Snap!

Here it goes. First off, thanks Nate for the BFT. At first listen some of the tracks seemed really out there, but I'm starting to come around. All in all a really solid cd, it's safe to say it may have inspired a few purchaces. Of course, I need to find out who the hell these people are. As usual I give you my weak guesses and as little discussion on the music as any one person can give. 1. Kind of had a folk music type feel to it. Since I am almost completely ignorant of violin/fiddle in jazz I have no choice but to say, I donno. I didn't really care much for the bass clarinet, if that was what it was. 2. Some heavy hands on the piano. Rhapsody in Blue??? Naahhh.... 3. The piano made me think, "hey that's the player from track 2", but it's not. This is a real nice piece of work, no idea of the tune or the players, but I likey. 4. Oh man, I liked this one. Real hot playing. When the saxes are all together it almost sounds like the Basie reed section. Of course it's not, but the sound was that sweet. 5. This one got better as things moved along. The piano was the standout for me. 6. Somewhat interesting, West Coast influence??? 7. Liked this one plenty! I hear a touch of Hawk in the player, so it can't be bad. I'd like to know this one for sure. 8. Real, and I do mean, real sweet. Is it Alone Together? Evans with??? 9. Easy to dig this one. Would it kill them to throw a piano in the mix? Just kidding, it's fine as is, look forward to knowing it. 10. No clue and I would normally pass on a track like this, but for one reason or another it grabbed me. The piano was hot and the sax was absolutely ripping it up, but I didn't care for the bass solo work all that much. Is that wrong? 11. Later Red Garland, or later Red Garlands? Honestly I have no clue, a pleasant tune though. 12. I really liked this one, a real Monkish feel to it. 13. Another nice one, KG, yes? KG, no? 14. The tune, what is the name of this tune??

BLASPHEMER!!!!!!

Is that what I think it is? An ice cream sandwich? Lucky little bastard! B)

My thoughts exactly. I can't wait until they get to all that zany shit from 1999.

Agree. It would have been worth the money to leave it as it was.

Mine showed up late and can be found in the pool.

I've never used peanut oil, of course I've never fried chicken before either. Olive oil is king with me.

This is regional entertainment, for me.

Does anyone have this book? If so, would it be possible to get copies of the section on Count Basie? This book I'm looking for informational pieces to add for the Basie website. Thanks in advance. B)

Word.

I need a beer. B)

102!

I go away for one week and Tony is up to 97 posts? B)

What's going on here?
