Many years ago, bastard Mike suggested that our anniversary shows feature groups comprised of as many members as the anniversary was of years. How's that for a mouthful (mindful?) Anyway, good idea until right about now. Eleven is an awkward number unless you're fielding a footie team, and the boys have some issues finding albums that fit the bill or even glance in the direction of this anniversary. Next year, all bets are off. Nat Adderly – THAT’S RIGHT; Bobby Selvaggio – STORIES, DREAMS, INSPIRATIONS; Gil Evans – PLUS TEN; Jeff Lorber and Mike Stern – ELEVEN. IN a very special Pop Matters, Mike mocks the Cocteau Twins and Pat (with Mike's help) questions the sanity of Atlantic Records latest deluxe reissues.
