On the other hand, I only listened to jazz for many years. The Dead got me back to rock. I listen to jazz 50%.

He is on a Joey D concert CD. He played fantastic. I also caught him a few years ago with Eric Alexander's group (Harold Mabern etc) and it was very exciting to see him up close.

Curiously, I was listening in the car yesterday to a trio session with Jack Wilson, Leroy Vinnegar and Philly Joe Jones.

Kind of Blue Bill Evans- Complete V V live Hank Mobley- Soul Station Coltrane- V V live Monk and Trane Live

I recently purchased these sets and have been listening to them a lot. I agree that this Trane's best work with Miles. He is amazing. He sure gets the crowd going. This Trane set is among my favorite pieces of music lately. Sonny Stitt is better than I remembered on the Sweeden sets. But he is no John Coltrane.

I was wondering why Cannonball never employed Junior Mance in the 1960's.

It's interesting that Hank was wearing a tie and looking very Mr. 1950's, when Blakey and Dizzy were in more modern garb.

I have 3 CDs from the Keystone sets. (including My Funny Valentine) Is there any additional material in the box?

I came across a live set with the brothers, Joe Zawinul, Victor Gaskin and Roy McCurdy that took place in Germany on March 20, 1969. The label is jazz haus, which apparently has some other live sets on their website. Excellant set by Cannonball and crew.

Art Pepper had his own style. He morphed his style overtime, but still retained his originality. Also, best autobiography of all time.

I was listening to Miles Davis Blackhawk CD when it the exchanges between Wynton Kelly's comping and Miles' leads struck me. I then became very interested in Miles Davis, which led me to Trane, Bill Evans, and Cannonball. Shortly after, the book "Hard Bop" came out, which gave me information as to other great artists. For about 10 years, I could only listen to jazz. I collected everything I could find. Then for old times sake, I bought a Grateful Dead concert from their '72 Europe tour. I expanded my horizons with rock etc. I listen about 50/50 to jazz and rock now.

I went to see the Grateful Dead movie last night. Sad to say that when I paid for the tickets, I said: "Two seniors for the Grateful Dead".

Saw Furthur in Mizner Park, Boca Raton. Great set list. Great fun!! Exceeded my expectations.

I hope the Dolphins pick him up. He is inventive, imaginative and has a full deep sound. Parcells would like a veteran to add to the team.

Philly Joe was the top hard bop drummer in my book. When I was just getting into jazz, I always looked to see if he was the drummer. I love the Sonny Clark Trio session (Two Bass Hit). What about Gone, Gone, Gone from the Porgy and Bess sessions. Elmo Hope's great trio sessions for Blue Note had Philly Joe. Lee Morgan's, The Cooker, was outstanding. Of course, Workout and Another Workout are outstanding. Everybody Digs Bill Evans with Philly Joe. Didn't Bill Evans consider Philly Joe his favorite drummer?

Likewise. Dead at its most proficient. Longest Sugaree's from this time. Dick Pick 29 (6CDs from this period) is amongst my favorite DPs.

It sounds like the Road Trips controversey for the Grateful Dead reissues. Should they have a great concert or snippets from different decades. I know I would like to have a recording of his big concert with Roy Haynes :& Christian McBride earlier this year. He's got a zillion great concerts. Lets get some more concerts out there.

Your're proud of not being Jewish or are you proud of your heritage? Needless to say there is a large Jewish contingent playing high quality jazz. Being Jewish, I am proud of that

Interestingly I happened to be listening to Cannonball's collaboration with Oliver Nelson. Except for 1 cut, it is 1965. The 20 minute cut from 1970, obviously taken from another session, is much more out than I personally have ever heard from Cannonball. It is part mood piece, part screechy playing (in a good way), and harking from In a Silent Way. The cut goes in and out in different direction s, now a mood part, now a groove part with electric piano etc. Quite remarkable.

I'm addicted to the My Little Pony cover band.

I just hope it's not a limited edition. Otherwise we'll be stepping over each other as if we were the last American in Saigon.

It appears that many of us are going to get $1K+ check (for family men anyhow). It wouldn't be the worse idea to prop up Mosaic by makeing a purchase. It's obviously a win win situation. What are you going to buy with this money? Bye the way I think its the stupidest use of money the government has conceived of. The same money we can play with and buy jazz, could have stretched a poor person's budget tremendously. Not that I couldn't use the check, but still.

Thank you for your responses. I was wondering which Trane Prestige CDs is it safe to trade to get the "Leader" set from Concord and not miss anything. I know the 2d set has the sideman sessions, although apparently incomplete.

I have most, if not all, the Prestige sessions led by Trane. Apprarently there are 11. I have the opportunity for a reasonably good deal on the new Trane leader set, which I interested in because of the remastering and because I can trade in my old Trane CDs. Is there a list of CD's on this set? Also is there anything missing if you get both new sets.? Thanks

I recently purchased a Jerry Garcia Band 3 CD set from Jerry's website. It has Keith on the electric piano. While I preferred the acoustic piano (this also is even more important for jazz recordings) the electric was more than tolerable with Keith. I am awaiting the 1979 set. I always thought that Brent was put louder in the mix than that for Keith and they allowed more soloing for Brent. Also Keith played much more sparser than Brent.
