  1. Yes, in fact the title is given before they paly it.
  2. Anyone here who wrote this tune? I can't even tell you who is playing it.
  3. All the best Ray. I saw him live on a double bill. He was playing the Blue Note with Horace Silver. He was great. Get well soon.
  4. Thanks. I will check those sessions out.
  5. This morning I heard a tenor player on my radio while on my way to work. It was Arnett Cobb. I don't know much about him. I liked what I heard. Where is a good place to start?
  6. It couldn't have come from my plane because we changed in Atlanta. And trust me Hardbopjazz ( Tom?), I'm from Rochester and nobody walks in the parks in the middle of January! But then again, your friend seems more than a little strange. I wonder if you know him. His first was Ron, and last name started with S.
  7. The same goes for me. Man, to be that rich.
  8. Here it is. http://www.horacesilver.com/fanfeast/forum/index.php Fuck! That doesn't work either. I'll have to try from home. Must be something funky going on here on my office network... No, we're just f'en with you.
  9. The one thing the site has is a jazz forum. I guess he wants to give this place a run for its money.
  10. I know. So how many did you buy?
  11. For a extra chagre, you can get an autographed copy of his autobiography. The site doesn't tell how much more it will cost. He's gotta make that buck.
  12. Betty Carter rules. I love her warm tone of her voice. She can hit that real low note that not many other woman singers can.
  13. How many of you are self taught? Can you read and write music?
  14. So I take it you don't have either of the organissimo CDs?!? FOR SHAME!!! Even worse, he thought you guys were dead He misunderstood when someone said you guys were dead on funky! What do you guys use to catalog your collection? Does anyone have a reccomendation that can make typing in 1000 cds relatively easy? I've been using Collectorz. http://www.collectorz.com/music/newsletter.php
  15. Just stay healthy and don't smoke too much and you'll help keep the percentage down. Pluse since you drive to a lot of your gigs, don't pull a Brownie. It seems a lot of jazz musicians met their demise this way.
  16. Yes, that is precisely what happened with me.
  17. So I take it you don't have either of the organissimo CDs?!? FOR SHAME!!! Bingo. I have the two CD's and that's what is keeping it under 75%.
  18. I tried to do it like the old way but it doens't work.
  19. I tried to create a poll but couldn't get it to work. Can someon explain how it works in this version of the software?
  20. Gald to say the number hasn't done up much at all in a year and a half since I first started this thread a year and a half ago. 73.9% as of Sunday January 29, 2005.
  21. How about these two? Doc Cheatham- dies back stage. Stanley Turrentine- dies on the way to hospital. He was warming up before going on stage.
  22. This belongs in this thread. Scientists Find Frozen Methane Gas Deposit By ALICIA CHANG, AP Science Writer 22 minutes ago LOS ANGELES - Scientists have discovered an undersea deposit of frozen methane just off the Southern California coast, but whether it can be harnessed as a potential energy source is unknown. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in tapping methane hydrates, ice-like crystals that form at low temperatures and high pressure in seabeds and in Arctic permafrost. Scientists estimate that the methane trapped in previously known frozen reservoirs around the globe could power the world for centuries. But finding the technology to mine such deposits has proved elusive. The newly discovered deposit, believed to be substantial in size, was found about 15 miles off the coast at a depth of about 2,600 feet, at the summit of an undersea mud volcano. Scientists were conducting an unrelated study when they came across the volcano, which sits on top of an active fault zone in the Santa Monica Basin. The discovery is detailed in the February issue of the journal Geology. The ecosystem surrounding the methane hydrate site was unlike any of the other vast hydrate deposits around the world. Scientists found seashells and clams with unique chemical characteristics, suggesting the area experiences an extreme flux of methane gas mixing with water, said Jim Hein, a marine geologist at the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park. In additional to technical problems standing in the way of mining methane hydrates, Hein said mining this deposit probably would be difficult because of its proximity to shipping lanes from Los Angeles and Long Beach. Some scientists also worry about the environmental effects of such large-scale gas deposits. Hydrates are estimated to contain about three times as much methane as is currently in the atmosphere, and some scientists say releasing it could lead to global warming and change the world's climate.
  23. At my last job I worked with a guy that was a clone of the guy the movie "a Beautiful Mind", John Nash. He had stories that he swore by. One day he was writing with a pen that said NASA on it. One of my other coworkers asked where he got it. He started to tell a story how he was walking in a park in Rochester, NY January 1986. He looked up and saw something falling out of the sky. When it hit the ground it started to melt the snow. He walked over to it and saw it was a pen with the word NASA on it. He picked it up and wondered where it fell from. When he went home, his wife was all upset. When he asked why she was so upset, she told him the shuttle just blew up. He swears the pen was from the shuttle. We told him, why he didn't turn it in. His reply was, it is evidence from an accident and he would get in trouble for having it.
  24. This is just wrong in everyway.
