Re: Bill Evans

I love Bill Evans, all of it. Do others enjoy his big band George Russell collaboration, Living Space, as much as I do?

Re: The Other Waylt

Been listening to a bunch of Steve Goodman, as he would have been 65 today. I played Words We Can Dance To and Say It In Private, along with selections from his anthology, No Big Surprise, and The Easter Tapes.

Re: What Are You Listening To?

First listening. Just received it in the mail to review in a prog magazine. So far, typically stellar outing by the trio; sounds like it's happening right in front of me. Recorded live in Switzerland in 2009. http://mp3.uzhgorod.name/uploads/posts/2013-05/thumbs/1369561639_keith-jarrett-gary-peacock...

Re: Beach Boys.

Further to the question of Beach Boys' influence on others, I was thumbing through a recent issue of Time in a doctor's office and saw a Q&A with Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson, drummer of the tres funky band The Roots. One of the questions was, "Is there an influence people would be ...

SD is my favorite band. I like to say they're "better than jazz" (makes the figs sputter).
