Where's the homosexual part in that?

I totally forgot about this, I used to watch it all the time.
This was a kids show?
Cartoons rocked back in the day

Rico, Is that the new Five Peace Band album that I see listed in your recently played tracks?  I downloaded that album from emusic this morning and I am looking forward to hearing it.  What do you think of it?

You see, I think Ozzy swallowed one too many Trojans. Might explain his voice after Sabotage...

Yes it is. It's good stuff, and quite succulent in epics too, but I have a side-feeling that it's just good jazz coming from "headphones" compared to the thrills seeing FPB live gave me. Yep, saw them in Bucharest last November, playing pretty much the same stuff as on this record, and it was mindblowing. Chick was a bit laid-back, not jumping in as a lead man in order to keep it a band balance, John was electric-wiring as usual, but Kenny Garrett was absolutely masterliness, Colaiuta played like a pro, and the whole show was an immense success. This album, beyond being a good one, brings such great memories.

Sounds great.   I saw the names Corea and McLaughlin and figured that it was probably a no-brainer that I had to download it.  It sounds like it was a great show too.

I got pretty stuffed with great jazz concerts (by great jazz names) these last three-four years. At first it was Al Di Meola right in my bloody hometown - and everyone saw it as the event of the decade. But then it just kept getting better: Eberhard Weber, Esbjorn Svensson Trio (oh, ES, how missed you are ), Paco de Lucia, Jean-Luc Ponty (twice) - and last year was hardly for the heart-fainted: John McLaughlin with his new electric band in May, coming then back with Five Peace Band. I actually went to fulfill my dream of seeing Chick live, and yet all five were very impressive.

I've booked some things for this year as well: Abercrombie and Rypdal will come in July to probably the greatest jazz festival in my country, and Garbarek teams up with Corea & others in November. Wowwy  zowwy!

10 years ago, we would say "get in the plane and go hunt these legends down somewhere in Germany or France", but now, just by travelling across the country to these festivals, I just couldn't ask for more.

Except Jarrett. I'd still ask for Jarrett. Getting to hear Jarrett live would ultimately mean cloud nine.

That will make my mind explode, especially since Colaiuta is one of my biggest drumming idols. A real pro that guy, from creative and delicate to explosive. I think he's currently somewhere in my top preferences, along with Peacock & others.

He is stellar.
