Wow, the jazz world is on a role. Another one lost RIP Mr. Hogan

Another shot from the show.

No, I too would love to hear more about it.

Lists? Who need 'em? To me they are always subjective. Thanks for posting this.

How far out have they gone? I remember when they were new wave.

Let's do the opposite of the other thread.

My guess, 300,000 will arive April 1st.

Yes, very true. He did a solo on one number for about 20 minutes. None stop, and at all ends of the resistor, high and low.

Spend your money on a great bow. Cello as with Double Bass the bow is more important than the instrument. Go here and look around. With both the bow and the instrument you need to try a bunch of them before you make a choice. If you can arraign to take his instructor along do it. If you haven't asked you may be surprised at how willing s/he is. Buying a good cello or Double Bass is much tougher than buying a factory manufactered instrument. Talk to symphony members near by and get their recommendations as well. Thanks, Bill. In fact, his cello teacher recommended this place in Studio City and will either be there in person or have her friend there. I think we're in good hands What I found most enlightening is the comment you made about the bow being most important. Tell me....why is that? Very interesting concept. Wow, sorry I missed your question. I'll answer it even though you have already bought the instrument. I've never owned a cello but in the world of Double Basses a great bow sells for $3,000. A "good" Double Bass sells for $12,000. The bow contributes at least as much to the tone as the bass goes. Therefore, the "common wisdom" among bassists it to first get the bow which will improve your tone significantly for "only" $3,000. Then start saving again to get that great bass for $20,000 to $30,000. Or take out a second mortgage. 20 to 30K damn.

Man, this seems to be becoming a daily thing. Almost everyday someone is dropping dead. RIP Ray.

Jimmy Heath will be performing at Lincoln Center this Saturday with Dr. Billy Taylor and Roy Hargroove and others. It's free.

I was there, Mike hit it on the head, and the show was just, OK. Sonny just played and he didn't do any of his patented sounds he is so well know for. Still for a man who will be turning 74 in less then a month, he still plays with full intensity. It’s Sonny Rollins. If he wants to mellow it out or play tunes with 2 or 3 cord chances, he can. He’s done just about everything. But I’ve seen him play better.

Thanks Mike, I will add that info to my paper work.

Thanks. This helps. It has to be the 6-7-60 line up. They were touring Europe at that time

Can anyone tell me if they know, who was in the band? I have a recording from March 1960 live in Paris 3/2/1960. It doesn't list who's in the band.

96. That's a good long life.

I should get thete around 3PM. Should be enough time to get a good seat.

Thank you sir. So is yours.

He will be playing tomorrow at Lincoln Center. The best thing about it, it's free. Sonny Rollins

Here's my daughter. Shw's 4 1/2.

Gorilla Seeks Help Using Sign Language 53 minutes ago Add Top Stories - AP to My Yahoo! By BILEN MESFIN, Associated Press Writer WOODSIDE, Calif. - When Koko the gorilla used the American Sign Language gesture for pain and pointed to her mouth, 12 specialists, including three dentists, sprang into action. AP Photo The result? Her first full medical examination in about 20 years, an extracted tooth and a clean bill of health. About a month ago, Koko, a 300-plus-pound ape who became famous for mastering more than 1,000 signs, began telling her handlers at the Gorilla Foundation in Woodside she was in pain. They quickly constructed a pain chart, offering Koko a scale from one to 10. When Koko started pointing to nine or 10 too often, a dental appointment was made. And because anesthesia would be involved, her handlers used the opportunity to give Koko a head-to-toe exam. "She's quite articulate," volunteer Johnpaul Slater said. "She'll tell us how bad she's feeling, how bad the pain is. It looked like it was time to do something." Twelve specialists — a Stanford cardiologist, three anesthesiologists, three dentists, an ear and throat specialist, two veterinarians, a gastroenterologist and a gynecologist — volunteered to help. "It's not often that we get to work on a celebrity," said Dr. David Liang, assistant professor of medicine at Stanford. "Probably, Koko is less demanding." The team came to Koko on Sunday, bringing portable X-ray and ultrasound machines. They set up shop at her "apartment," which looks like a remodeled box car, complete with a makeshift toilet, television, DVD player and lots of toys. After four hours of tests — including a colonoscopy, gynecological exam, dental work, X-rays, and ultrasounds — doctors pronounced her fit. Koko, who celebrated her 33rd birthday July 4, was due for a checkup. While gorillas in captivity are known to live into their 50s, they are susceptible to heart disease and a thickening of the arteries. Koko and Ndume, her partner of 11 years (he doesn't "speak"), have been trying unsuccessfully to have a baby, and the doctors thought the checkup could let them know whether she had any biological problems preventing it. She doesn't. Her teacher, Francine Patterson, was at her side when the anesthesiologist prepared to put her under in the morning, and apparently Koko asked to meet her specialists. They crowded around her, and Koko, who plays favorites, asked one woman wearing red to come closer. The woman handed her a business card, which Koko promptly ate. Otherwise, Koko was calm, Liang said. The Gorilla Foundation has studied gorilla intelligence by teaching American Sign Language to Koko and another gorilla, Michael, who died in 2000.

Ahamd did put on a great show. The band was very tight.

I would never thought of collecting them. I usually through them out whenever I get them and read through them.

So I went and saw both Jimmy Scott and Ahmad Jamal. Both shows were wonderful. I have to say I did enjoy Jimmy Scott's singing. Did anyone else get to see the shows?

Yes, hardbopjazz, someday you too will pass through the portal. May the bluenote be with you.
