$1 a song is WAY too much. Considering in my first $10 month at emusic I have downloaded nearly 300 songs...

I have this one and it really didn't grab me. I'd also like to read more Phineas suggestions...

:rsmile: Kofi, Electric Byrd, and Ethiopian Knights--all cool, Kofi is my favorite of the three--particularly the title track and "Loud Minority."

mp3 sound quality aside, get... Hampton Hawes NORTHERN WINDOWS PLUS--excellent! :rsmile:

Speaking of Wes, I had previously mentioned that I love the alternate version of "Bumpin On Sunset" on this one...

Gerald Wilson

There was a post from him a while back explaining that he has personal issues to deal with which will prevent him from posting as frequently.

Got Blackstone Legacy last night, along with the other Woody Shaw studio album emusic offers. One listen has confirmed your advice was sound, ralphie_boy and AfricaBrass! "New World" was my immediate favorite. :rsmile: This morning:

Nice mixes MWTGA! I've been downloading virtually the same tracks.. :rsmile:

You're welcome! I've been doing the same thing with emusic. I have hundreds of cds of mp3 albums that I've downloaded. The problem is: I don't have all the cds labeled, so I don't know what's on them. OOOF!!! I've been tediously labelling each track to help that problem. Did you check out the Kool & The Gang album they have? Now that is some FUNK! Lee Fields is funky too, even though he is a James Brown clone...

Thanks AfricaBrass. Emusic, I'm PILLAGING those guys. :rsmile:

yo ralphie_boy! Would you recommend Blackstone Legacy? I've been eyeing it... I've been listening to "Legends Of Acid Jazz" discs for Gene Ammons, Houston Person, and Sonny Stitt.

Anyone have them all? If so, please brag.

I agree! B) B) I think Chris Potter played a bit of it on Dave Douglas' Miles-esque The Infinite rel. 2002. Potter also played it on his Traveling Mercies. Don Byron has (naturally) played it. Maupin himself played a bit on his (most recent) release, the duo album with Pat Gleeson from 1998. BTW, has anyone heard Maupin's funky 70's stuff on Mercury? Like Slow Traffic To The Right and Moonscapes - what are they like? I have Slow Traffic To The Right and I really dig it. Similar to Herbie Hancock's electric/Headhunters-type stuff. I haven't heard Moonscapes. :rsmile:

http://home.t-online.de/home/stamil/bmmtor.htm Oh well, here's a Ben Maup discog.

Darn it, is this another one of my threads that will go the way of the dodo? Cleveland eatin'? A bowl of chili?

I love the Headhunters, and have his album Slower Traffic To The Right. I would love to read other leader or side man recommendations for Mr. Maupin.

Jim Thorpe? Jesse Owens? I think there were too many atheletes to pick an athelete of the century, it would be better to pick them by sport: Basketball: Wilt (50 and 25 for a season) Kareem (sky hook, 'nuf said) Oscar (triple double for a season) Magic (won NBA title as a rookie, playing all five positions) Jordan (unstoppable, period) others: Bill Russell, Jerry West, Dr. J, Zeke, Bird & McHale, Maravich, Moses Malone, Shaq & Kobe, Stockton & Malone... Baseball: Babe Ruth Ty Cobb Mickey Mantle Joe DiMaggio Barry Bonds others: Pete Rose, Nolan Ryan, I don't know baseball well enough... Football: Jim Brown Joe Montana John Elway Walter Payton OJ Simpson others: Jerry Rice, Lynn Swann, Johnny Unitas, Mean Joe Green, help me out... Boxing: Muhammad Ali Rocky Marciano Joe Frazier Joe Louis Mike Tyson others: Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard, ??? Skateboarding (for shits and giggles): Rodney Mullen Tony Hawk Steve Caballero Jamie Thomas Guy Mariano others: Steve Alba, Christian Hosoi, Matt Hensley, Erik Koston, Dae Won Song, Bob Burnquist... Agree/disagree?

:rsmile:

Thanks Lon. I'm more partial to songs I have heard on Harlem Bush Music than the song "Music Is My Sanctuary." :rsmile:

I have the title track from the Gary Bartz and it is OK. I'm wondering, is the rest of the album better (less singing maybe)?

Phil Upchurch

Just out of curiosity, is there a total number of Blue Notes?

If you start bad enough topics (as I have been known to do) they tend to delete themselves. I think B-3er plays Kevorkian to threads that drop with few replies... :rsmile:
