  3. What a coincidence - I just heard this for the first time last night at a local restaurant in Kittery, Maine called The Black Birch. One of the things that makes this tiny restaurant unique is they only play vinyl LPs and the orange vinyl caught my eye.
  4. "Brothers Sun" was not renewed for a season 2. Nope. We saw the movie so we won't be watching an extended version of that story. It's the opposite of a "feel good" story.
  5. If you ever come across the XRCD of "Quiet Kenny", I remember it sounding much better than the OJC CD. This XRCD is made in Japan so maybe it has the same mastering as your Japanese CD.
  6. I dumped both of those sets years ago because I found the sound harsh, which I blamed on the SBM mastering. Maybe with my failing hearing, I could listen to these now. Barney Wilen with the Mal Waldron Trio - French Story (Pony Canyon UHQCD). I blame Lon for buying this. Years ago, I was not a big fan of Wilen and sold off a bunch, maybe even a few to him, and moved on. Now here I am, probably 25 years later, with 16 Wilen discs in my collection.
  7. I'm pretty sure that is why this CD was released in Japan. The box set had just come out in 1998 & I bet there were Japanese buyers who were not happy that they would have to buy that box if they wanted to hear these alternates. I also think that's why it is so rare. In general, the Japanese buyers don't seem to miss these alternate takes. A lot of Japanese CDs don't add anything to the original LP and they still sell.
  8. Herbie Hancock - Riot (Blue Note Japan). This somewhat rare Japanese CD of alternate takes from several of Herbie's Blue Note sessions was released in 1999 and didn't seem to sit on the shelves for long. All of these alternates have been released on various CDs over the years but I picked this up mainly due to its rarity.
  9. Mark Masters is still at it. I have a couple of his more recent CDs, a Gary McFadden tribute, "Wish Me Well" (2006) & an Ellington tribute, "Ellington Saxophone Encounters" (2012). I bought both mainly because they have Gary Smulyan on them but I have no regrets as there is some great playing by all on these two.
  10. One For All at Smoke with special guest George Coleman. It was a great night.
  11. It looks like it's not out until May... Looking at the recording studio, I am surprised by the solid reflective surfaces all around the band members. Most studios seem to have sound absorbing materials on the walls.
  12. Old cars & motorcycles are great to look at, no doubt; but in general, they really aren't anywhere near as fun to drive as a modern car, especially those old American boats that cornered like a whale. And don't get me going on those old Indian motorcycles with the suicide foot clutch, stick shift, left hand throttle advance & right hand spark advance. I don't know how my father ever drove those things.
  13. I left a job where I had to get a clearance and I was told to minimize my social footprint for that. Now that I am no longer in that job, I can go back to using my name.
  14. If you're not looking trying for a negative spin, then why the "rip off George Coleman" comment? I guess in your eyes that's a compliment?
  15. Dan - Maybe it's just me, but it seems like you're fishing for some anti-Eric Alexander sentiments here. I don't feel like playing that game. This video is about a new improv course Alexander is selling to beginners based on his years of teaching the subject. Of course his basic premise is going to be "Play changes", as it is pretty good advice for beginners.
  16. I haven't played that one in a while. I remember liking it quite a bit.
  17. BTW - on both nights, we tried going to Smalls, which is a block away from Mezzrow, but on both nights, they were completely sold out, even the standing room areas. I guess that's good news for these clubs.
  18. I had a blast in New York City these last few days. Maria Schneider's orchestra was phenomenal and I had great seats at Birdland. Afterward, we headed to Mezzrow and saw pianist Wilfie Williams. Mezzrow is a tiny club. I don't know how they make any money in that place as it looks like it has about 35 seats. But at the same time - what a great club! The acoustics are really good and the band is right there, a few feet from us. Friday night at Smoke with One For All & George Coleman was also a fun time. Again, I had great seats. The club came out of Covid as a "dinner club", which turned out to be a good, albeit expensive thing, as it allowed us to meet the band members before the show. What a great bunch of guys. After the Smoke show (), we again headed down to Mezzrow for Roberta Picket. Unfortunately, this time we got there too late to get seats so we stood in the back, outside the listening room. Acoustics were (obviously) not as good. But what we heard was some great playing, especially by bassist Andy McKee.
  19. Sorry to hear about Bill's passing. As the years fly by, it seems like they get shorter.
  20. I know someone who had to supply Facebook with their photo ID for similar reasons and I think it's safe for you to do this as long as it's truly a Facebook support page. You said you went to Facebook directly and clicked Support? That should be OK. Don't follow any links in any e-mails. This doesn't make sense to me. As I said, I've changed my password recently and I had to enter a code that was e-mailed to me before I could change it. I don't see how this hacker bypassed that feature. Maybe I turned on some sort of added protection at one point?
  21. BTW - nothing has been posted to your account since yesterday, so if this person did this for nefarious reasons, they haven't done it yet.
