Seems that the final episode of this story has arrived also.

Follow up to the Larry Ochs story. Mr. Jazz Purist, Wynton Marsalis, has inserted himself into the story. First we have the police and courts deciding what is jazz and what isn't, and now Mr. Marsalis wants to reward the fan who started the whole me…

Spanish fan calls police over saxophone band who were just not jazzy enough
Festival-goer claims it was 'psychologically inadvisable' for him to hear Larry Ochs Sax and Drumming Core perform

@Bad Thoughts - Yes, many jazz musicians have played variations on "I Got Rhythm". The Great American Songbook - Gershwin, Kern, Porter, etc. - provided harmonically rich songs which were excellent vehicles for improvisation. And many of them did co…

I have nothing against cowboy music when played by authentic cowboys. All you have to do is look at the cover of Way Out West to see that Sonny
obviously grew up ridin' horses, wranglin' cattle, and gun fightin'. That's why that album is a cla… -

jackedUPjazz - Pike's Peak with Bill Evans on piano actually was issued on cd (Portrait - part of CBS) in 1989 and it is excellent.
I seem to remember a lot more meddling by producers than what I'm hearing in this thread. Basie did 2 Beatles a… -
I don't think there will ever be a new jazz orthodoxy as in the past. There will never be another small handfull of labels like Blue Note/Riverside/Jazzland/Prestige/Impulse churning out genre defining albums as they did in the fifties and sixties. …

For my first post since returning I'll take the bait.
Dave Douglas - Live At The Jazz Standard
Bobby Previte - Set The Alarm For Monday
Jeremy Pelt & Wired - Shock Value - Live At Smoke

# mommio - No, not a Goody Two-Shoes. More like a female version of Dos Equis XX Beer's Most Interesting Man In The World. Sophisticated. Classy.

Ok jonahpwll, who are you working for? The RIAA? Emu's infamous Gang of Two? Dick Cheney? Not Sony, say it ain't so!
If I buy more Michael Jackson, will you turn off the cameras? -
Well, if I am being monitored, tell me what hand gesture I'm giving you right now.
(Mommio's comments are always so nice (yet so perfect) that I feel the need to balance
them out with naughty. Of all the forums I've ever posted in, Momm… -
Yea, SFL is pretty frustrating now. But if you have a very understanding wife and can squeeze in a few Best Buy cards now and then, it's tolerable. (She was aware of my addiction when we got married, and even told me once that she knew I'd still be…

Method Posting is dangerous. I let myself fall way too far into character. This morning I still feel like I climbed down the evolutionary ladder a couple of rungs.

Deadhead protocol would require you to use the words "man" and "awesome' somewhere in the declaration. And more adjectives with CAPITAL LETTERS. More profanity too.
How's this:
The Dead are AWESOME man, I fucking LOVE them! Always have, … -
Wow, Tim, had to read that 3 times to understand it. Basically, tho, ePorn got the equivalent of being Sony-ied just like eMusic, right?
EDIT: I was so focused on understanding the quote that I missed your note at the bottom. So I did understa… -
Plong42 - favorite show or era? I'm primarily focused on the decade from 1968 to 1977, favorite year 1977, with '72 and '69 close behind. First live show recording still my favorite - Barton Hall 050877. Do you prefer soundboards or auds? Do you ha…

Mommio that version of Hurt stopped me in my tracks when I first heard it. What a powerful recording. I've played it for a number of people, all of whom have also been amazed. (Unless they were just humoring me again, I get that a lot. But I don't t…

"And we'll have to steer clear of any Mac discussions around here - then you'll probably see me actually get angry. "
Tempting, tempting...this is the Fight Club forum after all. -
Which do you dislike more, the Dead or Deadheads? I I think dislike for your stereotypical deadhead often makes people dislike the dead more than they would otherwise. It's like Apple fanboyz. They are so insufferable they make people who don't li…

thom, a thousand apologies for my mistake, especially since you view the comment as juvenile. I thought it very amusing, a bit of innocent fun in what
was otherwise a very nasty atmosphere. "Ick" to me says "I think you really have crappy ta… -
I wonder if there's an ePorn, promoting Indie Porn, catering to those with discriminating taste, those who reject the dominance of Big Label Porn.
Somehow I wouldn't be surprised. -
A diamond-encrusted country-club cougar Deadhead. I sense a mini-series in there, I really do.

I never get upset when people don't like my music either. In fact, being a jazz fan for most of my life, I expect it. In a discussion with He Who Must Not Be Named Jr. on the emusic board, someone had the audacity to com… -
# TimMason - I actually started to post to respond to BigD, but then saw your post. I certainly do favor the jazzier side of the Dead, but did include in my post a line acknowledging that the Dead "raided the history of American music for their mate…

I never really liked the Dead during my Rock years (except for American Beauty and Workingman's Dead). Rediscovered them in the 90's after a few decades as a jazz fan and my whole attitude toward the band was different. They are a rock band that kne…

My count is still wrong though. The phantom 8 albums I had saved before the snafu are still there.

thom - what version of Songbird are you using? I think I remember older versions giving people similar problems to what you describe. The current version is 1.2. I discovered foobar2000 before I discovered Songbird and still use it to preview things…

# TimMason - no, never got to see the Beat or the Specials - did those bands cross the pond to the U.S.? They sound like a band that would be great fun live, would have enjoyed seeing them greatly.
