Knowledgeble guy.

Thanks for posting that.

[Nate Dorward]

Baars not Barrs.

[Lazaro Vega]

Thanks Nate.

and Rempis (as, member of Vandermark5) not Renfus.

Nice blindfold test.

Cheers,

Cool read, thanks for posting it, Lazaro. I'd love to hear that James Brown record that he talks about at the end. I also agree with KV that there was a lot more going on in the 1980s than just the neocon movement. I guess that should be rather obvious, but that decade is so often written off as the Age of the Young Lions... I think there is a media distortion of that time in jazz.

Vandermark on Beefheart:

  Quote

There's a lot of Howlin' Wolf in his singing and it's like an abstraction from a blues sensibility.
