Haven't we been through this before?

Why don't the people who talk football here go to a "real" football board and take that over and start talking about jazz there?

(oh this is too irresistible).....like the Democrats would?? We musn't confront the terrorists right?? I'm not talking political ideology here, I'm talking about the people on this board. Fuck the democrats, what do I care? You neo-conservatives have a one-track mind, sheesh! btw, yeah Bush has really attacked those terrorists? No Osama, no Saddam, festering shit holes in Afghanistan and Iraq and we're less safe now than we were before 9/11. Could anyone do worse?

Dan, could you please keep your personal jibes to yourself? It's snips like that that cause threads to get mean-spirited, personal and spiral out of control. B3-er, could you warn him please Just joking. Conservatives need to vent there anger and fear somewhere and at someone. Might as well be me.

Maybe they don't want to read about politics on a board that they go to for jazz. It would be nice if you didn't belittle someone (and likewise assume they have their head in the sand) for their choice. You have a choice to read and post in the politics section, they have the choice not to read and post in the politics section. Yes that's true, but to make it so the political threads don't appear at all to some members is a little strange. I mean, you have a political section on this board, no? Why? Well I could venture to guess that a fair number of jazz people also like to talk politics with other jazzbos. That section, in part, keeps people coming back to your site. There's a place where people talk about football on this board. I hate football, but you don't see me whining about it. To section one group of discussions from another seems a little, I don't know, hypocritical. If you don't like politics on your board, take it off. But you like all those hits don't you? So you set up a little function to screen one aspect of expression from the rest. Kinda weak.

I'm just amazed at how sensitive the people on this board are. Avoid confrontation at all cost, and pretend like the world isn't turning.

I have never thrown personal attacks and I'm not gonna start now. The Republican Party, it's platform, and its minions (in a generalized sense) on the other hand, can blow me. Did you have a nice thanksgiving Dan?

It's only been four days since the thread started and I was away from the computer over the holiday. I know you hate that I dare question the scruples of your appointed Gods of War but damn, cut me some slack would ya'!

poor baby

Organissimo's, can you explain?

I too listen take in the entire recorded history of jazz, but as of late i've been listening mainly to modern improvisation post 65', American and European (Leo, HatHut, Pi, Thirsty Ear, AUM, BYG, ESP, FMP, BVHaast, Emanem etc.)

Leo, definitely.

I will, and I'll thank you in advance....thanks

Can anyone give me their opinion regarding this reissue? It looks incredible, and I've already placed the order, but while I wait for it to arrive I'd love to here what you all think.

Monktail Review

I read almost all the threads and I gain lots of knowledge (thanks everyone), but I do like posting in politics most of all. It's the one place that is always new. Most of the jazz questions were answered a few years back at the BNBB and a lot of discussions have started to repeat themselves. But there are many new board members so it's all good. btw, I won't share my score with ya'll. Pretty pathetic. But I never read the book, so....

http://adale.org/TwentyQuestions.asp Who's got the knowledge?

Well of course you know they started in Chicago (dah). They did recordings under their own names for Delmark (Sound, Song For, As If It Were the Seasons) and a series of recordings with our own Chuck Nessa (Old/Quartet, Numbers 1 & 2, and Congliptious). But they didn't get international acclaim (or acclaim at all frankly) until they went to France in 69'.

I've always thought that Black Napkins from Zoot Allures would be a good tune to play in a group that had traditional jazz instrumentation. Organ trio might be good actually.

I'd start with 'Sound' by Roscoe Mitchell, then go for a BYG, and by then you'll be begging to plop down the bucks for the Nessa set. Sound is what really opened my ears to what the AEC was doing. By the way, I just saw the AEC in Seattle last Tuesday. They played at Jazz Alley and it was 'almost' like ol' times. It was Moye, Mitchell, Favors, Jarman, and a young trumpet player named Cory Wilkes I believe. It was fantastic! It's good to hear Roscoe with a trumpet again. I traded one of our CD's for one of Don Moye's CD's. Had a little chat. They are all such approachable guys. I saw them a few years back when Roscoe was ill. It was just a trio (Bowie, Favors and Moye). Lester really stepped up that night and they dedicated the whole show to Mitchell. In retrospect it was a very special show, getting to see Bowie alone in front. I miss his playing.

Does anybody know where I could find a copy of DECISION IN PARADISE?

That would be the shizzle! No wink after that statement? Kinda scarey. RIP Mr. Lowe

I was lucky enough to attend the last EC & the Attractions performance. It was part of Seattle's Bumbershoot festival in 96'. You had to buy a seperate ticket though. Man! He announced it as their last show at the beginning and said they were gonna 'play a while'. A WHILE? The show went on for over 3 1/2 hours with no intermission. It was the last show of the tour and I would have thought that EC's voice would have been a little shot. But he made the rafters shake! He did a version of 'I Want You' that gave me goose bumbs! I snuck out of my shitty seats and pushed my way to the front. It was probably the best show I have ever seen....They did over 10 encores. The crowd kept callin them back. It was incredible! Can't wait the hear 'North'. Just found a review of that show here: http://ezone.org/ez/e9/articles/goldman/ec.html
