Sorry I missed the Zorn residency. Just too focused on getting it together for this week's SXSW madness in Austin. Maybe I'll catch Zorn in NYC someday.

Nice. Shipp puts on a good show.

Figures ...

I have an old Menza LP called "First Flight" that is really good. Don't know if it's still in print, though.

A few of the "new" Xanadu reissues have turned up on eMusic this week.

Anyone seeing Zorn at Yoshi's this week?

Sounds intriguing, for sure. Hope there's something to it.

It's more than the usual Yoshi's price, but I don't think it's outrageous. Gotta pay for all the different musicians who are coming out to SF for this. Besides, you get to see them in an "intimate" club setting.

What's the deal with these 8-strings? How are you supposed to play them? What's the point? Agile Intrepid Pro 8 Nat Maple FB

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! Happy 5-1 !! (welcome to the club) [yeah.......I cheated. don't tell anyone]

Free.....I thought you were CONNvienced. No?

I've had the vinyl of Soaring for a LONG time. Haven't listened to it for a long time, either, but remember that it was a solid album.

Glad I have the Select!

Nooooooooooooooooooo*d*i*c*k*oooooooojjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj!!! HAPPY B-DAY!!!

That's too bad.........but I can't say I've been in there in over 5 years. It's more disturbing that Stacey's Bookstore is closing in March. I go there a lot at lunch time.

Yes, I realize that BF- I was being facetious. (like Bruce Lundvall would actually call....yeah, right!) HELLyeah, he would, Free! He should be so lucky. You call HIM, OK?

I had that problem with the checkbox question that would only let you answer one, too. Bad quality control. Also, a bad series of questions that seemingly ask the same thing over and over with only slightly different wording. I do surveys for a living - I would never have let that go out without better QC. Free........you won't get lunch with Bruce - that's only for residents of NYC. That's why they ask for your Zip. Sorry. You might get the CD set, though.

It's a good one, Buzz - I've had it since November (well, the limited edition version anyway). Guests include Gavin Harrison, Theo Travis, Jordan Rudess, and Tony Levin. Good to know! I was listening to Warszawa today - good live album! Better than Coma Divine, I think.

New Steven Wilson solo album "Insurgentes" now on eMusic (Aggggggggggggggggggggg!)

That is pretty amazing (it was a good show, too). Gervais made a comment to her from the stage (as a presenter) at the Golden Globes about that.

Don't remember where I read it (if here on O, sorry to repeat), but Bruford announced recently that he's retiring from live performing.

Well.........it's "next year" already - March 18-22. Looking forward to another crazy few days.

Max - disks V & VII

I Saved for Later on eMusic, too. Good to hear the rave reviews.
