I'm not much of a downloading type of guy, but yes this is a very nice Q album, used to be available in print from Verve!

Okay singlemost, for me. . . wow. . . you ask some difficult questions sometimes Dan. . . . I'm gonna say Monk, because it is HARD to have that distinctive a sound on the piano!

Good. Let's buy 'em then! I'm just starting to collect both Marsh and Albany slowly so this seems a good target. . . .

I don't believe it was mentioned in THIS thread where Warne's son has made a plea for us NOT TO BUY another release or two. Begs a question. . . . http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...&hl=warne+marsh

Hodges, Nance, Carney. MONK. Pee Wee.

Well I think this and Idol are apples and oranges, and maybe the talent level overall is higher here, but a lot of these folks are not very young amateurs either! Jay London was my favorite, and yes Tammy Pescatelli (sp?) was easy on the eyes, Alonzo is a very good writer, and I guess I want him to win this time, though Gary Gullman WAS funny this final episode, I don't really like him personally but he WAS funny this time. I thought Cory Holman (sp?) was also an entertaining talent.

I like Wood's fluteplaying quite a bit, his tenor I had to be in the mood for. I actually have quite a bit, maybe fifty minutes of OTHER material of Jimi with Steve and/or Chris on "boots". . . a nice combination; Jimi is recorded as saying something to the effect that he would love to have Steve Winwood in his band at any time! Steve now has a flute and reed player in his band who is pretty darned good.

Those damned paint fumes!

I got a good laugh out of this one! And I NEEDED it! B-)

Well, it's fair if you are under contract to another label and get the gig anyway!

Off the top of my head I would say they are on the Candid cds.

Not yet?

That is a nice idea about Winwood and Santana. I was a Traffic fan in Swaziland, first heard them on the BBC and Radio Lorenco Marques and I kept on being a Traffic fan up through "When the Eagle Flies" with varying degrees of enthusiasm. I really like Winwood: he always seemed able to project a sincerity about the music and make some emotional connection. I get the feeling he's a nice bloke, and he's quite a musician. I love his organ sound: I can identify it, he really has a distinctive sound. He also plays good piano, again with a style his own. And he can play guitar too, he really can (saw him recently on Austin City Limits and he KILLED on guitar on Dear Mr. Fantasy). I liked the band with Mason in it, there was another voice, another composer, another musician. Welcome to the Canteen I've dug out a few times recently and like it; good ole Rebop Kwaku Bah. . . it's interesting to play Canteen and follow it up with the Randy Weston lp that he appears on! (That Weston is very percussive!) In a way John Barleycorn (which started off as a Winwood solo project) is the very best. . . it just works from start to finish. . . Will be interesting to see how many other Traffic fans are out there. In the last year I bought some cheap copies of John Barleycorn, Welcome to the Canteen and Last Exit. . . . Was fun to hear them again.

I'm not a downloader. Don't have the right type of burner at home. I have bought three copies of this so far though!

Hmmm. . . I don't think I've ever heard this one. With that Chicago R-Section it looks quite good!

I'm not going to be able to make it to San Anton, but looks as if these will be good shows!

Yes, Anthony Davis DID do an opera about Malcolm.

Wow! Can't wait for my copy to arrive!

Yes, I know he fits better elsewhere. I'm wondering why Joe had him here to be honest; a dozen other drummers would have seemed a better fit to me, but . . .

I know, but it's very complicated, and it's like a dirty little secret no one wants to talk about that I would shout off the mountaintops if my paranoid (clinically, and yet with good reason at other times) wife would let me! If we don't change our energy useage and our munitions building and peddling we might as well start looking for another planet to use up, fast.

I'm still reading Richard J. Barnet's "Roots of War". . . . It's an amazingly thought provoking book. I've six others of his lined up after this, hoping I can make it through a few more with impetus. I keep thinking how we have been involved in one war or another, tiny or fullblown, since WWII and how our entire culture seems to be driven by the war business. ARGH!

Frog Records strikes again! B-)

I don't know what to say. . . "Bounce" bounced in to my player and then out. . . just sort of a "nothing to distinguish it" date for me.

Hope it's better than "Bounce!"
