  1. I hope you're having a great one.
  2. God particle signal is simulated as sound By Pallab Ghosh Science correspondent, BBC News Simulated Higgs production at Atlas (Cern) The Higgs boson particle is thought to give all others their mass Scientists have simulated the sounds set to be made by sub-atomic particles such as the Higgs boson when they are produced at the Large Hadron Collider. Their aim is to develop a means for physicists at Cern to "listen to the data" and pick out the Higgs particle if and when they finally detect it. Dr Lily Asquith modelled data from the giant Atlas experiment at the LHC. She worked with sound engineers to convert data expected from collisions at the LHC into sounds. "If the energy is close to you, you will hear a low pitch and if it's further away you hear a higher pitch," the particle physicist told BBC News. "If it's lots of energy it will be louder and if it's just a bit of energy it will be quieter." The £6bn LHC machine on the Swiss-French border is designed to shed light on fundamental questions in physics. It is housed in a 27km-long circular tunnel, where thousands of magnets steer beams of proton particles around the vast "ring". At allotted points around the tunnel, the beams cross paths, smashing together near four massive "experiments" that monitor these collisions for interesting events. Scientists are hoping that new sub-atomic particles will emerge, revealing insights into the nature of the cosmos. Atlas is one of the experiments at the LHC. An instrument inside Atlas called the calorimeter is used for measuring energy and is made up of seven concentric layers. Full article and sound bite
  3. Lester Bowie. How did I not get into his playing before now I don't know. Wynton Marsalis had criticism of Bowie, saying he didn't have a traditional approach to playing the trumpet, I disagree 100%. He had an original approach to playing the trumpet. He left this world to young.
  4. Most likely this may very well indeed be a bootleg, but I don't recall this. Rollins, Sonny – “Sonny Rollins” (guest artist Thad Jones) [Archive of Folk Music FS-220]

  11. Rest in peace Bill. WKCR.ORG is playing his music through the night. 84 years young.
  12. No I haven't. It isn't out yet. The release date is September 2010 A big fan of Rollins and it appears to have Sonny's blessing. Sonny has never been on that likes to draw attention to himself, so if he is giving the thumbs up, it should be worth reading.
  13. Report from the concert. Guitarist Russell Malone is now playing with Sonny. Here are his thoughts on the Discover Jazz gig in Burlington, Vermont where Jim Hall sat in: "The gig was a lot of fun. Sonny was in a good mood, laughing and talking with some of the band members just before we hit the stage. One of the the things he talked about was the importance of exercise, a sensible diet, and drinking plenty of water. He said that these were some of the things that have helped him to stay around for almost eighty years. And we are very blessed to still have him here with us. When he starts to play, you can see him transform into something else. I don't know what, but it is as if something takes possession of him. It's beautiful and scary, all at once. And last night was no exception. He played beautifully, and he was very encouraging and inspiring to the band. Then, towards the end of the show, he invited Jim Hall to the stage. To see Sonny, Jim, and Bob Cranshaw on the same stage was surreal. That one still hasn't sunk in yet. All in all, it was a great night of music."
  14. RIP.

  19. There have been many books written about Newk, but this one seems worth reading.
  20. Happy birthday. :party:
  21. From the Burlington Discover Jazz website, Sonny's playing with Bob Cranshaw on bass, Russell Malone on guitar, Sammy Figeroa on percussion and Kobie Watkins on drums. On Sonny Rollins'web site it says Jim Hall will sit in on guitar. http://www.sonnyrollins.com/
