I learnt another one yesterday. It's called "A Courtesy Flush". This made me laugh. Bassically it when you go into the restroom at work and someone is stinking up the joint, he'll flush to clear the air.

On Long Island where I live, the deer have gotten so use to people feeding them that they run up to your car in some areas. Each spring along the shore line the county where I live post signs on how many deer were hit during the winter as a result of people feeding them. This winter the number was 29. There was also a sign saying 25 cars were totalled because of this. I've seen them while driving. They look at you from the side of the road, wondering if you're going to stop and give them food. 7 years ago while driving through Montana I almost his a buffalo. Just missed it. They don't move when they see you. The buffalo was anout the size of the car I was in. I'm pretty sure I would have lost if I hit him.

Thanks Alejo. This is the one.

Looking for a old thread from 1 or 2 months back with a link to a Horace Silver interview. Anyone know where it is buried? It talked about his release of Rockin' With Rachmaninoff, and his new album coming out this spring. Thanks.

Too bad along with the post counter there can't be a mintues or how many times visiting counter.

I like it Jim. Enough said.

I guess this was the place.

I can also see Horace Silver as being identifiable, I can't say the same for Mobley and Shorter. Silver always had that funk in his melodies right from the beginning. He's the true Funkateer. He's the funkmister. Now Monk was hearing shit in his melodies that only pure geniuses understand. The same can be said of Coltrane’s compositions. They're still trying to figure out Coltrane’s musical theories. Monk was about 30 years ahead of his time. Today his music doesn't sound so unconventional, it sound just right.

If that's the case, tuba player and anyone playing large instruments should be able to sure since they require more space. I don't think they will win.

I'm gonna be real broke. I have the Tyner stuff on CD's or LP's. Unless there is something else added that wasn't out there before, I'll pass on that one. Gonna want the Dexter, Mulligan, Farlow, and Farmer/Golson. I have to start buttering up the wife. "Your hair looks lovely." "Did you lose some weight?"

All the live stuff from 1958 his European tour smokes. The line up is the Moanin' group. Morga, Golson, Timmons and Merritt. Olympia Concert Paris 1958 1958: Paris Olympia Live in Holland (1958) Au Club Saint-Germain, Vols. 1-3

Does Columbia records still have current jazz line up of current artists? Wynton's no longer on the label. True jazz isn't going to sell 2 million copies of a record, but there is still an audience that buys this style of music.

He tops my list. This guy is so white bread, no spice or anything. His music is so boring that it could make someone on speed fall asleep. I only wish he wouldn't be listed in the jazz section. But makes money doing what he does. Who can figure out the minds of the feeble music audience?

Whenever I hear a Monk composition play by someone, I right away knows it’s a Monk tune. I can't think of anyone else that can be identified so easily. Can you think of anyone else?

I guess it was mainly a rock club, i can understand why Miles played there. It was during electric fusion phase.

I don't want but the whole cartridge, just the needle. I don't use my turntable that much anymore, but for the times I do, I want to have a new needle.

I remember joining the Blue Note board, and 5 days later it was down to 5 categories and then nothing.

I guess we need to get a life.

I'm seriously going to have to give Soul Station a harder listen. It seems to be the favorite of most people. I had it thrid on my list.

How many times are you flipping through the board each day.

Yeah, and how sad. If there was money in this art, there would be mroe cats recording or signed to record.

I liked the Joe Pass sessions that were recorded there.

I'm a completists for Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Horace Silver, Lee Morgan, Hank Mobley just to name a few. Whenever I see a session either as a leader or as a sidemen for one of these guy, I have to have it. The wife doesn't understand that though.

I thought the Turnaround would get some votes. The title track is a a catchy number.

Miles, then Coltrane.
