Like many titles in the Blue Note catalog, this fine Blakey outing was initially shelved by Alfred Lion for unknown reasons; thankfully, considering Blakey’s large array of available Blue Note albums, this wasn’t necessarily a crisis. But now that it’s out once again with a 24-bit digital makeover, Roots & Herbs is definitely a welcome addition to the drum master’s CD catalog. Having already been a magnet for such talented hard bop players and writers as Hank Mobley, Benny Golson, Clifford Brown, Horace Silver (who helped form the original group), and Kenny Dorham, the Messengers’ lineup of 1961 featured one of Blakey’s best rosters: In addition to trumpeter Lee Morgan, who would alternate in the early ’60s with Freddie Hubbard, the band featured tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, pianists Walter Davis, Jr. and Bobby Timmons, and bassist Jymie Merritt. Feeding off six early compositions by Shorter (the CD also includes three alternate takes), all the players reel off topnotch solos atop Blakey’s fluidly galvanizing swing beat. Highlights include “Ping Pong,†“Look at Birdie,†and “Master Mind,†compositions that, in their fetchingly askew way, nicely foreshadow the wealth of ideas to come from Shorter’s pen throughout the ’60s. – Stephen Cook MP3@320CBR Track List 1.

  6. Nice seeing any of 'em putting some up. Rosehill and Sojstrom score? Kessel actually looked like he was trying and set up a nice goal too. Nice to have the help from the Isles goalie tweaking his knee in warmup and then having to put in a rookie from the AHL in is NHL debut. First two shots = goals.
  7. Oh Yeah! Gotta make sure I can get to this one. Love these guys and what a GREAT VENUE.
  8. I didn't realize Neil Peart wasn't the original drummer' date=' and I had a hell of a time trying to turn John Rutsey into him in the picture before I read that last bit.[/quote'] Then you MUST watch the killer Rush doc Beyond The Lighted Stage. Whether or not you like Rush, you'll get a great understanding of what they have gone through over the years and that they all seem to be really decent guys. Sadly, John Rutsey died a number of years ago

  10. Hamilton show isn't all that far away now. Looking forward to rockin' out in the Hammer with Rush http://bit.ly/eqL3lx Rush – The First Single 1973 The Rush version of Buddy Holly’s “Not Fade Away†was their debut single, released in 1973. The B-side of this single, “You Can’t Fight It,†credited to Lee & Rutsey, was the first original song Rush released. This Moon Records single is rare and highly sought-after by collectors!!! The following information was found at the Rush Collector Resources which can be seen at http://www.wellers.demon.co.uk/anthem.htm (7″ 1,000 copies, some stamped ‘not for sale’, 73) The very first Rush single, recorded during the Spring of 1973, the ‘a’ side was a cover of the song made famous by the Stones, but the ‘b’ side was an original Rush composition. These tracks have never appeared on any other (legitimate) release and so this 7″ counts as one of the most prized possessions in any Rush fans’ collection. The single was not a great success, and is certainly not the finest Rush recording, but provides a good insight into the formative stages of their career. Live shows from this period often featured another cover, Bad Boy by Larry Williams. Serious fans should try and track down a copy of a recently re-broadcast concert from the Agora Ballroom in Cleveland from August 1974, which features this song plus two Rush-penned compositions, Fancy Dancer and Garden Road which were never released on record. This concert was broadcast by WMMS radio in Cleveland as part of a weekend promoting the new Geddy Lee solo album. Back in 1974, WMMS was home to Donna Halper who was instrumental in introducing Rush to Mercury Records and breaking them in the United States. MP3@320CBR Track List 01. Not Fade Away (3:19) 02.

  11. http://bit.ly/eGPxC8 Grateful Dead – Road Trips Vol 4 No 2 – April Fools 1988 Well, we haven’t forgotten ’88—far from it—and this edition of Road Trips (Vol. 4, No. 2) shows you why. It offers up the entire April 1, 1988 concert from the Brendan Byrne Arena in East Rutherford, NJ (maybe you just called it “the Meadowlands†back in the day), plus the entire second set and a few first set highlights from the previous night’s show, March 31. That April Fools show is a real barn-burner, with a first set that includes a “double-opener†of high-octane versions of “Mississippi Half-Step†and “Jack Straw,†a rare and nearly perfect take on “To Lay Me Down†(played for just the second time since 1983), followed directly by the second (and final) GD-only version of Dylan’s “Ballad of a Thin Man.†Less than a year after their six-show jaunt with the Mysterious One, Weir & Co. give the classic tune an impressively emotional workout; in fact, it’s hard to discern why it didn’t remain in the Dead’s repertoire after this evening. That first set also includes nearly manic versions of both “Cumberland†and “Deal.†Blazing! There’s no letup in Set Two, either, as the band tears through what looks on paper like a fairly conventional set list, but in execution is far from that. “China Cat†> “Rider,†“Estimated†> “Eyes†and “The Other One†> “Wharf Rat†all sound fresh and alive, and seem to glow with fiery embers thanks to Garcia’s speedy and imaginative runs—basically the guy is on fire! A few nuggets from the 3/31 first set are tucked onto the back side of Disc One—including a superb “Let It Growâ€â€”and then that night’s second set fills the other disc, and it’s another rockin’ affair loaded with favorites: A “Scarlet†> “Fire†nearly the equal of the famous Hampton version just four nights earlier, a fine “Terrapin,†and a post-“Drums†that never lets up as it moves from “Goin’ Down the Road†into “Miracle,†“Dear Mr. Fantasy,†the coda of “Hey Jude,†and “Watchtower†in the closing slot. The encore is another Dylan tune, “Heaven’s Doorâ€â€”a perfect grace note for a raucous and exciting show. We should also note that the “Rhythm Devils†and “Space†portions of each show are also fantastically varied and interesting—in the spring of ’89 Garcia will be the last band member to “go MIDI,†so this is provides a glimpse of the more “pure†Garcia “Space†tones. Intrigued? You should be! It’s hot stuff from beginning to end. As is customary, the original recordings (in this case by Dan Healy) have been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman, and our art team of Scott McDougall and Steve Vance have once again come up with a stunning package to entertain your eyeballs. This time out, Dead scribe Gary Lambert has contributed a splendid essay for the booklet, which true-to-form, is also loaded with period photos of The Boys in action.

  12. http://bit.ly/hXNVu2 Bob Marley & The Wailers – Live Forever (Pittsburgh 9/23/80) Bob Marley returned to the USA in the fall of 1980 for an Eastern seaboard jaunt during which he’d appear over two nights at Madison Square Garden and for one night at Pittsburgh’s Stanley Theatre, the latter of which was released on two discs this week. It was his final concert appearance. “We did not know how he was hurting,†remembered background singer Judy Mowatt in the book Bob Marley: The Untold Story. “We did not know if he was afraid. We did not know if he was wondering if could do the show or not.†Marley did the show—and what a show he did. “Greetings in the name of his imperial majesty… Jah Rastafari,†he began. “They say experience teacheth wisdom, but there’s a natural mystic blowing through the hills,†he said, then took his band through a slow and steady version of “Natural Mystic.†He followed with the similarly paced “Positive Vibrationâ€, with its declaration, “I and I vibration is positive (got to have a good vibe).†At about the concert’s halfway point, somewhere between “War No More Trouble†and “Zimbabweâ€, the show achieves lift-off. But perhaps so as to not get carried away, they take it down a few notches and follow the ascent with “No Woman No Cry.†Of course, the song is the setpiece, the full spectrum of Marley’s genius on display. Not only does “No Woman†provide personal history and philosophy, it’s a love song as well as a portrait of Trenchtown, right down to what’s on the menu (porridge). It’s also where you’ll find one of his many famous refrains that reinforce his positivity vibe: “Everything’s gonna be all right.†Rita Marley, whose heart Bob had broken many times over by now, was particularly concerned about her husband’s condition on this night. “Stop the fucking tour now!†she was said to have begged of him, though Marley’s answer to that was to rock steady on and throw down a show to rival them all. In the second half, he and the band kick out the jams, upping the tempo on “Jammingâ€, keeping the locomotive motion growing on “Exodus†and the grooves flowing through “Could You Be Lovedâ€, the song that was tearing up the dance clubs and black radio stations—the ones that helped pave the way for three decades of Marley mania to come. Pausing to breathe for the song he referred to as “Ol’ Pirates†(“Redemption Songâ€), the last song of the final encore is “Get Up Stand Upâ€, his most anthemic number of all. Of course, he couldn’t have done it without Carlton and Aston Barrett on drums and bass, Junior Marvin and Al Anderson on guitars, Earl Lindo and Tyrone Downie on keyboards, Alvin Patterson on percussion, and the I Threes (Mowatt, Rita Marley, and Marcia Griffiths) on vocals. What a tribute to Marley’s musical legacy the release of this final, triumphant concert is, performed as it was in the face of death. Had he lived, Marley would’ve turned 66 this week on Sunday, February 6th. And yet, his 30-year-old jams are still in line with the times. If nothing else, this show demonstrates his genuine belief in the power of positive vibration as a solution to world war, poverty, famine, and all forms of violation of human rights, as well as the way to assuage personal harms like fear, loneliness, isolation, and illness. Slumping into doom, anger, and futility wasn’t Marley’s way, though far from a cure-all, he preached that “Positive Vibration†would at least ease the pain: “Why not help one another on the way? Make things much easier.†Some listeners balk at the simplicity, but if you’re the type that needs a push into the light, this concert is a great start. – Denise Sullivan MP3@V0 Track List 01 Greetings 02 Natural Mystic 03 Positive Vibration 04 Burnin’ and Lootin’ 05 Them Belly Full 06 The Heathen 07 Running Away 08 Crazy Baldhead 09 War/No More Trouble 10 Zimbabwe 11 Zion Train 12 No Woman No Cry 13 Jamming 14 Exodus 15 Redemption Song 16 Coming in From the Cold 17 Could You Be Loved 18 Is This Love 19 Work 20 Get Up Stand Up http://bit.ly/hXNVu2

  16. Smart move ... Glad they can hang on to him and not risk waivers. Get him in a few games prior to the trade deadline and maybe get something for him. In the meantime, let Reimer roll.
  17. Ho Lee Fuk! 3 fights and 2 goals in first 80 seconds of a game. Wow!
