I have to admit that I've had Hermeto's "Slaves Mass" on vinyl since it came out, and probably can count the times I've listened to it on one hand. I'll have to remedy that situation soon.

I was trying to download the entire internet last night and it seemed to take FOREVER!

"Live at Leeds" - DEFINITELY a l-o-u-d album.

Geeeeeeez. I almost forgot about THIS one!

Not exactly jazz, but what about the late, great band Morphine??

Excellent, FREE! I'll give it a shot: McCoy Bow-Tyner Oliver Land-of-10,000 Lake Oliver Half-Nelson Woody Rick-Shaw Max Roach Motel

RT was on NPR's "Weekend Edition Sunday" today. It was pretty good, plus he performed 5 tunes - including "Oops, I Did It Again" (yes, THAT Britney Spears tune) Here's the link: Weekend Edition Sunday

Anything by Mountain.

A whole week of GM meetings and only ONE trade. I guess that's the new era of baseball economics. So, A.J. Pierzynski for Joe Nathan. Interesting trade. I think the Twins were trying to save on # of letters stitched to the back of uni's, myself. Next to go: Doug Mientkiewicz.

A sampling from BMGs $1.99 Clearance section: Don Byron - "Romance With The Unseen" Ravi Coltrane - "Moving Pictures" Bob Dorough & Dave Fishberg - "Who's On First?" Tom Harrell - "The Art Of Rhythm" Joe Lovano - "Celebrating Sinatra" Eric Reed - "Manhattan Melodies"

It IS on BMG. I listened to some samples the other day. I've heard a lot about him. Pretty interesting - he does jazz tunes. "Afro Blue", "Oriental Folk Song" and a tune called "Elvin" to name a few.

I'm listening to the DMM LP. I must say that the mastering here contributes to the lack of spark. It's got a real "dull" sound. As mentioned earlier, I wouldn't put it in my top 10 Lee Morgan releases. It's not a dog, but it's not a thoroughbred, either.

It's got a "Low Price" icon attached to it, too!

I really like this album, too. It's very atmospheric - mostly not a high-energy session except for the last 2 cuts. Here's the instrumentation: 1) "Hello To The Wind" - JC-piano/LY-organ 2) "The Orge" - JC-piano, tabla, cymbals/LY-organ, synth 3) "Mind Rain" - JC-piano, cymbals/LY-organ 4) "After the Rain" - JC-piano (solo) 5) "Message from Mars" - JC-drums/LY-organ 6) "Rock Pile" - JC-drums/LY-organ If you can grab this, get it. I don't think it's that easy to find and I also don't believe it has ever been on CD.

I just found out that I don't have this on LP! I think I have a 45 of it, but my singles are packed away. I have her first 3 albums, but it's not there. Looking at AMG, I see it was included on an expanded (CD) version of "Flex". I hadn't realized that it was a Thomas Dolby tune, either.

Great tune, though ....
