Steve Martin, before his first LP when he was on the rise, was just incredible. He was so influential that when you see the old stuff now it's hard to realize how different he seemed at the time. Ah yeah. I saw Steve Martin before "Let's Get Small" came out in Fresno. The other good memor...

Gotta go with dogs and burgers on the Fourth of July, unless you're a fucking communist or something. I'm worse: strict vegetarian*. Not that I don't miss burgers. (Not sure I ever ate hotdogs.) But, as much as "the faithful" rave about roasted vegetables and stuff on holidays, it ain't t...

I'm blessed to have been around at the same time and been able to meet many jazz heroes - basically everyone alive through the mid-1970s - about 60% of the people in the orignal posting. Still, I missed: Cannonball, raconteur Brownie and Wardell - both nice guys, by reputation Duke Ellington, becaus...

I'm guessing he/she's Rocky. Not the fighter. Bullwinkle's friend.

I have to admit I tend to favor smaller ensembles, and even solo recordings, over big bands. Same is true for me in "classical" music too. My idea of a great big band was some of the Mingus groups, which weren't really "big" but sounded big. I agree (love duos especially), but I...

Just a few days into it, I'm likin' this place fine. Don't know about the dancing turd, but otherwise.

Thanks to our hosts.

I s'pose this will be my first confession on this topic: I'm strict vegetarian. So no pie for me. I've got to get by on cobblers (with fake margarine). But fruit pie, a cherished memory from my youth. I'll take fruit anyway I can get it. Easy on that sugar, though.

Led Zeppelin in Oakland, July 1977.

Noooo! Kill me now. Not bike racing. Sh*t was the death of me. I'm humming loudly to myself, a finger jammed in each ear. Hear no evil.

:D Yes, i'm one of the grey-haired last millennium usenet guys. Still looking there for Ron Hearns daily birthday list. As LennyH assumed correctly, i came here via JazzCorner. Ralf, I can't get the the Yahoo group from my work computer, but I THINK there was a discussion about the birthday list ov...

Joe Henderson on http://radyo.itu.edu.tr/ "Our university has been the pioneer on radio and television technologies throughout the country for years, hence, in that direction; ITU Radio, as the first University radio in Turkey, was established and had started regular radio broadcast in 1945. .....

No judgment involved here. On other jazz discussion forums where I've hung out, there have been a few folks not interested in the "avant garde" (for simplicity, say developments since 1960 - late period Coltrane, Bitches Brew and so forth), a few not interested in the very earliest days of...

Hello all together My name is Ralf, i'm from Germany and it w as a loooong way from rec.music.bluenote to jazztalk.net ;) A long way indeed. Glad you are here, Ralf. If you are from the pre-internet/pre-browser days of rec.music.bluenote, I am especially happy to have you around. Being from this er...

Recently finished fourth Bud Powell bio (Pullman's) and am now on Kelly's Monk bio.

Hey Harry. I'll give a wave from my office at Exchange Place in Jersey City.

Good lord! There's still a radio station that plays Jazz?! Actually, I use http://tunein.com/radio/Jazz-c57944/ . A lot of it is "smooth" cr*p, but there are stations from all over the world, some okay. Possibly the best thing about it is that somewhere in the world, it ISN'T time for &qu...

Some have asked. Some have wondered...why Blue Train? My mother's favorite Jazz recording.

Yo' mama....is pretty hip.

I'm Bebop at the "O" board, on AAJ, JazzCorner (RIP), rec.music.bluenote, West Coast Jazz yahoo group...just as I was at Blue Note Bulletin Board, Jazz Central Station and all the rest of 'em, back to when Birds roamed the Earth. Hope to do more participating and less lurking here. Inciden...

WDCB Radio. Better than most.
