"Actual Proof" is the second tune off "Thrust", even better is the live version on the import, "Flood".

was Loueke a lead player and Mayer primarily backup ala Wah Wah Watson or Blackbird McKnight? do you remember the setlist? did they do "Actual Proof"?

thank you Guy .

was Herbie playing his digital versions of the Rhodes and Clavinet? they actually sound pretty good, that virtual instrument stuff he used on the F2F tour. How was Lionel Loueke on guitar? he really impressed me on Blanchard's new record.

aren't there exceptions to the removal of standards in the repertoire, such as some 1969 gigs? I remember seeing something in Losin's discography.

haha, true.

Kari, grab the disc? any thoughts?

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jim, for that matter in either UFC, Pride or K-1(kickboxing) might would get creamed.... can someone say Jerome LeBanner or Gary Goodridge(his chin sucks, but he can hit)

happy belated birthday Kevin, the person who offered me a real copy of Cool Blues when it was OOP..... If only I could return the favor a few years later with something.

hmm, shouldn't this be moved to Musicians' forum Jim? some of this is way over my head, interesting, but wouldn't it be better in the musicians forum area? now I'm gonna go listen to that "Luny Tune" solo and see if I can get a handall on what y'all are Talkin About

ooh, how big was it?

Mark Ledford (RIP) vocals, guitar, keyboards, sax, trumpet, percussion Richard Bona- vocals, guitar, keyboards, percussion, bass Chick Corea- piano, drums Pat Metheny (yep, Pat) guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, percussion (most of these he plays himself on Secret Story, as well as bass on some ECM stuff, also plays additional keyboards on Anna Maria Jopek's "Upojenie" in addition to guitar) Keith Jarrett-piano, sax, orgasmic yells John Patton- organ and tambourine

I wish I could go! Yet another new place opened for live music here, mostly a lot of so-so local acts but someone should bring Pat's trio, Kenny Garrett and Organissimo :-D

Pat Metheny: We Live Here, First Circle, Trio Live, The Way Up Terence Blanchard: Flow Blakey: Free For All Jimmy Smith: The Boss Kenny Garrett: Songbook Jeff "Tain" Watts: Detained at the Blue Note

Ed, the PMG is doing a free show July 9th to close out the fest.

oh yeah, I noticed that feet crushing gravel sample in "Wadagbe" was on "Dis is Da Drum", which I thought was alright, but I like this album much better, great playing and tunes, a very layered effort too I think. Anybody else liking/not liking this record?

Kari, you will be pleased. Herbie plays an unbelievable solo on "The Source", IMO his best on record in recent years.

I picked this up last night, I like Terence but not having heard his first for BN, I bought it, I think this is the only time I've bought an album for a producer credit. and what a band. A very unique album, at points hinting at Mwandishi, the playing is nice, "Wadagabe" is pretty cool, as well as "Over There" which sucked me in b/c of its Metheny like build. I think Herbie's production influence is felt more in the said Mwandishi ish ness of cuts like "Wadagabe", and the world influence in many tracks. The man himself lights it up on "The Source", something about Herbie's trills make me scream out loud in ecstacy!!! Any other opinions of this one? oh yeah, whats with that whiny synth sound found on Snoop Dogg's early stuff (isn't that deriveed from P-Funk anyway that whiny synth sound) popping up on albums these days? even Lyle Mays uses it (to subtle effect) on "The Way Up"

I have it, and enjoy it, maybe one of the few things I've heard this year that is outstanding. One criticism tho, I think Rosenwinkel's compositions are very interesting, at this point they seem more about his head then heart. "Use of Light" and "Brooklyn Sometimes" as well as "The Cross" are tunes I can find a couple melodic hooks in. I bought "Heartcore" the same day too...... thats a head trip!

thanks! I shouldn't have but I ordered Dexter's "Carnegie Hall Complete"

he sounds ok, nothing spectacular. just hit his site and was greeted with a smooth tune doesn't mix with the other tracks on the CD in a good way, unfortunately.

ok, ok ok, can we go back to the topic please?

thanks for the correction Dan.

happy basude!!!!!!!!!!!!
