Good luck! Minnesota is on a big roll lately.

The Bulls are creeping back into respectability, though. They'll have something to say about the way the East plays out this year, I feel.

Robert Glasper... Y'all been diggin' on him? I went looking for MeShell and stopped at the Wiltern Shakin The Blues benefit. He was loaded up in a band called EDITH FUNKER that featured

Erykah Badu - vocals
Doyle Bramhall II - guitar & vocals
Alex Budman - saxophone
Nikka Costa - vocals
Mike Elizondo - bass & vocals
Susannah Melvoin - vocals
Wendy Melvoin - guitar & vocals
Ephraim Owens - trumpet
James Poyser - keyboards & vocals
Ahmir "Questlove Thompson - drums & vocals


I'm headed to cop his album soon

Whoa. That's some line up.
I’m checking out snippets now. Sounds beautiful. I think he’s getting added to my Xmas list.

Actually I found your list informative. I don't understand why your feelings are hurt.

I'm a very lightweight Joni Mitchell fan, but the personnnel Herbie brings onto
RIVER,


his tribute to Mitchell, certainly perked my ears. I'm still bugged by celeb/guest star lollapalooza approach with Tina Turner, Corinne Bailey Rae and Joni herself, but notable musicians like Wayne Shorter, Dave Holland and Lionel Loueke have some really good moments.

Loueke, especially, is worth noting.



He's a West African guitarist who has worked with Herbie in various jazz and fusion contexts, including rhythm guitarist in the Headhunters unit that featured John Mayer and POSSIBILITIES from a few years ago.



For 2008, Loueke is being signed to Blue Note and I'm keeping an eye open for his tour. In the meantime, this gem slipped through in late 2006 - early 2007:

The Bulls are a 1st round playoff loss waiting 2 happen. They don't have what it takes 2 compete with the big boys.

Bet Kobe is glad nobody listened to his whiny lil ass.

PFunkjazz said:

...Especially Kobe.

Graycap23 said:

Fine-ass Vanessa too!

She is that....

Pat Metheny and Brad Mehldau had an excellent two years of collaboration that started in 2006 with a duet



and culminated in 2007 with Pat signing on for Brad's trio making it the Metheny-Mehldau Quartet.



The shows are pretty good , but I missed the tour.

Metheny, btw, has always been a MeShell fan.
