Not that it isn't worth loving. It is. Marsalis plays the trumpet sparingly and with a kind of precision that can sound as much like soul as the blues. Nelson matches the trumpet with his voice--he isn't trying too hard, he's not laying off because of his age, he's entering the song when he has to, when he should, and offering his voice as one of the instruments. It's hard not to like both of these guys. The backing, though, is not something I enjoy. When Marsalis is comped by the saxophonist, I find it annoying. The piano is tinny.

I was very excited when I heard this CD was coming out and couldn't wait to purchase it. I am still very happy that they teamed up together and I'm sure there are some that will enjoy it...I however am very disappointed. Rating: - Willien and Wynton: Not as Crazy as It SoundsI know what you're thinking? Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis? Together? I thought the same thing, too, when I saw them on The Tonight Show earlier this year. I mean, we are talking about Willie Nelson, the Texas troubadour who will duet with, well, just about anyone who asks. And then there's Wynton Marsalis, the jazz purist--puritan?--who disdained even his brother, Branford, for touring with Sting back in the 1980s. How in the world did these two get together? That's something I haven't discovered yet, even in the nice little behind-the-scenes video up on YouTube. Upon closer inspection, the pairing is not as far from left field as you might think. Nelson has covered everything including ... Read More Rating: - Jazz Music Master + Country Music Master = Blues MasterpieceWynton Marsalis and Willie Nelson, Master in each of their Music categories; have joined forces in a New Orleans-Kind-Of-Way to create a;Believe it or not; Blues recording Masterpiece. Willie's Voice and choice of material(which is perfect for this CD) is perfectly accented by the down home New Orleans horn sounds of Wynton. A modern Laided Back Blues Classic that should be nominated for a Grammy! Rating: - two men with the bluesi love both willie and wynton. they did an excellent job playing together and sharing the lime light. |

All About N-Gage have the dirt on a game that looks like it has a lot of potential: Asphalt: Urban GT. I can't say that I've played much more than some FIFA and other random stuff on the N-Gage, but a good racer can add a lot of value to a gaming platform. Of course I'm still waiting to see if Call of Duty rocks as much as it should.
I've heard it said by Dave Winer and many many others: if only Dean had reinvested half the money raised into the Internet, then ...
OK, so you're the Dean Campaign Chief Information Officer in August 2003. The money starts to roll in. $20 million over six months, $2-4 million per month.
What would you spend the money on?
How do you spend in consonance with the campaign strategy?
