My good friend John Litweiler is on Monday nights.

I suggest traveling with a want/dream list. When confronted with so many choices, the brain tends to freeze. Take a friggin' list.

Fine, just don't miss the JRM.

I take it that's your date there in the chipper.

If you buy from DG online, you escape the sales tax - depending on the size of the order, that could pay for the shipping.

I believe you mean Illinois and Wabash.

No time to post the story here but I saw a very touching Duke / Paul exchange with all in tears. They were very connected.

In the mid-'50s Ellington did himself on Bethlehem, much to the displeasure of M. Hodeir. Around the same time Rex Stewart assembled a bunch of Fletcher Henderson alum for a masterpiece called The Big Reunion. Earlier Lu Watters and Turk Murphy dealt with '20s music by a bunch of artists. This stuff has been going on for decades with ever-diminishing results. Why not learn the originals? I fear most listening to the "tributes" have never digested the originals.

Miles was on that?! Sounds very much like Miles! Several Miles Davis discographies list the album. Others do not. There were rumors that John Coltrane was one one of the sessions. A tenor solo on 'Besame Mucho' was attributed to Coltrane but Legrand denied it. Legrand did not deny Miles' participation. I believe Philips aka Universal owns all the Legrand masters. They were issued on Columbia in the US via and exchange deal between Philips and Columbia.

Anyone missing a show in their area loses. Wonderful music/show. GO!

Air Song and Air Raid have been reissued a few times in Japan.

Can we start a thread about Me, Me, Me............?

Not suprised to hear you are a "poor college student".

I for one, accept the title. Your question is the problem.

I hope the responses will cause you to leave. Best wishes for a troubled future.

Welcome to the world of "sharing". In the last 6 months I have discovered about a dozen "blogs" offering my stuff. When I object I get very negative crap back.

My favorite phrase: "but if you like got out and buy it!"

A legal budget reissue. Probably missing a track or two.

You avatar isn't bad either. you a fan? That's a young Trotsky, right?

Never knew Mark was a Decca!

There's a rightwinger for ya. Wants to give away other folk's stuff.
