How did you get the software to change your birthday, or did you do it yourself?

There was one photo taken in the Hackensack studio, where there's photo of someone playing the piano, don't remember whom it was, but it was just a shot of the musicians back and the blinds covering the window. It doesn't appear in the book I have, but I did see it once on some website. I'll have to try to track it down.

Do you mean a sideman or as a leader? I don't know of anything before his 51' session for Prestige. His sessions with Babs Gonzales from the late 40's may be available on emusic. You can signup for the trial period and download them.

Yeah, there's a lot of photos in the book with musicans smoking. Kind of makes you say, "yeah, smoking is cool." Man, I bet Van Gelder's studio must have reeked from smoke.

One of favorite photos of his, is that of Sam Jones from Sonny Red's "Out of the Blue." You can see the smoke and the flame burning form Jone’s cigarette and rising through the air. Just a great shot. I don't know if anyone else has the book of his photos. There just so many great shots in there.

Thanks, I'll have to come up with what TOCJ's I would want and can afford.

b3-er, how much harder is it to learn the organ over the piano? I know there are all those pedals on the organ which adds to the equation.

Any CD's there that might be worth her picking up for me? Plus, would the cost be the same if I ordered them from the states. I read once that you pay list price for CD's in Japan, no discounts.

Thanks

Can someone tell me an easy way to convert US dollars to Euros?

I forgot about that one.

Of course not. Maybe my questions should have said are there any of his photos that don't grab you.

What do you think of this session? I am going through it for the 5th time, and it's starting to grow on me. Anyone else liking it?

Every photo I ever seen by Francis Wollf was great. I can't think of 1 photo I didn't like that he took, at least none from any albums. Can you think of any?

Now I wonder about the numbers. Two years ago I bought the Blue Mitchell set at the same time as a friend. The number were off by 800 from each set. Do they just grab any set and mail it? Is it done numerically one after the other?

Then maybe there's something wrong with my copy. There are points when as if the mic is outside the club and muffled.

I bought this a few months back and I hate to say it sucks. Sound is very bad. Too bad, I like both Miles and Jimmy Forrest.

Everyday when come here, at the bottom, it says 1 member is celebrating his/her birthday today deus62(63)

Man, you must get a lot of presents.

I've never collected any jazz 45's before. But here's the question. Were the 45's different takes then what would appear on the LP's? The times are shorter, this could be because you have less space on 45's then on full albums. Anyone can lend some instight to this?

Still down when I try. All you get is, We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please try back later. Thank you

A bottle of jack came help ease the pain for a while. Sorry to read this.

To say you seen a giant play is worth going to see him. When I saw Joe Hendrson in 1999, my friend stopped him as he walked off the stage. Joe was real nice and shook our hands. He was gone 2 years later. I was glad I went and saw him. I saw Count Basie at the end of his career. He came out on the stage of the Savoy Ballroom in a electric wheelchair. He still gave a great show. Hopefully Elvin has his bother Hank's genes and will be with us for some time to come.

Penguin estimates that between 3 million and 4 million copies have been sold of John Coltrane's Love Supreme. So does this make A Love Supreme the best selling jazz album of all time?

Horace Silver will be at the Blue Note those dates.
