Thanks for breaking out this Pharoah record, reminds me I need to add it back into my regular listening rotation. Something about the bells (especially on "Prince of Peace") make a good sonic fit over the holiday season.

Howdy everyone. Just jumped in the waters. Looks like I've missed an excellent show so far. I thirdly concur that Jim White is the best. I think his mustachio makes him an even better drummer.

Sam Rivers, relocated from NYC to Orlando, I got to see him many times as an undergrad, as he was one of the few jazz greats that would play around. He brought Mathew Shipp and William Parker w/ him on one tour (first time I saw all of the aforementioned), and it brought me out of my indie ghetto when I was 19)

i clearly have biases to overcome, because i thought "oooh, this is nice", saw it was brubeck, and thought twice about commenting to that effect. so, in the name of overcoming biases: ooh, this brubeck thing is nice.

@dk - I hear you and have felt similarly. I'm not one for straight jazz but at some point I realized that Dave Brubeck is actually pretty interesting and enjoyable.
