Something of a first here … I’m posting while recording a jazz concert. Using a computer-based recording system, hooked up to some guy’s wifi.

Cool. When you guys book new clients, do you go out and watch them play live? Probably a dumb quesiton.

by tabler84 on May 3, 2008 10:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

I like to, but you’d be surprised, a lot times we don’t end up seeing an artist live until the CD release event. For others, seeing them live initiates the relationship. And many artists feel it’s really important that you would bother to come see them — something I actually agree with.

by Jay on May 3, 2008 10:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

My little not-at-all-serious acoustic project is going to record this year, and the dude from the studio has been out to see us. We felt it was pretty cool.

I don’t know, he’s been playing the hell out of that double-bass for the better part of three hours now.

I’ve heard but not extensively listened to Parker but I love Baraka and Dave Burrell is one of my favorite pianists.

Really nice guy, too.

by Jay on May 3, 2008 10:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

I really like his Little Huey Orchestra stuff, and his quartet work with David Ware (Matthew Shipp on piano and the incredible Susie Ibarra on drums).

And Ursula Rucker is good too.

Did you ever listen to Burrell’s Momentum album on High Two? Awesome.

By the way, why was everyone saying that Wedge left CC in too long? Was it because

1) Our bullpen is obviously stellar, or

2) We’re feeling results-oriented right about now

he was over 100 pitches, was getting hit hard, not sure if either of those is correct, whatever

The Indians are just trying to winnow out the front-running fans. That’s it.

by Julie on May 3, 2008 10:55 PM EDT reply actions  

Brilliant! I support winnowing.

By the way, not a bad crowd given the crap weather that preceded the start.

We almost went to the drive-in but chickened out. Drive-ins in the rain kinda suck.

by Julie on May 3, 2008 10:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

I dig rain, just not sitting in cars in the rain.

My wife (a photographer who recently quit her job as a forensic chemist) had to take pictures in the rain for three hours today. Pictures of uber-wealthy people watching the derby, straight out of the polo game scene from Pretty Woman.

by tabler84 on May 3, 2008 10:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

My husband is from Louisville, so we might have watched the Derby for his sake. I’m glad I didn’t, given the outcome.

by Julie on May 3, 2008 11:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, that was awful. It’s a reminder that, hey, racing is fun and all, but kind of animal cruelty.

by tabler84 on May 3, 2008 11:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

I used to watch races on TV, and go with my dad on occasion. We saw a horrible accident years ago, and I’ve never been able to watch since. There are some images that I can’t ever get back out of my head.
