It isn't good writing, and lord knows I don't want to hear that cd. . . but sometimes her beauty is worth mentioning twice. . . . If I were single, I'd probably have a poster up on a wall (and put my old Shelia E poster up)!

Great label, own a few. Most of the ones I might get, I have the material on other labels. I have a few Lizzie Miles Documents though. There, some words.

Heck Kay BURNS on broadcasts with Miles from the early fifties. . . But I tell you I really don't dig the Heath-Kay rhythm section much at all as a steady diet. It keeps me from listening to a LOT of MJQ. Just a personal thing. . . .As a drummer. . . or ex-drummer. . . .

Thanks, I ordered a cheap Concord two cd collection of two of her earlier albums and I'll check those out. . . . The video footage on this dvd from 2004 is really something!

Okay, I admit, I know NOTHING about Tania Maria's music. . . what little I remember hearing years ago didn't make me explore her work. However, on the very last track of the concert portion of the "Ed Motta Em DVD" . . . he accompanies Tania Maria with vocals (and sound effects) as she sings and plays electric piano. I've never heard anything else quite like it except maybe a few things by Airto vocally, and it is EXCELLENT percussive piano. I really really really dig it. . . it's a composition introduced as "Funky Tamborin." It's all just "scat"--rhythmic vocalizing along with the piano playing, and it's Brazilian in that way that Brazil has of beat and timing, and it's phenomenal. Okay. . .anyone. . . is this an anamoly, something strange, not like her regular work? Anything else like this at all out there by her?

SS, no it has not been to my knowledge!

I think he gave it to a hot mamma.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4705117.stm BBC NEWS London attackers 'meant to kill' The people behind the latest attacks in London meant to kill, the head of the Metropolitan Police has said. But Sir Ian Blair said evidence left at the scenes could be very helpful to police and added "the intention of the terrorists has failed". Attempts were made to set off explosives at four locations, including three Tube stations and on one bus. Sir Ian said the ambulance service had not taken anyone to hospital after the blasts, which were almost simultaneous. Mayor Ken Livingstone praised the emergency services and said the people of London would "get through this". 'Unexploded' devices Sir Ian said there was a "resonance" with the bomb attacks which killed 56 people two weeks ago, but that it was too early to draw any conclusions about whether they were linked. HAVE YOUR SAY The streets are all taped off and there are police everywhere Lucinda, London Police forensic experts are examining the scenes, at Tube stations in Oval, Warren Street and Shepherd's Bush, and on a bus in Shoreditch, east London. He said important information could be recovered. "From what I understand, some of the devices remain unexploded," he said. The Met commissioner warned against "smearing" any particular community with the blame for Thursday's attacks. "These are criminal acts and we are in pursuit of a set of criminals," he said. 'Difficult day' He said it had been "another difficult day" for Londoners, but that the city was already "back to business". Ken Livingstone said: "It is not surprising that we have had another attempt to take life rapidly after the first attacks. "Those people whose memories stretch back to the 70s, 80s and 90s will remember there were horrifying bombing campaigns in London. We got through that and we'll get through this." Mr Livingstone backed a police appeal for information on who may have been behind the attacks. He said religious leaders should remind their congregations of the immorality of what had happened and that people should come forward even if the was only "a remote possibility" that they could help catch those to blame. Police cordons Witnesses heard bangs and saw abandoned rucksacks at the sites of the incidents at Warren Street and Oval tube stations as well as the Number 26 bus, which was travelling from Waterloo towards Hackney and had just entered Hackney Road. There was an attempt to cause an explosion at Shepherd's Bush Hammersmith and City line, police said. Police told reporters that a man had threatened to blow himself up and then ran off. At Warren Street and Oval a man was seen running away from the scene. On the bus, there were no injuries and the bus suffered no structural damage. Large areas around all four sites were cordoned off. Tests for chemical, biological and radiological weapons proved negative. One person was injured at Warren Street. Chemical analysis BBC security correspondent Mark Urban said initial indications were that the devices were put together in a way very similar to those used two weeks ago. He said there were suggestions that the rucksacks themselves, as well as the choice of three tube trains and one bus as targets, all suggested a similar method of attacks. There was also speculation that the devices were so similar to those used two weeks ago that they may even have been part of the same batch. There will need to be detailed chemical analysis of the substance that did not detonate, in order to prove that conclusively that it was indeed explosive, he said. The investigation will centre on why the devices failed to detonate properly, what can be learned from them and what has become of the men seen fleeing from the scene of the different attempts, our correspondent added.

Like Eric, I'm not really that concerned about artwork; I'd rather have the original, but then again there are some originals that I could have done a better job originally on. . . . I actually think that the 32jazz cover philosophy may have been a good move. . . They are very disctinct, different from the other series, and they stood out. And the prices often made them then slip into a sales basket. . . .

I've been getting each of the RVGs not because I have a fetish, but because they've become the definitive version for me, and I've been able to get every one cheap one way or another. . . . I prefer them to other TOCJ and domestic lines. . . it's just me I guess and my system. I'm looking forward to the Hancock because I think it's my favorite Hancock of all time with only "Speak Like a Child" as a serious contender.

Best thing would be to spend each day of your year campaigning to make "jazz" a music genre that people were interested and excited about and willing to spend lots of entertainment dollars on in every sense: live performances, television productions, contemporary recordings, reissues, histories. . . . THEN there will be a demand for quality reissues and wishes will be considered and probably filled. . . . Go ahead. It's not my turn THIS decade. . . seems like that's how I spend a good part of the 'nineties!

Yes, that's it. Great guitar, and other moments too.

Actually, my fantasy was to start two record labels for contemporary recordings. . . . Eclypse Records, and Equinox Records. On the first dozen releases or so I'd have a stipulation that the Mingus tune be one performance on Eclypse Records, and the Coltrane tune be one performance on Equinox Records. Just a pipe dream!

I only have one of their releases (a Cassandra Wilson) and must say I am a fan of their remastering!

Yup. I can't count. I used to have two cdrs of this from the lp set, so I get confused that way easily. ONE more reason to get it.

You know I never even had a blonde girlfriend, and I'm a huge fan of brunettes, but I had a crush on Clea ever since she saved Dr. Strange's butt from Dormamu. . . .

Hmmmm. . . you definitely HAVE TO GET the "Autobiography" sessions two cd set on Verve. This will take care of about half the Mosaic, and have a few extra bits as well I think. And get the two digipak Deccas that are out, "I Love Jazz" and "Satchmo Serenades." Contain stuff on the Mosaic, and stuff not on the Mosaic, but good to have, and both are nice reissues in great sound.

Like a catepillar he became a butterfly, and flits about occasionally landing on a thread-flower, though not much of late.

Yes, I think Cadence is the only US distributor, and a quick comparison made it the cheapest route I saw. . . This is one fine release! Don, thanks for the title. . . it sounded familiar and I have it in my stacks; haven't listened to it in a while! I have "A Flower is a Lovesome Thing" as well, though when I listen to it I get fatigue. . . maybe it's just me and my system but the sound is really edgy and brittle. . . . Great music though. In my dreamworld this stuff has as much unissued extra stuff in the can and becomes a Mosaic Select!

Many many more happy ones!

What's the title of that one Don? Also: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=20786

They sound that way on all the versions I've heard. . . I'd say yes, I think it is related to trying to capture the overall dynamics of the music without distortion.

Amen Don! Yeah, I like Davies' playing as well on other things I've heard. Thanks for weighing in about this latest disc. I think that Jazz Oracle is among the best labels. I really like the Purvis and Pollacks mentioined above, and the Louisian Rhtyhm Kings, the two Sam Mannings, the Arkansas Shout, Dallas Rhythm, the Cliff Jackson, the Fess Williams, the Dorsey Bros. . . . If you have an interest in early jazz and hot dance, these are great releases. Liner notes like nobody else!

Graham Collier. . . maybe "Songs for my Father" . . . .
