JSngry Posted March 18, 2003 Report Posted March 18, 2003 Checked in over there this morning and all was well. Went back a bit later and my non-framed link didn't work. Went there through the JC homepage, got the framed link, and all there was was a cryptic message about temporarily shutting down due to heavy spamming. What did I miss? Quote
Jim Dye Posted March 18, 2003 Report Posted March 18, 2003 Not sure what happened. I didn't see any spamming this morning and I was checking in quite frequently. They must have jumped on it pretty quick... Quote
ghost of miles Posted March 18, 2003 Report Posted March 18, 2003 Jim, I tried to check in too and couldn't get through at all. I assumed it had something to do with the impending changes. BTW, I really like Jazz Corner & Lois' handling of it, but I thought it was interesting that my news post about Henry Grimes has elicited far more interest here on Organissimo--the alleged reserve of militant 50's/60's Blue Note hardboppers--than on the supposedly more avant Jazz Corner board.

AfricaBrass Posted March 18, 2003 Report Posted March 18, 2003 GOM, I didn't comment on it, because I didn't really have much to add, but I was happy when I saw your post about Henry Grimes. It's an amazing story. I've followed the story from the BNBB. I really wish I could see the show. Please don't think that we lack interest in this. Quote
ghost of miles Posted March 18, 2003 Report Posted March 18, 2003 Oh, I'm not trying to make judgements or anything, and I was referring to the lack of response on the Jazz Corner site (do you post there too?). Nobody has an obligation to be interested, anyway, and overall I've found Jazz Corner to be receptive to the Blue Note exiles. JC does exude a certain 'tude, though, IMO, that tends to favor improv--which is one of the reasons why I like to go there--and to be politely disdainful at times to the Blue Note/hardbop crowd (don't like that part). Now Grimes did come out of a 50's/60's hardbop milieu, initially, but the guy is an avant hero of the bass. He played with Cecil Taylor, Archie Shepp, Albert Ayler... you know the story. The artists who burned the collective flame for the fire of improv that many JC posters warm themselves by today. So I think it's telling that there seems to be more curiosity on this board, which is filled with Blue Note exiles. Just goes to show for the nth time that massive categorization and stereotyping are not the most accurate ways of gauging reality. Quote
AfricaBrass Posted March 18, 2003 Report Posted March 18, 2003 I've lurked on the jazzcorner board for years. I think I posted a couple of times. I guess I was intimidated by that board. The water was a little warmer at the BNBB, so I jumped in that pool. I've really enjoyed checking out the different boards since the demise of the BNBB. This board is my favorite, but it's such a personal preference kind of thing. I just wanted to reply to your comment about your Grimes thread. I understand the frustration of not getting the response that the thread deserves. Heck, I think I'm the biggest thread killer around here. Quote

David Williams Posted March 18, 2003 Report Posted March 18, 2003 It's almost unusable for me at the moment - too slow. Hope the revamp will make it quicker to load. Quote

Harold_Z Posted March 18, 2003 Report Posted March 18, 2003 Jazz Corner works way better with Netscape than with I.E. I have both browsers on my pc because of that. They ran a thread about it. A lot of people have the same problem. Quote
BFrank Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 I don't have any problem with IE on a PC. There will be a new interface soon anyway. Quote
David Williams Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 Thanks for the tip, Harold: it is better. Quote
Christiern Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 If you want to know what happened at Jazz Corner's Speakeasy today, look for a thread titled: "It's A Miracle the Blacks Don't Slit All Our Throats... Resident race card dealer, Rainy Day, is at it again. I won't say more, her kick-off post and that which follows says it all. Quote

Jim Alfredson Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 Chris, with all respect, why bring this over here? Quote
RainyDay Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 Chris, with all respect, why bring this over here? ← Because he is obsessed with what I do and say. It's pretty creepy, really. Quote
Christiern Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 Obsessed? Try disgusted. Perhaps this thread should be laid to rest, Jim. Sorry I re-introduced it. Quote
