another one? jeez... incredible how many albums Norton squeezes out... JB

which Sonic's album is it on, Chewy? JB

I bought this album at least 20 years ago, haven't listened to it for at least 15... am curious if could listen to the whole album again... JB

Just read that Sly & The Family Stone are going to play at the North Sea Jazz Festival JB

thanks, Cliff!! JB

What's wrong with the LP? it scratches

good news

which issue?

looks and sounds pretty cool!!!

too bad... and the slipcase? is it worth it buy the box instead of all the cd's apart? cause the I see them in stores here everywhere, for 7 ot 8 euro's, and I should be looking for the box... JB

yep! cool shirt!!! JB

I know this is an old threat, but it came up with any solutions? is this about the US version of the RvG? JB

although old, this is an interesting threat. JB

I just discovered his music half a year ago, but am very impressed and moved by it. Another great artist I nevr get to see live. R.I.P. the band in teh big sky's getting better and better... JB

RVG in 2009. hopefully Rudy is still healty (and alive) in 2009!! JB He's probably redone the entire catalogue of BN & PR material already - they're just bringing them out in dribs and drabs MG hmmm, how long does it take, to remaster an album? JB

RVG in 2009. hopefully Rudy is still healty (and alive) in 2009!! JB

btw, sorry for the overload of reactions by myself....

May I thank all of you for the suggestions? pretty much all of them seem to be very interesting!! JB

I'm having the other books by Kahn already on a pile at home. The biography about Lee Morgan is on it's way over the ocean... and I think I'm going to order "West Coast Jazz" tonight, after so many recommendations. (or I'll go to a bookstore tomorrow afternoon, I'd like to support my local book and record stores) JB

I can also recommend this book. One of the best jazz books I've read. Almost every page made me want to pull out the records. After this book has been seconded here, I'll herewith third it. D: And to go on in a different vein (following up the Chess ansd Atlantic recommendations), how about doing you book reading online for a while? This site http://hubcap.clemson.edu/~campber/rsrf.html will tell you a lot of details about a LOT of Chicago blues and jazz labels from the golden era. More than you could possibly ever put into a printed book. But beware - it IS geared towards collectors who a sticklers for details too. wowwww, what a great site, this is!!! thanks a lot!! (nice reading during my nightshift, right now... :)) JB

No...not more revelatory than THAT! Hell, NOTHING is! But, I just think a session left in the can from 1961 of Jimmy, Q. Warren and Donald Bailey has GOT to be a great session. I always think some of Jimmy's best years were '60-'63 ish. "Best" is a silly word. But he was finding the essence of what would become the style that would remain with him until the end of his life during this period imho. Anyway, enough academic b.s....let's hear that tape! For me, the revelation came like a jolt of electricity when I heard Live At Club Baby Grand Vol. 2. made in 1956, which I am now realizing is JOS BEFORE Groovin' at Small's. Wow. isn't Live At Baby Grand due for a connoisseur or a RvG?? JB

thanks a lot!!! this will keep me busy for this summer!! JB

looking forward to that first one, too. and thanks for tip of the second one. it's getting rave reviews on Amazon, too. JB

[ That one's a gem. I too found it brand new, within the past two years. See elsewhere in this thread for info on the hidden track.

cool! how was it? as good as Shaft? JB
