Listening to "Eastbound" from the Paul Chambers Select and I don't remember this cut doing a fast fade at the end of the piece. I thought the LP version, Chambers' Music, had a clean ending (which I think is more effective). It's a bit annoying really. Has my mind gone eastbound? (Well, actually...)

yeah, that'll work too...

Here's some dates...have a ball buddy...

i need to see this!

"...I'm Black. They never let me forget it. I'm Black alright. I'll never let them forget it.” (quoting Jack Johnson)

I have some photos from last June 17 at La Chaux-de-Fonds when he was there to premiere a new work and to introduce a new documentary about himself. His wife should see the photos first tho. She's been on vacation. He came to Austin, Texas last year too - ...a highly unlikely occurence that actually happened. Texas? sad news indeed...

I mentioned this over at Funny Rat, but he deserves a topic of his own: Luc Ferrari

Luc Ferrari

That's why I love you MAN! Whoops, hollers, and all!

It has been sad days lately for new/experimental music. First we have Koji Tano, then Bob Moog, and now I notice thru Otomo's site that the great Luc Ferrari died yesterday. The site is in Japanese, but the news is in English: Otomo/Ferrari

If one examines jazz, one is faced with a choice: either accept the Marsalis family power relations or conclude that its language, somewhat ironically, has a real intrinsic meaning. One could suggest the use of university-based jazz studies to deconstruct elitist perceptions of class in jazz. "Society is part of the failure of modern jazz," is what we want to hear Stanley Crouch say. However, other writers have used the term "patriarchial construction" to denote a mythopoetical totality of this primarily male-based construct. Just look at Feather's analysis of bebop and what it holds out for academia. Therefore, the main theme of the works of the unadulterated jazz experience is the bridge between culture and society. The subject is contextualised into a patriarchial construction that includes narrativity as a paradox.

(sorry, I've been on the "phone" - Skype really...) Yes, of course, it would show the group name - forgot...senior moment... anyway, yeah, WATTS up wit that one chord vamp that's so "wrong"? (or just not right?) some real dogs on this tho... - their "Yellow Submarine" defies description! Yup, hafta agree on that tenor - makin do!

I like Water. Good reissue label, but what's up with this? I'll tell you who it is later if you haven't guessed... Ipanema?

Try here: O'Day-O.

After a month away, there's a pile of mail waiting for me to go thru and I know that the O-Disc is in there. I'm expecting the best and I know I'll be gettin' it! Thanks a bunch and I'll leave comments at CDBaby after I listen. The comments here are really whetting my appetite!

I'm really grateful to Fantasy for their supply of free records sent to me in the 70's at KCHU!

Sure. I'll just finish listening to this one: Hey! Everything is Everything y'all!

Fine label - start with their first release: "a conSPIracy cantata" by Yannis Kyriakides

Hey! Someone's at the door and it ain't Reba the Postman!

Don't have that player - got an iAudio M3 that I've used for a couple of years. The best place to check out DAPs is here: DAP Review Excellent site!

Actually, I've found that the best, in order, is: • Direct Line • Cassette • FM Adaptor The adaptors are the most unreliable, even if you are able to find an "empty" station. If you are lucky enough to be located outside of a major metropolitan area, then your reception will, at best, be only good and not great. After you get what you think is the best reception, try listening to solo piano music - it often has the sound of ring modulated tones. Possibly interesting if you're listening to Stockhausen's "Mantra," but a real bugger if you're groovin' to Tatum. Again, if you're, for example, stuck with a rental car without a cassette deck, then, I'd not recommend the Belkin FM gadget, but rather, "Air Talk." Also, "Air Talk" has the added advantage of not covering the complete top of your iPod, so you can have access to the "Hold" button if you need to use this. The Kenwood that Soulstation mentioned may be a groovy possibility! just a suggestion...

I have an Eclipse unit that has a line out connect direct to the iPod and it works great! Spinlps is right about the various head units available for direct iPod control. Also, I think Kenwood is the only one that plays AAC files if that's an issue for you. Instead of iTrip (of which I"ve heard many complaints), I suggest "Air Talk" if you need one, and only if you can't use the cassette option (car rental without a cassette deck - which is what I'm faced with at the moment in Germany). You have to find the right balance of volumes between the Air Talk and your car stereo otherwise some sounds - especially piano - come out distorted. If you are looking at moderately priced cars, I wouldn't expect iPod standards until around the 2009 models at the earliest. Heck, even basic mp3 units are just now starting to creep in rather slowly. So, you may want to shop accordingly.

I tried a search and couldn't find this, but has anyone brought up the fact that Koji Tano died a few weeks ago? The colon cancer took him rather quickly. When I get back from Germany, I'll be putting together a tribute piece. Maybe my O-Search is faulty, but it seems to have not been mentioned in the Funny Rat which is quite a surprise. R°d

About the same here in München. Absolutely beautiful with nice low temps for sleeping and bright, sunny warm days: 10° - 20°C! R°d
