One more time. ... and Dizzy Reece, too.

Queen meets the Yardbirds......in more ways than one.

The Dons went 18-10, falling in the second round to Capistrano Valley (Mission Viejo, CA) --CIF-SS Div IIAA L 55-57. Maxpreps.com is a good site for info like this. I'm going to "age" myself now. Keith (a/k/a Jamal) Wilkes was our star when I was at SBHS.

That's what I was thinking.

Whoa!! This is about as high a price as I have ever seen these 2 sets go for. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MEWA:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MEWA:IT

The Celluloid version changed the order of the tunes for some reason. I used to have it, but got rid of it for the newer version (which also has the original cover art). Can't say whether the mixes are any better or worse, though.

I don't know......but I remember we were in the CIF. (Santa Barbara High)

A HUGE one that I forgot to mention: Charles Tolliver - "Live at Slugs" ("Grand Max", too)

Anyone had any trouble with Horace Silver's "United States of Mind" from BMG? I've received 2 copies and both have the same raspy, buzzing sound on disk #2 at the end of track 13 and then most of 14.

Aside from many that have been mentioned - Lee @ Lighthouse, Blakey/Ugetsu, Wes "Full House", Trane @ Vanguard and Birdland, Miles @ Blackhawk, "Four & More", etc... Donald Byrd - "Half Note" Don Ellis - "Fillmore" Maynard - "Live at Jimmy's" Great Jazz Trio - "At the VV" Dexter - "Homecoming", "Bouncing w/Dex" Ella - "Mack the Knife", "In Hollywood" Cannonball - "What is This Thing Called Soul" Clifford Jordan - "Night of the Mark VII" McCoy - "Atlantis", "Enlightenment" Bartz - "I've Known Rivers" I'm sure I left out a bunch. There's nuthin' like LIVE jazz

An appreciation on Charlie Rose tonight. Probably replaying some old interviews. **That's pretty shocking that he would do something like that while on the phone with his wife.

I believe that is true.

George Adams was the KING of inside/outslide playing.

I still like Mallard. Have to look for that CD.

Mine's a 2001 "Fuel 2000" copy. Doesn't really say who remastered it, which I never noticed before. I don't think that it is wildly better than the original album, which was muddy. Would like to see someone go in and do a "definitive" remaster on this. Add some extra tracks, too.

1 Lee - "Johnny's Blue" 3 Waynes - "Noise in the Attic", "Sleeping Dancer", "Giantis" 1 Burke-Van Heusen - Title track

The Mallard albums have Beefheart-like vocals, but they are different enough that it's not a problem. Also they aren't doing covers. Good albums, though. Pick 'em up if you can find them. Have they ever been released on CD?

How IS that album? I've seen it in the stores.

Wow. You actually bought something, Drew. Very cool. Unfortunately I was leaving town on Sunday, so I wasn't able to attend. It would have been a lot of fun just to be there. OTOH, I did get to go to the preview on Friday and see all that stuff. Congratulations on your acquisition!

Interesting about the Cecil Taylor show. I was thinking about that one, too - and also that Iridium was an odd place for him to be playing. I'll try to see him another time. He plays the Jazz Fest here in SF periodically. Spaulding was on alto. He didn't solo in the set that I saw, though. No Bartz, but we did have Craig Handy, who I had seen last year with the Mingus BB.

One more.

Another

OK. Here's one.

Sounds good to me. I always thought they were ahead of their time.

He basically said that a lot of the film is Ray Charles' vision of his own life (he was a "consultant"). In other words, a lot of the details should be taken with a grain of salt.
