Jazz for aficionados
Chicago's AACM (Association For The Advancement Of Creative Musicians) has been on the forefront of the modern jazz movement for quite some time. Glad you all enjoyed the clip. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_for_the_Advancement_of_Creative_Musicians |
Interesting piece tonight on the BBC World News "witness" segment. They interviewed Jimmy Cobb, the drummer on KOB. He said that the KOB session was just about done in one take. The tape was only stopped once, on 'freddie Freeloader'. He said they did not anticipate the reception from the public, that KOB received. Cobb is in his 80's but looked as if he could be in his 50's or 60's. Nice to see a Jazz guy have a long and apparently healthy life. He is still playing. They also interviewed the guy that created the phone service centers in India, to which all calls for assistance from the U.S., are now routed. I would have thought this guy would be in Jail, for crimes against humanity, or at least on the run from Interpol!! Cheers |
Frogman, with the US life-expectancy on a steady downward turn, you'll be lucky to still be breathing at 86. I read an article lately with a graph showing the age convergence points of the average bodily pesticide load of German and American males. Lines crossed at 78 for the former and 23 for the later. FDA allowance for pesticides level on Organic veggies are higher that EU standards for normal status . |
