, Stockton & Malone... Baseball: Babe Ruth Ty Cobb Mickey Mantle Joe DiMaggio Barry Bonds others: Pete Rose, Nolan Ryan, I don't know baseball well enough... Football: Jim Brown Joe Montana John Elway Walter Payton OJ Simpson others: Jerry Rice, Lynn Swann, Johnny Unitas, Mean Joe Green, help me out... Boxing: Muhammad Ali Rocky Marciano Joe Frazier Joe Louis Mike Tyson others: Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard, ??? Skateboarding (for shits and giggles): Rodney Mullen Tony Hawk Steve Caballero Jamie Thomas Guy Mariano others: Steve Alba, Christian Hosoi, Matt Hensley, Erik Koston, Dae Won Song, Bob Burnquist... Agree/disagree?

Thanks Lon. I'm more partial to songs I have heard on Harlem Bush Music than the song "Music Is My Sanctuary." :rsmile:

I have the title track from the Gary Bartz and it is OK. I'm wondering, is the rest of the album better (less singing maybe)?

Phil Upchurch

Just out of curiosity, is there a total number of Blue Notes?

If you start bad enough topics (as I have been known to do) they tend to delete themselves. I think B-3er plays Kevorkian to threads that drop with few replies... :rsmile:

The Breakfast Club The Jerk Trading Places Damn slsmcgrew, how did I forget RAISING ARIZONA? Great one.

I can't listen to some music I like with certain people. Some people get caught up in stereotypes and who-should-listen-to-what--strange phenomenon, definitely incongruous to my own listening. It is as if people think that I should listen to music by white people because I am white; or music in English as opposed to Porteuguese or Spanish or French or Japanese; or even that the music should be new, as if it were somehow superior to old music.

I'm a lifelong Laker fan, but I like basketball enough to watch any NBA game on TV. I also grew up playing the game with my brothers and friends, and it really becomes fun when you begin to think the game while you play it. There is no team sport like it to me. I'm a lifelong Raider fan for football, Dodger fan for baseball, but basketball is my sport as far as team competition goes. I'm a UCLA fan for college sports, so there hasn't been much to cheer about for a bit. For individual sports, I skateboard and snowboard. There was actually a decade+ of my life that I spent skateboarding. It becomes something else after that much time--I'm at HOME on that board with wheels. Snowboarding is a similar high--unbelievably fun. :rsmile: :rsmile:

De La Soul "Me Myself & I" NWA "Express Yourself" LL Cool J "Goin' Back To Cali" DNice "25 To Life" Yo! MTV Raps! :rsmile: :rsmile:

I quit smoking because I ceased to enjoy it. However, I would never count my chickens before they hatch by pretending not smoking will make me live longer. There are no guarantees; life is not promised. Every breath could be one's last, every moment one spends alive is a gift. I've known people who didn't get 20 years on this earth, who am I to think I am entitled to any more than I get? I eat red meat and fried foods, enjoy alcohol and THC, drink caffeinated beverages and eat sweets--and I'd still smoke cigarettes if I still liked to do so.

I think these were all in the 80s: Airplane Caddy Shack Pee-Wee's Big Adventure Full Metal Jacket Scarface Dirty Harry :rsmile:

I wasn't DEEPly offended, but Jutta's body is barely cold. I don't think they should have censored it, but I know why they did.

I smoked about a pack a week of Parliament Lights from when I was 16 until I was 24. Quit cold turkey, without any lapse or difficulty three years later. Most smokers I know struggle to give it up. I think the key is to actually want to quit. I enjoyed smoking cigarettes at the beginning, but at some point I decided I didn't want to do it anymore so I didn't.

No jazz for me either, right now Jazzmoose. I'm bumpin' tonight: Typical Cats Cee-Lo Green and His Perfect Imperfections The Grouch Crusader For Justice Automator Ready For My Close-Up DJ Krush Code 4109 Talib Kweli Quality The track "Joy" with Mos Def is playing right now--gives me chills it is so good. Speaking of spine-tinglingly good, I just pried Wayne Shorter's Speak No Evil out of my player after two days of heavy rotation. What an album! :rsmile:

I went down to my local used vinyl spot and picked up the following: Clifford Brown Paris Collection Vol. 2, sealed $5 Art Farmer Quintet Time & Place, sealed $5 Sonny Rollins Saxophone Colossus, used $4 Shelly Manne Hot Coles, used $4 Keith Jarrett Shades, used $3 Dave Brubeck Time In, used $3 To top it off my initial BMG order just arrived. I have more to listen to than there are hours in the day. :rsmile:

That's a great essay. He seems very reasonable in his opinion. It is disgusting what Kenny G did with that Armstrong track. There've been a lot of good laughs on the board today, this was the best one! I hope the Gorelick himself has read it.

Now that's a criminal cover art switch! I demand justice.
