I've gone deep on vinyl - the German ECM pressings are the bees knees!

There is some recent research to suggest that absolute and relative pitch represent cognitive tradeoffs.

I doubt anyone who's heard me sing would question the notion.

Used and cutouts at Rhino Records in Claremont was how I built my collection....that's all I could afford. A small store, but they had everything jazz related coming out in the late 70's/early 80's, including tons of ECM releases. Those purchases were our main stock for a Friday night radio show a friend and I did together at the Pomona campus radio station (KSPC). We'd finish up the partying around midnight, then pull records from our stocks, walk down to the studio and spin all this obscure shit till 3a.m., totally ignoring the printout suggestion lists of "you must play this David Sanborn record once every hour", etc. Sometimes we'd overlay a couple records at once while on air, and get calls from people in LA asking for the band name, to which we' answer...."uhm...it's a demo not officially released yet", or some such excuse. I think the Zappa/ECM combos worked out pretty well actually. College days, what fun.

Joel,
This is getting too weird. I too used to haunt the used bins at Rhino while a student at HMC ('77-'81). I never worked at the radio station, but several friends did. In fact, one friend ended up managing Rhino (and may still, for all I know). Ah, the memories...

I miss those days in Berkeley. I was trolling the same bins at the same time (early 80s) myself. Moe's, Rasputin's, The North Face factory, what's not to like?

Spare changers on Telegraph? The demise of the Berkeley co-op? Minor quibbles, to be sure.

Tone deafness correlates positively with endurance? Who knew? Well, perhaps the endurance of the listener to your singing, but that's something else.
 
Lord knows why, but I'm picturing Thor in a fringed suede vest and Theresa in a pair of hip-huggers singing "I Got You, Babe".

I haven't had a single martini today, just in case you're all wondering.
 
You know, I think there's a suede vest in a box somewhere. If I can just get some fringes and some funding to run for mayor, I'm all set.

Beware the retirement package, if you do.

Oh my...then perhaps we rubbed elbows at Rhino...or the Wash?

I just recently watched Taking Woodstock and the original Woodstock back to back (though I will admit that it took three days to get through the original Woodstock) and now I am stuck with this vision in my head.
 
Keith Jarret, Gary Peacock, Jack DeJohnette

Standards in Norway (1995)

Never tire of this performance (and loving "Little Girl Blue" at the moment)....

No doubt, if you were around then. I actually took a couple of courses at Pomona, one in Moral Ethics and the other being Corwin Hansch's legendary "Physical Bio-Organic Medicinal Chemistry," arguably one of the two most useful classes I took in college.

Mark Lipton
 
Hansch's class sounds fascinating...

I was at Pitzer around that time, but took a lot of classes at Pomona (art history, anthropology and theatre set design; oddly, all of which play into what I'm doing now). The system of being able to cross-register was great, eh?

Anyway...small world. I miss Juanita's and In-n-Out!
