Justin V Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) Welcome, 1/2 Baked! While I'll mourn the loss of the jazz-uniform avatar, I can appreciate a Jetsons reference. Edited October 16, 2014 by Justin V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
His Boy Elroy Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Page and Justin - many thanks, and good to see you both! Page - the art is going . . . ok, I guess. I did just pick up a welder, so I've been having a little fun playing around with that Justin - I might just have to dust off those old duds one of these days . . .

page Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 A welder! Wow, I can imagine it being useful for your sculptures. Well I hope you'll still remember I'll always love to see how you are getting on in the process. I've so much enjoyed that in the past. I've dug up an old painter's easel which was once my brother's and am thinking about trying out some aquarelle and wax crayon. Nothing much, just want to see whether I can do something with it.

niels Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Yes, welcome to the forum! I don't know what the deal is with the AAJ forums, but it's really sad. For me, that was the first forum I discovered while getting into jazz (I was more a reader than an active poster though), but in recent times I visited it less and less. The way they made the forum almost impossible to find from the main page of the AAJ website, and the way they just seem to refuse to communicate to the members when the forum is down (again), really leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I find it a disdain for you're audience, and it does make me feel that the forum users are not really welcome over there. It would be nice if some more members would cross over to this board, because there where some users who always had some nice recommendations on new releases (like Alphyus, Robmid, DDS Chicago, etc.).

If you happen to know these folks email addresses, I would be more than happy to extend an invite to join us here. Not a problem on this end.

mjazzg Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Welcome to the board, HB Elroy.I came over from AAJ a few years back and haven't missed it (tbh I got fed up with all the linked AAJ reviews, often by just one person - it seemed to have become just plugging the main site in so many threads).I recognise the ID's in Niels post from some time back and it would be good to see them over here.

xybert Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Not to single people out too much (as i'm sure we'd be forgetting some other cool regulars) but i'd really like to see Hutchfan and Walkin' (sp) over here. I don't think that it would hurt to have any of the AAJ regulars from the last few years that i can think of join here... all in all a good bunch.

His Boy Elroy Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Thanks again, all. Page - please share your work when you get up and running with that easel. 'Would love to see it Niels and mj - I know exactly what you both mean. I've had quite similar thoughts. I don't mean to pile on AAJ - some very good people over there, both behind the scenes and on the forums. Mike's done a lot of good things on the main site, and that's clearly where his focus has been. Unfortunately, the board hasn't been a priority, and it's suffered. The lack of communication has been a burr in my side, as well. A switch was long in the making . . . 'Would definitely love to see some of the names mentioned make their way over here. This seems like a very good board, with a lot of knowledgeable folks. 'Appreciate, again, the welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddha the Magnificent Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 AAJ Forum refugee Buddha checking in. I spent several years over there trying to figure out whose tastes and recommendations were similar to mine, and now I get to frackin' start all over again, LOL! Oh, well, that's life. Hey, y'all!

jazzbo Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Be careful though. Jory Miller sometimes makes an appearance, and there was a Palmer Eldritch sighting. Edited October 22, 2014 by jazzbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Back a while we had Jazz Corner, All about Jazz and the Blue Note board. The BN board imploded and Organissimo forum was created by Jim Alfredson. Some of the BN folks tried JC and AAJ but settled here. Now Organissimo seems to be the last outpost for this kind of thing. Hope we can keep it going. Anyone remember Jazz Central Station? Edited October 22, 2014 by Chuck Nessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I do. I was told I "smelled like poo poo" there. That's when I switched from eau de toilette to after shave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catesta Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Jazz Corner and Blue Note were my first but JC didn't work for me. BN was a blast. Didn't Downbeat have forums at one time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I do. I was told I "smelled like poo poo" there. That's when I switched from eau de toilette to after shave. I wondered what that odor was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
