"Untrained eye"? I doubt that. I don't think it's a requirement that you be an expert in art to make an informed decision as to what you like. If you like it, then it's good. Others may not like it, that's cool. How "good" it is is a very subjective thing. I like paintings where you can get close and study the technique (texture, brush strokes, color use, etc.) of the artist and then back away and see the finished "vision" come into focus. Monet and Van Gogh are both that way for me. Hey, here's a great one.....I love the dog that's cheating.......... ← At my last company I worked at, for 5 years service you receive a gift. They send you a link to a web site to pick your gift. This painting is on that list. I wanted to pick this.

Not that he's more important then anyone else. Fats Domino Is Missing in New Orleans By JAKE COYLE, AP Entertainment Writer 15 minutes ago NEW YORK - Fats Domino was missing Thursday, days after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, said his longtime agent, Al Embry. ADVERTISEMENT Embry told The Associated Press that he hadn't been able to contact Domino since talking to him Sunday evening by phone. The 77-year-old R&B legend, whose real name is Antoine Domino, told Embry that he planned to stay at his New Orleans house with his wife, Rosemary, and their daughter. "I hope somebody turns him up, but as of right now, we haven't got anybody that knows where he's at," said Embry, who has worked with Domino for 28 years. "I would think he might be safe because somebody said he was on top of the balcony." Checquoline Davis, Domino's niece, posted a message on Craigslist.com Thursday pleading for information. Davis wrote that Domino, his wife, their children and grandchildren "didn't get out" of the second floor. Domino, who has rarely appeared in public in recent years, has a home in the 9th ward, a low-lying area of the flooded city. Getting information on possible missing persons has been nearly impossible as phone lines for hospitals and police haven't been working. Domino has sold more than 110 million records in his long career, including the legendary singles "Blueberry Hill" and "Ain't That a Shame." His 1950 recording of "The Fat Man" is sometimes called the first real rock 'n' roll record. He was among the first honorees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I changed the question.

I would like that, but I don't think that would be allowed. Licensing problems.

I know there are some jazz scholars on this board, and it's great to have them, but if you could be a scholar, biographer, and discographer researching an artists, whom would it be? Why would you pick him or her?

Yeah, it appears to be. Would you know the set lists? I have a set list of disc one Blues March The Midgit ? Night in Tusinia ? I haven't listen yet to disc 2

The recording someone sent me list Bishop. I thought it should be Daivs jr. It is a live radio broadcast from Germany as well as an audience recording of a second show at that same time. The date could be incorrect too. The person that I obtained it from states the month as June and the days as the 18th and 19th. Wayne Shorter is on these two shows, and I know he didn't join the band till August. I will check your web site Mike to confirm that. I haven't listen to the 2 discs fully yet. The sound is poor on the audience recording.

I came across a live recording of the Jazz Messengers with Bishop on piano, but the date list as June 1959. It seems to be too early to my knowledge for him to be in the band. Any idea when je joined?

He did in 2004. He was commissioned to write a piece of music for the event. I believe Barry Harris was at this years event.

I will put it on my schedule.

We should somehow get him to join this board. We all pretend to love his music.

It makes all my problems seem real small when you see this. May God help them.

What was your first Mosaic? For me it was the Larry Young set. How many set have you gotten rid of for one reason or another? I have all of mine.

up! And hoping.

Well, here's an 1 day early happy birthday.

Just wondering if any members havet deleted any of their topics. If so why?

I'll wait for the mating season before I'd go. New exhibit at London Zoo - humans Thu Aug 25, 1:42 PM ET LONDON (AFP) - London Zoo unveiled a new exhibition -- eight humans prowling around wearing little more than fig leaves to cover their modesty. The "Human Zoo" is intended to show the basic nature of human beings as they frolick throughout the August bank holiday weekend. "We have set up this exhibit to highlight the spread of man as a plague species and to communicate the importance of man's place in the planet's ecosystem," London Zoo said. The scantily-clad volunteers will be treated as animals and kept amused at the central London zoo with games and music. "I actually think the fig leaves will be enough to cover us up, it's no worse than a swimming pool," said volunteer Simon Spiro, 19, from New Malden, south of the British capital. Spiro, selected from dozens of hopefuls in an Internet competition, said he was excited by the prospect of monkeying around on the zoo's Bear Mountain. "I'm a veterinary student so the idea of working for a zoo was something that appealed to me. "I thought it would be fun and interesting because I'm an outdoorsy kind of person," he said. Brendan Carr, 25, from Aylesbury, southern England, wrote a poem in his bid to get on the mountain. "I'm funky like a monkey and as cool as a cat, talk more than a parrot, up all night like a bat," it went. "I got a laugh like a hyena but get the hump like a camel, so cover me in fig leaves as I'm the ultimate mammal."

I often wonder why we don't see more talk here on jazz vocals. I can get into vocals. When I was a musician, a lot of times when I was trying to learn a new standard, I would track down a vocal version of it. For some reason that helped me to remember the changes better. I can dig groups like Lambert Hendrick and Ross, as well as Billie Holiday. Why it seems we don't like vocals here is beyond me. I've gotten that feeling too.

Now what about those recent discovered alternative takes? Will we get a disc in the mail? I have the complete 8 CD set of The Classic Quartet: Complete Impulse! Studio Recordings, thses new recording will not make the set complete anymore.

HAve at least another 72 Wayne. Happy B-Day.

It has to exist somewhere. The search is part of the fun of having it. I will still do my hunting.

You know, every time we post a Kenny G photo on this board, it equates to a toxic spill. It takes weeks to clean it up, and who knows its long term effect on the board members. We might end up with a rare form of cancer of the senses.

Ever since Jimmy Smith past I've been searching for the film James O. Smith the organist. I have yet to loacte it anywhere. Has anyone here come across it? J.O.S.

NY, it is $2.88.9 a gallon for regular this morning.

I forgot about Swiss Movement. I believe "compared to what" did make it on to the pop charts.
