Lots of mixed feelings here. Maybe I will resurrect a piece I wrote about Bernard in 2005. Hope I can find it.

Nappy Brown Brown Betty Betty Grable

True.

I will try mine in the morning.

Impressive set. Had it out to load into iTunes last week.

Ann and I bought tickets for the whole deal.

Wish I was in a position to send all that money.

Hope mine arrives soon. While the rest of you are waiting, check out Silver Cornet. :-)

So, he can purchase alcohol now?

Nothing wrong with delusional in my world. I spend most of my time there. Glance at my work and state otherwise.

Relax Jim, take a walk around the block, confess and begin anew.

and I thought this would be a simple topic without sturm und drang. silly me.

I object. WTF do u no. :-)

I agree with Justin V. "Archival Releases" are entirely different from new recordings by active artists. We should think about it.

It works just as well.

Jeff is killin'. Wish I still had that Pee Wee Dot.

from my facebook page tonight: Some days I believe Dvorak and Borodin were the world champs at melody. Other days I think of Ayler and Ornette. Borodin is winning tonight.

Just received a reasonably priced Verve "I've Got the World on a String/Under the Stars" 2 cd set from ebay (12 GBP, open but as new). Stangely there is some sequential issue of the booklet pages. While there is not a missing page at all, the Disc Two contents are listed as first page after the outer sleeve with the original LP front and rear sleeve reproduction, while the Disc One contents are at the end of the booklet after the credits and before/opposite a Satchmo velvet photo and the rear sleeve of the "Under the stars" LP. Is it the same with any of yours? BTW, Satchmo shines. Fantastic, and thanks for bringing this release up. Alex Jim's thread caused me to order a used copy and it arrived without a booklet. I ordered another cheap one in hopes of at least getting a readable booklet. Ha ha, exactly the same here. Second copy came with booklet, but with the same wrong page sequence. Actually, I kept the discs of the first set, as the second ones were somewhat scratched (and the first had a somewhat beat up digipack). My second set was sans booklet as well. Will be satisfied with scans from a friend. Sigh.

Tonight, Myra Melford, Mark Dresser and Matt Wilson at Constellation.

Same here.
