AAJ down again? What's up?

Dont' forget that the Giants haven't won a World Series in almost 50 years themselves!

OH yes!! Go for it!!! Ditto. And add the Wes Montgomery FULL HOUSE date on Riverside OJC to the list. You get that same foursome plus Johnny Griffin, and they're all in top form or better. It's GOOD! OH yes!! Go for it!!! More ditto!

Somehow this doesn't seem right. Basically only one bidder and it's already up to $279.95?? What's up with that? Lee Morgan Mosaic - ebay

Yeah. Looks like it's gonna be "Christmas in October" with Patton and Miles coming in. Have to set aside some serious listening time next weekend.

The cool thing about those early albums was that his backing band was Little Feat! ... and let's not forget Warren Zevon.

Well.......what can I say? I know where "it" is now!

I just pre-ordered from CD Universe. Glad to hear that they are a reliable and fast vendor. Shipping is the same $6.99 for 2-3 day shipping as it is for 3-7 day shipping. Guess which one I selected?? B) I don't usually care for multiple takes either, but I'm figuring that this is so "jam" happy that the different takes will each be quite different from each other. If not, I'll just put the player on "random" and see what happens. Can't wait ...

I don't remember seeing that when I was trying to delete threads. I see it now, though. Maybe it was part of the "problem".

Why don't you delete the other posts? Can't delete them. I had that problem recently, too. b3-er has info in the "Forum Discussion" forum about the technical problems that he's having right now.

I used to save them on my hard drive, but have stopped doing that for the most part. Pretty much everything I d/l, I put on my Archos 20. Like Uncle Skid, I didn't "need" one, but since I use it at work, I realize that it has become indespensible. Since I'm pretty much of an eclectic listener, it's great to have access to dozens and dozens of CDs without having to actually haul them in to work. Also, I initially signed up for the 3-month sub, but quickly realized that the yearly contract would be no problem. $10/month is "nothing", considering what's there.

Didn't do anything for me either. In fact after several listenings, I finally traded it in. I'm thinking that maybe BN was trying to steer Andrew into doing something commecially acceptable.

Thanks for the heads-up on this, Lon. I always liked that original "Jimi Plays Berkeley" film, this one sounds like another winner. Damn! Just too much Jimi out there ...

How much are tickets.....................to NYC?

I just ordered the Patton last night, but there was no notice about when it was going to be shipped.

With apologies to whoever created this great illustration.

Not jazz (exactly), but I saw that the band Television is playing at the Henry Fonda Theater on 9/30. I just saw them up here in SF last night and it was a great show. If you've never seen them live before, check them out. They don't play that frequently and it's a real treat.

From Sunday's NY Times: +++ September 21, 2003 VOWS Alicia Hall and Jason Moran By KATHRYN SHATTUCK With her come-hither gaze and unflinching grace under fire, Alicia Hall is no shrinking violet. Rather, Ms. Hall, known among her friends for talking in swooping metaphors, might liken herself to a flowering tree: pushing upward and branching out, but remaining firmly grounded. "Alicia is dramatic — always has been," said Joanna Broughton, who roomed with Ms. Hall at Barnard College in the early 1990's. "She is honest and not afraid to report the harsh truth." Ms. Broughton added, eyebrow raised, "Of course, two hours later you haven't gotten a word in edgewise." Daria Brown recalled how in 1995, when they shared an apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side, their chats were incessant, especially when the topic was men. That is, until one evening when Ms. Hall, then a freshman at the Manhattan School of Music, where she was studying to become a classical singer, appeared uncommonly quiet. "She came around the corner," Ms. Brown recalled, "and said, `So, Daria, I met this boy. His name is Jason. We sat on a bench.' " And then Ms. Hall left. Love had silenced her. That bench sitter was Jason Moran, then a junior at the conservatory who cut a wide swath on campus. She had first noticed him that fall. "He was very, very handsome, and he seemed to be like a tennis player who maybe just scored an ace," Ms. Hall, now 30, said. "He's a little bit exerted, but very, very powerful." Ms. Hall, dressed for an audition that day in a tailored blazer and a skirt with a swish, had already captured the discerning eye of Mr. Moran, who is now 28 and a jazz pianist for Blue Note Records, and whose bold ideas have gone over well with critics. "She was the new chick, a black girl with short hair and long legs," Mr. Moran said. "Then I tried to figure out her class schedule." He knew his sudden appearances had drawn Ms. Hall's attention when "she started hugging me more than was normal" for a friend, he said. Early in their courtship, the couple stole into a two-piano practice room late at night and traded improvised melodies. To Mr. Moran's astonishment, Ms. Hall, who had studied composition at Barnard and Columbia, had some serious ideas. "She could really play," he said. "It was amazing. She could improvise and feel free." It hooked him, he said, for life. They were married on Sept. 6 at First United Methodist Church in Stamford, Conn. The late afternoon sun cast dancing colors through an enormous stained-glass window as the bride walked up the aisle to the pounding of African drums, an almost imperceptible sashay in her stride. Afterward, at the Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, N.Y., the Imani Winds, a classical quintet, greeted guests, including the pianist Andrew Hill and Bruce Lundvall, president of Blue Note Records. Later, 200 guests dined and danced to a mix of Madonna and Michael Jackson spun by DJ Foosh. Before dinner, Nasheet Waits, the drummer in the Bandwagon, Mr. Moran's trio, and Lenora Helm, Mr. Waits's longtime companion, discussed how to succeed as a two-career couple when one member spends half the year on the road. "It's about having a really good communication with each other," Ms. Helm said. "We talk every other day, just to ask, `How are you? How's your heart?' " Days earlier, Mr. Moran recalled that it took him a year to acknowledge that Ms. Hall, who occasionally performs with him and also works part-time managing the Columbia University office of the historian Simon Schama, was perfect for him. "Alicia understands the music, she understands the art," he said. "You could go around the world and meet a lot of people. But I know that when I come home, I'm going to be able to laugh or yell and not feel like I have to change. I listen to her."

Here's one that may win the "ugly" award!

Soulstation1 - Go to "View/Options" in the Download Manager. Under the "General" tab there is "Download Location". That's where the files are.

I have vinyl of "Impact" and I have always had trouble listening to it. How does "Music Inc" compare in sound quality??

It's even MORE criminal that the second set I went to at Yoshi's was $7.00! B)

Just saw him/them on Monday at Yoshi's. Agreed. An astounding show.

OK. One more........with a different "bent".
