Thanks for posting this. Great to see the shots.

Depending on the room, I would NEVER place speakers over 8 feet apart for "critical" listening. Anything greater is "show biz" in my world. YMMV.

????????? Revenues, wtf am that?

Please, no value judgments - Dan has his qualities and I have mine. Let us move on.

I will stand here as the dumb, stupid, etc. Can we please move on? I was wrong at every turn. OK?

Yup, whatever anyone said. They be a GREAT source for a bunch of stuff we like. All need to understand, nomatter the hippness of the "site", their inventory is small.

Sorry to be the topic in a thread, but I tried to stay away from Dan (my dastardly enemy). But, NOOOOOOOOO, he took a swiipe at me in another thread. I reacted like a "high school student". DAMN! Fight it out you "knaves", the SMART against the STUPID!!!!!!!!!

I have been corresponding with Jason Marsh (Warne's younger son). I gave him a link to this thread 'cause I thought he might enjoy it. I hope he chooses to participate. Jason currently lives in Japan and he plays electric bass.

'Bout time!

He was a good guy! Interesting that Les and Norman Granz were "refugees" from the film biz, thanks to HUAC.

For quality, I completely agree with jhoots. You can get the rest later.

this edit is about a big mistake on my part. no replies to this idiot (unless I can't stand it) .

Nah, you responded, so you "give a shit".!

Have not bought the set, 'cause I'm sure I have 90% of the music. In my early "career" I admired LK, in my retail career bought records directly from Les (wish I could find the letters), and around 1980 spent a day in the offices at 8481 Melrose Place. Saw the warehouse/studio, recording booth and mastering facility. We all should bow down to Lester Koenig, Alfred Lion, Nesuhi Ertegun and a host of others. We all owe as much to them as to the musicians we worship!

I think this poll is insulting. Please, this has nothing to do with my earlier battle with Dan. We are asked, what might be, the most personal questions about our life. Sorry, the very life of the poll repulses me. Does this have anything to do with "music" or "jazz"? Anyone with the "balls" can email me for my personal sexual experiences, current or earlier. I will decide if I want to share the information. So I say "Stick it where the sun don't shine"! On second thought, maybe Dan is looking for a chance to posl his "conquests". I think this is almost as stupid as posting your collection online!

Even if the message from Bertrand is correct, do you really need this material when there are 5000 Morgan records out there?

General wisdom: Not from the Lighthouse, not same material, does not sound good. If you have the BN Lighthouse set, want more in worse sound, get the FS material.

Great news David - sorry I'm late to the show. I'll be looking for individual shows about Roscoe, Bowie, Von, Warne, Threadgill, Charles Tyler, Wadada, Hal Russell, Eddie Johnson, Fred Anderson, etc. The local station WBLV, home of Lazaro Vega, aka Blue Lake, asked once if I'd fill in while Laz was on vacation. I said I'd do it if I didn't have to give "time and weather". They did not ask again. You coming our way this summer? Ann and I might be able to mount an Organissimo based party. Just remember "it is the public's bandwidth"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AFAIK, Hardman led no dates between the Savoy and the first Muse. Schlitten did not have a label between Muse/Onyx and Xanadu. Onyx only had the silver series. Onyx ended, not because of licensing problems, but in litigation between Don and Joe Fields (Muse). I have no idea about these "red" issues.

The anguished cries of my enemies preceeding me. B)

Same here. My set should arrive tomorrow or the day following. I don't mind the "bundled cd" idea.

You should go the the New World site and check out the various "quantity deals". I think if you buy 2, you get 1 free OR buy 10 and the disc price drops to $10. The 2 disc set has notes by Stanley Crouch and Bill Weilbacher (producer). The other volume has 4 pages of notes by Weilbacher.

So where's a Bobo Stensen set!!!!

Have not seen the film, not a "Schbielburg" fan and I think the film MUST suck for a jazz fan. B) Golson has to be one of the easier autographs from the picture. Gotta love the "marketing" for the photo! America at it's "best/worst". Shit, they even have a website or two.
