Got that one. It's interesting - just him and Wilbur Ware.

When's that Booby Fischer Select coming out?

Noooooooooooo! I'll take THAT one!

Interesting album by Chico Freeman just added - Morning Prayer. Review by Scott Yanow, All Music Guide Tenor saxophonist Chico Freeman's second recording as a leader (the first was an obscurity for Dharma in 1975) was originally cut for the Japanese Trio label before being made available domestically by India Navigation. An impressive effort, the adventurous music (five compositions by Freeman) features the leader on tenor, soprano, flute and pan-pipe, Henry Threadgill (switching between alto, baritone and flute), pianist Muhal Richard Abrams, bassist Cecil McBee (in the first of his many collaborations with Freeman), flutist Douglas Ewart, and the percussion of Steve McCall and Ben Montgomery. The performances are unpredictable yet logical inside/outside music. This set has not yet reappeared on CD.

yeah.......well.........AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN, Aggggggggggdickgggggggggggg!

ALERT!

I love you guys!

When you've got it figured out, post the tabs here. THANKS!

Hey, Conn..........what do you have to trade?

The Uptown Bird "Washington D.C., 1948" album is there now.

Mr. Terry Gross!

Excellent. A true FPoS.

A couple of pics from the SF Bay on Saturday. Nice cold, crisp light and sky.

Man I haven't spun that Herman LP in a long time. Was a good one. I think Rhodes is used on "Fiesta." Sure, probably Rhones, but the liners identify it as "electric piano" (maybe it was a copyright issue).

Andy Laverne plays electric piano on "La Fiesta" on the album, "Giant Steps"

Not sure, but I think this band actually preceded the original RTF. Chick contributes an essay to the reissue that delineates all this. I guess I should give a reread... Actually.......right in the middle of the original RTF. RTF (ECM) - Feb 1972 Capt Marvel - Mar 1972 Light as a Feather - Oct 1972 So we're BOTH right.

I always thought of this album as an off-shoot of the original RTF. I liked it a lot at the time, but it probably wouldn't make any of my Top 10 lists these days.

The man is a phenomenon. Great to hear that he's still so active filling the clubs. Cool BF- I'd love to see Hank Jones. So he played a JJ Johnson tune? Let me guess.....Lament? Which Joe Hen tune? Who else did he have in the trio? Sorry, lots of questions. Sounds like it was a fun evening. Good guess, Free - yes, it was Lament! Joe Hen "Recorda Me", Monk "Rhythma-Ning", don't remember which other tunes he played. The trio was John Clayton (b) and Clayton "?" (d) - yes, 2 Claytons. The drummer was a younger guy who I think I saw with Hank about 5 years ago. Both were excellent.

Saw 90 year-old Hank Jones with his trio tonight at Yoshi's SF. Great show! Hank seems to be doing very well. Did a very nice variety of Bird, Monk, Wes, Joe Hen, JJJ, Body & Soul, a couple of his own tunes ... and one or two others. He's getting a lifetime achievement Grammy this weekend, too.

Not DL'd yet, but this is supposed to be pretty good. Willie And The Wheel - Willie Nelson w/Asleep at the Wheel

Well I didn't look through all 4,190 albums, but you do have a very well rounded collection. I think you could use a lot of the knowledge you have to find more of what you like on your own. Having said that ... Get some more Zappa: "Grand Wazoo", "Roxy & Elsewhere", "One Size Fits All", "We're Only In It For the Money", "Apostrophe". (Good going on some of those George Duke MPS albums) You don't have The Who "Live at Leeds" (a must-have) Get U2 "Boy", their first and best album (IMHO) McCoy Tyner "Supertrios" - easy DL from eMusic Supertramp "The Autobiography Of Supertramp" - get rid of it. I hate that band. Only 1 Bad Religion? Get "Stranger than Fiction", "Process of Belief" If you like CSN&Y (you have "So Far"), get "Deja Vu" and the first CS&N album. The Cult - "Dreamtime" and "Dreamtime Live" (eMusic) Jefferson Airplane - "Crown of Creation", "After Bathing at Baxters" Jefferson Starship - "Blows Against the Empire" (this is MUCH different from the later, commercial version of the band) Return to Forever - you need the first album, "Return to Forever" (ECM) One final question: why is the font so BIG on that Excel file?

This just showed up on Soul Note. Looks interesting, especially since the band is mostly made up of ECM artists. Arild Andersen | George Russell | Jan Garbarek | Terje Rypdal | Jon Christensen | Stanton Jr. Davis

Kimball's is what I keep thinking about. They first started presenting fairly straight ahead jazz in SF's Civic Center area and then expanded to Kimball's East in Oakland. The SF venu eventually folded and became a popular restaurant while "East" went to much more commercial and dance-able forms of music.......and eventually folded as well. Having said that, I'm going to see Hank Jones at Yoshi's SF next week. Looking forward to it!

eMusic has it, for those interested.
