A third possibility would be to allow politics-related threads to be posted in the Alley. Lois eventually decided to stop doing that on JC, but I don't remember what circumstances, if any, prompted her decision. I'm neutral on that third possibility, and I'm using the poll to vote (...

I haven't---not that I would---but since reading your post, I've Googled for recent statements to that effect several times and haven't seen any.

Marian McPartland has died at age 95. Is there anyone who didn't love her? And imagine how many people she exposed to good jazz! I saw her play live once at some point in my youth. Here's a currently working link to a memorial broadcast on NPR.org: Twilight World: Remembering Marian McPartl...

Knowing very little about him but having heard a few albums on which he appears, I always thought of him as a class act too.

R.I.P.

I heard a long interview with him on the NPR syndicated show "Sound Opinions" and found him to be a bright guy and it was very interesting to hear him discuss what he listened to as he he developed as a musician. The interview with Johnny Marr (live in the studio on 7/19/2013) sta...

Is there actually a site called doofus dot com? Oh, nevermind. :silly: No, that's a good question. I don't know, but if there actually is such a site, it's awfully slow to load. I've been waiting for nine hours. http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/39.gif

Steve Wilson organized the evening and served as leader/MC. I don't think I remember all the pianists who played. Some highlights were Cyrus Chestnut, Matthew Fries, Bill Charlap, Anthony Wonsey, Johnny O'Neal, and (my favorite) Kenny Barron. Other musicians who played: Russell Malone, Ray Drummond...

Another one by Leroy Carr with Scrapper Blackwell (guitar) -- "Mean Mistreater Mama." I'm guessing that Robert Johnson had heard this record in particular. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63EEKicHkSY http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3692/9504472007_3fd91ae266.jpg

For the purposes of this thread, it's Leroy Carr with Scrapper Blackwell (guitar) -- "Alabama Woman Blues." It was anthologized early on and so has long been dear to me.

John Edwards is a British free improvisation bassists who is pretty much the go to guy in that free improv scene.

How would you feel about having the thread title be something broader, such as "Unwelcome comments"? (You could add "after a home-improvement project" at the end of post #1.) If we can't edit our own thread titles, a Jazztalk overlord could do it. Then this comment w...
