Carlos Santana & Wayne Shorter - Live at Montreux (1988)
For those who wonder what Weather Report, arguably the premier jazz-fusion band of the '70s and '80s, might have sounded like with a guitar player, Carlos Santana & Wayne Shorter - Live at Montreux is a good reference point. The verdict: if Shorter's involved, it's going to be good. The saxophonist-composer and his Weather Report co-founder, keyboardist Joe Zawinul, had disbanded the group by mutual consent about two years before Shorter joined forces with guitarist Santana on a 1988 tour that included this gig at Switzerland's Montreux Jazz Festival. And while Santana was the bigger name, the music presented in this two-hour concert is actually closer to the Weather Report sound--i.e., a rich blend of electric jazz and world music influences performed by a versatile group of virtuoso players. In fact, three of them had been Weather Report members at various times: bassist Alphonso Johnson, the amazing drummer Leon "Ndugu" Chancler, and Chester Thompson, who plays keyboards here but had manned the drum seat while with Shorter, Zawinul, and company. Along with keyboardist Patrice Rushen and percussionists Armando Peraza (congas) and Jose Chepito Areas (timbales), both Santana stalwarts, they assay material familiar to both Shorter fans ("Elegant People" from Weather Report's Black Market, "Sanctuary" from Bitches Brew, one of the many Miles Davis albums on which Shorter played) and Santana lovers ("Incident at Neshabur," "Blues for Salvador," "Europa"). Shorter is brilliant throughout; his solos on both tenor and soprano sax are fiery and expressive, and his communication with the others is a wondrous thing to behold. Santana, on the other hand, often sounds out of his element, if not out of his league; although he has an instantly recognizable sound and plays with great passion, he's primarily a rock guitarist with a limited blues-based style that restricts his ability to interact with skilled improvisers like Shorter and Rushen and take part in the kind of dynamic ebb and flow that characterizes great jazz performances. In the end, this is a good, sometimes inspiring show. But one wonders what might have happened if Shorter had joined forces with, say, John McLaughlin instead. --Sam Graham

CARLOS SANTANA & WAYNE SHORTER/LIVE @ MONTREUX JAZZ FEST/CD
It began almost as a lark when Carlos Santana encountered his longtime friend and hero Wayne Shorter on the concert trail in Atlanta, GA, in 1987. Carlos said, "Let's start a rumor that we're putting a band together."Wayne's eyes got bigger and brighter as he smiled and then responded: "Yeah, Carlos, let's start a rumor."
A few months later the Carlos Santana/Wayne Shorter Band performed its debut concert at The Fillmore in San Francisco, the beginning of a 26-concert tour throughout the U.S. and Europe. The performance of this magnificent band was recorded at Montreux, Switzerland, on July 14, 1988, and includes interviews with Carlos Santana, Wayne Shorter and festival creator Claude Nobs.

The Jazz Channel Presents Keiko Matsui (BET on Jazz)
Keiko Matsui may have won a few Smooth Jazz Awards, but the Japanese- born, classically influenced keyboardist's music is not jazz--at least not if your definition of jazz includes swinging, the blues, and improvisation, all of which are in relatively short supply in this nearly 90-minute performance (plus DVD bonus features, including an interview with the artist). Not that it matters, really. Whatever you call the style--"contemporary instrumental" seems as good a term as any--Matsui is one of its more appealing, and certainly most popular, exponents. A capable if not virtuosic player, she and her four-piece band (including a Japanese guitarist who seems to have listened to a lot more Jimi Hendrix than Jim Hall) offer up a generous set of 14 songs, all of them Matsui compositions. As titles like "Beyond the Light," "Night Waltz" and "Bridge over the Stars" would indicate, the sound is melodic, accessible, and, well, smooth; this is the kind of music that smooth-jazz radio was created for. And while that makes for few challenging moments, Matsui does provide enough variety--say, the minor-key, rhythmic drive of "Doll," or the shifting dynamics of "Foot Steps" (the two "jazziest" numbers here)--to keep things interesting. Best of all, she brings out Kazu Matsui, her husband and record producer, to play the shakuhachi (the Japanese wooden flute) on the final three numbers. Kazu's distinctively breathy sound and casual, humorous mien provide a welcome change of pace in a show that is otherwise a bit too safe for its own good. --Sam Graham

Remembering Bud Powell Live
Jazz legend Chick Corea was only a teenager when he first fell under the spell of Bud Powell, a jazz piano giant who would greatly influence Corea's music. In the '90s, Corea offered a homage to his teacher and inspiration by forming a multigenerational quintet of players to perform in Powell's groundbreaking style. Celebrating a lifetime of Corea's incredible musical collaborations, the Remembering Bud Powell Band recently reunited at New York City's famed Blue Note jazz club for a very special performance, one of the highlights of a GRAMMY-winning series of historic and unprecedented concerts.

Voting Question: what would you classify my look?? yea im bored...so what, lol.?
I always hear that the main races in the world is White, Asian, and Black. SO what would you consider me? Im Mexican American by the way. I answered this one question about hair, but that person only mentioned caucasian, asian, and african american people. So that's what prompted me to ask this question. Where do the hispanics fall? What kind of hair do you think they have or what category do they fall in? What perspective do you have on hispanics when it comes to ethnicity or the ethnic look? Im mexican american, my dad looked exotic, he didnt have the brown mexican look. He looked like he was a fusion of spanish, indian, arab, armenian, italian. He had olive skin, big almond eyes, thick very arched eye brows, a sharp italian like nose, perfect lips, and the most beautiful curly hair. Not to curly but no where near straight or wavy. He had a mustache obviously,lol. There are so many pics of him in his twenties in the mid 50's, so his 50's hair cut was rockin back in his day. My mom is from mexico too, but her family is white, so i suspect they come from german heritage, because they are big boned people, they obviously have some kind of indian aztec blood too from being in mexico, probably through her moms side, but they look german or even a russian look. Her hair unfortunately isnt that great, wavy and frizzy as hell. I got my dad's hair with my mom's frizziness which makes my hair fro out only when dry, people ask me if im part puerto rican, which i don't think so, though lots tell me i look armenian or arab/spanish/italian looking. So now I'm confused and interested what people have to say, I really dont identify myself with the whole mexican ethnic look, even though at times I can look very mexican. My brows are thick but dont arch as much as my dads, i have lighter than olive skin but in summer i have the tan, i have my dads lips, my moms eyes, mine are brown not green, smaller yet almond shaped, oh did i forget to mention my dad had a cleft chin, and my mom has a dimple chin, so i have a mix of both, picture ben affleck or brody jenner's chin. I'm a big guy. 6'2/ 279lbs. I have some weight to lose, but once thin and in to win, I would consider myself the latin lover type,lol. Tall, dark, and masculine looking. With the whole curly hair, stubble face, cleft chin thing going on, haha. Google Franco boschi images, hahaha. I dont know how to attach photos but you can view a few of them on my myspace. Ok, so Im basically asking you to give me your opinion on my look, what do you think would enhance my look, I can take constructive criticism, but not insults, so be nice! lol. okay take care and happy holidays. Find me: myspace.com/beco916 I'm anxious to get answers, this yahoo thing is pretty cool! Have a Merry Christmas! Only 3 more days!
wow. i didn't know people couldn't read now days...but merry christmas to all of you too. Pig out and enjoy all your gifts!

Here are my sources, please read them before you answer...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Day#Sunday_and_the_Sabbath
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithras#Mithraism_and_Christianity
P.S. I was raised and still am a Catholic...
Constantine was a lifelong pagan who was baptized on his deathbed, during his time, Rome?s official religion was Sol Invictus, and Constantine was its head priest, unfortunately for him, a growing religious turmoil was gripping Rome, as Christians and pagans began warring, and the conflict grew to such proportions that it threatened to rend Rome in two, so he decided to unify Rome under a single religion, Christianity.
Constantine converted the sun worshiping pagans to Christianity, by fusing pagan symbols, dates, and rituals into the growing Christian tradition, he created a kind of hybrid religion that was acceptable to both parties, as Egyptian sun disks became the halos of Catholic saints, pictogram of Isis nursing her miraculously conceived son Horus became the blueprint for our modern images of the Virgin Mary nursing Baby Jesus, virtually all the elements of the Catholic ritual, the miter, the altar, the doxology, and communion, were taken directly from paganism, even Christianity?s weekly holy day was from the pagans, originally, Christianity honored the Jewish Sabbath of Saturday, but Constantine shifted it to coincide with the pagan?s veneration day of the sun, Sun day, and Christ's birthday was taken from the pagan god, Mithras, who was born on December 25...
During this fusion of religions, Constantine needed to strengthen the new Christian tradition, and held a famous ecumenical gathering known as the Council of Nicaea...
At this gathering, many aspects of Christianity were debated and voted upon, the date of Easter, the role of the bishops, and the administration of sacraments...
The Council of Nicaea was critical to the further unification of the Roman empire and to the new Vatican power base, this not only precluded further pagan challenges to Christianity, but now the followers of Christ were able to redeem themselves only via the established sacred channel, the Roman Catholic Church...

Resolved Question: Why does my hair do this?
I got my haircut about a month ago (Sep. 19) and it turned out really bad. My hair grew out a lot (because it grows really, and I mean REALLY fast, about three inches already) and it looks really really really really really really ugly. I got layers and stuff but some of my layers look damaged and at the bottom of the layered pieces it's really thin. My hair is wavy so the layers tend to go "out" as in the opposite direction of my head, kind of like this except it's 3-4 inches below the shoulder:
http://www.cobella.com/images/fusion/Programme-2.jpg
How do I get rid of that? I'm going to get a haircut very soon and I need to know what to say to the stylist. I was thinking of saying something like "What can you do to make my hair look better without cutting my bangs and the longest part of my hair," or "Can you make my layers blend in more and look "smoother?" Thank you for taking the time to read/answer my question! It's urgent!!! :) oh and HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!
