The Syndicate

Mingus- who do you want me to look at next? Coleman, and whoever hasn't been on your mind so much. I want to know what you think here, I need to widen my focus. I'll check out Coleman and Potter. I've barely noticed Potter, so I'll shed some light just to make sure my ignorance to him is justified....

So its between mingus/hiromi like silver said. ^not moving from this, the nk leads up to one of the two. Of those two, I'd be inclined to vote Hiromi Uehara. I'm still not reading Mingus as a jive turkey. You have no opinion whatsoever on my thoughts on Davis or Dixon? At least give me a reason why...

I'f you boys played the same instrument, I'd say we ought to get a ruler and see which one is bigger. Please put the egos away and let's nab this jive cat messing up our jams. Mingus- who do you want me to look at next? Fleck- What did you think of my long-winded musing about Davis, Dixon, and Uehara?

Cut out the first 40 seconds or so and I'd give it a thumbs up.

Lay it on me, brother Mingus. Do you just want to take a hard look at everyone or are you willing to exclude any names from the hunt?

That's some good old-fashioned vote analysis, just like my uncle, Jasper Sarsaparilla used to do! I can't argue with the logic, but I am not the bad musician in the bunch. I am just Jim-dandy with lynching Hiromi or Dixon. The simple fact that you three were not a part of either successful lynch me...

How's it going, you hip cats? RIP Miss Holiday. I could tell from your position in the Buble votes that you were jazzing right. I got some ideas rolling in my head that I'd like to share. Let's drop the whole "Player X is good because I say they are" tune and use reason to work out the las...

A most fortuitous result! Just one flat-noter left and we can jam like nobody's jammed before. If I'm not killed off, I will try to be around more on Day 3.

I'm being indecisive.

That's poor jazz form. Just go with it for better or worse. Jazz up, sir. Jazz up.

Any Fleck-tones care to join us on the "Punt Puente" side of the fence?

Coleman, what are you playing at here?

Mr. Dixon, I beg you to place your vote on either Tito or Fleck. As it stands, there will be a tie if Tito shows up and tries to save himself. Let's pick sides on these two and see how any vote changing shakes out.

My goodness you jazz fiends! What a wild turn of events this has been. My apologies for sitting back and waiting for a comfortable moment to break in. I like Holiday's passion but I have to ask her this: what would you think of Fleck had he NOT sock-slipped? Seems the chief reason you're defending h...

*cats

I'm feeling you cata on Hiromi but I'm not quite all there with you just yet. More reading, more reading man. I'm still feeling buggy about Tito, so I'll tickle the ivory his way for now.

Sorry to leave you cats all high and dry for so long. I'm going to go back and check my posts about you all again and hit the ISO gig one more time to see if anything has changed. I recall feeling more concern about Tito than Hiromi but maybe some new points were raised while I was out. Not sure wha...

Coltrane said he had two votes at 5:59 pm. then he doesn't post until just after the lynch post. At that point, Buble had 3 but Coltrane could have place a survival vote switch onto Buble if he felt threatened. Hard to say there. Buble posted at 2:00 pm and never came back before the poll closed. As...

Hmm... Buble didn't even try to save himself by voting Coltrane, Coltrane didnt secure his safty by voting Buble. Teammate interaction? Have to go back and see their activity after said votes to judge any fishiness there. If they weren't around to change a vote, then it's a false trail. I'll go che...

Potter's vote for Buble is sketchy because it's not based on substance. Feed us some more notes, my friend. I need to hear you to understand you. Puente ain't trying hard enough yet and just glommed onto the Col-train in agreement with others. Jazz is original. So far Puente is not. Uehara has littl...

Holiday didn't buy what Buble was playing. She seems legit to me. I'll circle back around on her suspicions after I finish my ISO's. Mingus put the nail in Buble's coffin. Seems square to me but I need to see more from him to see if he's just playing a fine tune or actually feeling a fine tune. Nava...

Dixon's got my bushy white man eyebrow raised a little here. Not for the jazz hands thing but for a slight flip flop on Buble. First he tells Coleman he'd like to vote for Buble but then he comes back around to say Buble's responses felt genuine. Others didn't feel the same way. Then after Buble is ...

Coleman never really took a stand and only had one concrete thought Day 1. Not many posts there. Coltrane was justified in moving past sock-hunting. It's not a fruitful exercise here because we don't know who all is playing. Now he did flip-flop in only a fee measures on Bela. First he said none of ...

I'm picking up some strange vibes as I look back through the thread. I'm going to look at you all in ISO before I finalize a few thoughts for the night.

I suppose I will leave my vote where it is. Day 1's man. Day 1's.

I agree that he's holding the same note a little long but let's see if he can throw a few more dots down on the sheet. He's only got four posts. I think neither of you make sense for today's lynch. Both your improvs feel a little too convenient to join in on. I still haven't seen any tonal surprises...

I would like to point out that there is 1 active artist who has already tried to stifle discussion, and there was no discussion on the matter. Chill, cat. Chill. You're hammering on this issue like it's legit but it's no blue note my friend. You may think your case is sharp but all I hear is awkwar...

Don't mind me, babe. I'm just free-styling and waiting to see what comes of it.

Coltrane why did you dismiss a subject of discussion? Who's down to vote this man with me? I dig your line of thought. I do, I do. But I'm going to throw my vote at Billy Boy Dixon at the start. That cat was the first (and for a while, the only) one of us to do something the host wanted. Not a bad ...

Ah, hmm, yes. Well, forgive me, blue host, for overlooking this.

Good evening to all you crazy cats. Let's keep this party swingin' to cheer up our blue host.
