at that price, why not!

Received my order from riverrat today (very fast). The CDs and original packaging are in excellent condition. These discs were loved! (And will continue to be). Thanks!

I checked out one of my Border's stores today. No music. They had one shelf with the Top 25...really only had about 10 unique titles. Both stores in town usually do the same thing so I suspect Borders is done with music here. Actually... a good riddance. The music section was dying a long slow death.

I have: In The Zone (1995) and Decisions (1998) My Dad took our family to Norman quite a bit to watch him play basketball at OU. I met him and spoke to him briefly a few times over the years - like so many others have said, he was always very nice and had a big smile for everyone.

I caught "Third Right On The Left" from Organissimo's Groovadelphia today on MUSIC CHOICE - our cable music service. We were having dinner at a friend's house and we turned on the jazz station for some background music and I recognized a familiar sound. I checked the on-screen display and sure enough it was our favorite group. They had some pretty good factoids about The Big-O too. Way to go guys!

In 10 or 15 years I'm betting they'll have the technology to actually do this. (And I'm only half kidding.) The technology already exists and has fallen into evil hands. Click here

The first thing I would do is check the manual for temp tolerance specifications. I did some looking around and found this. It seemed to be the best of the lot:

I "retouched" mine with a sharpie.

I caught the show in Norman, OK on March 18th. Here's the set list: The Outlaw Party Time Soy Califa United Idle Moments Inner Urge Encore: Mosaic The performance was great. All the band members seemed very engaged. I met and spoke with Ravi Coltrane before and after the show. He hung out with fans and was very pleasant. None of the other band members came out as far as I could see.

Borders is having a CD/DVD inventory clearance. 30% off (not a big deal). Some stores are exlcuded. Not much available in my stores for a couple of years now.

and I was so looking forward to the UPS man making a delivery tomorrow... So how do we go about getting this fixed?

At least the music is still available in the form of RVGs (or will be by the end of the month).

nope. just 3. also from the website: In the 11th edition of the Concord Music Group’s remastered CDs originally issued by Prestige Records in the ‘50s and ‘60s, three more classics that engineer Rudy Van Gelder recorded and recently digitally upgraded. All three were recorded in the ‘50s and feature the crème de la crème of the jazz world—titans now; young upstarts then finding their voices. Each album includes original and new liner notes. The titles for this latest batch include albums made by perennial favorites: Miles Davis: Collectors’ Items Sonny Rollins: Worktime John Coltrane: Standard Coltrane

I don't know whether it's wishful thinking or long range planning but in the ADDENDUMS of both new selects possible new projects are metnioned. Zeitlin: "This set covers only the three studio albums Denny made for Columbia. He also recorded Shining Hour: Live at the Trident for the label in 1965 with Charlie Haden and Jerry Granelli. Mosaic hopes to reissue those recordings, which also contain an abundance of unrelease material, at at future date." Handy: Tears of Ole Miss first appeared as a long live version ..."recorded the following year at the Village Gate for New View, The New John Handy Quintet with Bobby Hutcherson, Handy's third album for Columbia. Hopefully the New View album, plus bonus material from the same Village Gate date, as well as other unreleased studio material with Hutcherson, will be the subject of a later Mosaic release."

Did you also notice that this is the first set of 35 to have the text on the spine to read from the bottom to top instead of top to bottom. Correction: when I went to place #34 and #35 on the shelf I noticed that #33 had the text on the spine in the same bottom to top direction.

Guess I'll run across the street to Kinko's tomorrow and borrow their saddle stapler.

Got them both today. Dang! I was hoping my "inside out booklet cover" was to be a rare collectable...

Tony Williams - Spring Grant Green - Street of Dreams Babyface Willette - Stop and Listen Jackie McLean - Bluesnik Horace Silver - Tokyo Blues Grachan Moncur III - Some Other Stuff Links to support Organissimo.

I can asnwer #2 as some discussion about these CD-Rs has been had here. I posted pictures here.

Some Blue Note specials going on at Amazon.com. They are offering a 2-disc edition of the new one by the Blue Note 7. First disc is regular edition, 2nd disc is a compilation of the tracks from the 1st disc by the original artist (taken from the RVG collection). Right now the 2-disc edition is cheaper than the standard.

good question - though there are none on the disc. I hope to catch this tour when it comes to Norman, OK

Just finished this a little while ago. It's a really interesting read. HH talks about how The Green Leaves of Summer came about. He was in his fourth year at the Public Service Hospital in Ft. Worth for heroin conviction. On Christmas they showed the movie The Alamo. The Green Leaves of Summer was on the soundtrack. He liked the tune so much he said he would record it if he ever got out. Early next year he received Executive Clemency from JFK.

Thanks everyone!! Gonna celebrate my Dad's birthday tonight! If I'm 37...that makes him 62. And Blue Note 70 and a day.

Just picked up a copy. Looking forward to diving in. Finishing up Lorraine Gordon's book on the Vanguard and the bio on Hampton Hawes - both good reads.
