Pops Fats Willie the Lion Jackson T Nat T-Bone Grateful Dead lots of solo piano from Tatum, Jarrett, Beethoven, Hines, Satie, my friend Mel Winters, various people playing the D'Imperio Wellington, etc. . . . Others too, but these are proven.

I've downloaded the third of the download series. An early Keith Godchaux show, his fifth. NICE! I have #30 and want to get #35 and #36 in the near future. I'm trying to limit my Picks to the pre-1977 shows and to post 1970, my main interest in the band, and that will serve me til I corrall all those Picks. I'm less interested in dates after 1976, have zilch interest in the band after the Godchaux's really.

He posted today! Clem is back!

Clem! Welcome back.

Many more happy ones!

Good score Jim! I didn't pay much more for them when I preordered them from cduniverse. A steal for what you get!

I personally don't think of the Satie as "picnic music" in any way, even in comparison to those brood-meisterworks. It's deeper than the surface would seem, not unlike some of the jazz music we love, and I just thought I'd throw it into the mix as I honestly don't feel it will disappoint.

It answered about 40% of the questions that I have about Ra! That's far more than expected! A very good book.

Okay. . . I implied the "in the friggin' extreme" part. But I think that he might dig them considering the music he does dig.

Today I listened to most of Dick's Picks Vol. 7. Anohter good one!

Hope you have a good one Bob. "Greyfolded" is very intriguing isn't it?

Not really dark or brooding, but I think you might really enjoy Satie's piano pieces. I find them fascinating.

I've got an old lp copy of this. Rolf has the cd lp facimile from Japan. Not really one of the great Savoy lps, in my opinion.

Ugh. . . I can still remember the sound of the Laserlights. . . the Music and Arts sound much better. . . I'd go with those.

I'm rereading "Lonesome Traveler" by Jack Kerouac, after reading through the recent "Bob Dylan Scrapbook."

Harold, I barely remember that book, time for me to reread it soon as well. Great cover! (Never saw THAT cover before!)

The one I was listening to is 12:40.

That Condon lp is a favorite!

Alan, don't hesitate, this is really great stuff from this really great trio.

I think they've had releases from other artists. But they like to appropriate Columbia/Sony stuff. Their "It's About that Time" is the same as Sony's "Juan-les-Pins 1969" (and the Sony was out way first).

I dug out a ten cd "tree" that I have that has the Half Note, Penthouse and so much more and listened to some of the Half Note material. My copy of the new Impulse STILL has not arrived. That really is a nice version of Afro Blue from the Half Note. . . nice Tyner.

Thanks Kevin and MBL. . . . As for the news. . .

You know, oddly enough the last few times I've tried to listen to Sonny Clark sessions I just didn't connect to them and took them off. Whereas I've been really blown away for like the fiftieth time by Bud Powell recording, and I recntly put on about six Wynton Kelly sideman appearances because Wynton was on there. . . . I'll get back iin to Sonny but I don't feel the SPARK right now. This happens to me sometimes.

Hmmmm. . . Chuck sure doesn't have the politics of a millionaire.
