  1. He's kind of a folk-y/jazz-y singer and guitarist. Interesting, but certainly not straight-ahead stuff. If you have an eMusic account, there are a few of his albums there.
  2. I saw that Vollard show at the Met, too. It was interesting. Not only for the art, but the story behind the art, as well. Going to see the Henry Wessell photography retrospective at the SFMoMA next week.
  3. They also just added the new Kurt Elling - with special eMusic bonus track.

    Keith Jarrett

    Ditto I happen to like the Sam Brown stuff, BTW.
  5. Good guess, Chuck!
  6. Both bands were ragin', full on! Never saw either, but have a fair amount of both on either vinyl or CD.
  7. Mike Watt currently the bassist on the Iggy & the Stooges tour.
  8. Not jazz, but I saw the Australia's Hoodoo Gurus tonight. Rockin'..........but too loud.
  9. ... but that would be a topic for another thread.
  10. Exactly what I LIKE about "Curtis/Live" is the stripped-down live club sound. It's almost like you're in the front row.
  11. I think the lineup is Frank Foster, tenor sax; Ted Dunbar, guitar; Mickey Tucker, piano; Earl May, bass; Billy Hart, drums. N'Hita Jazz Club, Belgium, February 24th,1979. luca Hey THANKS, Eloe!
  12. Mabern's "Straight Street" is a great album. There's another Joanne Brackeen trio album w/Jack & Eddie Gomez: "Keyed In" So.....it looks like he's played with a LOT of piano trios, actually.
  13. For any fan of Curtis, this album is a "must-have".
  14. "Self Portrait" is a collection of tunes that Artie himself assembled a few years ago (before he passed away ... obviously). Not necessarily hits, but interesting and unusual stuff that he thought was his best work over the years.
  15. "Self Portrait" arrived yesterday from SonyMusicStore.com. I think they still have it in stock for $39.98. Great price - especially if it's OOP or nearly OOP. I listened to the first disk and was very impressed.
  16. Razor Shines Milton Bradley Coco Crisp Urban Shocker
  17. You must be kidding Hmm...charming music decorated with a cover featuring a device designed to kill thousands of people. Just hilarious. See, we Americans ain't all nuke-happy. I think Claude was making a reference to his 'avatar'.
  18. Thanks for that link. They do apparently record every show and take the best performance of each tune to release in a multiple-disk, limited edition set.
  19. Ths album (w/Joe Farrell, Eddie Gomez and Steve Gadd) is nowhere NEAR as bad as it's cover.
  20. The entire 32 Jazz label. Take your pick ... Amen.... ... brother.
  21. "Invisible Nature" - John Surman & Jack DeJohnette
  22. The entire 32 Jazz label. Take your pick ...
  23. On a side note ... Anyone have any information on this one? I downloaded it from eMusic today and AMG has incomplete lineup info and no review. Who's the guitar player? Where/when was it recorded?
  24. I rented a Honda Civic Hybrid a couple of months ago for an out-of-town trip. I did well over 700 miles and it was a very comfortable ride and got around 40mpg. I would still buy a Prius over this, but I was pleasantly surprised.
  25. Not me. I thought it was refreshingly unique. ... and I'm sure Billy is VERY use to his "singing" as this group has played together (off and on) for many years.
