Gord, great assessments indeed. Should you or I post the next song for review, or wait for another member to do so?
steve, this thread is getting so busy i am getting confused, i guess you should do the next one. gord
hi colin,you say you never heard of sun ra.when you watch this video of his usual stuff, you will probably say thank god, ive never heard of him. gord

my remarks and video aimed at colin were made tongue in cheek, because colin has a great sense of humour, a found the most ridiculous piece of sun ra i could find, to get a laugh out of him.
Gord, although this genre of jazz is not my particular "cup of tea" {once again, please excuse the pun}, Anita's obvious joy at performing in this venue and her phrasings and tempo {i?} changes really carried the day {sorry!} for me. I just wish they had shown the drummer during her scat singing in "Tea For Two". Overall, a great "snapshot" as it were of an America long gone indeed. I'd give it an 8/10.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agp2on83hrA
hi escher,i rate the sun ra 9 out of 10,it was excellant. i am actually a fan of sun ra,at times he is performs beautiful and intense music. my remarks and video aimed at colin were made tongue in cheek, because colin has a great sense of humour, a found the most ridiculous piece of sun ra i could find, to get a laugh out of him. ifigured he would enjoy it, but not like it. now i need somebody to rate the above video. it is anita o day at newport.gord

You're spot on Gord - you can soon get lost keeping up with this thread but isn't that great. Just shows how good it is.
I just missed 2 days and I'm going to work hard to catch up (see separate posts)
Cheers John
