My only knowledge of his playing, is that of the work he did with Django and the Quintet of the Hot Club of France. He had a real long life, and did record a lot after his time with Django. What would be a good session to pick up of his post Django works?

I bought the very first Mini Disc player in 1995. Sony MZ-R2. I loved it. I have a MZ-R30 as well as a unit that is part of my stereo setup. Get one.

I never heard Landslide before, but I love every other session he's done for Blue Note. I voted for Go! as well. It has the whole package. I love Reid Miles' cover desgin and of course the music swings.

One more note, Heath's composition, was very powerful. I would highly recommend this when it gets released.

My wife and daughter. When it comes down to it, that's all that matters.

Yeah, I will go, she's opening for him.

Dave Brubeck will be playing at the Planting Fields on Long Island 8/28/04, along with Keiko Matsui, with whom I am not familiar with. Anyone know anything about her playing? AMG lists her as jazz, but I have never heard anything from her.

That may have been his name. Too much applause the one time the band was introduced for me to hear it clearly. Yes, that's who it was. I was up front and did get to hear his name. Great shows.

I just finished this book The Beak of the Finch: A Story of Evolution in Our Time and now I am on this one. Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory

AAJ board was getting really boring.

Sunday I was at the Carlie Parker festival in NYC. There was a vendor in the park selling CD's. All were live recordings or long OOP session of some know artists, such as McCoy Tyner, Eric Dolphy, Chet Berker, and a number of Blues performers. I asked the vendor if these were legitimate releases where the artists are paid. I never heard of these sessions before. He didn't answer the question, so I didn't buy anything. I would have liked the Dolphy CD. It was 10 dollars there and 15 on line. Anyone ever heard of this label?

I just stumbled across this DVD series. I bought my first one. Dexter Gordon show and a McCoy Tyner set. Anyone one else here have any in this series?

I bet they will try and sell them on ebay. Entertainment - AP Munch's Famous 'Scream,' 'Madonna' Stolen 56 minutes ago By KRISTIAN KAHRS, Associated Press Writer OSLO, Norway - Armed men stormed into an art museum Sunday, threatened staff at gunpoint and stole Edvard Munch's famous paintings "The Scream" and "Madonna (news - web sites)" before the eyes of stunned museum-goers. The thieves yanked the paintings off the walls of Oslo's Munch museum and loaded them into a waiting car outside, said a witness, French radio producer Francois Castang. Police spokeswoman Hilde Walsoe said the two or three armed men threatened a museum employee with a handgun to give them the two paintings, including "The Scream" — Munch's famed depiction of an anguished figure with its head in its hands. "No one has been physically injured, and the suspects escaped in an Audi A6. We are searching for the suspects with all available means," Walsoe told The Associated Press. Many museum visitors panicked and thought they were being attacked by terrorists. "He was wearing a black face mask and something that looked like a gun to force a female security guard down on the floor," visitor Marketa Cajova told NTB public radio. "What's strange is that in this museum, there weren't any means of protection for the paintings, no alarm bell," Castang told France Inter radio. "The paintings were simply attached by wire to the walls," he said. "All you had to do is pull on the painting hard for the cord to break loose — which is what I saw one of the thieves doing." Castang said police arrived on the scene 15 minutes later. Visitors were ushered into the museum's cafeteria. "We don't have all the details on the situation, but we are searching for the suspects in the air and on land," Police Spokesman Kjell Moerk told the public radio network NRK. It was the second time in 10 years that "The Scream" has been stolen. In February 1994, the work was taken and remained missing for nearly three months. Police ultimately recovered the work, which is on fragile paper, undamaged in a hotel in Asgardstrand, about 40 miles south of the capital, Oslo. Three Norwegians were arrested. At the time, investigators said the trio tried to ransom the painting, demanding $1 million from the government. it was never paid. Munch, a Norwegian painter and graphic artist who worked in Germany as well as his home country, developed an emotionally charged style that was of great importance in the birth of the 20th century Expressionist movement. He painted "The Scream" in 1893, as part of his "Frieze of Life" series, in which sickness, death, anxiety, and love are central themes. He died in 1944 at the age of 81. The National Art Museum owns 58 paintings by Munch.

Tommy Flangagan is no longer with us.

How about Frank Wess, Frank Morgan; Jackie McLean; Frank Foster; Phil Woods. Reece is still alive, but I don't think he is playing.

Thanks, I'll have to keep checking for the schedules.

Dude, she seems like a catch. Tell her you want to meet mom and dad.

What we are doing to our planet it is scary when you think about it,. I am living on Long Island, NY, and a few blocks from the water. About two weeks ago, maybe three, two fishermen caught seahorses and some saltwater angelfish in their nets. These are Caribbean fish all the way up north. Hopefully what damage we've caused to our planet can be reversed. Ani't no where else to go, and if there was some other place, I bet we fuck it up too.

Is there a Jazzmobile where you live? For those that don't know, the Jazzmobile bring free jazz to neighborhoods all over the US and some countries in Europe.

Clark Terry will be performing at Grant's Tomb next Wednesday. It is free. jazzmobile

I am going to be there on busniess and thought about checking out some jazz at night. Any good jazz clubs?

No, I couldn't make it Saturday. I did see the Heath Brothers at Lincoln center over the weekend.

He will debut a new piece of music which he was commissioned to write called, “The Bird is the Word”. I believe Frank Morgan will be at the Sunday show.

I've gone and seen him a number of times since 1996, about 8 times. The set doesn't stray much from each other, still great to go and see them. Just one time there was a third set at the VV in Oct 1997. They took requests and tore the house down. They played almost all Soul-Jazz. I remeber two of the tunes that night, One Cylinder, and Everything I play is Funky. That was the best F*$#en show I ever seen. He also had Idris Muhammand on drums that night. Lou just played the jazzmobile 2 weeks ago here in NYC. I couldn't get out of work to go. This time he played with an acoustic lineup, no organ. That would have been nice to see that.
