Check out this insane video!

The clips I'm hearing sound VERY interesting. Not "rinky" at all, unless you want to call Larry Young "rinky".

Tonight! Anyone see this? William Parker’s ‘Inside Songs of Curtis Mayfield’ (Friday) “I Plan to Stay a Believer” (Aum Fidelity), a recent album by Mr. Parker, the avant-garde bassist, takes as its subject the sinuous, urgent soul music of Curtis Mayfield. As he does on the album, he’ll take a freedom-seeking approach to that music here, with help from the poet Amiri Baraka, the singer Leena Conquest, the saxophonist Sabir Mateen, the pianist Dave Burrell and others. At 7 p.m., Le Poisson Rouge, 158 Bleecker Street, near Thompson Street, Greenwich Village , (212) 505-3474, lepoissonrouge.com; $15. (Chinen)

I've been noticing that resale value on OOP Mosaics is significantly less than it was a few years ago. They still sell for a premium, but the days of 2-3 times the original cost seem to be gone. There are a few exceptions, of course - like Thad/Mel and Maynard.

This is odd! The Complete Ahmad Jamal Trio Argo Sessions 1956-62

I just picked up something called the Avid Recording Studio. It's an M-Audio Fast Track interface that comes bundled with Pro Tools SE (a/k/a "lite"). It's the first time I've used something like this and it looks like the learning curve might be a little steep. So far, I've only run some of the demo tunes and played around with the channels and a few instrument effects. Anyone have any interesting "getting started" tips?

... seminal work that the band recorded for Atlatnic

There have been a lot of those people for quite a while. Every time eMusic changed their policy the board has been lit up with them. I agree, if you don't like the service get out, but don't hang your dirty laundry all over the board. Bottom line is, they went from 'too good to be true' (the "unlimited" days) to just 'cheaper than most'. Still a good source.

I got that Zune HD 32. It's nice, it's small, it does what it's supposed to do.

You've read Chandler and Hammett, right?

Henry Threadgill's No-Groove Groove Review by Kevin Whitehead on Fresh Air today.

Read that............sounded great. Is he taking that on the road?

I got no problem with THAT. Those first two Ntu Troop albums are classics. Best track of the week for me was a pop tune, Janelle Monae "Cold War"

It originally retailed for about $1,200..........so, it IS a deal!

Any time, David!

Finally got around to watching the Backstage Pass show that I DVR'd from the T-giving weekend. GREAT stuff! "Jimmy Smith Goes to Washington" was on FIRE! Great seeing the band perform. Hopefully you'll get to the Left Coast one of these days.

Par-tayyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!! :party: Have a GREAT one!

At Keystone Korner, SF (from the Rolling Stone website) - probably 12/4/75. I was honored to be there.

I saw this exhibit at Mary Boone's. Attached is a handout from the show - includes 5 glossy images. The old fart was smart! RIP

This is Terry Gibbs orchestra with Henry Mancini and Steve Allen. The year is 1983. "Peter Gunn" is the music with "solo's" by Pete Candoli, Conte Candoli, Carl Fontana, Jerome Richardson, and Plas Johnson. Pete did the series and the original theme with Henry Mancini years before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dechpnavTyA

Interesting about the cover. Sounds like the same package I have - 7.5" book format w/liners and cardboard CD pages. I wonder why the different version of the cover image?

It's this cover. I got it about a year ago. It was sold as a "Limited Edition", but it's good that the music is available again.
