  1. Poor dog... They had to put it down...
  2. Over here it's almost April 2, only a few minutes to go... Can't wait...
  3. Wonder what happened to all those "old" members; haven't seen them around for years - at least it seems that long to me.
  4. Ha, I feel a BNBB-style Freshman / Freshmen spelling fight coming on Those were the days...
  5. Judging by this review we have a winner : Four Freshmen AMG review
  6. Hey guys, Why don't you restrict the fighting to the political arena?

  8. Mike, I live in Groningen, the Netherlands. We used to have a thriving annual international jazz festival (the "Jazz Marathon") and lots of great jazz concerts way back in the 1970s, but it's kind of dead these days. You're right, it's best to ignore those musical zealots, though that's a bit harder when you get your head bitten off by one. However, that's not why I didn't renew - like I said it is the lack of modern jazz coverage over the years and the IAJRC's bias towards predominantly white pre-bop jazz, and the price of a subscription ($40, non-U.S. price) to a four times a year magazine that doesn't interest me that much except for the CD review section.
  9. Bop and later jazz styles met with outright hostility from some of the contributors to the IAJRC Journal, at least a few years ago; according to one of them it had nothing to do with music.
  10. Mike's post has a lot of valid points, but writing articles about jazz in English is not my forte, so contributing to the IAJRC Journal is out of the question for me. The magazine is the only benefit for me too, but I also skip a lot of articles for reasons stated in my first post. I agree with JohnS, at $40 a year (non-U.S. price) a subscription is a costly affair for a four times a year magazine, the more so since most of the time the CD review section is the only part that really interests me.
  11. I've been a member of the International Association of Jazz Record Collectors (IAJRC) for quite a few years, but I decided not to renew my membership for the following reason. One of the primary purposes of the IAJRC is "...to maintain an Association of collectors of jazz recordings of all eras and styles..."; my main objection is that, contrary to this statement, they seem to be very much biased towards older, pre-bop jazz styles and mainly white jazz musicians - though I admit that they've been reviewing an increasing number of "modern" (i.e. bop and later) recordings in their Journal lately. Any opinions on the IAJRC?
  12. It's a series that came out in Japan in 1997 / 1998. These are the only ones I could find (jewel cases only): MVCJ-19022 - Illinois Jacquet - Go Power MVCJ-19023 - Bunky Green - The Latinization of Bunky Green MVCJ-19024 - Three Souls - Soul Sounds MVCJ-19026 - Interpreters - Knack MVCJ-19027 - Sam Lazar - Playback MVCJ-19028 - Baby Face Willette - Behind the 8 Ball MVCJ-19029 - Lou Donaldson - Rough House Blues MVCJ-19030 - Ramsey Lewis - Goin' Latin Some of them might still be available.
  13. Yep, $10,000.00 for an original Elvis Presley LP, way back in the 1970s.
  14. No, but it just ended at $2,800.00...
  15. It stands at $2,678.00 with a few hours left to go...

    This is a GREAT album, indeed with a perfect program.
  18. Didn't know that. Do you have a CD number?
