Good selection for listening and includes analysis of the songs if that sort of thing interests you.

wow. thanks a lot for this.

ugh. I can't even read the name Columbia without going into an anxiety attack.

Whoa this thread almost wasn't about your relationship to New York for a second.

god forbid that happen.
or the fact that I actually attend the university mentioned in the thread.

who ahhhhhhh

zzzz

Is that on the East Side?

No it's her friend's band. He's in it with two of the guys from Guuuub and they put her on the guest list tonight.

I don't even know who you are.

Oh you know alright....

But should she go?

this thread.

douchey mc douchers.

Well not to say anything that actually pertains to the thread here or anything but thanks for this.

I immediately found issue with the listening charts for Coleman, not that anything appeared incorrect, but just that I felt they were a bit lazy. They mention his experiments in tonality and how that seperated a lot of what he did from someone like Charlie Parker, but they don't get into any detail regarding how achieved those sounds (specifically altering the tone to the extent he did without neccesarily altering the scale, which I would love to read about). However, on the other end of the spectrum the charts for Monk are fantastic, and were great reads.

Regardless, definitely a great resource from a school whose music library I would love to spend about a week in. Again thanks for posting it.
