Thanks for the review. I'm taking my son to see them on Dec. 11th in Berkeley! I think the last time they were in the area was 2007. Looking forward to it - To The One is a great CD.

Facebooked it, too. Great arrangement, great players. That singer is so good it's just not fair.

Shocking news. That's way too young. I knew of him through the cymbalholic site and his work is magnificent. Very sad. RIP Mike.

Eye of the Beholder is my favorite CCEB album. Played it to death when it came out. Thanks!

Just remembered that Santana and Tony recorded one song together called "Trane" the album was called ......I cant remember the name off the top of my head.... Oh it's called "Blues for Salvador".. Which reminds me that Tony is on Carlos' "Swing of Delight" album along ...

Two of my favorites:

Sonny Rollins - Don't Stop the Carnival (live @ GAMH)
Carla Bley - Movies

EDIT:

McCoy Tyner
- Passion Dance
- Counterpoints: Live in Tokyo
(both taken from the same concert around '78)

He's a member over at Cymbalholic where you can sometimes find him talkin' pies and RB Gretsch (and other stuff too).

Yes, that's Fripp's writing all right. Thanks for posting!

For what it's worth, a few years ago I started using slightly larger crashes: 17", 18", and 19" Dark Energies. I know: I'm a pig for using 3 crashes - but I like them. The bigger sizes seem to have more "there" there.

I have the Gibraltar pad and think it's good. A bit too bouncy and noisy so sometimes I drape a bath mat over it. Both problems reduced.
