  1. Any idea what it will probably sell for?
  2. Back in its day I tape a bounce of themto video. I tried to watch them tonight. The years have not been kind to the videos. Wondering if somewhere out there I could find them again.
  3. Would anyone know if any of the shows are on DVD? They use to have some jazz artists on that show. It was in the 70's and early 80's on PBS.
  4. Wow, those are stong winds.
  5. What's your thoughts? After seeing him and his band last week, I realized how great a composer he is. My library had 3 CD's of his. I took them out. Wow, he impresses me. I will start collecting all I can from him. This is someone still in his prime.
  6. What a great script for a sci-fi B movie. Giant mutant ant colony found in Australia Thu Aug 12, 4:55 AM ET Add Science - AFP to My Yahoo! MELBOURNE, Australia (AFP) - A huge ant colony measuring 100 kilometres (62 miles) across has been found under the southern Australian city of Melbourne, scientists said. Missed Tech Tuesday? The best gadgets to help students through the year, from new phones to gizmos for locking down your stuff. Monash University researcher Elissa Suhr said the supercolony of Argentine ants was threatening native biodiversity in Australia's second largest city. Suhr said the introduced pest's natural aggression kept numbers under control in its native country but the genetic make-up of the ants found in Australia had mutated allowing them to cooperate to build the supercolony. "In Argentina, their native homeland, ant colonies span tens of metres, are genetically diverse and highly aggressive towards one another," Suhr said. "So population numbers never explode and they are no threat to other plants and animals. "When they arrived in Australia, a change in their structure occurred, changing their behaviour so that they are not aggressive towards one another. This has resulted in the colonies becoming one supercolony." Suhr said the Argentine ants killed native ants and the insect life they normally preyed upon, posing a major threat to biodiversity. She said Argentine ants were ranked among the world's 100 worst animal invaders and had found an ideal habitat in the Mediterranean
  7. Yet another. RIP Tony. I remember him on the Tonight Show.
  8. Sonny on a bad day is still better then most tenor players.
  9. He was and still is my favorite singer. I will try and watch this. Thanks for the spam.
  10. Wow, the jazz world is on a role. Another one lost RIP Mr. Hogan
  11. Another shot from the show.
  12. No, I too would love to hear more about it.
  13. Lists? Who need 'em? To me they are always subjective. Thanks for posting this.
  14. How far out have they gone? I remember when they were new wave.
  15. Let's do the opposite of the other thread.
  16. My guess, 300,000 will arive April 1st.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. Man, this seems to be becoming a daily thing. Almost everyday someone is dropping dead. RIP Ray.
  20. Jimmy Heath will be performing at Lincoln Center this Saturday with Dr. Billy Taylor and Roy Hargroove and others. It's free.
  21. 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.
  22. Thanks Mike, I will add that info to my paper work.
  23. Thanks. This helps. It has to be the 6-7-60 line up. They were touring Europe at that time
  24. 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.
  25. 96. That's a good long life.
