  1. I'm curious about the editor(s) when that happened. Please let me/us know.
  2. only 200? What's the problem? The number was a joke but in reality few are waiting for this and the cd might generate an unusual amount of returned cds. It is primarily interesting as a Coltrane "curio" for late Trane collectors and "regular" Trane collectors will feel let down.
  3. Can be corrected if you have the money. Some folks here would find it hard to listen to then.
  4. Give Mr S a cigar. I was about to post the same thing. Unforgivable error if you consider yourself a Hitchcock fan.
  5. Finding more than 200 customers is the problem.
  6. Interested parties will find many fine Jordan recordings on SteepleChase.
  7. What Bol said about the rhythm sections. Me too.
  8. While in high school I bought Cookin'. That and Soultrane (purchased the same day) were my first Prestige records. I was intrigued by the yellow and black labels.
  9. I read this is supposed to have a bonus track. Too bad there's no tracklisting available yet. Does anyone know anything about this? The 1988, US issue had an alternate of Cool Eyes (3:50) and It Ain't S'Posed To Be Like That (6:21) added to the program.
  10. May 20, 1969 was my 25th birthday. Do many of you remember the context of this stuff? Pretty hard to understand unless you were there. Much harder to criticize it.
  11. If she indeed gave the guy her "last four digits" I'd be very diligent.
  12. We need to remember the huge Fantasy inventory has been moved to a new warehouse and it would be normal to "find" stuff as that inventory diminishes. In addition it is not a given that anyone at Concord knows the product/inventory.
  13. That would be almost 83 minutes.
  14. Well, as Miles once noted, it is really fine wood. By the '70s they stopped sending them out unless requested. Then they turned out to be made of particle board.
  15. And not by Duke - Norman Simmons' version on his album "In private" is one I find a particular knockout. He says in the sleeve note that he always thought pling the tune fast was wrong; he aways imagines a string of camels plodding slowly through the sand. So he plays it slowly, with Lisle Atkinson behind him giving up the "A love supreme" riff. I think that's THE masterpie version of the tune. MG I find this kind of discussion bothering. This implies jazz is a repertoire music, not an improvisational/performance music. The value of a piece like Caravan ultimately rests on the performances resulting and these performances are "apples and oranges". This type of comparison plays into the worst aspects (IMO) of jazz academia as it exists today. Duke, Mingus and Roach made a fine performance based on Caravan, as have many others. This individual performance is what matters, not other performances. Do we downplay Bird's "Out of Nowhere" because some consider Tristano's version superior? Ridiculous! What is the best blues in b flat? Idiotic!
  16. Those were applied at the factory, not the store.
  17. Lon ignores my current favorite from the session - Caravan, where Duke temporarily "gives the slip" to the other guys.
  18. There are two more very fine tunes from Smithville. That rules out (hopefully) a 2 on 1 disc. Just checked and the 2 issues lps won't fit anyway.
  19. Washboard Sam Sam Philips Phil Woods
  20. Do they walk on the other side of the street?
  21. Sorry to hear that. I'd hoped you'd live longer.
  22. Please give me the catalog number of that box.
  23. Job for Concord: The McLean sessions are a mess on lp/cd. How about sorting them out and start by giving us a disc of the quartet material with Mal Waldron.
  24. Sorry to hear this. Back in my retail days I met Russ Solomon, the founder and liked him a lot. He changed the face of record sales. He lost control a few years ago but Tower's problems still bother me. I also like their online search features. Hope they can pull it out.
