 PM> me? I really like his track on the other-wise bewildering 'Jazz
 PM> Satallite's' compilation on Virgin Records, 'Brown Rice' I believe it
 
 that's from an album called "brown rice".  believe it or not, that tune was 
 covered by shadowfax (a windham hill band originally).  there's an album by
 him called "hear & now" (i think--i'm up too early today and the record's 
 across town).  on the cover he's sitting cross-legged in front of some sort
 of tapestry.  there's some interesting groove stuff on there...  it was issued
 by atlantic.
 PM> was called. Didn't his background include a stint with Ornette
 PM> Coleman?? Peace,
 
 he was ornette's long-time foil in the quartet.  "free jazz", "change of the 
 century" etc...
 PM> ps I've pretty much given up on the Nicolette album question, but what
 PM> about peoples opinions on the 'new' Talkin' Loud???
 what do you mean by the "new" talkin' loud?  new release, or new direction, 
 etc.?
