And he didn't need to write huge tomes to effectively tell a story - The Teammates - A Portrait of a Friendship is an extraordinary piece of writing about the lifelong friendship between Ted Williams, Johnny Pesky, Dominic Dimaggio and Bobby Doerr. Its an incredibly moving meditation on old friends facing mortality. ......missed that one. must read. our baseball heroes and our jazz heroes are family to us and we love them dearly.

maybe i should bring a slab or two. group are the only free jazz ensemble working today who wear stage uniforms. They perform clad in t-shirts from Ruby's Barbecue Restaurant in Austin Texas. Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten, Paal Nilssen-Love, Mats Gustafsson in Austin, Texas November 18, 2005

THE THING MATS GUSTAFFSON- baritone saxophone INGEBRIKT HAKER FLATEN- bass PAAL NILSSEN-LOVE- drums - The trio was a long wanted constellation where several musical styles meet in a very high energetic outlet. All members are influenced by different traditions of free music derived from Germany, England and America, and these influences are to be felt and not necessary heard. When the trio started out, the book contained mainly of tunes by Don Cherry, hence the group's name. Since Joe McPhee`s participation, the group's reportuar has included other free jazz standards by David Murray, Frank Lowe and Norman Howard. Also, the groups enthusiasm towards rock music, is heard when they play "To Bring You My Love" by PJ Harvey on the second CD. Today the book has expanded to include tunes by The White Stripes, The Sonics and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. This is just an example that explains how close musical styles are today, how similar the energy is and can be, and how much today`s audience is melted together, devoted to creative music. "Tapping into rock's most primal forces with the fire and fury that's something to behold" Mojo "The Thing convert nouveau punk and vintage garage-rock into a roaring scream-up, but the sheer energy and love of the music keep gimmickery at bay" Uncut "The sheer power they generate from wood, metal, breath and muscle is stunning" BBC

thanks, ghostly one. thank god i'm not on the airwaves, spewing all manner of misinformation. d.c. is a great jazz area, too.

sure wish you could have stopped off at severance hall. acoustics have been upgraded again in the last several years. great place to make a recording.

oh, no. i'm a sports lover, but i would love him to have written more on meaningful topics. the first book of his i read was the very thorough very big book about the old grey lady, and nam, of course.

First, if he doesn't make a dime that's his business, not ours. Interesting to know but not important in the end. Second, I'd say if he doesn't know something he'll imagine it and present it as fact. In the end he provides a good service but a big "grain of salt" is needed before fileing this stuff away as "truth". he's the curator of the jazz archives at lincoln center. he's doing well. guessing lots of other treasures are there to be found, or perhaps never to be found.

didst yanquis know something when they didnt reup mariano? no way is the frank of torre lasting the year. jeter player/manager? then we will have torre plus all the others in the booth on sunday night beezball.

schaapy's done for the day and didnt say a word till noon, and the music is beautiful now. his coltrane homilies were unending and unbearable. i suspect phil is largely responsible for these wonderful events continuing. let's give the devil his due.

...saw janet in concert with, among others, vic juris about 10 years ago, and at once most impressed with both her respect for the music, her personality, her adventurous musical nature, and unearthly range. in a visit or two, we shared many of the same musical favorites. i suspect only dogs and cats could really comprehend her range. any news or anecdotes of this lovely lady? http://janetlawson.hypermart.net/

love my trek. used to be american made. not so sure now. some friends have put thousands into their awesome bikes.

red sox have just hit 4 straight home runs against yankees wright in fenway on espn. not sure i have ever seen this.

i confine to bike trails. dont like or trust cars. had a couple friends mangled, one just after he had qualified for the olympics.

wonderful concert. casual intimate room with great sound and walls lined with paintings of our heroes. (beer is very cheap, too) one of the friendliest groups i have been in recent memory. Mary Halvorson (guitar) and Tomas Fujiwara(drums) taylor and his trio, a real trio in every sense, played generous portions of some of the most cohesive music i have heard, arriving in columbus after a long drive from a chicago appearance, gave a magnificent performance for the couple dozen of us there, playing 4 numbers and a suite. his mastery and control of the low register of his cornet and the intensity he summons,(and, really, all of it) is hair raising. taylor's humorous unpretentious tasteful remarks lasted until he picked up his horn. taylor is a beautiful ambassador for new music and i hope to see him perform live again soon, although he is very very busy with braxton. http://www.taylorhobynum.com/ http://www.iceboxshows.com/ (next show tuesday night, the thing)

Good grief! I didn't know those had been issued here! Thanks Ghost! MG .........ah, a show is fforthcoming.

thank you. the fab 4 were quite something. i have many of their vinyls. i am guessing there's a 4 freshmen ghost group performing somewhere tonight.

he had a really nice all night radio show 25 or 30 years ago, but i cant stand him on tv. may have seen 3 or 4 shows in that time.

sounds great. will your show be archived?

hip, always tasteful and classy, and very very moving at times. not sure if i can blame him for that, or the music. his 2 sets of archives are among the great treasures of the internet.
