U just reminded me that I can't locate my Jamaica Boys cd. wait a minute--is that why his face looks familiar? I kind of liked that lp. it was almost a classic in my book. din't like the lp's he put out in the 180's much though. nipsy | |

Outside of the great feature articles, I found the JT Notes column by Evan Haga exceptionally funny.
Especially for me, and will be for anyone else that has attended NAMM for quite a few years. Selected excerpts... "I was warned by jazz-savvy East Coasters about my second voyage to winter NAMM, that larger-than-life California trade show where the instrument industry debuts the axes and gadgets that will haunt credit statements in the following year." "Like the suburban megastores that support it and despite the overstock of musicians present, NAMM isn't always that musical. Because the sellable features of an instrument are better showcased with algebraic flurries of notes than with gently comped rhythm changes and a breezy melody, the shows and demos champion an athletic sort of musicality." "As expected, the jazz schedule is pushed toward fusion most of the time, but not all: Hauling a sack of catalogs underneath the fluorescent lights and feeling not unlike John Zorn locked in the Mall of America, I stumbled upon James Carter and Azar Lawrence trading choruses on "Mr. P.C." Lawrence, an historical sideman whose recent resurrection after pop sessions, tragedy and substance abuse couldn't be more welcome, battled this blues form with the Trand-inspired might that earned him '70s credits such as McCoy's Enlightenment and Miles' Dark Magus. tA Tribal Disorder
