  1. I don't follow Formula 1, but does anyone here follow SailGP? It's the "Formula 1" of sailing. Extremely high tech sail boats 'foil' above the water allowing them to go MUCH faster than any existing sailing technology. Very addicting It's a Grand Prix concept with races staged all over the world and points are awarded depending on where they finish. Check out their website or watch the races which are archived on YouTube
  2. Wow! Interesting they seem to be emptying the classic BN catalog now. I might go for this one.
  3. Nice grunge/pop from this female duo
  4. Great surf piece by NY alt-rock legends Yo La Tengo
  5. Agreed. That Marianne Faithfull album is special.
  6. Don't forget Woody Herman. He put out some high energy albums in the early 70s on OJC. Giant Steps might the be best of them. MF Horn 4&5, Live at Jimmy's was a really good live album. You can feel the energy in this set. Gerald Wilson has been mentioned a couple of times. The Pacific Jazz stuff (especially the Mosaic box) was great, and there is a live set included.
  7. Well ... he DOES play it a lot!
  8. They're playing here in SF this week

    Frank Zappa

    I remember Dweezil was sort of ostracized for a while and he couldn't even use the "Zappa" name when touring and playing his father's songs. Apparently they worked things out somehow.
  10. Gordon's son Bruce is a long-time sports reporter for the SF Chronicle. He recently retired from full time work, but still writes a weekly column. Very smart and funny.
  11. Never seen those 2 packaged together, but worth "coming back to" for SURE!

    The Leaders

    I'm not sure what a "successor band" is. They're not related, though. It's an all star band of hard bop veterans. BTW, I believe David Weiss occasionally drops by Organissimo.
  13. Their best album in a LONG time. As usual with them, it takes a few listenings to really get into it.

    The Leaders

    I like their albums. Maybe not as adventurous as you would think, but there's nothing wrong with them.
  15. Hadn't heard this in a long time. Great tune!
