I have some live material of Jamal's recorded about 16 months ago that is just AMAZING. I listen to it and just wonder how anyone can play piano like that!

I've never heard Collates, but I've been enjoying Swing's the Thing from an lp for some time. . . and it is a fantastic session! If only Mosaic would do a set on Verve labels Jac!

John McGlaughlin is too short to get some love!

Oh, well thank you very much. . . . ARGH!

I pretty much agree, but I did it anyway. The cd is very nice. To say it is a "little bright" may be an understatement: when the violinist is performing it can be "piercing" but overall the sound is good, and great performances!

I went with the title track. I just love the variety and the shifting texture, and that amazing trumpeting! I can still experience shock and awe listening. . . .

Looks interesting. Blue Moon. . . some interesting stuff from the "I never heard of dat" category seems to come out of that label two or three times a year! Hey, send a copy or an email to Danny and you'll probably hear something about it. . . . I can help you with an email address if you need it.

Although I've gotten roped into a lot of "honey do" things today I have gotten some good listening in. . . . I feel almost recharged after a very wearying (not just physically!) work week. I don't do a lot of walking with headphones for two reasons: one: around here they just don't respect pedestrians and when I walk I need to have my attention on staying unstruck; two: I really overdosed on headphones in my amateur recording of bands I was in and friends' bands days. . . hours and hours spent with headphones on remixing the same songs over and over. . . soured me to the "in your head" experience! Right now I have the new RVG of "Sixth Sense" going. . . damn it sounds good!

Actually according to a Mosaic statement, French Verve had a cd set planned at the time, which unfortunately never saw the light of day; Mosaic could not get the cd rights but in hindsight it's too bad they didn't.

Lps mastered by RVG. Wonderful music!

Many many more returns!

Will they make me forget all about. . . the Boswells? I've heard a few tunes I like, but I've not bought anything. . .because I've also heard the BoysIIMenesque material. . .

I do. But not necessarily CHEESE whiz. Some places have standards.

Doesn't matter what he eats here in Tejas. . . he's not going to win this state. (Even if by the oddest of chances he really won the state, the fix would be in.) I wish it were even remotely possible!

There are times of course, both at home and at work, when I don't listen to music for longish periods of time. It takes a big toll on me! I'm much happier when I can hear it, even in the faintest background!

I certainly don't want to do anything that might endanger the Kerry campaign. But here in Texas. . . no one knows any better. And I lived in Philly from the ages of 2 to 11, from 1957 to 1966. . .a n d I don't remember any Whiz on hoagies! Of any kind! (The kind of Philly hoagy I long for is the italian type! YUM!)

Shoot, I'm glad you didn't pass on that one, I think the upgraded sound is great! Today I preordered the Ayler box set from cduniverse.

HEY, when I make a cheesesteak hoagie, I use SWISS CHEESE. That stuff makes a very fix it and forget it adhesive!

Alright Wes!

Nothing mystical or even politically inspired. It comes in a can, or a jar. It looks. . . well I don't like its looks. I once saw my brother eat some that had sat on a cracker so long it had HARDENED. THAT DID IT FOR ME! NO MORE WHIZ!

Hmmmm. . .that would be annoying. Luckily for the last decade or so I can sleep my six or seven hours. . . and that's it. I wake up on my own after that amount of time or by my little helper cat and . . . that's it, I can't go back to sleep so I get up and start the day. Get some good early morning listening in that way!

Yes, I vaguely remember the joys of driving and listening. . . .! NOT possible for me.

Yes, all our pals there: BE SAFE!

It works. . . try some refried beans in there too. But it's not going to win a taste test against some real mexican cheeses. . . but hardly would it be expected to. I voted against the Whiz. For many reasons.
