How about this one: "Internet community of jazz loving computer-literate music fans with access to the world wide web and large collections of jazz that discuss, pontificate, and generally eschew upon the delicacies of said music while surfing the web in cyberspace land". Now that's some inefficient shiz-nit, beeeeatch!

Anything with Sarah Brightman on it should be sent back to the hellfire from whence it came.

Damn... kicked my ass!

I would just like to mention that my college buddies and I did this game in the van on the way to Florida. Obviously, since we were driving, we weren't drinking, but it was fun nevertheless. It wasn't strictly jazz musicians either, since I was the only guy who liked that music anyway. But I have to say that I kicked everyone's ass at that game. Mainly by naming musicians they never heard of. They kept saying, "You're just making this shit up!" and then I'd give a short biography of the artist I just named.

Nat Adderley

Yo, welcome to the hiz-zouse, b... hope you like da crib.

What thread do we want to give the axe?

Good to know you're still kickin' life in the ass. When it rains it pours, eh?

Yay! You used my new emoticon!!!

Hey Joe, what about that Billy Squire video?

That's too bad. No accounting for taste.

Well, if you haven't heard the MXL mics I strongly suggest you order a MXL2001 mic pack (which includes the 2001 and the 603S) and try them out. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. The engineer who suggested them to me is very trustworthy and has incredible ears. He designs studios and monitor speakers in his "spare" time and like I said before, owns a pair of every expensive mic you can name. I trust his judgement and by his account, you can get one helluva mic for $150! They are worth checking out by anyone, but especially someone on a tight budget.

Or maybe... just a thought... we can not worry about 50 year old recordings and start buying new music!!

Thank you Chuck. Much obliged.

Does anyone here on the board know how to contact Bob Porter?

Baby got back!

Dood, Loc'd After Dark is TIGHT, bro!

I emailed Guy about doing an organ summit of some sort to raise money for this cause. I know that Organissimo would be honored to participate and I imagine other organists/organ groups would be as well.

Ladies and gentlemen please welcome my mentor and one of the baddest organ players around, Mr. Doug Decker to the forums!!!! So you're in Honolulu right now? For how long? We used the direct box last night at Billy's and put it through the main PA for bass. IT ROCKED!!!!!!!

Young Buck, How exciting! Nice list of gear. I would only suggest that you look at the MXL Condensor Mic package that many retailers are selling. It includes a MXL2001 large diaphragm condenser and a MXL603S small diaphragm condenser. The MXL2001 is comparable to the Rode NT1000 and the MXL603S is comparable to the Rode NT5. The pack costs around $150 for BOTH mics. That means you could get two packs for around $300 and have two small diaphragm condensors for drum overheads, etc and two large diaphragm condensers, instead of spending almost $500 and getting three mics. I'm sure you can get a matched pair of the MXL603S. You might have to order directly from the manufacturer, though. Or let me know. The engineer who recorded my trio record is a distributor and can get them very inexpensively. MXL Web Site These mics are very highly recommended and sound as good if not better than the Rodes. The aforementioned engineer who recorded our album has every expensive mic you can think of and raves about the MXLs. He did side-by-side comparisons between the 2001 and a Neumann U87 and although the Neumann still beats the MXL, he says that they are very very similair in sound and it's as close as you can get without spending mucho $$$$. Just food for thought.

I'll take the Lazar. Sent you a PM.

I got this one after much searching as well. Since it's out of print I don't feel bad offering a CD-R dub of it. Good stuff. I need to get his latest.

Summary: Jazzhound thinks it sucks, RonF thinks it's good. End of discussion. Enough name calling. Have a nice day!

Shit, $125 is nothing to scoff at. Joe and I got $50 a piece for backing up a singer last Thursday. Actually, he's the same singer that fronts the R&B band I'm in. We were doing simple standards. He's got a great voice, but there were some key issues going on... ie, he started singing some tunes in the wrong key... then couldn't get his bearings... I'm hoping some rehearsals will do some good. I know he can sing this stuff... it's just that awkward first gig. Speaking of singers, I hate it when people think it's kareoke time and try to push themselves up on the bandstand.
