How much of it has seen the come out independently of that box, in those or newer masterings? There was the 1940-42 (Blanton-Webster) 3 CD set, and the 1944-46 3 CD set. Much else?

Rita Lee hasn't been with them for over 30 years. They have been os mutantes for far far longer without her than with her.

They have another woman singer now.

I saw them at the El Rey a year or two ago, missed their full concert this time but caught their record release gig at Amoeba Records, and bought the new album. I agree, they are kickin', and having a great time, and if you go, you will too.

Wow, both the Dodgers and Angeles won in their last at bat, each starting a rally with two outs already against them. Love it!

Freeway series! ^_^

I was at yesterday's Dodger-Cardinals game. Man, that was amazing. The sort of game where, as we left, we hi-five strangers on our way out of the stadium.

But it really looked like a loss. Two out, no one on, the reliever just got the two best hitters out. The crowd didn't have a lot of energy or noise - it seemed to have gotten spent when Wainright got out of the loaded bases jam in the 8th. There weren't many towels waving on the pitch that Loney hit to Holliday (although there were plenty in the 8th and in teh rest of the 9th). Holliday says he lost it in the lights. Whatever reason, it looked like the 3rd out, and then the ball just bounced off, and it seemed like destiny after that. Casey Blake's at-bat was really the nail-biter right after that. Count 1-2, then he fouls off a couple, and then draws the walk.

Just amazing.

Went with my brother, and he said he probably thought that was the second best game ending he has been at, but he was at the game in the 1988 World Series when Gibson hit the homer (with my other brother, mom, and aunt - I was in school in Boston, screaming by myself in the college lounge).

Freeway series!!!! :-0

I come to Nels Cline through my appreciation of his guitar work in the band Wilco, never having heard his jazz stuff. But on Wilco's Live CD (Kicking Television) the very last song contains some really nice riffs from Cline which revealed another side to his playing. Otherwise, seeing this going on stage for Wilco you would never guess he was a jazz-oriented. He's full of all kinds of antics, looking for feedback and distortion, and tossing himself about in such a manner that he's given himself whiplash (see Ashes of American Flags DVD). But a thoroughly enjoyable performer nonetheless. I'm guess he must exude a different stage presence when playing more jazz-oriented stuff.

I've seen him multiple times in a jazz context but have not yet been able to get tickets to see him in his Wilco context. Just saw him at the Angel City Jazz Festival with the Nels Cline Singers (no vocalists in that group though). He's fabulous and has an excellent stage presence in these contexts.

I've seen him at All tomorrow's Parties with Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth, and at Angel City he was with Jeff Parker from Tortoise. It was painfully evident in both cases (particularly with Parker) how superior Cline is as a guitarist, in his ability to listen to the others and respond in a superb improvisation.

At every step, Lacy Pool finds new expressive possibilities in Lacy’s innate, albeit

curiously tailored, logic. Their personalities replace Lacy’s and change the way we hear

this music, which is as it should be. The song may have inspired the players, but the

players have become the song. – Art Lange

A chaque mesure, Lacy Pool trouve de nouvelles possibilités expressives dans la logique

innée, quoiqu’étrangement bien ajustée, de Lacy. Leurs personnalités remplacent celle

de Lacy et modifient, comme il se doit, la manière dont nous percevons cette musique.

La mélodie peut avoir inspiré les musiciens, mais les musiciens sont eux-mêmes devenus

cette mélodie. – Art Lange

Is three the magic number? For many jazz musicians it’s an important one.

Every record is of course significant, but the third is often more closely scrutinised.

In this sense, it’s both a great opportunity and a niggling pressure: the chance to

really begin cementing a good name, with a little weight of added expectation.

Manuel Mengis, however, did not feel any of this. He even identifies a more relaxed

approach than his two previous releases, partially due to shifting priorities in life.

An atmosphere of light, easy contentment shines through the music – Mengis and

the Gruppe 6 are really enjoying themselves, free of any kind of external strain.

And the pleasure is contagious.– Frederick Bernas

Serait-ce 3, le nombre magique? Pour de nombreux musiciens de jazz, il s’agit sans

aucun doute d’un chiffre important. Chaque enregistrement est évidemment

déterminant, mais le troisième est souvent minutieusement considéré. En ce sens,

il représente tant une magnifique opportunité qu’une pression exacerbée: la chance

de commencer à cimenter un nom porteur tout en assumant le poids d'une attente

accrue.

Manuel Mengis, pourtant, n’a pas connu ce ressenti. Il a même identifié une approche

plus détendue que celle de ses deux enregistrements précédents, imputable en partie

à l'évolution des priorités dans sa vie. Une atmosphère de lumière et de simple

contentement rayonne à travers la musique - Mengis et Group 6 prennent vraiment

du plaisir à jouer, libres de toute forme de tension externe. Et le plaisir est contagieux.

– Frederick Bernas

Let me put it this way: at their weekend sale, I picked up around 95 CDs and 35 LPs for about $110, mostly jazz. I'm lucky, though, that Rockaway is just down the street from me and I stop there at least once a week.

Yeah, that's why I avoided going.

And I live about a mile from Rockaway. What sort of jazz things were on sale?

Recorded in concert in Koeln on May 12th, 1978

The Koeln concert shows us these positive vibrations marching through

"the complete continuance of creative music," and on towards the next

millennium. The "success of the future" is not a lost cause as long as there

is music like this in the air. – Graham Lock

Quite a line-up, no?

I picked up an extra Don Pullen at Amoeba Records, new (I think; it had the extra layer of shrinkwrap that Amoeba puts on new sets). I listed it at Amazon Marketplace, but then Amazon wrote me and blocked my account for reasons which they won't divulge, due to "related links"! That's worthy of a whole separate thread. The find you guilty but won't tell you the offense or the evidence. Since I've never sold anything on Amazon, nor haave I ever been remiss with a payment, I'm stumped.

But in any case, should I eBay it, half.com it, or offer it to any of you interested folks? Maybe $80 ish? I was hoping to get over $100, really need the money, but the hell with it. PM me if interested.
