Blue Train, Coltrane and Ah Um, Mingus.

Are you sure you're not me? Coltrane of course, but I love, love Mingus. Perhaps the second greatest jazz composer after Ellington, though I actually prefer Mingus. Ah, Um is such a profoundly great album. Obviously Good Bye Pork Pie Hat is the masterpiece here, but such great stuff like Boogie Stop Shuffle and the social commentary work Fables of Fabus makes this a most own album. And I bet you dig that cover by S. Neil Fujita who also did Brubeck's Take Five cover.

PS, yes I saw Mingus. Are you familiar with the sad Mingus documentary Charlie Mingus 1968? This IMDB description says it all, "A close-up of bass player and composer Charlie Mingus as he and his five-year-old daughter await eviction by the City of New York."

I spent time in the South this week. Wink


Do you like other Southern rock? Dickey Betts and his band is doing a double bill with the Outlaws here. I'd be tempted to check that out.


I'm not sure I really know what Southern rock is, really. I was in Atlanta last week and heard them playing in an elevator. Smile

As you know, Texas is not part of the South, but the Allman Bros. were part of my college experience. Wink

Oh? All my civil war history books need to be updated I guess.

I'm not sure I really know what southern rock is either. There are some fairly obvious southern rock bands though: lynrd skynrd, outlaws, molly hatchet, allman brothers, 38 special. I like quite a bit of it, although I've never warmed to LS. I saw 38 special when i was in high school and it was a great show. I'd like to see Dickey Betts I think - he wrote several of my favorite Allman Brothers songs.

Trust me, the South stops in Louisiana. There is nothing southern about Texas, and nothing Texan about the South.

Remember, Texas did not join the USA until 1845.

When I think of the South, I think Virgina and Robert E. Lee, and when thinking deep South, I think of Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi.

And when you think of Canada you think of the Dok, the Montreal gang, and me..... Ack Big Grin
Listened to some Mozart chamber music earlier...oboe quartet, a horn Quintet, and something called "A Musical Joke," an inside joke, perhaps, on a peasant band he saw.

Along with some Vivaldi concertos. Some might critique as simplistic, but I love his Mandolin concerto. Try stringing up and tuning one of those little f..kers and get back to me.

Agreed, and my wife showed me the "alternative" video for the song on YouTube a couple days ago. Nice scenery. Woot


Ho chi mama! I bet they enjoyed making that video.

I hear that the Marvin Gaye estate is planning on suing Robin Thicke as that song sounds a lot like a Marvin Gaye song (not sure which One)
