  1. Yes, a blessed Christmas to all. Very thankful for this community!
  2. Agreed. To my ears, they had figured out optimal digital remastering by the late 90's, so any remaster from then or later generally suffices for me. I will sometimes upgrade for packaging or bonus tracks.
  3. Alexander is my favorite jazz player who started after the 70's. Harold Mabern shines on this (no surprise)
  4. Neither is almost everything else everyone's ever recorded. 'The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady' is a desert island disc for me.
  5. Depends. Martyn's 'Bless The Weather'/'Solid Air'/'Inside Out'/'Sundays Child'/'Live at Leeds' era was amazing, and the earlier folky stuff was excellent, but to me he then artistically fell off a cliff with 'One World' and never recovered, even though he kept cranking out album after album.
  6. He's a great guitar player, and she's an incredible songwriter. Saw them with Emmylou Harris, and have many of their CD's.
  7. Two concerns holding me back from jumping on the CD set yet (though I may well get there soon enough). First is sound quality questions (i.e. " The audio was restored from decades old cassette tapes which have never been heard until now.") - I don't see any audio samples on the site. Second is like half the set being taken up with 'Bye Bye Blackbird', 'St. Thomas', and 'Just The Way You Are', though the other selections look great.
  8. I love 'Stand Up' and 'Benefit' and the stray early cuts which made it onto 'Living In The Past'. I like 'This Was', 'Aqualung' and 'Thick As A Brick' quite a bit. It gets spotty for me after that. And I quite enjoy the Blodwyn Pig albums with Mick Abrahams.
  9. Thanks, I picked up 'Aqualung' , 'Thick as a Brick', 'Songs From The Wood' and 'Minstrel in the Gallery' in the past few days, noticed the prices were back to normal on them!
  10. I was huge on them from 'This Was' to 'Thick As A Brick'. 'Passion Play' was lost on me, though I should go back and listen to it. These 40th Anniversary sets are beautiful, wish I had picked up on 'Stand Up - The Elevated Edition' when it was affordable.
  11. I had the Tull and Allman Bros. back in the day also, even on short available discretionary $ as a 16 year old teenager. Didn't get the Dead album for many years (CD era), so missed out on the magnificent "The Other One" back in the day!
  12. +1. I got a used copy of it in the past six months and really liked it.
  13. That birthdate seems to be wrong, though still quite a life: Carno, Zita Born: April 15, 1935 Country: New York City, U.S.A Studies: Manhattan School of Music (B.M.1956, M.M.1957) Teachers: V. Giannini, Charles Mills, Wallingford Riegger
  14. I can't find connection online, but would place money it needs to be there.
  15. I'm a big cat person, have had them my whole adult life. Our current cat is inches away from me right now. She is like a dog in some ways, constantly hangs out with us, following us from room to room, lays in our laps all winter. Also sleeps with us at night. Thankful for her company. And she's great with our five year old grandson, who lives with us! We've never had a christmas tree disaster with any of ours. I used to have a cat with silver/grey fur, and she would lie underneath an old aluminum Christmas tree I had (actually still have it, but haven't put it up in years since the house got more occupied), and change colors along with the tree when the color wheel was running.
  16. Discogs shows one recording as a leader (1996), and no other appearances as a sideman. Bio: He first picked up flute and sax after several inspirational encounters in New York around 1970. He played regularly with xxxx's free-form jazz ensemble around the midwest until 197?. Eventually he landed in California for good in 1981, where he became a die-hard member of the L.A. jazz scene. Thread bread-crumb: this has to do with cut #10.
  17. #10 is by an obscure L.A.tenor play who put out a great album. #3 is by a guy who is QUITE well-known on this board, and there is not a vibes player on the album. surprised no one has figured it out.
