So, you die in a car crash, from cancer, whatever......... Your heirs will be cursing your corpse for the trouble the have disposing of your collection.

Peter's information is correct with one big correction to the original question. The real originals were 78s with no cover art - next came a 10" lp with a cover reproduced on the front of the current RVG.

Mention of Roy reminds me that when Bob Sunenblick (Uptown owner) called Mr Haynes about the Boston 1952 session with Joe Gordon, Mingus & Twardzik the first thing out of his mouth was "do I take a solo?". When told there were no drum solos he said "yeah, I don't ever remember Bird letting me solo".

Haven't had any herb with global implications in some time. B-)

Hawk and Jaws Night Hawk.

Welcome. I'm pleased Mike was able to drag you over here from rmb.

All of the above.

Do not rush into anything. I will let others post and have my say later.

Sorry Ghost, it is a 4 disc set.

Who is Virgel Pumphrey (sp)?

First, brush up on your typing skills (so we do not misunderstand your posts) and then listen to someone like Albert Ayler, Roscoe Mitchell or Evan Parker. I mention these folks so you can see how far the "technique bar" has been lifted.

2004?

I deleted my post. Sorry if I offended any.

Met a tenor player once who could beat the shit out of any drummer or trombonist he met. Talk about talent!

Hal added tenor late in his (second) life. When drummer Hal attended university he discovered they didn't give certificates/diplomas for percussion so he switched to trumpet. He loved Trane's Interstellar Space and was really impressed when I introduced him to Evan Parker (on record).

It is very dangerous to get dogmatic about "legit" techniques - circumstances can easily alter "values'.

That must have taken some time.

This situation has existed for at least half a century, so we can't blame digital. Isolation and dead rooms are not necessarily the same thing. "Natural sound" can be many different things to different listeners in different listening situations and I don't believe it is always the best sound for a given musical presentation.

Chiseling tablets again?

My fault. Sorry.

Don't know about that one.

Yup, Tesser can be really good when he works at it. Thanks, I had not read that.

Isn't this another "foreigner" trying to pass as a jazz fan? Bah!

I got your "jazz organ discography" right here!

Pucker up Jazzbo.
