Steve
>Coleman. Again, you must like jazz to appreciate this,

I have some older material by him and saw him perform once at the North Sea
Jazz festival which was very impressive. Some years ago I bought an album on
which he cooperated with some rappers, cointaining one song with a rapper of
the Roots but I was highly dissapointed by the album. Even the song with the
guy from the Roots wasn't any good. A bummer because I was having great
expectations.

Does the album you're referring to have a purple/blueish cover with a house
on it? (I don't recall the title) Anyway if it is another album I'd be
interested. Could you provide me with the title? His life performance is
brilliant...I'm going to check out that Avery album, thanks for the info.

I just got back from a show with my band. The second song we played was a
dissaster. The guy who was supposed to play the intro played the intro of
another song and half of the section started to do that other song while the
rest of the band played the song we were supposed to play :) Now with 30
people in a band that sounds awful! Aah the blessings of playing in an
amateur band....but it was fun though
