  1. Dinwiddie has a great feature on one of the songs they did at Woodstock that didn't make the original film. I can't remember whether it's on the extra features of Woodstock or in Murray Lerner's Woodstock Diary DVD.
  2. John, would you say most of Africa skipped CDs altogether and went straight from cassettes to digital files on phones? Do bootleggers sell massive mp3 collections on CD or DVD ROM in markets, like in Mexico?
  3. I'd vote to keep the penny in exchange for single-payer healthcare.
  4. Well, chitterlings/chitlin being a kind of iconic soul food, popular with southern as well as northern urban black people, the name was attached to bookings at southern black venues as well as northern ghetto venues, places that would normally have an all or mostly black audience. You da woman.
  5. Looks like you missed the subtitle: ...that never recorded
  6. I was at this show at Hot House that somebody else wrote up: "the New Horizon Ensemble consisting of saxophonist and leader Ernest Dawkins, trumpeter Maurice Brown, trombonist Steve Berry, bassist Darius Savage, and drummer Isaiah Spensor. The six special guests were an even bigger surprise: Roscoe Mitchell, Ari Brown, an unidentified musician on saxophones, Dee Alexander and Taalib Din Zayid on vocals, and a second bassist, unidentified." http://users.rcn.com/jazzinfo/1105/27thChicago.html I can't remember, but maybe Bankhead was the second bassist? I've also seen Dee Alexander with Douglas Ewart's ensemble. The highlight of one of the festival jams at the Record Mart was Fred Anderson's trio (Aoki & Drake) plus Dawkins, Ari Brown and Malachi Thompson.
  7. They left out belly pork. Here's a rant I wrote about egg whites: http://petercherches.blogspot.com/2006/11/throw-off-yolk-of-idiocy.html
  8. I have no idea either. I'd guess anywhere from 10 to 50 shows a year for 40 years. My friend Don can give you an exact count though. He keeps a spreadsheet of every show he's seen with all sidemen. He isn't an auditor for nothing.
  9. I don't think this will "count": http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/
  10. Ornette, Al McDowell, Tony Falanga, Denardo and Bill Frisell, at Ornette's Meltdown at Southbank Centre, London. Frisell worked perfectly in the fabric of that sound. Another interesting unrecorded Ornette lineup: Global Expression Project: Ornette Coleman Trio with Charnett Moffett and Denardo Coleman, with special guests Badal Roy, Sultan Khan and Probaker Karaker Henry Threadgill's Society Situation Dance Band, North Sea Festival 1997 I've seen Mark Helias's Open Loose with both Eskelin & Malaby on tenor--I don't believe this two tenor lineup recorded. Dizzy & Mingus as special guests with Sonny Rollins
  11. I'd say if the link route works, then the user is doing nothing shady. Maybe the cookie issue is a gray area, but if a site really wanted to control that I assume they could have a database with view count and only serve articles with a registered login.
  12. I like the was the thread title shows in the sidebar: how trojan condoms are made by alocispepraluger102
  13. James Fenimore Cooper George Fenneman Richard Feynman
  14. Yeah, the only thing better would be not getting it at all.
  15. I heard Azar at the Jazz Standard recently, with an excellent group (Nicholas Payton, Benito Gonzalez, Essiet Essiet, Tain Watts). They were recording. Here's Nate Chinen's review: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/16/arts/music/azar-lawrence-quintet-at-jazz-standard-review.html?_r=1 You mean at a party or something with Elvis Costello among others?
  16. I believe Wall Street Journal has been subscription-only since they went online.
  17. Fred Sanford Redd Foxx Peter Wolf
  18. I once worked with a guy named Tittman. Jazzman Poetry Man Phoebe Snow
  19. I believe if you get to articles via certain external links it's not tracked in your count. My most trusted source for U.S. political news is the Guardian's online U.S. edition. They're not vested in maintaining the status quo here the way the Times has always been.
  20. Tatum O'Neill Johnny O'Neal Art Tatum
  21. Judy Garland Lorna Luft Lorne Michaels
  22. Millie Small The Notorious B.I.G. Big Mama Thornton
  23. A candidate for the worst jazz album I ever owned. I think I paid a buck and listened once. On the other hand, Miles' Doo Bop ain't much better.
  24. Stafford Repp Adam West Burt Ward
  25. Buster Brown Fannie Mae Newt Gingrich
