Of course what does?? Cream and Hendrix were not jazz bands, they were rock bands with members who had jazz background. I don't think that is the same as jazz bands bringing in rock elements which is fusion. If that is the case then the Rolling Stones and the Beatles did in fact beat Miles to the punch (and Hendrix and Cream and the rest.). But in fact Miles brought electronic instrumentation into jazz creating fusion. There were jazz players in rock and roll bands long before the British Invasion; in the US having jazz players in rock and roll bands was sort of standard also. I really th

Bringing jazz drumming into rock hardly constitutes jazz rock. Many musicians had jazz backgrounds and joined rock bands. We can argue about this until the cows come home, but whole legions of British musicians had backgrounds in trad jazz, swing and even be-bop before they became rock musicians. (Americians too for that matter...) If anything Jimi Hendrix was more of a blues musician and there has been crossover between blues and jazz since the beginning of both genres. (Heck rock and roll started out as an offshoot of jazz if you want to get technical, with jump blues and other types of

It's sad really isn't it. Managers and promoters have been ripping off musicians for ages. LouieB

Guess I best not google this at work... LouieB

That really is a drag, since there was more than enough money to keep everyone happy throughout their lives. Hendrix records still sell really well I am sure. (Reading Wikipedia I noticed that Mitch didn't pass the audition to get into Wings.) Right...it was a very exciting time. Lots of folks were trying lots of crazy shit that hadn't been tried before and pissing alot of fans off. LouieB

What the fuck is that??? What's with the hand gestures?? What is the shocker......?? Sorry to be so out of it. LouieB

That I buy.....you simply can't dismiss Miles that easily. As did John McLaughlin, Jack Bruce and many other British musicians....(and American ones as well...) LouieB

Yea, didn't she die a few years ago?? LouieB

Not sure that a big old drum solo behind Jimi constitutes jazz-rock. There had been drum solos in rock (and jazz) for years before this. Miles was doing this at the same time actually - In a Silent Way 1969. Many rock and blues musicians have had a background in jazz; that is not that unique. LouieB

The one I have always wanted to read is the one on Big Pink. It is actually fiction and sounds rather good. LouieB

How many do you have?? I have only one and that one remains unread so far.... LouieB

At this point whatever the USA 700 billion bail out is, is still not clear. Hopefully the Chinese have a clearer idea of what they want to spend their bailout money on. LouieB

Fuckin commies..... LouieB

I recall thinking that the opening credits and the first 20 minutes were brilliant and after that....well maybe you had to be a fan of the comic to dig it, I dunno... LouieB

Fuckin' Commies.... LouieB

He's taking a long but restricted vacation courtesy of the US government... LouieB

Dealers are selling it on Amazon.... LouieB

Gemm is out of its mind.....(actually it looks like lots less from some dealers...) I have seen copies in used record stores over the years for way less than that (under $10). It is mediocre at best. LouieB

Does any of this mean my Fat Matress album is worth something?? LouieB

Yea, no Republican Governors in IL ever need to be removed...that's pretty funny actually... LouieB

the only real reason to have one was to create sections to get rid of elected officials. But there is no reason some amendment to the constitution can't be drawn up to do the same thing at a lower cost. LouieB

I would hope so. On Amazon dealers it is showing up for $1.94 used and $4.84 new. LouieB

Yea, this is sort of true; there had been some Superman and Batman movies and the Road Warrior movies (which admittedly were not from a comic book per se), but somehow they messed up. I suppose had it been made today it would have had more traction a la Hellboy, since it has more in common with that type of story than a super hero movie. LouieB

Did I mention that I was a member of a teachers union also, but the public service unions took a stance against this also. LouieB

The teachers unions did a full court press on this issue. My wife is a teacher too and we got more robocalls about this issue. LouieB
