Me neither. On another board someone reviewed Gerald & Kenny in Santa Cruz. That sounded like a killer show. It was basically a Gerald Wilson show and KB came out for the last 4 tunes.

I agree, it was a great show and a great evening all around. I would differ on Hubert Laws as I've never been a big fan and he didn't do much to change my mind last night. But Joey D was a lot of fun and I would have liked to hear more of him. He'll be around again. Gerald was an amazing focus of activity on stage. I was blown away that he opened with my newly favorite tune, "Sax Chase", from the "In My Time" album. Definitely would like to see a full set by him and his band. If he has this much energy at 87, he's got a long way to go before he slows down. There was a lot of good feeling around the club last night and a wonderful time was had by all.

EXCELLENT!

Probably about a MILLION of them, but I wouldn't know where to tell you to start. What's good about discussing modern rock here is that it is with people who also like jazz, so you already have a sense of where the members are coming from.

You kiddin' me? I wouldn't miss THIS show for anything! I'll be sitting at one of the first tables on the left side, right behind the booths.

Who would have imagined you hadn't heard these two wonderful dates before? Well, I haven't heard a bunch of essential stuff as well, I'm sure. Good point, Conn. I was wondering the same thing. Jim........you gotta start doing some Jazz Messengers acquiring.

That's OK Buzzzz, I'll just rip myself copies of the discs and then put the set up on ebay. CDRs, baby! Hey........good thinkin'! You don't need that booklet anywayzzzzz.

FWIW, this album is available on eMusic.

Hey, Noj.......MAJOR mistake. This set sux! You just blew a hundred (and whatever) dollars - never to be seen again. You might as well use those new disks for beer coasters. (btw................it ROCKS!)

Saw "Inconvenient Truth" today. I think global warming is already HERE in a bigger way than we realize.

The first 2 Supergrass albums were definitely rockers with some great tunes. They seemed to lose some of their edge after that. I like "Rings Around the World", especially the title track. My friend is a big SFA fan and took me to see them a few years ago. I can't say it was a great show, but it was entertaining enough.

I haven't gotten into "Twin Cinema" as much as "Electric Version", so far. I'll take a listen to "Bleeding Heart Show", though.

... and if you believe THAT, Noj has a freeway in Santa Monica he'll sell you, too. I was in Santa Barbara just last week and it was hot and muggy........YUCHH! Not much better back here in the Bay Area this weekend, either. I'm miserable. I hate hot weather ...

Yeah, that's a good one, for sure. I think "Complete Live in Paris" tops it, though.

Anybody like The New Pornographers? I've been listening to the "Electric Version" quite a bit lately and there are some terrific power-pop tunes there.

FWIW, this was just added to eMusic along with Ben Allison, Larry Goldings and a few others on Palmetto.

Also, technically, they're not releasing collections of albums but collections of tunes or sessions.

J.J. Johnson Mosaic Records Columbia 7 CD OOP MD 169 "One of the fastest Mosaic sets to sell out, Limited Edition 7 CD Box Set - The Complete Columbia J.J. Johnson Small Group Sessions (#169)"

I saw him many years ago with George Duke (when he was still playing jazz).

You can get "Overtime" on eMusic and it would cost you less than $2.

That's one crazy-assed web site!

I like that Louis Hayes album a lot, too. It's probably a little more "commersh" than you're used to hearing from him, but it works. But with Leon Thomas, Frank Strozier, Harold Mabern and Cecil McBee, you know there's some value. FWIW, this version of "My Favorite Things" burns down the HOUSE! Mabern's on fire.

I have the digi-pak version, too, and can verify that everything's correct AND readable.

I generally like Linklater and "Waking Life" was great to watch even if sometimes a little too trippy in the 'discussion' department. Isn't this the same technique used on those Charles Schwab commercials, too? Anyway.....high on my list of films to see this summer.
