  1. Damn, I missed that one.
  2. I just received an email informing me of a saving of .42 Euro off the original price offering.
  3. Roscoe called this morning and convinced me we should go.

  5. From my perspective, the Andrew Hill BN set is the most important but I have received the most pleasure from the Carmell Jones set.
  6. Thanks. Dig deep, the music is better than the sound.
  7. Andy Devine, Sarah Vaughan, Freeman Brothers
  8. Here is a poster for a concert in St Louis in 1967. It was the Old/Quartet band (Bowie, Favors & Wilson) with Thurman Barker as a guest, IIRC. We drove down from Chicago for the event.
  9. Just realized I'm younger by 2 years. Not much time to catch up.
  10. I first discovered this recording on a Vox/Turnabout reissue in 1968. I was managing a record store in Bloomington Indiana and we sold something like 400 copies. This generated a phone call from George Mendelssohn, owner of Vox.
  11. I got the same email.
  12. teeth - big thing for wind players.
  13. Yes, and recovering from implants. He is ready to go.
  14. Just got off the phone with Ira. I called him because I hadn't heard from him for a while and the last time was about surgery. I had been worried about his health and it turns out he is more vigorous than I. Keep on keeping on Ira. He will be 87 in a few weeks.
  15. The next Uptown issue was to be a 2 disc Dodo Marmarosa set.
  16. I'd have said the same on international men's day.
  17. Little appreciation for novelty acts these days. Maybe she should try playing 3 clarinets at once.
  18. John Litweiler reviews "Ride the Wind" (along with "Accelerated Projection" by Roscoe and Matt Shipp) in the latest Point of Departure. http://www.pointofdeparture.org

    I understand the latter problem but enjoy challenges. FWIW, Jelly Roll Morton still falls in to that category.

    Question for all. If you like something is it because it is new and challenges you or is it your comfort zone?
  21. not necessarily the way it works.
  22. As someone with decades in the music retail business, I mourn his passing. He was a giant in that market. Met him once and he seemed to be a nice human. Thanks Russ, I know you sold a bunch of nessa records.
