Up! Let's make the biggest thread.

Besides the What are you listening to now thread, what is the largest thread?

Wow, all the greats are ebbing near the other world. Sad to hear that about Parlan.

yet another

Tourists are causing a lot of anxiety — and are costing money — to a tiny village where signs keep disappearing. What do the signs read? "Welcome to Fucking, Austria." Pronounced "fooking," the little hamlet of Fucking is named after the man who founded the village in the 6th century. His name? Focko. The town sign has been stolen seven times in the last few months. With signs costing several hundred dollars apiece, much of the tiny town’s budget is being spent replacing the signs, says Siegfried Hoeppel, the Mayor of Fucking. He went on to express his hope that further thefts will be avoided through the use of increased concrete and . . . bigger screws. The second sign carries the hilarity even further: "Bitte — nicht so schnell!" is German for "Please — not so fast!" (Apparently that sign is a commonplace reminder to keep automotive speeds down to protect children, but the juxtaposition in this case is particularly delicious.)

We seem to always talk about the men, which yes, makes up the bulk of jazz musicians, but what about the woman? Most woman jazz musicians that have left their mark were singers. What about the ones that played instruments? Mary Lou Williams. Art Blakey said she taugh him stuff when he played with her. Jutta Hipp. Well she didn't record much, but she played a mean piano. Any others to add to the list?

I am down-loading this showfrom http://sharingthegroove.org. It should be nice to hear some live Andrew Hill. Has anyone here down-loaded it yet?

Tell the chicken a command, and he'll do it. http://www.subservientchicken.com/

If you read the webpage, it was never ment to be released. In a statement, Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide said the unapproved and unofficial video clip was leaked April 1 and transmitted by e-mail around the world. The company said the ad wasn't sanctioned by Ogilvy or Ford. “Both companies find this unofficial advertisement totally unacceptable and reprehensible,” the statement said. “The action in the video clip was totally computer-generated, and we would like to assure you that no animal was harmed in its making.”

Now where is this Sportka sold? I guess just in Europe. The commercial never made to any market. If it did I think many would have something to say against it. Now, I wonder if Ford will keep the ad agency that did this?

The guy was on the news last night. I believe Fox News. He had the dress with him. Didn't catch it, only saw the end. Don't know if he put it on again.

The pigeon one was fuuny too, but the cat one was the best. This could never be shown on the air here in the US. Too many people would be up in arms.

Pretty funny? Hum? http://snopes.com/photos/commercials/sportka.asp

Wow, sad to hear he is drinking too much. I think a lot of these older guys hate that they still have to play live to survive. That the impression I got when I saw Jimmy Smith.

Anyone know what Johnny Griffin has been up to lately? I would like to see him live. Does he still play?

Has anyone here heard his recording? I'm not that too familiar with Ayler stuff. Wonder if this is a good recording to get.

More by Gene Ludwig.

This bidding is well over 600 thousand. I guess his wife will soon want her dress back. Whomever placed that high bid better hope the seller and ebay can take a joke. No way can it be a real bid.

1) Billy, don't be a hero. Played it almost everyday. 2) Everyday people would be second.

Mitchell's playing is so clean on this live record. He is so unrated as a trumpet player in my opinion.

At the ver end of the CD, there is a taste of Cool Eyes. I thought Rudy just faded out. Now I think the group went in to that number next. I have to check the Blue Note discography to see if Coll eyes follows The Theme which is the last tune on the album.

Verve's Norah Jones.

How bad can these 2 other tracks be? Cuscuna, usually doesn't release anything that is sub par. He follows Lion’s approach when releasing recodings. The Blue Note discography list a bunch of other tunes recorded those 2 nights in May 1961. All listed as rejected. Now I have to track down a copy of this . The TOCJ is great. I find the band tight start to finish.

How do they get away with doing that? It's all copy written material.

I plan on going to the McLean, Moncur and Hutcherson show. Regardless of how good Moncur and McClean's chops are. It will probable be the last time to see all 3 together.
