I've only watched it all the way through once. As I recall, my biggest problem like others have mentioned here was with the lack of more commentary from musicians. It was nice to see Artie Shaw, but I thought Marsalis, and Crouch were used way too much. With all the greats still alive today, and able to give real color, Burns could have done a much better job on that part. As for the rest of it, I neither love it, nor hate it.

I never plan on buying it. The reason is along the lines of what John Tapscott said. Her music is fine, but it's not for me.

I almost forgot. The answer is....

I had some of the best and worst times during those years. It seemed like I was always in a shit load of trouble, so if I could choose or not choose to re-live those experiences, I would pick the latter. (except the availability of young chicks part)

Thanks Lon, I thought it was just in my ears.

Most definitely THE FOX. Also try EASTWARD HO! IN NEW YORK, and HAROLD IN THE LAND OF JAZZ.

I thought Dr. J was over here from AAJ. At AAJ I believe Dr. J is Judy Schlessinger. (sp?)

Thanks to Chuck Nessa. Charlie Rouse and Red Rodney - Social Call

Tony Jerant I have not seen him post on any of the boards. joefont posts at AAJ, but I'm not sure he has ever posted here. Let's see if I can get the spelling right. Amirbagashells. Might be somewhere, but under a new name.

I'll take choice "A." Very, very dumb...but still pretty hot. A little too bulldogish for me.

I listened to Sonny Rollins Plus Four over the weekend, and have to say it is one of my all time favorites. I've always enjoyed Saxophone Colossus, and Tenor Madness.

Serenity Now...., SERENITY NOW! I find the difference of opinions here most interesting. B) I don't know of this means overated, but I still struggle with Dolphy's Out To Lunch, and Hill's Point Of Departure.

I have had the pleasure of speaking with Dmitry, and soulstation1 on the telephone. Unfortunately, I have still yet to meet anyone fact to face. I hope to change that in the future when I return to NY in the fall. I'm not sure of this counts, but I swear I've seen Out2Lunch, and Weizen messing around with my mailbox. No doubt in search of my latest Ravi Shankar CD delivery. B)

Yeah, don't you remember the Chuck Nessa with the lampshade on his head incident at the 54th annual BNBB picnic? I believe it was a direct result of too many Kazaa's on the rocks. I'll never forget the look on Cuscuna's face.

Welcome Leanne.

Hmmmm...., A Krugman ban.

Paul, you don't even want to hear my opinion on gambling, and hookers.

Exactly.

We have several cities here that have smoking bans. The first was Tempe. I read a story in the newspaper a couple of weeks ago, that said almost a dozen bars have closed since the law was passed. The majority reported drops in sales. The average seemed to be about 17%. I realize that other factors could be responsible for this, but I am sure the ban is the major cause. The reaction to smoking bans always amaze me.

Have a good one Ray. Bizarro Superman is right, he'll never get off the ground with that piece of shit cape.

Damn you, Jim.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but to me total smoking bans in bars and restaurants is ridiculous. If second hand smoke was as bad as they claim, wouldn't smokers be dropping dead before dessert is served? After all, they are getting two doses. The basic principal of toxicity. "Mere exposure does not equate to toxicity; it's the dose that makes the poison" I'm not a smoker, although I do light up a cigar from time to time, and may have a cig every once in a while. I don't care to be eating when someone is smoking, so I choose to sit in a non-smoking area. However, when I drink all bets are off. It should be the choice of the establishment owner, not the fucking PC city council, and Mayors.

Weizen, I think she may enjoy Bob Wilber on this date.
