Try Sonic.

F.D.A. Orders Artificial Hip Study Do they want an artificial study of hips? Maybe an artificially hip study. Boy am I confused.

It was in pretty bad shape the last time I saw it - looked like folks dance to McDuff on it. Good luck.

or saw it.

and...

Our current favorite along with Good Wife.

Did not mean to dis the thread. Just having my fun. I am serious about the Debussy thing. What's your feeling Lon?

I am wondering about Debussy's fingering. Could he really "do justice" to his own piano music? I'm also feeling stupid adding to his thread. Seems to be a quasi-facebook topic.

I'm happy for ya.

Look here: LOC

New Jazz preceded Prestige. Prestige was started with the Stitt/Powell quartet.

Just buy Captain Marvel and let the rest go.

Everyone's a critic.

Agreed.

Sorry, I was just venting. A similar thing happened with my Air recording - the reviewer thought he was getting a different group and was pissed. The review has now been removed. I buy lots of stuff on Amazon (never check the cd reviews) and rely on reviews for other stuff like faucets, appliances, etc. This suggests to me negative reviews do matter. The "ax to grind" thing was related to the attack on Fred Atwood, not the recording (or me). I wasn't fishing for positive reviews, just letting off steam. This was probably a result of taking Chantix.

That's not the point. Folks make choices based on the stars. I can take the stuff personally.

Thanks for the responses.

Seems like someone has an ax to grind. He gave it 2 stars and said: There is two big problems with this CD. The mix sucks big time. Too much emphasizing the solo instrument while pushing back everything else too much. The other is the less than stellar performance by the bass player. And then they (the producer I guess) continue to bring him to the font with lousy uninspired long solos... Stay away. I only sell a few copies a year, love this recording, spent a bundle on the mix for the cd and am really bothered. The review counters a 5 star review and drops the average. Sorry for the whine.

He probably paid for the studio time.

Dixon (not Savoy) owned the quartet master.

At around 5:25 the heavier guy with slicked back hair talking to Avakian could be Brad McCuen.

4 u, yes.

Drummer does not look anything like Rosengarden.

Influenced by Mr Threadgill no doubt.

So big you have to squeeze 'em to eat 'em.
