Jim Alfredson Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 Not at all. In fact, you can post multiple reviews under pseudonyms if you'd like, contradicting yourself all the way! FIVE STARS! Organissimo is the bomb-diggity! Dan Gould, FL ONE STAR! Organissimo sucks the dumb-biggity! Gan Dould, CA Quote
Jazzmoose Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 Hah! I know that one's a fake...we haven't received them in California yet! Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 Really? Dang. Speaking of shipping, all international orders went out today. I apologize for the delay but it's hard to get to the PO with a 15 month old hanging off you for all the waking hours of the day! Thankfully my sister-in-law came over today to allow me to jet to the PO real quick. So, all pre-orders are shipped! If you don't receive yours in a reasonable amount of time, let me know! Thanks to all who pre-ordered! It really helped us out a lot! Quote
CJ Shearn Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 hey Jim, I'll write a review soon myself, but............ was the take of "Smoking Section" unsatisfactory to you guys? cuz at the end I hear "that one sucked, we need to tape it over" the take sounded fine to me. Quote
Joe G Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 That was Randy. He dropped his stick towards the end of the guitar solo. Quote
CJ Shearn Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 LOL Joe. Jazz at its best, fuckups caught on tape, live and unedited. thats funny tho. I like the raw sound of the record too. I really love jazz albums that are cut live in the studio for the most part, captures a lot of the interaction of the moment. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 Yep, if you listen closely you can hear the stick dropping right before Randy stops playing. Joe was burning though, so we didn't want to stop the take. Quote
CJ Shearn Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 nice. I'll listen for it in headphones. Quote
randissimo Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 nice. I'll listen for it in headphones. ← Oh man! .. A stick fumble frozen in time.. I'll never live it down.. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 nice. I'll listen for it in headphones. ← Oh man! .. A stick fumble frozen in time.. I'll never live it down.. ← It shows our humanity and the fact that we're not gods... yet. Quote
Dan Gould Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 CD Baby arrived today! Yipeee!!!! And they knew what part of the order was important as This Is The Place was right on top as I pulled the CDs out of the mailer. Gotta get a couple of errands done but I expect to be parked in front of the stereo about 2 pm, hopefully giving me time to post before I have to head to work. Quote
Dr. Rat Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 (edited) nice. I'll listen for it in headphones. ← Oh man! .. A stick fumble frozen in time.. I'll never live it down.. ← It shows our humanity and the fact that we're not gods... yet. ← Or maybe you are gods, and you are heartlessly manipulating this by feigning a sort of human fallibility in order to test our faith and loyalty.

Stefan Wood Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 Hey, ya mispelled my name when autographing it! Other than that, the music is great! Great job! Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 Hey, ya mispelled my name when autographing it! Other than that, the music is great! Great job! ← We did!?!?? Crap. I'll pass the blame onto Joe since he was doing the inscriptions. Lousy gee-tar players!!! But seriously, sorry. If you want another booklet with the correct signature, we can do that. Quote
Dan Gould Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 Well, this puppy has gotten the first of what promises to be many, many listens, and the simplest way to put it is: BRAVISSIMO!!! I was going to reacquaint myself with Boogaloo Sisters to confirm, but one listen told me it was so: the growth of the band is simply phenomenal, both in the playing and the song writing, and you were pretty darn good before! Have you guys considered putting a short EP together to send to Blue Note or another major label? I have to believe that a record this strong would get their attention. My only nits: Not a fan of Zappa so I could have done without his tune. Loved the artwork, kudos to Noj, but I did find it difficult to read the liners with the way the booklet was printed. Quote
Joe G Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 Thank you, Dan. It's nice to see that people are hearing growth! :rsmile: Quote
7/4 Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 Thank you, Dan. It's nice to see that people are hearing growth! :rsmile: ← I heard it! Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 I've been meaning to put the liner notes online since I know they're kinda hard to read. We had a limited space and increasing it would've cost a lot more, so we had to make the typeface small. But thank you for the kinda words! We really appreciate it! Quote
Jazz Kat Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 Hey Jim, got the first cd yesterday! Took it to my drum teacher, because we usually jam along to a cd. He loved it! He's going to show your music to his friend Jeff Palmer, (b-3) who he actually recorded with on an album called Burnin the Blues. He said, "Man, Jeff would dig this!" He was tripping ova Meet Me @ 11. We finally figured that the song goes 1*2*3*4*5, 1*2*3*4*5*6. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 So your drum teacher is Bob Leto? I have "Burning The Blues"... it's a pretty cool record! Jeff Palmer is nutty! In a good way. Glad you like the disc. Quote
Jazz Kat Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 Yep, you know Bobby! He lives a couple blocks away from me. Yeah Leto and Palmer are gonna be recording a new album soon. He'll be shocked to find out you know him! He was like "who are these guys! But they can play!" Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 I just know him from the recording. It's a neat record that I picked up on a whim. The only other recording I have of Palmer is his AudioQuest release. He reminds me a lot of Larry Young. Leto would probably dig the end track on "Waiting For The Boogaloo Sisters..." as well -- Decoder. The new one has some odd time signature stuff on it, too. That's great that they'll be heading into the studio soon. Have him join the board and fill us in on the details!!! Quote
Jazz Kat Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 Yeah, I told him about the website. I'll tell him he got a personal invitation, maybe that'll give him some motivation. Alfredson! Come down to NY and jam with us! Quote
scottb Posted August 10, 2005 Author Report Posted August 10, 2005 I've come up with potential titles for next two tunes in the Clap Yo Hands, Stomp Yo Feets series. Nod Yo Head Shake Yo Rump The series has included guest sax players and for next two I suggests: Joshua Redman Kenny G Quote
