Looks like I'm going to have to order this one. (It's all YOUR fault, Free For All!)

Crap. I might actually have to buy the JJ now. I wasn't going to at first, but too many people have said too many good things about it. Well......what's another $100+??

That pretty much sums it up for me, too, MD.

He'll be here this Saturday night with Zooid for the SF Jazz Festival

Blondie Veronica Dagwood

I wonder if Bobby's going to sit in with Joey & George at Yoshi's in a couple of weeks. He's not on the bill, but he DOES live around here.

Don't get 'em mixed up - I just can't seem to get the spelling right: Bill Frisell/Lefty Frizzell

Yeah. THAT works! BTW, I like it in the logo bar at the top, but I voted the other way. Can I change my vote?

Mark Dresser/Paul Dresher

I have no............ORGANISSIMO!

You could start by checking out Gerald Wilson. His latest ("In My Time") might even be one of his best. Missing for me: - All those older big bands that Paul mentioned above (except for Woody Herman) - Jimmy Smith (I know......shocking on this message board) - Gerry Mulligan

BF actually ponying up some funds? Yeah. Have to put the Single Malt on hold for now, I guess. And that's different from any other day because........? Because............er, uh,..........well............. ......just because.

Not necessarily a GOOD thing.

Hey, Conn........I'll trade ya' Carmell Jones for the Curtis Amy set!

BF actually ponying up some funds? Yeah. Have to put the Single Malt on hold for now, I guess.

Good to know. Both are available on eMusic.

... and I'm the second. I think I cancelled you out catesta - sorry.

I went last Thursday. They played "Illumination", "Funny Valentine", "Soran Bushi B.H." & "Light Within". As ep1str0phy said, Francesca was on fire. She's really come into her own and is making a run at claiming the McCoy Tyner sound. VERY impressive. All in all a very solid show. With the exception of Keyon Harrald, this group has been together for well over 10 years and it shows in their communication.

OK.......I threw a couple o' bucks into the PayPal pot (well, more than 'a couple', actually) WELL worth it! (even if I DO have to put up with Conn in the chat room)

SF Chronicle - LEAH GARCHIK Wednesday, March 15, 2006 Because Phil Elwood, jazz critic for the Examiner and then The Chronicle, would have been 80 on Sunday, it will be Elwood weekend around here. At 1 p.m. Saturday, Yoshi's in Jack London Square is hosting a free tribute show of jazz artists, including Mike Lipskin, Kim Nalley, John Santos and Richard Hadlock. KPFA, where Elwood began doing a jazz show in 1952, has proclaimed Sunday all his. The Yoshi's show will be broadcast, as well as classic Elwood shows and interviews, and (live) a Sunday night free musical celebration at the Great American Music Hall. This 8 p.m. show will include jazz, rock, blues, folk and more, "the full breadth of Elwood's catholic taste,'' says Joel Selvin, who with Jesse Hamlin has organized it. An altar made by Rebecca Nichols Bivona will include some of Elwood's personal effects, including a letter from (pre-kidnap) Patty Hearst thanking him for getting her tickets to a Monkees concert.

Hey, FFA........what's THAT supposed to mean??!?

I recently downloaded "Diaspora Blues" with the Sam Rivers Trio from eMusic. Haven't listened to it much yet, but was wondering about the other albums in the 'Diaspora' series.

Steve Roach "Slow Heat" - 1 track, Total Length: 71:20 It's an 'ambient' record. AMG loved it........but, I don't quite get it myself.

No prob, but we should thank skeith for letting us know about his appearance on Sunday. I hope his next album is as good as the last one.

Uhhh... going to bed early to go out in the Jeep early the next day... uhhh, Mr. BFrank, sir. Yes......"sir" is the proper address, son.
