Nickelodeon's SpongeBob heads Disney-sponsored parade
SpongeBob SquarePants is about to encroach on Mickey Mouse's territory.
On Saturday, a character dressed as the Nickelodeon Channel cartoon star is scheduled to serve as grand marshal in Anaheim's Spooktacular Halloween Parade sponsored by Disney, which runs the rival Disney Channel. The parade route sits about two miles away from the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim.
As far as parade planners see it, SpongeBob and Disney can co-exist in harmony, despite the fight for ratings between their competing children's networks.
"It's not an issue, as far as we are concerned," said Suzi Brown, Disneyland Resort spokeswoman. "We've been a sponsor of the parade for many years."
After all, SpongeBob has roots in Anaheim, too: Creator Stephen Hillenburg grew up in Anaheim and graduated from Savanna High School. Read more about SpongeBob's creator HERE.
Disney characters already grabbed the limelight in the parade as youth grand marshals: Mickey Mouse in 2002 and Buzz Lightyear of the "Toy Story" movies in 2001.
The parade landed SpongeBob through another major sponsor, Time Warner Cable. The Disneyland Resort and Time Warner each contributed $10,000 for sponsorships, said Ruth Ruiz, spokeswoman for the city of Anaheim.
"There was not any conflict with Disney. We just look at the parade as it's a family parade. What would the children really like to see?" said Ruth Ruiz, spokeswoman for Anaheim.
The Halloween Parade has a long history in Anaheim, beginning in 1924 with baseball legends Babe Ruth and Walter Johnson serving as grand marshals.
On Saturday, the parade is set for 6 to 8 p.m. in downtown Anaheim. The parade will begin at Broadway and West Street, continuing east on Broadway, heading north on Anaheim Boulevard and concluding at Lincoln Avenue. Read more about Halloween events in Anaheim HERE.

Your Thoughts
Your Thoughts
Inventory your mind. Examine your beliefs and toss out those that no longer serve you. They are often traditions held since childhood. For instance, as the oldest child, for years I mediated disagreements between my siblings. Recently, one sister called to ask me if I would call another sister to request she do something. "I prefer you two work that out," I said. I had outgrown my old belief that as the oldest this was my duty. Two days later my sister called me again to thank me for being honest with her. Not the reaction I expected. But there is no limit to what is possible when we discard old thinking.

Anonymous witnesses in bomb plot case
NEW YORK- A man being tried for plotting terror attacks against police and soldiers in Manhattan may face his accusers in secret.
Prosecutors want to keep some testimony against Jose Pimentel out of the public eye because one witness is an uncover cop and two others are confidential informants.
Prosecutors asked a judge to close the courtroom saying the three witnesses could be endangered if their identities became public.
Pimentel is accused of being an al-Qaida sympathizer and was arrested when he was making a pipe bomb.
His lawyers contend Pimentel was entrapped and they want the public to know about the tactics used to arrest him.
The judge made no ruling on Wednesday but noted the legal bar is high for closing a court to the public.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/74gd29/distributed) has announced the addition of the "Global Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) Report 2014 - Latest Forecasts to 2019" report to their offering.
Global Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) Report 2014 - Latest Forecasts to 2019 provides analysis of the Distributed Antenna System (DAS) market, including carrier WiFi, small cells, and Self Organizing Networks (SON). The report includes evaluation of market drivers, challenges, and a quantitative assessment of the industry from 2014 to 2019.
In addition, as wireless service expands to areas outside of metropolitan areas, people may be located in isolated places where regular base transceiver stations (BTS) is not a viable option. This is particularly obvious in indoor use of the communication services in densely populated areas and buildings where the building may have many floors underground or formed of steel structure in addition to high-rise buildings.
Since the inception of commercial wireless technology, network operators have strived to obtain the maximum number of users. Consequently, there has been a constant struggle to maintain the quality of service for increasing number and usage of cellular systems.
A promising solution to solve all of these issues is to deploy a Distributed Antenna System (DAS). The DAS will typically consist of group of antennas physically connected to a controller that is connected to the carrier macro cell. DAS will serve as a repeater to the nearest BTS and extend its broad range of service to very narrow areas where there is a great demand in wireless services.
Key Topics Covered:
1 Introduction
2 DAS Technology Overview
3 DAS and Small Cell Technologies
4 Case Study: Cost of Small Cells vs. DAS
5 DAS and Self Organizing Networks (SON)
6 DAS Benefit to Carriers
7 DAS Market 2014-2019

Willie Pickens
, 1987. Very Good ...
Add to Cart
The title's a reference to the fact that the album's a long-overdue debut as a leader for pianist Willie Pickens – a player who was important in the Chicago scene for years, but had never made it into the studio until the late 80s. The set's an odd one – in that it features a fair number of solo piano tracks, with Pickens playing in a style that's freely moves up and down the
line of jazz piano expression, almost in the mode of some of Jaki Byard's work. Other tracks are in trio mode, but still pianistically evocative of a number of styles – and titles include "Invitation", "Wave", "Lush Life", and "Stella By Starlight".

McCoy Tyner & Jackie McLean
Blue Note
, 1985. Near Mint- ...
Add to Cart
The leaders are sporting some serious 80s fashions on the cover – but the record's got a really solid sort of sound – and an approach that strongly shows the growth in both players since their earlier years at Blue Note! Tyner's a musician who really took off in strides during the 70s – and his free sense of energy and life really seems to set McLean's horn on fire – at least on the tracks that feature Jackie on board. Part of the album just has Tyner's piano in a group with Ron Carter or Marcus Miller on bass, and Al Foster on drums and Steve Thornton on percussion – but other numbers bring in McLean for some soaring lines on alto, plus a bit of trumpet from Jon Faddis too. Titles include "You Taught My Heart To Sing", "Hip Toe", "Spur Of The Moment", "It's
", and "No Flowers Please".

Willem Breuker Kollektief
Willem Breuker Kollektief ... LP
, 1984. Near Mint- ...
Add to Cart
American greatness from this seminal Dutch ensemble – a set recorded in the US when the group were really hitting on all burners – linking together rich strains of modern jazz in the course of a single performance! There's a great blend of tight concepts and freer solos going on here – and reedman Breuker is still very might at his most inventive – playing with a rich, feeling sort of tone, and moving through lots of new ideas – and never falling into some of the easier or more gimmicky modes that might normally hamper a project like this. Other musicians include Andre Goudbeek on alto, Maarten Van Norden on tenor, Andy Altenfelder and Boy Raaymakers on trumpet, and Bernard Hunnekink on trombone – and titles include "Women's Voting Rights", "Sylvia's Proposal", "Benares", "Kontrafunkt", "Song Of Mandalay", and "Amsterdam Rhapsody Overture".

Henry Threadgill
Just The Facts & Pass The Bucket ... LP
, 1983. Near Mint- ...
Add to Cart
Overlooked genius from Henry Threadgill – one of his under-exposed 80s sessions for the
label, and work that's every bit as great as his better-known sides for Delmark or Black Saint! The group here has a nice sense of freedom and interplay – almost a quality that hearkens back to Threadgill's roots in the AACM, thanks to strong contributions from Craig Harris on trombone, Olu Dara on trumpet, Fred Hopkins on bass, Deidre Murray on cello, and both Pheeroan Aklaff and John Betsch on percussion. The tracks are nicely arranged, but never too stiffly – and titles include "Cremation", "Black Blues", "Gateway", and "Just The Facts And Pass The Bucket".
LP, Vinyl record album
Henry Threadgill
When Was That? ... LP
, 1982. Near Mint- ...
Add to Cart
One of the most beautiful, lyrical albums we've ever heard from Henry Threadgill – a set that still has all the sharp edges you might know from his other work, but which also comes across with a slightly more sensitive sound as well! The compositions are beautiful – really well-written, longer-thought concepts by Threadgill – perfectly paired with a lineup that includes Craig Harris on trombone, Olu Dara on cornet, Fred Hopkins on bass, and Pheeroan Aklaff and John Betsch on drums – players who work well with Henry's flute, alto, and tenor to craft these deep-feeling lines amidst inventive rhythms. Production is great – very unassuming, and just right for the mood – and titles include "Melin", "10 to 1", "Just B", "When Was That", and "Soft Suicide At The Baths".

Ahmed Abdullah
Life's Force ... LP
, 1979. Used ...
Temporarily Out Of Stock
Add to
Watch List
A crowning moment of achievement for trumpeter Ahmed Abdullah – a record that draws on his rich experience working with Sun Ra, but focuses the energy into a warmer, more spiritual jazz setting overall! The album's a lost treasure from the US scene of the late 70s – a perfect melding of jazz modes of the
, and one of those dates that somehow has all the players sounding even better than usual – really hitting a unique space together – one that's rhythmic, yet searching – free, yet structured – and always open to new ideas throughout! In addition to trumpet from Abdullah, the group also features vibes from Jay Hoggard, French horn from Vincent Chaney, cello from Muneer Abdul Fatah, bass from Jerome Hunter, and drums from Rashied Sinan. Hunter's bass is an especially moving force in the session – giving the album a warm, soulful current that really holds things together – and titles include "Song of Tenderness", "Eternal Spiraling Spirit", "Long
Black", and "Life's Force".

Mose Allison
Creek Bank (Young Man Mose/
Creek Bank) ... LP
, Early 60s. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ...
Add to Cart
Like many other 70s reissues in the Prestige/
fantasy family, this set compiles 2 early albums by Mose. Unlike a lot of his later material, this set's mostly instrumental, though he does get in some vocals on
a third of the tracks. The album features some great work by Allison's trio of the
– Addison Farmer on bass and Ronnie Free or Nick Stabulas on drums – simple piano-driven groovers, performed with a slight gutbuckety approach, and lots of sweet down home soul. 20 tracks in all, including "Don't Get Around Much Anymore", "How Long Has This Been Going On", "Baby Let Me Hold Your Hand", "Stroll", "I Hadn't Anyone Till You", "Seventh Son", "If You Live", "Mule", "If I Didn't Care", "Moon & Cypress", and "Creek Bank".

10 tracks that perfectly illustrate all that was great
Gene Ammons in his early days – a set of singles and 78s recorded for Chess in the late 40s and early 50s, done in a laidback and soulful style that had a tremendous influence on the work of other tenor players at the
! The recording quality is nice and moody, and the tracks hold up surprisingly well over the years – with titles that include "My Foolish Heart", "Goodbye", "Once In A While", "Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe", and "It's The Talk Of The Town".

John Carter & Bobby Bradford
Flight For Four ... LP
Flying Dutchman
, 1969. Very Good+ Gatefold ...
Add to Cart
Spectacular work from one of the most groundbreaking groups of its
– the legendary John Carter/
Bobby Bradford Quartet – quite possibly the hippest thing going in the LA scene of the late 60s! The group includes Carter on alto and tenor, Bradford on trumpet – working together in these amazing lines that have both players running off together in a style that's free, but often quite rhythmic – spurred on to move past the new freedoms unlocked by the Ornette Coleman group a few years before! Yet the vibe here is very different than Ornette, too – given the bold, righteous power that comes through in the voices of both players – working here at a level that seems to blow away just
anything else going on in the American avant garde at the
. The group has just two more players to round out its amazing sound – Tom Williamson on bass, and Bruz Freeman (brother of Von and George!) on drums – and all tracks are long and free, yet also fragile and intimate – with an almost painterly sense of beauty and emotion that stands in stark contrast to much of the avant work of the
coming out of the east coast. Titles include "Domino", "Abstractions For Three Lovers", "Woman", and "The Second Set".

Ted Curson
Canadian Concert Of Ted Curson – Live At La'Tete De L'Art ... LP
Can Am
, 1962. Very Good+ ...
Add to Cart
An incredible record – and one we wouldn't trade for anything! Trumpeter Ted Curson is caught here at the peak of his fire, playing at a legendary concert in Montreal – originally issued as Ted's second album, way back when he was just getting his start. The whole album is insanely wonderful – and it features some of Curson's best work ever, no mean feat since he's made a wealth of incredible albums. He's playing here with a little-known, but fantastic group that includes Al Doctor, a hard-biting alto player who works with Curson as well as Bill Barron did during some of their classic sessions at the same
. The pianist in the group is named Maury Kaye, and he's another incredible, but long-lost talent. Tracks include some of Ted's best compositions – like "Straight Ice", "Quicksand", and "Cracklin Bread" – and they're all done here in soulful modal grooves that sound fantastic. We know we're going crazy
this one – but it's worth it, trust us!

Joe Farrell
Penny Arcade ... LP
, 1973. Very Good Gatefold ...
Add to Cart
Killer CTI work from Joe Farrell – with grooves so sharp you could cut your trousers on them! Farrell's angular reed style is in perfect form here – grooving with a small group that includes Herbie Hancock on piano, Joe Beck on guitar, Steve Gadd on drums, and Don Alias on percussion – a combo that's got a harder, tighter feel than most CTI groups – a key reason why Joe's records of this
are so legendary! The album features a fantastic version of Stevie Wonder's "Too High" – one that breaks all over the beginning with these riffs by Farrell, then grooves into a CTI electric funk mode for
13 minutes. All tracks are long – and other tracks include "Hurricane Jane", "Geo Blue", "Penny Arcade", and "Cloud Cream".

Victor Feldman
Arrival Of Victor Feldman ... LP
, 1958. Very Good+ ...
Add to Cart
The title and cover image are a bit misleading – as Victor had already been in the US for
4 years by the
of this set – but as far as west coast jazz was concerned, he'd definitely "arrived" through a series of great contributions to classic albums! The outing's a trio date – with Feldman on both vibes and piano – drums by Stan Levey, and bass by a young Scott LaFaro, who really helps keep things interesting throughout! Feldman often changes moods with his change of instruments – and the album's almost an effort to show the full range of his talents in a smallish space – but the overall presentation is never too split-minded. Titles include "Serpent's Tooth", "Waltz", "Chasing Shadows", "Flamingo", "Sposin", "Satin Doll", "Bebop", and "Minor Lament".

Maynard Ferguson
Message From Birdland ... LP
, 1959. Very Good- ...
Add to Cart
Put aside your reservations
Maynard Ferguson, because this is a very hip little record – one of Maynard's excellent early sessions for Roulette Records, and like the rest, done with a group that's overflowing with top-shelf players! Ferguson's definitely got a great ear for putting together an ensemble – because players here include Don Ellis on trumpet, Slide Hampton and Don Sebesky on trombones, and Joe Zawinul on piano – all working strongly alongside some lesser-known talents who are equally great! And although the group is large, there's a definite modern edge to the set – strong writing, unusual timings, and some sharp-edged solos that really make some of the longer tracks bristle. Titles include versions of Benny Golson's "Starfire" and "Night Life", Marty Paich's "Lonely
", and Slide Hampton's "The Mark Of Jazz" – plus "Oleo" and "Back In The Satellite Again", the latter of which was written by Willie Maiden, one of the tenor players on the date.

A well-titled set from Chico Freeman – as the reedman definitely takes older modern modes into new territory here – moving in almost Monk-ish space, but with some sharper, bolder tones overall! The album's a surprising one for an early 80s major label release – a great reminder that some companies were still willing to take a chance on jazz at the

a bit from track to track. Titles include "Mys-Story", "At A Glance", "In Spirit", "The Trespasser", "A Prayer", and "Each One Teach One".

Add to Cart
A record with a gimmick – but one that's totally great, and really unique for the
! The "1 to 10" in the title is the way that the album spins out – as track 1 features Golson blowing solo tenor, track 2 features him in duet, track 3 a trio – and so on, until track 10, which features a ten-piece group! One of the best things
the record is the way it really lets you focus on Golson's tone and phrasing – as even some of the bigger group tunes have a nicely laidback feel that's really dominated by Benny's solo work – and in a way, the record's a nice bridge between the more tightly arranged Golson sessions of the late 50s, and some of his looser sides of later years. Players include Cedar Walton, Curtis Fuller, Freddy Hubbard, and Albert Heath – among ohters – and titles include the Golson originals "Little Karin", "Swing It", "The Touch", "Impromptune", and "

The group is a great one – with Oliver Collins playing some fantastic spiraling lines on piano, and great bass and drum work by James Glenn & Billy Abner. Titles include "Ali", "X", "

anything that comes his way. Hill still throws out plenty of creative piano lines throughout – those deft, modern moments that are always illuminating, even amidst a straighter swing – with a tension that's not unlike his Grass Roots album.

The recording is modern, but the feel is pretty darn right – better recorded than the old days, but played in a style that's quite faithful to the roots by a group that features Milt on vibes, Jon Faddis on trumpet, JJ Johnson on trombone, Jimmy Heath on tenor, and Cedar Walton on piano.

Although the tuba might seem like a heavy instrument to bring into jazz, Draper's way of handling it is really wonderful – as he works the tuba's round, warm, bassy tunes in a way that's somewhere between a trombone and an acoustic bass – yet which also has some surprisingly light and lyrical moments as well. Draper's only on

Side two continues in the same vein, capturing the group on a live set in Vancouver, grooving in a similar style that's a bit like some of Wes' early small group albums from the same

every cut. The drummers on the sides are Lawrence Marable, Paul Humphries and Bobby Thomas, all fitting nicely into the pocket with the Montgomerys. 15 tracks in all, including "Jeanine", "Green Dolphin Street", "Beaux Arts", "Snowfall", "Lover Man", "June In January", "Monterey Blues", "Delirium", "Back To Back", "Doujie", "Just For Now", and "Groove Yard"

Stunning! This is a beautiful album that's one of Max Roach's most powerful recordings, and a record that's been the inspiration for countless other imitations over the years. Roach leads a group with Richard Williams, Clifford Jordan, and Mal Waldron – and they're matched with a vocal chorus led by Coleridge Perkinson, who also did the arrangements for Donald Byrd's classic "with voices" albums. Unlike those, though, this set's a damn angry bunch of compositions, and the chorus wails away in a loud screaming powerful mode that will blow away any of your preconceptions
the "with voices" mode. The group sings wordless vocals (except for one cut, which has Abbey Lincoln singing in the lead), and provides a searing backdrop of sound for the band's razor sharp playing. Every cut's a winner, and the whole thing's a masterpiece! Titles include "The Profit", "It's

The sound here is nothing like you'd expect from an "all star" session – as the tunes are complicated, intricate, and have an approach that's far different than the "head arrangement with battling solos" that first marked all star jazz recordings in years back. These six players come together with a wonderfully fluid groove – sliding soulfully in the realms explored by Hutcherson, Land, Walton, and Higgins on their own records from the

of the session – an assemblage that includes Frank Strozier, Phineas Newborn, Booker Little, Louis Smith, George Coleman, and Calvin Newborn. The tracks are long open-ended blowing session tunes – very different than the usual format for just

One of the hippest records ever to come out of Chicago – the sole recording by Boscoe, a group who was even more obscure and experimental than contemporaries like The Pharoahs or Artistic Heritage Ensemble! Like those groups, Boscoe has a very unique, very visionary approach – one that's not content just to echo the standard post-Coltrane modes that other spiritual jazz groups around the country were hitting – but which instead moves into territory that touches on the darker sides of funk, soul, and spoken word of the
– all with a message that's incredibly powerful, and conception that's wonderfully fresh throughout! The group's lineup features tenor, trumpet, trombone, guitar, bass, and drums – but they way they're put together is often far different than other funky combos – and it's clear that the group had as much of a sensibility
the overall sound of their record as they did their freer grooves. At
s, there's a righteousness here that recalls the best of the early Westbound Records scene from Detroit – but there's an even higher agenda too, which is more in keeping with the spiritual aspriations of their Chicago contemporaries, and which really show up in the lyrics. The whole album's a masterpiece from start to finish – unlike anything that we can think of, still ripe for rediscovery today, and just the kind of set that makes us prouder than ever of our Chicago heritage!

Sadao Watanabe & Charlie Mariano
Iberian Waltz ... LP
Takt (Japan)
, Late 60s. Used Gatefold ...
Out Of Stock
Add to
Watch List
A rare recording from Charlie Mariano's "lost" years in Japan – an under-documented period of his career next to earlier American work and later 70s European fusion! At the
of the set, Charlie was living in Japan with (then) wife pianist Toshiko Akioshi – and opening up tremendously from a musical standpoint – exploring new sounds and new modes of expression that really took him a long way beyond the straighter jazz of his roots. This set has Charlie working with Japanese reedman Sadao Watanabe, in a session that features both players on alto sax, but also using folkloric flutes as well – mixing the crisper sax work with earthier, more organic tones that really make the album sound tremendous! This aspect of the record is featured on 2 long tracks – "God Has Mercy" and "Stone Garden Of Ryoanji" – both of which were written by Mariano, and which have a wonderful "jazz meets world" feel – nicely balanced by the more traditional jazz numbers "I Thought
You" and "Iberian Waltz", the latter of which is still a relatively exploratory Mariano number that runs for over 16 minutes!

A great album recorded in 1963 for Atlantic – one of our favorite ever! Jack Wilson's one of our favorite piano players, and we rave
him all the
on these pages – and one of the reasons why we love him so much is that he was often accompanied by Roy Ayers, who started out his career playing vibes in his group! The pair together are a dream, and this album is arguably their best effort – filled with moody modal cuts, and lots of lyrical interplay that hits these beautiful high points, then dives into pits of darkness. Titles include "Harbor Freeway", "De Critifeux", "Corcovado", "Jackleg", and "Nirvana & Dana".

Watch List
One of John Zorn's great genre-crossing projects of the 80s – a really playful and extremely experimental batch of tracks done in the very open freedom of the legendary Nato label! The set features Zorn on alto sax and clarinet, plus a host of other interesting musical elements – and it's a very collaborative effort, with Steve Beresford on keyboards, trumpet, guitar, and a million other things – definitely in his more avant side of the spectrum – plus David Toop on guitar and a range of other sonic sources – and vocalist Tonie Marshall, whose contributions are often nice and subtle. There's a great sense of energy here that really recalls the optimism of this moment in music – a
when it seemed that just
anything was possible on sessions like this! Titles include "Dumb Boxer", "Lady Whirlwind", "Shockproof", "Du Gris", "King Cobra", "Chien Pei Pei", and "Jayne Mansfield".

Joanne Brackeen
Prism ... LP
, 1979. Very Good+ ...
Add to Cart
Joanne Brackeen's at the top of her game here – working in a unique set of duets with bassist Eddie Gomez – at a level that matches the fire and fury of any of her work with a larger group! Brackeen's got this tremendous command of the keyboard right from the start – a wide sweep that has the notes cascading wonderfully – in rich melodies with a very deep sound, but still lots of sharp edges, and this sense of freedom that makes you think she's always just
to go outside – before pulling it back a bit. Gomez is sublime, as always – and his bass work adapts perfectly to each individual moment – stating itself strongly, but never in a way that's gimmicky at all – and always balanced between a sense of melody and
keeping too. Titles include "Lost Or Found", "International Festival", "Evanescent", "If You Dare", and "Prism".

Drummer Roy Burns leads a funky big band that includes Fender Rhodes, electric bass, and electric guitar – in addition to the usual brace of horns and woodwinds. The tracks are all quite hip – bouncing along in a mode that might have made the folks at MPS proud, or which reminds us of the funkier side of Stan Kenton or Woody Herman during the 70s. Titles include "Funky Shuffle", "Meet A Cheetah", "All

David Friedman
Futures Passed ... LP
Inner City
, 1976. Very Good ...
Add to Cart
One of the coolest, grooviest albums we've ever heard from vibist Dave Friedman – a set that really lives up to the promise we some
s expect from other records of his, but never find this clearly! Friedman plays both marimba and vibes – the latter with this bold, chromatic quality that comes through even in gentle moments – a bit like Gary Burton, but turned towards much more varied ends here – as the songs really shift in mood and approach, keeping things fresh throughout! Vocalist Rimona Francis lends her lovely wordless singing style to
half the album's tracks – but in a way that's more like an instrument than a conventional jazz singer – and the group also features surprisingly great acoustic piano work from Pat Rebillot (who we mostly know from keyboard sessions), plus Harvie Swartz on bass and Bruce Ditmas on drums. Titles include "Rachel's Samba", "Rodney's Dream Of Fantasy & Self Fullfilment", "Three Pieces", "Trinkle Trinkle", and "A Smile On The Face Of Mourning".

Don Friedman
Flashback ... LP
, 1963. Near Mint- ...
Add to Cart
There's nothing "flashback"
this one – because the record's
as in-the-moment as you could be for jazz piano in the early 60s! Don Friedman's a really tremendous player at this point in his career – a some
s unsung hero in the space between Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett – and one who played with the sensitivity of the former and some of the pre-cliche sense of freedom of the latter. There's a fresh voice to nearly all the tunes on the set – even when they're not originals – and Don has a way of making the keys of the piano step forth in waves of sound that are subtle, but seductive – although not in any too-romantic or too-flowery ways. Rhythm is by Dick Kniss on bass and Dick Berk on drums – on titles that include "News Blues", "Flashback", "How Deep Is The Ocean", "Ochre", and "Ballade In C Sharp Minor".

Red Garland
Nearness Of You ... LP
, 1961. Very Good- ...
Add to Cart
A lesser-known post-Prestige album by Red Garland – played in a mellow mode that features plenty of smokey tunes and late nite numbers! The style's certainly more gentle, and almost more tentative, than Red on Prestige – and many numbers have him slowly stepping along the keys of the piano in a way that some
s comes off as weary – but that great weariness that comes from having a heavy soul, an emotive depth that brings a deeply personal approach to some older standards, in a way that's quite different than before. The trio features Larry Ridley on bass and Frank Gant on drums – and titles include "Why Was I Born", "Where Or When", "Long Ago & Far Away", "Lush Life", "All Alone", and "Don't Worry

Thelonious Monk
Thelonious In Action ... LP
, 1958. Very Good+ ...
Add to Cart
A classic cooker from Thelonious Monk – recorded during his legendary run at the Five Spot in the late 50s, and featuring some especially great work on tenor from a young Johnny Griffin! Griffin's filling a role here that would be cemented a bit more firmly in the 60s by Charlie Rouse – but what we like
his playing here is that it's not as clearly codified "Monkish" as some of Rouse's work (even though that's all pretty darn great) – some
s a bit more open, although still filled with angular tones and changes on this set of all-original compositions by Monk. Rhythm is by Ahmed Abdul-Malik on bass and Roy Haynes on drums – and titles include "Evidence", "Epistrophy", "Blue Monk", "Rhythm-a-ning", "Light Blue", and "Coming on the Hudson".

Sonny Simmons, Prince Lasha, & Bossa Tres
Jazz Tempo Latin Accents! ... LP
Audio Fidelity
, 1965. Very Good+ ...
Add to Cart
New York avant meets the bossa – and a once-in-a-life
session that brings the sax and flute work of Simmons, Lash, and Clifford Jordan into play with Brazilian rhythms from the Bossa Tres! The album's completely wonderful – an excellent bossa jazz session at its core, but filled with some cutting edge reed work that makes the record stand out a lot more from the pack. The American players don't play on every track – leaving
half the record to the Bossa Tres on their own – making for a nice shift between trio bossa tunes and larger group jamming numbers. Titles include "Minortory", "Epistle To Trane", "Moanin", "Love For Sale", "Bottles", "Yesterdays", "Whisper Not", and "Dahoud".

Temporarily Out Of Stock
Add to
Watch List
A stone killer from funky flute player Bobbi Humphrey – one of her early albums for Blue Note Records, and a set that's a perfect summation of the best sides of her talents! The album's got a slightly different feel than Bobbi's work with Larry Mizell – yet still sports a similar approach that blends her amazingly spiritual flute lines with rich larger backings – in this case arranged by Horace Ott, Alphonse Mouzon, and Wade Marcus, in a sublime blend of electric jazz and soaring strings – all with a feel that's almost like some lost blacksploitation soundtrack! Given the lady's strength on her instrument, and her sharp sound on her solos, the record's got a focus and righteousness that takes it way past most contemporary efforts of this nature – a bold testament to the qualities that have made Bobbi one of our favorite players on flute for many many years. The set also features some wonderful Fender Rhodes – played both by Harry Whitaker and Paul Griffin – plus bass from Wilbur Bascomb, and heavy drums from Alphonse Mouzon. Titles include "Love Theme From Fuzz", "Nubian Lady", "Lonely Town Lonely Street", "Smiling Faces Some
s", Is This All", "I Love Every Little Thing
You", "El Mundo De Maravilas", and a great version of Mouzon's "Virtue".

We know you've seen this record a million

But it's actually Ramsey and his funky mid 70s trio with Morris Jennings and Cleveland Eaton revisiting some of his best loved material from the Cadet years, but with the groovy Rhodes and wah wah sound that we dig so much
his CBS recordings. Unlike some of the other records from this period, the group's nice and stripped down, just the electric piano, bass and drums, so the groove's nice and wide open, Ramsey and company popping along with the sanctified soulful vibe of his 60s work, but updating their sound with some nice electric touches. 9 numbers in all: "Hang On Sloopy", "Blues For The Night Owl", "Hi-Heel Sneakers", "Carmen", "Delilah", "Wade In The Water", "Slippin' Into Darkness", "Somethin' You Got", and "The In Crowd".

Probably the funkiest record Larry Coryell ever cut, and a very tasty session with Bernard Purdie on drums, Jim Pepper on flute, and Mike Mandel on organ. There's 3 different bassists on one side, Chuck Rainey of
half, and the great Ron Carter or the under-recorded Al Stinson on the rest. There's a long funk groove called "The Jam with Albert", plus the tracks "Sex" and "Ah Wuv Ooh". A bit too hippy dippy at

Roland makes a nod towards tradition – as he seemed to be doing often in the later years of his life – and he welcomes the great Al Hibbler into the studio for a true "meeting of the
s". Hibbler's one of our favorite vocalists from the early 50s, but mixing him with Kirk is a strange approach. Oddly, though, the set works – thanks mostly to Hibbler's insistence on keeping things straight. Titles include "Something
Believing", "Daybreak", and "Carney & Begarnd Place". Plus, the album also features one track – "Dream" – which has Leon Thomas on vocals instead of Hibbler.

One of our favorite records from Archie Shepp's "new traditionalism" years – a set of understated brilliance and beauty, and proof that Shepp's tenor could sound every bit as great on the inside of jazz as it did on the out! The group here is a quartet – with Ken Werner on piano, Santie Debriano on bass, and John Betsch on drums – but the real star of the scene is Archie, blowing with a rough-edged tone that's dripping with soul and humanity – definitely "knowing
the life" in the title, and coming through with a
less quality that makes him stand beautifully alongside older players like Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, or Sonny Stitt! Titles include "Well You Needn't", "I Know
The Life", "Giant Steps", and "Round Midnight".

Popular Irish bar The Bog reopens tonight, three years after it was closed by quake damage.
The former City Mall institution is reopening in Victoria St with a radical new look - a "steampunk" themed decor.
Owner Max Bremner said the aim was to make the bar appear as if a 200-year-old brewery had shut down for 100 years then reopened. It would look part-way through a renovation and restoration, with glimpses of its history.
Special effects company JBFX has done the fit-out with industrial bar leaners and a steampunk-style design.
Bremner said the bar was "quite radical" and would be considerably larger than its predecessor at 500 square metres.
It opens to the public at 7pm at 50 Victoria St, after a private party for former regulars.

Teenage Activist Who Was Shot by Taliban Signs $3 Million Book Deal
Malala Yousafzai, the 15-year-old Pakistani activist who was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman after voicing the need for education rights for girls in the country, has just signed a $3 million book deal. Her memoir, I Am Malala, is due out this fall. In a press release about the book, Malala, who is the youngest person ever to be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, said, "I want to tell my story, but it will also be the story of 61 million children who can't get education. I want it to be part of the campaign to give every boy and girl the right to go to school. It is their basic right" ..

Hello. I'm quite sure Malala's name is what's called "patronymic", meaning "Yousafzai" is not her surname but her father's name (and her father would be Yousafzai +Somethingelse). And it's the same for all Muslims. So we can't really call her Yousafzai. She should be called Malala.
This girl amazes me. Standing up for what's right despite the consequences. Simply inspiring.

It might not seem like a big deal, but the new windows being installed at Mt. Hood Town Hall represent a major milestone in the building's revitalization.
For as long as anyone can remember, and as long as photos of the building go back, two windows on the southeast side of the building, just to the right of the entryway, have been boarded up. The room was originally used as a classroom, and volunteers guess the windows were covered so the wall could be used as a chalkboard.
After years of restoration projects throughout the historic building, the old classroom, turned office, turned storage room, turned dust collector is one of the last major spaces to be restored.
"It has always been a dream of mine to see these windows restored," said volunteer Roger Nelson who, along with Bob Danko, have spent a laudable amount of time working on the building.
"The great thing is, now that we've done all this work, the building is being used a lot more," Danko said. "With revenue from different uses, and a lot of volunteer work, the building is now self-sustaining. So the revenue we take in from donations and fundraisers, like Enchanted Evening, can go directly into restoration projects instead of being shared with operation costs."
In addition to the classroom restoration, another major project that's being done is a new handicapped accessible ramp and entrance at the back of the building, behind the stage. The entrance will also serve as a fire exit, bringing the building in line with code on two major issues.
When funds can be raised, future projects include adding energy-efficient windows, an outside paint job, a kitchen remodel and a sidewalk around the building.
"It's a long list, but we're making good progress," Danko said. "The more restored the building is, the more it is used, and that's what we've been working for."
A variety of classes and activities keep a steady flow of people passing through the building on a daily basis. And with the arrival of New Vision School a few years ago, the building is once again filled with the daily joy of children laughing, playing and painting colorful pictures to be hung on walls and hallways.
With its 100-year anniversary just two years away, the Mt. Hood Town Hall is looking better, brighter and more vibrant than it has in many decades.

Most investment advisers find Key Investor Information Documents (KIIDs) useful and are using them to compare and select funds, but the documents have not been as big a hit with clients, according to a survey.
Two-thirds (65 per cent) of advisers reported that their clients are unaware of what a KIID is until shown them by their adviser.
Kii Hub, a provider of KIIDs, conducted a survey of 110 investment advisers at the end of 2013.
Most (80 per cent) advisers provided at least one reason why KIIDs are a better alternative to the simplified prospectus they replaced. Almost half believe it is down to the standard template (46 per cent) and concise two-page format (44 per cent), with one-third citing the use of plain language (33 per cent) and having the risk information at a glance (32 per cent). The majority (80 per cent) of advisers think KIIDs successfully provide like-for-like information for investors in a standard format, which is what they were set up to do.
Ian Overgage, director of technical fund marketing, says: "KIIDs have been a fact of life for advisers since July 2012, but it will clearly be some time before investors know they are an integral part of the advice process. However, these findings demonstrate that KIIDs have achieved the aim of helping advisers compare funds throughout Europe in a consistent way for the first time."
The information on charges is felt to be the most useful section on a KIID, chosen by one in three advisers, with half that number citing the risk information. In total, 73 per cent of advisers think the on-going charges figure is helpful.
Half of advisers (51 per cent) believe that KIIDs provide enough information for clients to make an informed investment decision without requiring any further details.
Overgage says: "When investors come into contact with KIIDs through their advisers, it is good to know those advisers are generally confident that KIIDs provide useful information in the right format to help them select funds."
