Yeah, I agree on that point.

I remember driving over that bridge often when I lived in Minneapolis. I can't imagine how traumatic it would be to be in this situation - my heart goes out to the victims. I called my family and my sister and her fiance are safe; still have to find out about a few friends though.

Now: Brokeback - Another Routine Day Breaks (Hi-Ball) Great little EP by Doug McCombs of Eleventh Dream Day, Tortoise and a bunch of other things I rarely listen to. But this is really nice.

Indeed. I haven't heard the other one he did for the label - a little scarcer, I think.

If you don't have it at all, buy the CD. If you have the LPs, don't buy the CD. It's that simple!

Wow, sad to hear this. The Blakey 4tet is indeed a particularly fine one! RIP.

Well, I think of "Modern Jazz" as related to "Modern Art" or Modernism... reaching its aegis, by some accounts, in the years from 1947-1960. In that sense, it's accurate. Contemporary would be from the recent past (late '70s - early '80s) through the present.

They're both fine musicians, not always to my taste but who/what is? Much respect to both, and glad that they are both still with us.

I have Ramblin' on Vault via a Fresh Sound reissue. It's rather good. I had Easterly Winds at one point on LP, but culled it - not a clean copy, though the music is fine indeed. AMG are full of shit most of the time.

I'd try to contact him through his website. Grachan Moncur III

Yeah, I heard it the other day - the LP was at a shop and I gave it a spin. Not good.

I would LOVE a Mosaic of the Aristas. I have had most of them on vinyl, but a rash of culling necessitated some casualties. The boxed set on Ring totally hurts my feelings.

TCB is on CD, or was, in Japan. That's what I have. Are most of the Vocalions in print still? I gave up on finding the Beckett RCA's on vinyl.

I have a couple of single LP Soul Notes that are about an hour in length. They sound okay. Bluiett is a serious dude - I'd recommend it on name alone (don't have it though).

Uhmm... me want.

I'd like to hear that Vanilla record, actually. Phineas is on it.

Don't forget 'The Passenger,' an excellent film that I prefer to Blow-Up and Zabriskie.

PM attempted but unclear if it worked.

No, but I look forward to hearing it...

Ah, sure I do. It might be as good a sell as the presence of Bob Pozar.

There was... I went searching for it and then realized I was the one who started it. Your memory just goes out the window... Previous MJQ/Apple thread Did you look behind the dumpster, GoM?

I'd like to get Bob James's first record for Mercury; it's supposed to be good, and predates the ESP. That Onion "op-ed" is pretty good and quite believable.

It could be had for less, ~$500. But yeah, you're right. I'd also like to get the silkscreened promotional Ornette ESP. It's sweet-looking.

Michael Lee Yonkers Band - Microminiature Love - (Destijl) If this had actually come out in '68 when it was supposed to... yikes!

He was a cousin of mine. We weren't close by any means, but he was always a family curiosity. RIP Tom.
