I meant the EU and not the UK...and then there is the whole ....was it the portugese/italiens/vikings debate but yes the dutch were allowed to come along too!

Sounds fun to me. he always had a healthy disrespect for the old toffs over here which was always refreshing. Hey , seeing as both he and Lonnie Smith did a Hendrix thing...they could be brought together on Blue Note for some weird retake on Think!....now would n't that groove!

Sure would. I wish I could travel to see that lot play. Hope someone records it on film at least for others to enjoy and remember later. It would be a shame if that did not happen for this.

Seems a little sad that it degenerated into some anti EU thing I must admit. leaves a nasty taste in the mouth. need to stop this EU vs US rivalry Especially as we stole the country ( from the original people) for you in the first place :0~

Oh yes I understand that and accept that we cannot be blind to the group and or Sun Ra's sexuality. Him and his music are of course influenced by who he was as a person- goes without saying My point is that the interest seemed not to be in the politics of this issue but more the nudge nudge wink wink attitude that seemed to be dominant in these threads not about the politics behind him or his music. Puerile, finger pointing and sniggering about men together in a house does not add to anything thats all.

Fact or fiction , I spy the increasing cult of leering at others private lives going on here. Never had an opinion one way or another about Sun Ra's music and this adds nothing to the picture. (still like the track- nuclear war though!)

One day, when I can get round to learning how to do it, I want to burn myself a CD with those six tracks on it. I just cannot imagine the rationale behind breaking up that album and issuing it as two extra bits to completely unrelated albums. MG

The Muppets exploring music as only they could I remember watching this years and years ago and the tune stuck with me ever since......too see it again.......*sniff* made me all sentimental

that I have to admit was very very funny

What a totally adorable babe she was. Wow! gosh

Oh Come on you all still wear those dungerees don't ya?

I would love to hear more FACTS about Grant Green ayway DMP ......anymore from when you saw em live would be great.

Yawn Can you tone down the language or learn some new words?

done this already myself as my phone as bluetooth connection. I can send my fav mp3 to the phone and make it my ring tone.I had the sidewinder and then got bored of waiting for the trumpet so stuck Quincy Jones' Soul Bossa Nova on ( the one from Austin Powers) ..now on the music from the film Amelie. It is dead simple now the technology is there and there was nothing nicer than a little bit of Alligator Boogaloo as a ring tone AND ITS FREE!

buy it if you want to listen to it, if not leave it alone for some other individual to listen to. As for numbers, I think was discussed previously on this board during one your periods of absence so have a search about

ooops sorry .....got in the way there...CONTACT WALT!

and I too am glad to see these being reissued

I assumed that he was talking about Blue Note, since he'd mentioned Lee and Hank previously. I could be wrong in my assumption.

I doubt the wisdom of sentences like "i like duke pearson more than all of u thats why i want it" as they are similar to what my kids come out with when they want some sweets and there is not enough. in answer to your questions do a search on JRVGs vs RVGs to get the answer to your quest. Just be patient and I am sure a nice cd will turn up for you to BUY

Yes I picked up the Impulse side quick as a flash when it was reissued a while ago....really liked it too. Thanks also for the heads up about the Leo Wright side...did not know about that and so will go and find it

Wow.....that would be worth attending. Is there anyway we can help to publiscise it with our contacts etc. Hope it can get recorded or even filmed for prosperity......wonder who they will get in.....would it be too much to ask George Braith?

well......yes although look how many people here would never have met other Blue Note or Hard Bop or Soul Jazz mateys like we have here. The only difference with a shop was that I used to ( when I was younger) get recommendations from the guy who worked at Decoy Records (in Manchester) then to try this or that and he would give it a spin ....and then I would develop my tastes elsewhere.

Aint that sweet ................he is your pal now obviously Was this per chance on the list? Do tell

I concur with the honorable gentleman I have to say its a crackin little cd...got it when it came out ....erm was it as part of the rare groove thing or just a us issue ........cannot remember now... here for those who do not have the cd/lp/ is the cover

tell her it has a virus on it! outrageous ........what ever will they demand next. as for more BJP to listen to I would have to invite you to listen to the Boogaloo Cd and not enjoy any of the tracks on there. I also think Blue John is a crackin lp that is underestimated AND it has George Braith on it too
