there is another Nets fan from Norway on another board. I love Norway, beautiful country. Expensive, though.</p>
I have family in Sweden which is the neighboring country.</p> What kind of doctor are you going to be Jigga?</p>
Psychiatrist. There's a certain stigma that comes along with that, as modern criticism of "big pharmacy" is reflected on doctors who would rather perscribe pills than see if there are other, more natural, means of therapy. Certainly I can't deny wanting to be a psychiatrist and not a psychologist for the money, but its also having the ability to better treat my future patients. If I've exhausted all other means of helping someone, or have determined the source of a problem to be more "hardware" than "software" then I'd like the ability to take perscribed strategies; rather than just pass them on to someone who can do a better job helping them than me.</p>
Haha word, I dig it.</p> I'm halfway through my second year. I should be a Junior but I took some time off between transfering schools.</p>
Welcome, stephon marbury!</p> Wow, you gotta be one of the very few to actually like Steph. Care to explain, haha?</p>

Who are your favorite jazz musicians?</p> </p>[/QUOTE] </p> I had Sanborn's tone at age 15, and it was self taught. Most musicians consider me telepathic, I might be a clown on this message board, but I am no joke on the saxophone. When I was 22 GRP label was interested in me, however I blew it off to play more traditional styles which I guess would be modal blues and collective improv groups which were in the vein of Pharoh Sanders/Albert Ayler/Sun Ra. <-- I consider this to be roots music, and my answer to "soft jazz". Had I persued the path of CD101.9 and radio spot session work I would have made some bread, but would have felt as if I sold my soul. I went further into the Avant Garde studying with members of John Zorn's emsambles and went to classes with Anthony Braxton, who was then chair of Wesylian music dept once held by John Cage. My favorite standard players are Cannonball, Lou Donaldson, Eric Dolphy, Trane.. The best modern horn player/young lion is Greg Osby. Solutions of light is an amazing album. Benny Webster and Lester Young are great lyrical horn players of a bygone age, Joshua Redman and James Carter are wonderful throwbacks to that era. Sonny Rollins is basically the greatest living Saxophonist. And you are really sleeping Sanborn btw, That guy has altissimo fingerings named after him, and considers himself a "harmelodic" Ornette Coleman disiple. He's on so many records... I dunno I just have a professional admiration for that, the guy is a beast on the horn.
That's tremendous. I have the utmost respect for anyone making their living at the arts. I agree with you on that instrumental pop nonsense they call "smooth jazz." The worst part about it is that now, because of the radio airtime, it is all many people know of the genre. I saw Sonny Rollins play once when I was a kid and it was a terrific concert, although I was too young to fully appreciate it. He was joined on stage by a 17 or 18 year old kid named Wynton something. I do have a number of Canonball's albums, also, which I'll listen to from time to time. I never could get into Ornette, though. I listen primarily to pianists these days, and I like the artists on the ECM label. I wish I went to more sessions when I was young and living in New York, but you can never have both money and time, right? Good luck!</p>
ECM is a great label, Keith Jarrett fan? Matthew Ship? Never really found a favorite living pianist, T.Monk is my fav . I like Bill Frissel/Mark Ribot on guitar. Jack DeJohnette is ridiculous on drums. Ron Carter/William Parker on bass. I like Tom Harrell on trumpet/flugalhorn. James Carter on Tenor sax, Greg Osby on Alto/Sopranino. Yeah I hear ya bout Ornette. Some of his stuff is like volunteering for a concussion. I liked Sci-Fi sessions and Skies over America (his string quartet) and Free Jazz still costs $14.95! </P> used to go here alot http://www.tonicnyc.com/ closed :'(
