How about what some would say is a bit over-produced from some people's standpoint - Sonny Sharrock's Ask the Ages has the best Elvin Jones sound on record. http://tinyurl.com/eek-two You mean in the few instances of its not being drowned out? I like Ask the Ages, but that's quite a statement! ...

http://tinyurl.com/embarrassed-9 It was brought to my attention that this might be a good time for me to start following my team again. I'm finding conflicting definitions of "fair-weather fan." I've never switched my allegiance to a team other than the Pirates---never! Rather, I&...

And putting someone on your "foe" list is EXACTLY the same thing as putting someone on ignore. You won't ever see any posts from that person, nor will they be able to send you a pm. Forsooth, a veritable discrepancy--- UCP → Options → Friends & Foes → Manage foes : Foes are users whic...

LOVE Mary! Man, she is such a cutie. :heart: What a wonderful talent. What does "cutie" have to do with her ability? Do you describe the good-looking male musicians as "handsome?" (where's the "pissed off" icon?) Here, June: :x And for extreme cases: :bomb: Happy to he...

(Re Ingrid Laubrock) . . . to sturdy, accomplished playing (twice with Kris Davis' Capricorn Climber Quintet - although the last time in June, I think - she was overwhelmed and overshadowed by the brilliance of Mat Maneri) Ha! I'd just edited my post above. I probably saw that group wit...

Thank you, Fred! When I heard that JC Speakeasy was closing, my first thought was, "What am I going to do without Fred's list?" Even if I managed to compile a comprehensive list myself, I couldn't necessarily curate it myself. (It's not that I'm urging you to continue,...

Re: Jazz Corner Posters MIA Posted: Fri Jul 05, 2013 | #4 I actually just read a reply from SqD Steve to an email I sent him yesterday. In short, he's fine but busy with real life stuff. He decided to lay off JC before he went on vacation. No bad feelings, just normal forum burn-out. I told him abou...

The fouth member was a sub (who impressed the hell out of me. Who could/could sub in a band playing Pixinguinha and Jacob Do Ba...
