Although I think with mail order there is a different mentality toward shopping, certainly when I do it I, say eBay as an example, constantly check out what ‘other items the seller has’, so while I may have just bid on a, say, a Miles Davis disc, he may have, say, and Amanda Marshall disc I was kinda interested in also “save on shipping with combined orders” can be quite tantalizing. However, I would _never_ confuse the terminology of “variety” with “literate”. -alex.friesen @ sickkids.ca >My point is, > I prefer to hear the new guy's interpretation (e.g., > Lyndon) rather than > listening to an attempt to rehash somebody else's > lines (e.g., Nathan) I know, honey. And I agree 100%. I too would rather see a little (at least a little) thinking while playing instead of some (near?) 40-something git acting “cute” and dancing about while strumming 20-year old bar chords and stale solos. Hence, Cover42. -Eric J. Hansen >.

CS is one of the only concerts I actually walked out of (although I have read books through some), but that said I merely went to catch Bozzio playing with Jeff Beck in a double bill concert, thank Zeus JB went on first… > One of my favorite jazz CD's is Benny Carter meets > Oscar Peterson.

I think I could have phrased my comment
differently, I merely meant to imply that they started out with a a jazz funk
feel, and had to incorporate more stuctured pop elements to make it more
commercially appealing. It could have been worse, they could have taken
jazz lessons from Kenny G! ;) | ||

"Its been far too long since Herbie's Rock-it days for him to get any recognition on the street." Have you gone out "on the street" and asked people if they know who Herbie Hancock is? There are many innovative jazz musicians creating music today (and many crap ones) but there are still some who are recognisable by Joe public. I'm talking from an English point of view. I don't know if the average American is oblivious. Everyone in the UK knows who Courtney Pine is - and if they don't then they probably don't know j*** s*** about any music. So there! What's the difference between jazz and non-jazz. Answer: Non jazz is where you tell the rest of the band what tune your going to play before you start. Andy K | ||

"I agree, and I wonder why. Are we the general public actually becoming less musically literate? Discuss." Yep - cause now we's got playstations an' internets an' stuff!!! Andy K | ||

| Got my ' Collection ' DVD and cd set yesterday from Blackstar (only £13.99). Extras are a bit dissapointing - all lifted rather clumsily from FAIT ACCOMPLI. Nice to have the vids on disc though, and quite unusual to see the lads' full names on the credits...i,e Michael David Lindup, Rowland Charles Gould and Phillip Gabriel Gould. Anyone else think that the Compilation thing is getting a bit ridiculous now ? - I don't know of any other band that has had so many compilation cd's, most of which regurgitate the same tracklisting ad infinitum.... I really am having trouble keeping up with them all, as having collected them for so long now, even the rare German ones, I feel I'd like to carry on. Dean | ||

I have to confess that I'm absolutely lost during this whole Jazz discussion thread. Not that I mind of course, i find it interesting to read, but I just can't contribute towards the discussion. However, I can ask a general question: has anyone heard the new album by The Thrills? It's called So Much For The City. I saw them in Glasgow back in January on the NME tour and I caught them again last week playing an in-store set at Virgin Megastore on Oxford St. Damn good stuff - great tunes and a fine vocalist. Anyway, they're worth checking out. Sorry for not mentioning any Jazz musicians or L42...
