Cedar Walton will be at the Village Vanguard during this time.

It's the good ones that go first. RIP.

If you were to make a jazz workout mix to listen on your i-pods or whatever you listen with, what would you include? Everyone always seems to just have rock mixes when they run or jog. Could a good jazz one be possible?

She had to have heard something that sparked this. Really don't know.

Only when I play them.

She's 7.

Well, it really depends on what she wants to learn. Yeah. What are her goals? Does she plan to lead the first generation of Organissimo tribute bands? Or does she want to replace Dr. Smith in LD's band? She does dig LD when I play his funky stuff. LD is at the Vanguard in 3 weeks. I should take her she would have a blast. She want to learn the organ and piano, no idea what the long term goals will be.

Thanks for the reply Jim. So any type of organ will do to start? That's good to know.

My 7 year old daughter wants to learn to play the organ. Someone is selling this one for $60. Would this be good enough to learn on?

I recently bought Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz CD with Jay McShann. Jay talks about Charlie Parker and how he took a week and went wood shedding. Now I've heard Dexter Gordon also use this term. What is the meaning of this term? Does it mean practicing?

Happy Brithday Trane. Thanks for the great music.

All the best Dan.

Greg one question, when you found this item on ebay, what did you do a search on to find this, guitar or....?

Thanks for all the music you gave us.

Bird is the phoenix, he will always rise.

More on the demise of Tower Demise of Tower Records sign of new digital agestory by Rob Lever Sun Aug 27, 6:02 PM ET WASHINGTON (AFP) - Who killed Tower Records? ADVERTISEMENT The Internet seems to be the prime suspect in the demise of the pioneering music retailer, which filed for bankruptcy earlier this month for the second time in two years for its US stores. But analysts say the rise in digital music downloads is only one of several factors in the failure of Tower, which started music superstores in California in the 1960s and expanded to global markets. Tower, whose non-US operations are not affected by the bankruptcy filing, failed to keep up with a fast-moving landscape involving online retailers such as Amazon.com and discounters like Wal-Mart, as well as a move to digital music, say analysts. The collapse of Tower "is a sign of the evolution of music," said Phil Leigh, senior analyst at Inside Digital Media, a market research firm. "It's pretty clear that recorded music is going to Internet distribution and right behind it will be video entertainment." Global sales of music CDs fell 6.0 percent in 2005, according to the London-based International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, while digital sales rose 188 percent. This trend has been similar for the past few years. But digital music downloads made up only about five percent of overall music sales, the data showed. David Card, analyst at technology firm Jupiter Research, said blaming downloads from Apple's iTunes and others for Tower's demise is "just ridiculous." "The transition to digital music has not happened by any stretch of the imagination," Card said. "Music sales have been declining steadily since 1999, for a number of reasons, such as competition with DVDs and video games, aging baby boomers, maybe a bit of file-sharing, and only very recently digital downloads. Digital music is chump change compared with sales of CDs." Card said he and other music fans still enjoy music CDs, which have several advantages over digital downloads because they have better quality, can often be copied without restriction and backed up. "If I want to buy something cheap or try a new band, maybe I'll go for the cheapest which is digital, but all else being equal I'd rather have the physical product, and I'll pay a few dollars extra for it." Among the problems facing Tower and other retailers are shrinking sales of music and thin profit margins. Wal-Mart probably hurt Tower by slashing prices on music CDs, using this as a "loss leader" to get customers in stores, said Card. At the same time, Apple has dominated the online music business with a price per song of 99 cents, of which 70 cents goes to record labels, said Leigh. Even though this generates little profit, Apple uses this to promote sales of its iPod music players. Still, the analysts say there may be ways to make money in music retailing for companies like Tower, which hopes to find a buyer for its US operations. Card said a company like Tower needs to marry the advantages of stores for promotions and appearances with the convenience of online sales and digital delivery. "If you have physical stores and digital service I think you can do things," Card said. "A store is a place where you can show things, make an entertainment experience. I believe music retail can make it if someone can put together a one-two punch with digital stores and physical products. For example, you could buy an album online and pick it up in the store." Leigh said Tower "could have done a better job of leveraging their brand in cyberspace," to compete with Amazon. Overall, he said the lesson is that companies must adapt to changing market conditions. "Tower was one of the biggest, and if evolution has taught us anything, it's not the biggest of the species that survives, it's the species most adaptable to change," he said.

Any memeber here that has a DAT player? I am looking for some help. I have a number of rare DAT recordings that I would like to convert. PM me and I can give you the details.

Revisiting an old thread from 2 years back. Made wonder has anything new come about regarding Rose's collection? Will these recordings one day find their way to a record company for release? http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...20rose&st=0

Day one of the festival was brought about one major concern. Chico Hamilton was taken to the hospital before the show. The announcer from WBGO said Chico needed our prayers. To me, that didn't sound good. Chico Hamilton will be 86 in September. Hopefully he will pull through.

As a kid in Detroit, my friends and I loved Soupy. His noon-time show was a crack-up. It was a kids show but he would do all this risque humor. We thought we were getting one over on our parents, like we were insiders. I remember those characters so well, White Fang, Black Tooth and in particular, Pookie! Didn't he get fired for telling all of the kids to go into their parent's bedrooms and find all of the green pieces of paper w/ President's picture on them and send them to him??? Yeah, that's what did him in. Didn't Soupy make a come back in the late 1960's very early 70's?

Very nice. Thanks for sharing this.

I know someone that has a copy. I didn't think video was around then. I thought video didn't come into play until 1958?
