Thought you might have been pinned under a jeep somewhere. Glad it ain't so.

Late as usual. Happy sticks.

Anthony Braxton - Alto Saxophone Improvisations 1979 - Arista. Been having tracking problems with the ends of sides. New needle too. Good stuff anyway.

This title seems to require the "perfect" cover art to sell it. Does it involve a penis and bagels?

Sad news Philippe Gras died following an an aneurysm last week ! He was 64. His site has been withdrawn unfortunately. His photos of Albert Ayler, Sun Ra, Cecil Taylor, Don Cherry, the Art Ensemble of Chicago were among the very best. Gras who was one of the nicest and most sincere man in the jazz photo world also had a passion for Asia and published a book of photos on Angkor with a beautiful text by philiosopher Michel Butor. Some of his most celebrated photos are the ones he took for the Actuel/Byg label. Dave Burrell's 'Echo' and Don Cherry's 'Mu, second part' are some examples of the quality of his images. Philippe is sorely being missed! Indeed! Many thanks for the information. Too bad Byg didn't reproduce better copies of the images, but they were/are a treasure.

Welcome back Shrdlu - you been missed. Ashamed to say I'm playing the Teddy Wilson box on "Documents". It sounds fine to me.

A few are great, some good and some suck.

Maybe you overestimated them from the/your beginning.

All the best to "Sticks" Ewing. Reptet yo' mama.

All the best wishes we can muster. Sorry to be so damn late.

Sorry I missed the party Al. I was out of town. All the best.

Does it contain the 2 extra tracks? They are really fine.

For starters - Misterioso (1948 BN) and The Man I Love (1954 Prestige).

3 stars.

Why?

I pick the Senators to take the whole thing unless the Browns beat 'em.

Steve Hoffman forums hosted by an egocentric mastering engineer. You can do a search.

Time for participants to take a deep breath. The question is about the quality of the recent RVG compared to........ Any views?

Many thanks.

Never thought cassettes were an "advance", only convenient.

And a very nice man. Had a good time with him and Melba and Randy one night.
