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.

I'm listening to the TOCJ version. I haven't heard the bonus tracks yet. The tracks from the orininal release are great for a live performance. Blue Mitchell is on the top of his game.

This lineup was together for a number of years, which is a feat in itself for a jazz group.

April 26th is coming, so I'll list the album that I'd like to discuss. It will be Horace Silver's Doin' the Thing. Recorded live at The Village Gate, NYC on May 19,20 1961. A now defunct Night Club. I've been there, and it was a great sounding club, anywhere you sat. I saw Phil Woods and Jon Hendricks. Line up, Horace Silver- Piano Blue Mitchell- Trumpet Junior Cook- Tenor Sax Gene Taylor- Bass Roy Brooks- Drums Tracks 1) Filthy McNasty 2) Doin' the Thing 3) Kiss Me Kate 4) The Gringo 5) The Theme (Cool Eyes)

Is she just another pretty face, or can she play? There was a big display at Borders in the jazz section for This Girl's Got to Play. I was tempted to buy it. Anyone have any thought on the CD or her guitar playing?

Here's who will be playing with Horace Silver in his up coming shows. Horace Silver, piano Michael Mossman, trumpet Eric Alexander, tenor sax Ray McMorrin, tenor sax Steve Davis, trombone Conrad Herwig, trombone Jon Weber, bass Joe Farnsworth, drums

They will.

That's shit on shit.

Kind of Blue was the first CD I lent him. I thought of playing a joke by giving him Unit Structures. But I might set him back. I lent him Lou Donaldson's Lou Takes Off. Nice record to keep the interest.

From what someone has told me, Jackie is feeling pretty good. I'm not too sure where he heard this. I would love to see vintage McLean.

How many musicians here write music they hear in their sleep? I always have melodies come to me while I'm sleeping. The hard part then, is getting up and writing down melodies down so I don't forget them by morning. Anyone else have music come to them in their sleep?

To me, I can hardly hear any distortion.

Not sure what he listens to outside of jazz.

Do any of the other guitar players here listen to mostly other guitar players, or do you find yourself listening to other instruments? I find I listen to more horn players then guitar players. It also effected my playing by listening to horn players.
