  1. Poison: Behind the Music,
  2. it is a great album. Incidentally I downloaded a smoking Jimmy Smith trio set from Newport in 1959 from Wolfgang's Vault.
  3. Amen to that
  4. RIP
  5. I'd make a strong case Beyond the Wall, and Standard of Language are Kenny's best records. His playing on "Five Peace Band Live" by Chick, makes up for Sketches of MD methinks.
  6. far better than the most recent KG live album "Sketches of MD"
  7. Donald is one of my all time fav. drummers, I hope he gets well soon. I was really digging his playing on "Open House" the other day.
  8. CJ Shearn

    Joe Lovano

    get better Joe!
  9. is that EMI release all of Bechet's BN material?
  10. Maureen Sickler? RVG's assistant
  11. while I'm listening to Jackie Mac's "Jack Knife" might as well mention the oft cited "Monuments". Never heard it and don't want to. "Feets Don't Fail Me Now" by Herbie Hancock, and virtually anything from the Columbia period not released in Japan save "VSOP" and "The Quintet". "Sit On It", "Unfinished Business" and "The Cat Strikes Again" by JOS. "Stone Blue" by Pat Martino, mostly b/c for 1997 theres horribly dated synths, namely gratuitous use of the DX7.
  12. LOL, sicko! I knew you'd say that. Seriously, it's cool Down Home With the Neely's is kind of softcore tho, maybe it should have a TV MA rating
  13. Jim, you know I'm interested! I love electronic/ambient stuff.
  14. Lars Ulrich, Tommy Lee, Joey Jordison
  15. lol. yeah, I was surprised it wasn't generic music, he was getting stuff out of the oven and it was playing.
  16. "Alfie" on Down Home With the Neely's, no shit!
  17. That solo counterpoint at the soundcheck was "Ode to Joy"? I didn't recognize how deconstructed it was! The clip of him at home playing piano was nmice too with his son providing "accompaniment". Jimmy was very Monkish on piano with some Cecil Taylor esque flourishes. JOS was trying to become more popular with his audience, but the stuff he was playing showed that unbelievable depth some people don't realize he had.
  18. me too on the Fantasy box.. oh well
  19. the documentary reinforces how much of a genius JOS was and it's before he got totally sour about things. I liked how he lectured that critic saying "you can't say Dizzy doesn't know his horn" and the recording session footage of "Got My Mojo Working" at RVG's was great. LOL, funny being able to go "yeah, thats the alternate of "Satisfaction". The Bach like counterpoint at the soundcheck was mindboggling too.
  20. some dude on Amazon panned it for some messy ensemble work and what he thought was the band not together.
  21. yes, the boot is from that time, I got it from DIME a few years back. It's a perfect soundboard from Germany, and Jimmy is playing without pedals because they forgot to bring the B-3 pedal board! I've never heard the official album, but part of it has been on CD right? I did have one of the Newport in New York volumes when I was a kid it was on Cobblestone's cheap subsidiary Kory.
