I won't try to claim any cred on hip hop, but I assume Doo Bop is as bad a hip hop album as it is a jazz album.

Reminds me of a sign I once saw in a Ramen shop: "We will gladly adjust the rigidity of your noodle."

When did William Henderson start playing with Pharoah? He's a great foil, as his style has qualities of both Tyner and Lonnie Liston Smith to my ears.

Congratulations for surviving that one.

While I love Pharoah, I can't argue with that characterization of some of his playing with Trane.

I think at one point Brightman was distributing remaindered Muse CDs after the label folded.

I think any CD player can develop laser alignment issues, but I think it may have been more common in the early days of the technology. I haven't had a dedicated CD player for years. Since I have a setup that includes TV and audio system in one place I use DVD and Blu-Ray players to play my CDs.

Where was Joe Fields? There was a Fields/Brightman connection, wasn't there?

It didn't hurt Reagan.
