All the best to you on your Birthday!

Happy Birthday to a member who listens to some interesting music!

Roscoe Holcomb Rooster Cogburn James Coburn

Truer words have never been spoken Magic was my favorite player. Bill Russell probably was my second favorite. Players play in their own eras, & I could never see the point of trying to compare players from different eras. Just my opinion.

Happy Birthday, Scott!

Pan Hermes Dionysus

Trixie Ethel Rhoda

Horace Silver Quintet: Silver's Serenade Andrew Hill: Smokestack Serge Chaloff: Blue Serge Figured I'd grab these while the gettin' was good. Didn't have the first two & picked up the third for the extra track.

Sting(ky) Bono Madonna

Cecil Taylor may not have released a new recording in the past year, but he did perform live. The title of the awards reads: "honoring excellence in music-making and music documentation". Music making includes more than doing recordings. But as Chris has noted, this stuff probably only means something to "jazz journalists" - who are becoming more and more irrelevant.

I.P. Freely Ace Frehley The Jack of Hearts

Horace Silver Quintet: The Stylings of Silver (BN/King Japan)

Billy Bob Jimmy Ray Tommy Joe

Got into the low 90's here today. Glad that new air conditioner arrived when it did. Unfortunately for Tom, USPS vehicles don't have air conditioning - at least not in New York.

Happy Birthday!

How can you list 5 "Pianists of the Year" and exclude Cecil?

Just Hot. Not Texas or Arizona hot, but too hot for here.

Great book. Also try Motherless Brooklyn. I enjoyed Motherless Brooklyn a lot. Haven't read anything else of his since then, but I probably should.

Harvey Kurtzman William Gaines Will Elder

Gerry Cooney Bowie Kuhn James Coburn Well, we had the same starting point - then went elsewhere. I defer to you, sir. Gerry Cooney The Ragin' Cajun MADD
