Jazzmoose Posted August 9, 2004 Report Posted August 9, 2004 WTF??? I spent the whole time the board was down in agony because I couldn't read this thread....? Quote
JSngry Posted August 9, 2004 Author Report Posted August 9, 2004 This is odd...My original post has been lost, butthe thread remains. Anyway, for an album that's not yet been released, it sure seems that everybody's heard it and loves it: http://www.bluenote.com/detail.asp?SelectionID=10344 Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted August 9, 2004 Report Posted August 9, 2004 and read the MMW release coming in a month ... there are even folks from the "axeees of eeephil" that have heard it already!!!! blue note is slowing catching on the the "Dusty Groove meets Thom Jurek at Downtown Music Gallery" novellas.

Jim Alfredson Posted August 9, 2004 Report Posted August 9, 2004 This is odd...My original post has been lost, butthe thread remains. Anyway, for an album that's not yet been released, it sure seems that everybody's heard it and loves it: http://www.bluenote.com/detail.asp?SelectionID=10344 So you caused the crash!!!!! AHA!!!! Banned. Seriously, I was talking with my server guy and he said the crashes are being caused by some tables in the database getting messed up. He said it's probably due to some code in this software not meshing completely with MySQL (which is the database protocol). Version 2.0 of the board software is out, but they have yet to release an upgrade path from 1.3 to 2.0 so I'm still waiting. Quote
JSngry Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Posted August 10, 2004 Any idea why it almost always happens on Friday nights? Quote

JSngry Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Posted August 10, 2004 And that's too bad, becasue I have no reason to believe that this will NOT be a perfectly fine record on its own terms. I've always like Anita Baker for those "quiet storm" moments in my personal life. Quote
chris olivarez Posted August 10, 2004 Report Posted August 10, 2004 Well let's hope that Anita overcomes all this phony hype. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted August 10, 2004 Report Posted August 10, 2004 Now for the real embarrassing part...the reason I wanted to read the thread so badly was simply a brain fart...could have sworn that said "O'Day", not "Baker"... Quote
Bill Nelson Posted August 10, 2004 Report Posted August 10, 2004 I've always regarded Anita Baker as THE successor to Sarah Vaughan. (And I've experienced both live and close-up.) Perhaps Bruce L. will provide Anita the future album project where she gets to select and sing her favorite jazz standards. THAT would bring it all back home to Sassy. Quote
bertrand Posted August 10, 2004 Report Posted August 10, 2004 Dewey Redman told me once when I saw him play at One Step Down that he thought Anita Baker would make a great jazz singer. I had to admit I didn't know that much of her music, but this is the kind of thing I would take Dewey's word on. Bertrand. Quote
mikeweil Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 Dewey Redman told me once when I saw him play at One Step Down that he thought Anita Baker would make a great jazz singer. I had to admit I didn't know that much of her music, but this is the kind of thing I would take Dewey's word on. Bertrand. He's perfectly right about this - but I'm afraid her ideas about her career are against it. Quote
JSngry Posted August 12, 2004 Author Report Posted August 12, 2004 Lundvall is on record as saying that Baker will do a "jazz" (or maybe it was "standards") album for BN. Quote
mikeweil Posted April 7, 2010 Report Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) I've always regarded Anita Baker as THE successor to Sarah Vaughan. (And I've experienced both live and close-up.) Perhaps Bruce L. will provide Anita the future album project where she gets to select and sing her favorite jazz standards. THAT would bring it all back home to Sassy. She sings "You've Changed" on this DVD, as a simple duo with Bobby Lyle on piano, and it is fantastic ... it gives an impression of what a no-nonsense standards CD would be like. She's great on that DVD, in all respects, sings great, really owns her songs, moves great, looks great ... Turns out she did but two discs for Blue Note, one soul/pop and one with Christmas songs - has anybody heard these and cares to comment? Edited April 7, 2010 by mikeweil Quote
