    You WIll Need To Reset Your Password!!!

    We just moved hosts on this system, and this has caused a few updates. One is the way we encode and store the encoded passwords.

    Your old passwords will NOT work. You will need to reset your password. This is normal. Just click on reset password from the log in screen. Should be smooth as silk to do...

    Sorry for the hassle.

    Other Side Of Maleficent

    I have been looking forward to Maleficent with equal amounts of anticipation and dread. On one hand, she is easily my favorite Disney villain, so cold and so pure, and I want desperately to see more of her and her back-story. On the other hand, she is easily my favorite Disney villain, and I would hate to see her parodied, taken lightly or ultimately destroyed in a film that does not understand this great character. The good news is that this film almost gets it right; but that is also the bad news.

    The follow up to Disney’s 2013 Academy Award Winning short Paperman has been announced, and it will premiere at France’s Annecy International Animated Film Festival. Titled The Feast, the short looks to be based on the same stylized CG techniques used on last years Paperman, a more natural and hand-drawn look to computer animation.

    Renegades of Animation: Pat Sullivan

    Pat Sullivan became famous worldwide for his creation of Felix the Cat. What most animation histories gloss over is Sullivan’s checkered past and longtime standing as a wildcat renegade. He didn’t follow the rules. And he made damn sure to fully protect his intellectual properties.

    Recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder passed away at his home in Englewood Cliffs, NJ 8/25/16 at the age of 91. Though you may not know the name, you have probably heard his work as he has recorded and/or remastered some of the most important and respected jazz releases ever made. In addition to classic Miles and Coltrane, some of the artists who got the RVG magic touch that I have in my own paltry jazz collection include Paul Chambers, Freddie Hubbard, Eric Dolphy, Modern Jazz Quartet, Wayne Shorter, Eric Dolphy, Art Blakey, Charles Mingus, Sonny Clark, Herbie Hancock and Terence Blanchard (my apologies to those I lost track of). And many of these artists came expressly to Mr. Van Gelder's home which doubled as his recording studio, which he built and equipped himself. His work is gorgeous—under his knowing touch music that's decades-old sounds as if it was recorded yesterday. He never retired and was working right up to the final week of his life. Here is a link (NY Times): http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/26/a...-sound-of-jazz-on-record-dies-at-91.html?_r=0

    Bless your soul, RVG, you certainly had enough to go around.
