Hi, I am interested in the Hanna-Fontana "Live at Concord" I can pay via Paypal if acceptable. Thank you, Don

PM sent on the Ralph Moore set.

In the 70's there was a popular Jazz club in the East Village called the "Tin Palace". Anyone care to offer any remembrances of that venue. It was a scrappy time for jazz.

YES, this is one of my all time favorite Maynard albums. Issued in the mid-1960's on the short-lived Mainstream label. It was originally issued on LP under the title "Color Him Wild". There is something about this album that keeps me coming back; I think it is the nice balance/mix of material. Not only does he show off his inimitable solo chops on tunes like "Airegin" but there is a great version of "Three More Foxes" here that fascinated me back when I was a young trumpeter in highschool. However I think it is the warm ballad artistry of the sax section (Lanny Morgan, Willie Maiden, Ronnie Cuber) on Maiden's composition "Tinsel" and the easy going loper "This Night" that really sunk in and hooked me. It is a real shame that this album has not been more widely available during the CD era. Hopefully it will see new light in the download era. I was able to nab a used CD copy in it's reincarnation as "Dues" sometime ago. Don't let this one pass you by!!!

Yes, but more importantly could he "core a apple"?

Incredible! Good thing I'm not a betting man. I'm actually quite glad for you. Hmmmm... I wonder if they happen to have a spare copy of the Shorty Rogers Mosaic set on CD???

Don't get your hopes up. I'll be shocked if you actually receive it. Walmart is notorious for listing OOP CDs as available and will accept your order and then later send you an email informing you the item is no longer available............ - Don

Concord went through a corporate downsizing around the end of March. Brandi, their most knowledgeable and helpful customer relations staff person was one of the casualities. One should not expect the same level of service from these folks. Unfortunately I think this is a case of doing less with less........... The big push with Concord now is with mp3s (Yuck). - Don

Another PM just sent for "Texbook Tenor" also. Thanks, Don

Thanks very much for the tip and the offer Malraux. I'll pass the info. on to my friend. - Don

Thanks for the advise Jim. This may solve the problem with one of the recordings. Certainly worth a try! - Don

Thank you for the reply Allen. I have forwarded your information to my friend and directed him to your website so he may be in touch with you directly. - Don

I have a friend on the East Coast (USA) that has a couple of cassette recordings he made of live Jazz sessions during the early 1980's that he has digitized but is unsatisfied with the results. The recordings were done in small clubs with a portable cassette recorder set up on a table. The individual who made the recordings was a friend of the artists and I believe he had their approval to make the recordings. In any event the recordings have sentimental value to my friend and he would like to restore the sound as much as reasonably possible. He has identified the problems with one of the tapes to be "wow and flutter" while the other has some background hum and other extraneous noise that he would like to have eliminated. He has no interest in releasing the recordings commercially but customarily provides copies to any of the surviving artists. He is willing to pay a reasonable amount to have the work done. I am assuming he can provide both the original cassette tapes if needed as well as CD-Rs of the digitized files. I would appreciate any recommendations of individuals that are capable of doing this sort of work. You can either post your suggestions here or send me a PM if you prefer. Thank you, Don
