Agreed.

Do you agree with the album ratings that allmusic.com has given to the 3 releases by Organissimo? Or do you say the hell with critics? I do listen to the second album more, so I guess I would hate that one higher. I was just listening to "Brither Ray". 3 1/2 stars Waiting for the Boogaloo Sisters 4 stars This Is the Place 3 1/2 stars Groovadelphia

When I was a musicians I would often compose tunes from dreams.

A true story from this past July. Over this past summer I caught the Dizzy Gillespie’s All Star Big band at the Blue Note in NYC. James Moody, Jimmy Heath, Slide Hampton and a host of others. There was a couple sitting at my table along with 4 other people. The guy was talking to the rest of us before the show. He claimed to know everything about jazz. Fifteen minutes into the set he questioned “when will Dizzy come on to the stage”. The woman next to me said, “if Dizzy walks on the stage it would make the front page of every newspaper in the world”. The guy seemed to be puzzled. He asked why to the woman. Her answer was simple, “because he’s been dead for 15 years”.

World stocks dive to 5-year lows Digg Facebook Newsvine del.icio.us Reddit StumbleUpon Technorati Yahoo!

(Toru Hanai/Reuters) LONDON (Reuters) – Global stock markets plunged again on Friday to their lowest in five years and major currency rates gyrated wildly on intense concern about a worldwide recession, corporate damage and fragile emerging markets. Wall Street stock index futures, pointing to large U.S. losses later, were frozen on and off as they fell as much as rules allow in one day. European shares lost more than 8 percent and Japan's Nikkei tumbled almost 10 percent. The dollar and yen -- considered among the safer currencies -- surged to multi-year highs against European currencies such as the euro and sterling as investors repatriated investments in search of shelter and speculation of global interest rate cuts weakened those currencies with the highest rates now.

As of 9:15 AM on October 24th The stock market in the US didn’t get to open today and it is down a thousand points. All hell has broke lose here where I work. All these banks are in panic mode. I say it is time to buy stocks. When it doe rebound you will be wealthy. But first you need money.

If you have never seen Cecil Taylor, even if he isn't your cup of tea, you should go see him. He is amazing live.

On youtube there is an alternative version of “Tenderly”. I dig this version more than the one on the CD. While I do enjoy the master take, why was this take rejected? Maybe one day when there’s a Mosaic Organissimo it will be included.

Wow. Hope all works out for you in the end. But I have to admit that was the best I quit ever.

Yet some more banking woes. JPMorgan profit sinks as credit deteriorates By MADLEN READ, AP Business Writer 1 hour, 49 minutes ago NEW YORK - JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s profit tumbled 84 percent in the third quarter after it took big hits from souring mortgage investments, leveraged loans and home loans. Profit at the New York-based bank, considered one of the stronger players in the current financial meltdown, came in better than Wall Street anticipated. But the deterioration seen in all types of loans — from home equity loans to prime mortgages to credit cards — bodes badly for a banking industry that is requiring unprecedented investment from the federal government.

Thanks for cheering us up. That's me. Sorry but it isn't over. It was just stupid greed that has caused all this and a lack of big brother watching. The company I work for also handles a large portion of the auto dealerships for 2 of the 3 US auto makers. Don't be surprised if there's going to be a bail out for these guys next. We're in real sad shape. If I was running for the oval office, it's going to take more then two terms to get the US back on the road to recovery, and it's not going to make you look pretty with some choices that need to be made.

Work wise, I am as busy as hell because if this. I work for a company that deals with all these banks. We process the US debt through our computer systems. The computers I work with are doing on avarage of 4.2 trillion dollars a day in the US debt. We also have information on the health of many of these banks before the information is made public. The worst is not over yet, with the risk of getting in trouble I'll leave it at that. Personally I’ve had to cut back on some stuff. My wife and child and I do not go out eat as many times as before. Instead of driving my car to the train station to get to work, I am walking. I guess this one is a benefit in two ways. I’m getting excise and secondly I am cutting down on CO2 emissions. The number of music CDs I am buying has also dropped. It sucks.

1 bad connection caused atom smasher shutdown By ALEXANDER G. HIGGINS, Associated Press Writer 45 minutes ago GENEVA - A bad electrical connection likely caused the malfunction that sidelined the world's largest atom smasher days after it was launched with great fanfare, a senior scientist said Monday. The fault was probably a poor soldering job on one of the particle collider's 10,000 connections, said Lyn Evans, project leader of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the European Nuclear Research Organization. Only one fault in 10,000 isn't bad, "but it cost dearly," Evans said. It will take at least two months for the repair, meaning the collider cannot be restarted until spring, after its mandatory shutdown due to high electricity costs during the winter. Full Story

I was reading the liner notes to the Dexter Gordon Jazz Icons DVD. Lorraine Gordon talked about one reason Dexter moved to Europe was because he couldn't get a cabaret card to play in New York due to his drug arrest. This was the same for other jazz musicans too. About when did cabaret cards become obsolete?

Ouch. "While under going a simple medical procedure the surgeon drops the scalpel and it slices off a section of your heart and you die while on the operating table."

Thanks Mark. Great photos as always
