Has anyone picked up this DVD yet? If so, what do you think of it? I'm torned between this one up or the 1962 New Port Jazz Festival.

So that's who I passed when I walked by the club. There was this guy sitting on a lounge chair in from of the club wearing a Andrew Hill t-shirt. I guess Rooster wants the best seat in the house. Good for him.

Any members outside of Organissimo ever been on any rrcordings? I know there are a few.

I have to go see this one. He has Charles Tolliver playing with him on May 21st.

I have to try that one next time.

I'm most likely not the only one who's gone into a CD store and picked out a shit load of CD's to buy, and then have to figure out how to cut the numbers down to a sensible anount that the wallet could handle. Who else has this happen to? How do you decide which CD will make it home with you and which will have to wait?

So, I take it you have bought all the cds you want and are looking for more. Why do you say that Chuck? Are they trading officially available material? Guy I was asking if he/she had bought (or at least owned) every recording "they" could have wanted and now "needed" more, hence downloads. No, I don't every recording I want. In fact, this past Sunday I was at J&R music world in NYC. I had 15 CD's in my hand and had a hell of time cutting it down to 8 I ended up buying.

If Coltrane lived past 1967, where would he have taken his music? Towards the end of his life he was submerged in free jazz, and he also had some eastern influences to his music. I think it would have been more towards the “Stellar Regions” sound. But give it a few years and he would have changed his sound and music again. Any thoughts?

If jazz sold like top 40 music, I believe almost every artist would have his entire discography available. Do you prefer it the way it is now, where just an elite group of listeners enjoy the music regardless of sessions going out of print?

I had read that a while back he lost his chops and went into teaching. Don't remember where I read this.

Does he play anymore, or is he retired from playing?

Have a good one.

I couldn't believe this when I was in Montana 8 years ago. You can have a case of beer in your car and you're also able to drink it when driving. All things must pass. By BOB ANEZ, Associated Press Writer HELENA, Mont. - Some Montana motorists, the joke goes, measure distances driven by how many beers they can down along the way. But the long-cherished right to have a cold one behind the wheel is about to end. State lawmakers passed an open-container ban Friday that makes Montana one of the last states to outlaw drinking while driving. The Montana House approved the bill 76-21 and sent it to Gov. Brian Schweitzer, who has said he will sign it. It takes effect Oct. 1. The delay is designed to let Montanans get used to the prohibition, which until now had been found only in cities and towns, not out on the open highway. Only Mississippi now lacks a state law against open containers, though many cities and counties there also prohibit open containers locally. While Montana had stood to lose $5 million a year in federal highway funds if it failed to pass the law, the debate focused on balancing safety and personal freedom. Montana has the highest rate of alcohol-related deaths, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "This is one of those laws that will start the cultural change that we need on the highways of Montana. We hope that just the existence of the law will make a difference," said Lt. Col. Mike Tooley, deputy chief of the Montana Highway Patrol. University of Montana sociologist Jim Burfeind said the state's holdout status was understandable, given the long, lonely drives often required when only 927,000 people live in a state the size of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio combined. "We think we're a very different place than other places and that we don't have to run by the rules that other people have to in more congested areas," Burfeind said. To muster enough support for the bill, supporters accepted what some consider weak penalties for violations. A driver caught with an open container faces a $100 fine, and the offense does not show up on a person's driving record.

It's down again.

Earth's Oldest Known Object on Display 1 hour, 30 minutes ago Science - AP By RYAN J. FOLEY, Associated Press Writer MADISON, Wis. - A tiny speck of zircon crystal that is barely visible to the eye is believed to be the oldest known piece of Earth at about 4.4 billion years old. For the first time ever, the public will have a chance to see the particle Saturday at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where researchers in 2001 made the breakthrough discovery that the early Earth was much cooler than previously believed based on analysis of the crystal. To create buzz about an otherwise arcane subject, the university is planning a daylong celebration of the ancient stone — capped with "The Rock Concert" by jazz musicians who composed music to try to answer the question: What does 4.4 billion years old sound like? "This is it — the oldest thing ever. One day only," said Joe Skulan, director of the UW-Madison Geology Museum, where the object will be displayed — under police guard — from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. "The idea of having a big celebration of something that's so tiny — we're playing with the obvious absurdity of it." With the aid of a microscope, anyone will be able to check out the tiny grain, which measures less than two human hairs in diameter. A concert by Jazz Passengers, a six-piece group from New York hired to compose music for the event, will follow on Saturday evening. In posters hanging on campus, the concert is advertised as "a loving musical tribute to the oldest known object on Earth." Composer Roy Nathanson said the concert will mix humor, jazz music, computer-generated beats, and the occasional rocks being banged together to "follow the geological history of how this zircon came about." "It's an amazing story. The whole thing is something that captures your imagination," said Nathanson, 53, a saxophonist who spent one year composing the performance. Analysis of the object in 2001 by John Valley, a UW-Madison professor of geology and geophysics, startled researchers around the world by concluding that the early Earth, instead of being a roiling ocean of magma, was cool enough to have oceans and continents — key conditions for life. "It's not very much to look at because it's so very small. But to me, the miraculous thing about the crystal is that we've been able to make such wide-ranging inferences about the early Earth," Valley said. "This is our first glimpse into the earliest history of the Earth." Valley found that the planet had cooled to about 100-degrees Centigrade less than 200 million years after it was formed. Before the research, the oldest evidence for liquid water on the planet was from a rock estimated to be much younger — 3.8 billion years old. As part of Saturday's event, Valley will display a brand new, $3 million ion microprobe that he and other researchers will use to analyze tiny samples such as the zircon crystal. The hand-built instrument weighs 11 tons and takes up an entire laboratory. Valley, who has tried to obtain the equipment for 22 years, had to travel to Scotland and Australia while he analyzed the zircon to use equipment there. A federal grant is paying for most of the new instrument. After the festivities the object will return to its native Australia with Simon Wilde, professor at Curtin University of Technology in Perth, Western Australia, who made its discovery in 1984. The sample will eventually be put on display at a natural history museum in that country. ___

My favorite things. MJ

I just found an out of print CD of the 1982 Aurex Jazz Festival in Japan. (East World Jazz [J] EWJ 80238) This Cd's kicks ass. The artists are: Clark Terry (tp, flh, vo) J.J. Johnson, Kai Winding Dexter Gordon (ts) Tommy Flanagan (p) Kenny Burrell (g) Richard Davis (b) Roy Haynes (d) Has anyone here heard this recording?

When listening to music, I find my live CD's to be more enjoyable then most of my studio recordings. There is something special of hearing it done live, which you can't always get in a studio.

So, I take it you have bought all the cds you want and are looking for more. I'm not a member there. I have too much already to listen to that I don't get a chance to enjoy.

Has anyone tried http://www.tradersden.org I think everyone from easytree jumped over to there. Right now the server is down do to too many users.

Many more.

I stand corrected.
