Us at the concert. That's me and my wife on the right. Oops I meant left, those are our friends on the right, me and my wife are on the left. Check this out. Being a jazz nut, love metal, this is really, really, cool.

One original member left. But this was a sweet show. Worth every second: bizarre, unique, in German! Captivated.

Well if we're going to weigh in manuscripts/books v. movies, my first big let-down started with Copulas' adaption of Hinton's "The Outsiders;" couldn't stand it. Hated the cast, acting (can't stand Ralph Machio, Matt Dillon) clearly the director (Nick Cage's uncle) I was 12 when that crap was released.

Yes. Got my copy today. If you want this package done right! Contemporary Records always sounded good. Nice to have these discs in UNIFORMED format and then the original cover for Something Else, seals the deal. My opinion, because I like things done right, buy!

I'm just messing around. I get this movie and The Natural confused all the time; two totally different actors!

Not a medical doctor, but guessing tobacco. Dude liked to smoke.

ON CD ( and I think RVG got the remastering right) but this is some of the most INTENSNSE music released by BN. Period.

Take that Hank Jones too.

My biggest issue is get it right. There's nothing more annoying when a original album is re-released with some stupid new album-cd sleeve that makes no sense (32 Jazz) and they change the labels etc. I'm beyond how to file them; I'm embarrassed where to put them (if I even think about even buying it.) I know, "its about the music" but I can't tell you how many times I have to find the "right" sleeve and make a glossy cover of it so it's right and slip it over the ugly sleeve (Clifford Brown/Tubby New York sessions Columbia sleeve (replaced) cd version gross!) those hared Arista album covers especially Marion Brown! (Fontana/Phillips/Polydor!/Epic) (blahhh). OCD much? Guess So.

Love that Hawes album cover! Today, I treated myself to the Contemporary Ornette twofer and Blakey in Tokyo.

Think everyone is thinking Field of Dreams. Liotta. Ed Harris, Kevin Costner, James Earl Jones.

Sorry, Goodfellas, ladies and gentlemen.

I know what you mean, I didn't mean his life was a waste, what he left for us to enjoy is immeasurable, but the substance abuse cut it short was all I was saying.

Still sad. A tremendous talent wasted to alcohol.

Any pre-1970 Cecil is a treat in my book.

Who is pictured on the center label of the early Black Saint LPs?
Holy Ghost replied to Dmitry's topic in The Vinyl Frontier
Kind of strikes me looking like Bennie Maupin, though I don't think he ever recorded for the label. In support of that defense, nor did Ayler. -
Just curious, looking at the OBI strip on top, CBS has rights to distribute Candid records? Seriously, I don't know. Yeah, totally didn't see the connection. Thanks! And at Jazzcorner, I'm really losing it, where is the options button??? Nevermind... Anywho, about those awesome Prestige records posted above, good stuff.

Ignore that post above, I don't know how to delete it, but this what I meant to quote. Just curious, looking at the OBI strip on top, CBS has rights to distribute Candid records?

Cannot forget when Hannibal scalped Ray's head and was having breakfast with him (if you will) lols.

Drink and drugs were a problem in this time period. Stan Getz immediately comes to mind, who had a major drinking problem, Art Pepper, junk. Wasn't it in Miles' autobiography, where Miles said he had dinner with Paul Chambers around 1968-9, that he downed so many Zombies that he passed out right there at the table? He was dead shortly thereafter, and if I remember from Mile's account, he was not even 30? Could be wrong as I read this nearly 30 years ago and the book is packed away in storage. Tragedies abound. Sad.

Brötzmann / van Hove / Bennink - Jazz In der Kammer 1974
Holy Ghost replied to colinmce's topic in New Releases
Han is one my favorite drummers, up there with Tony Williams and Joe Chambers: incredible rhythm and timing. Expert knowledge of the kit. -

Holy Ghost replied to colinmce's topic in New Releases
No Fred, but made a major mistake passing on Brotz here in Cleveland. I was hoping for a "Die Like A Dog" outfit, but it wasn't and I passed. Nothing I can do about it now, except hope he will come nearby again in the future. -
Just got the news, very sad, loooved him in Goodfellas.

Ran into John Clayton at Cleveland Int'l Airport like 15 years ago. Recognized him immediately as he was hauling his bass on a wheel-like thing. I told him I know who you are, John Clayton, right!? And he laughed and said yup because nobody else in the airport knew who he was! Nice and congenial guy!
