Hardbopjazz

Two greats in the past week. RIP Julian. Thanks for the music.

WKCR is doing their customary memorial broadcast. http://www.wkcr.org

Wow, another one has left us. RIP Donald and thank you for all the great music you provided to the world.

How popular is baseball in Holland?

Yeah, that was my impression too (at least one of them). I'm actually surprised that this is a famous player. Gotta work on this. It almost sounds like a 7-string guitar when he hits the lower notes, but I don't want to jump to any conclusions. The tone (in that respect) might suggest someone like Bucky Pizzarelli (one of the first to use a 7-string), but the style and phrasing aren't saying Bucky to me. Hmm... Why don't you say Bucky? For the reasons I gave. The tone reminds me of Bucky, but not the style and phrasing. I have a few recordings by him, but not sure any of them are live, and they're fairly dated now. I don't know when this was recorded, but I suspect it's relatively recent, so maybe I'm just not familiar enough with the evolution of his playing... ... but if it IS Bucky, then that would mean you're giving it to us... so now I'm confused. Yes it is Bucky. Well, I guess I didn't trust myself enough. The tone is definitely Bucky, and like I said, it sounds like an "oldtimer"- particularly the rhythmic feel toward the end of the solo (almost like a banjo attack, and Bucky played banjo before guitar). I think I was thrown by those single-line trills and what I perceived to be a little trouble with finding the swing pocket. I still would say that this isn't the best of Bucky. I think Bucky's playing was deliberate on this recording, to sound like a banjo. The music is mainly Dixieland on this recording, and just about any Dixieland band would have used banjo instead of guitar.

I can see someone buying this for another reason. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2273568/Thats-indispensable-Vibrating-pen-lets-know-make-spelling-grammar-mistake.html#axzz2K3nkTQ2W

Glad you liked it Bill.

No I won't. This one should be real easy to guess.

Even Netflix doesn't have Hill Street Blues to stream. As you said Dan, after season one, no other seasons were released.

No. Hint, This one is fairly recent.

Nope.

No, not American. It is just a trio.

Aha! So, is the pianist Cecil Bernard, too? MG No it isn't Bernard Oh well, I give up. MG You can't screen uncle yet. You know who all of these players are, with the exceptions of the bones player. This was the first time I ever heard him.

I know some of you would have liked the sound at a higher level. I boosted the sound if anyone wants a different copy. The 6 and 7 came from LPs, and I original tried to reduce the pops and clicks. I did transfer of those two again. Both much better http://www.sendspace.com/file/cpcb2e

No. But you are getting there. I can tell.

Sorry, not Mingus.

RIP Mr. Mayor. He was NYC.
