Hell yeah man. Love all those guys. The postbop era had a whole slate of excellent trumpet players who's influence can still be heard today.

I hate "fusion." Like, as a word. It's so stupid. Early jazz already was a fusion. Of church music, blues, work songs, Western Europe classical music, ragtime, marches, etc. As jazz expanded it grew in it's "fusion." Calling a mix of jazz and rock "Fusion" is so absurd, I've always hated it.

Night Dreamer pretty much changed my life, and I connected to Wayne Shorter as a composer more than anyone. And that album struck a perfect balance for me between the expressionism of Wayne's playing and writing / that Miles 2nd Quintet era of limit-pushing, and the postbop era that mostly dominated the early 60s. The…

Yeah, Miles more or less started his career in early bebop, then pioneered "cool" or "west coast" jazz (ironic since he was mostly based in NYC), third stream, postbop, and modal jazz. His 2nd Great Quintet set the standard for what a small jazz ensemble could do, and his pushes into rock, funk, soul, etc, all the way…

And one of my favorite trumpet players of all time, Cootie Williams, who played with Benny Goodman before becoming one of the most important members of Duke Ellington's orchestra.

Damn, didn't know this existed, gonna have to check it out. Lee Morgan might be my favorite trumpet player. In college he was a dude I couldn't stop listening to, and I owe my career in music to his player, among others.

Also I can watch nearly every second of Colbert, Sam Bee, Seth Meyers, etc, on Youtube. But if I want to watch The Daily Show there to avoid CC's dreadful video player? I get one segment a week. Not one episode a week, or one segment per episode. Roughly one segment per week.

There was a shot of him being carried up the stairs, just a tiny glimpse, I think he would be faking it to the extreme if that was the case.

Yes, S1 was better than S2 but still WE DEMAND MORE

Reminder that douche and turd referred to how ~equally bad~ John Kerry and George W. Bush supposedly were. As if Kerry would have invaded Iraq, gotten involved with a DOJ firing scandal, fucked up Katrina, Plame, Abu Ghraib, torture, Harriet Miers, etc etc. But guys, ~both sides~!

This is actually brilliant, puts into perspective how well designed the film is.

Yeah this kills me, dude is still making a huge paycheck off his show, but he can't help himself and not burn that bridge.

She was great in Alpha House too.

Boston goes blue because of immigrants, people of color, women, lgbt people, etc. That spreads across the state, but MA has a SHITLOAD of white folks. Many vote D, but not all. Reminder that the first hate crime inspired by Trump was when two dudes beat a guy nearly to death because he looked Mexican - in Boston.

Didn't S6 have Jack guide a mentally impaired person through some kind of computer hack. That episode was defintely the worst of the entire run and easily one of the worst episodes of tv I've seen in my life. It's like if GoT did an after school special on reefer madness in the middle of a season. Like, what the fuck…

I'm a few weeks behind, but this was one of the better episodes of the show, even if it wasn't necessarily one of the best "Bob's Burgers" episodes. As in, it didn't have a ton of laughs, but it had a powerful central story.

No, Gaye's work was not used. Copyright law clearly protects certain elements of music, and "feel" or "groove" is not one of them. Literally almost every song uses someone else's groove or feel. Marvin Gaye's song What's Going On? was similar to Stevie Wonder's My Cherie Amour in the same way that Blurred Lines and…

You're right, they are similar.

I like that anecdote because there is also legal backing involved - you can copyright a melody, but you can't copyright the groove element. To an extent. You actually can copyright arrangement, which could involved bass lines, but you'd have to write it out and prove that this wasn't just a worked out or spontaneously…

That's cool, though samples were not a part of this case.
