Should we go for the 7th then? What if I promise to bring my "weekend" game even though it's only a Thursday? eh?

Re Don Cherry, thanks for the recommendation. I've never explored Don Cherry's sessions as a leader - not in the sixties anyway....I really just know him as Ornette's pocket trumpet guy from that period. Looked up the Symphony on-line and it sounds pretty magnificent, as do a number of others from the same period. Cool.

Glad to hear the new National sounds good. I liked but didn't love their last release - something about the singer's approach to the lyric (oh so whiskey laden cigarettey gravel) sounds contrived, to me despite the apparent torturedness of the songs. Musically though I think they're pretty groovy.
