Happy Birthday!

I wondered about this too. I figured it was just another instance of Lloyd's involvement with non jazz musicians, like when he started his career with B.B. King & Bobby Bland or having the Beach Boys involved with a 70's LP.

I really dig Live in Japan. He has many of the usual songs in his setlist, but he stretches out on his solos and there are more instrumentals then on a normal live recording from the time.

Did anyone end up buying this one?

the twinkies just came from one run down to defeat mariano! Kind of a confidence builder for the team when they take the first two games from the Yanks. Started out 1-5, now 6-5. If Johan could get back on track, maybe we could do something.

Never seen one. Might be even more rare than a Beatles Butcher cover!

I went to Etta James on Tuesday night. The band was very tight with a horn section. Has anyone seen her before? I was wondering if she always seems a little out of it. She would introduce tunes, forget which she was introducing, and have to ask the band what song it was.

saw Roy at the Artist Quarter this past January. Great show, with a relaxed atmosphere. Before the first set, Roy sat at the bar and signed autographs. My favorite leader sessions are "We Three" and "Out of the Afternoon."

Man, have you been reading my mail! Seriously, I do the same thing.

This seller drives me nuts. Last year, I ordered a rare J.B. Lenoir CD from this guy, waited a month and half without seeing or hearing anything. I email him and he says that it is out of print and refunds my money. A month ago, I see he has tons of hard to find Classics CDs up for sale, so I email him and ask if they are in stock. He actually replied that they do not know what is in stock until people buy the CD!

I know what your saying, it's crazy! IMHO, it's even harder to deal with because he stocks so many great titles. Right now, it looks like I am in the same position as you, but with this seller named moviemarz. I ordered 6 CDs from him and he hasn't responded to any of my emails. He has a 98% feedback and I have had good luck with him in the past, but I have a bad feeling this time because most of the CDs were hard to find Solal CDs.

It's funny the seller is CDHUT. I have been eyeing some titles this seller has up right now: 2 Marsh titles, 2 Misha Mengelberg titles, and a couple of Martial Solal titles. I emailed the seller with a question and received a response pretty quickly, but I still had a weird feeling. Last week, at the Ray Davies concert, I asked a friend of mine if he had ordred from the seller. He told me he had done it a few times, but had problems with him not sending titles right away, sometimes sending the wrong CD, and not responding to emails.

I think his seller is someone other than Nerdz. The funniest thing about my whole ordeal with Nerdz was that after 2 months of hassles they wouldn't even reply to any inquiries from paypal about the status of the order. 2 weeks wouldn't bother me either, but in this case I would be mad because of the statement that the CDs were on order.

The seller I had problems with was Nerdz, who is not on ebay any longer.

I had a seller like this too. It drives you crazy because you know your stuff is just sitting there while they post more stuff. In my case, I was lucky because my CDs came, where some people were stiffed.

I have dealt with this BS too. Did the auction say anything in the fine print about CDs could take up to a month? I ordered a ton of the Classics CDs from a seller on ebay and he had the disclaimer in the auction, so I had to wait a month to file something with PayPal. After the month, he claimed to PayPal that he had sent them, so I had to wait a additional month to prove he hadn't. Who is the seller?

I bought it the first day it came out, but have only played it once. I thought the CD started great and then went nowhere. Maybe my expectations are too high from the run of albums he had up to the mid-nineties, but to me, he used to bat in the .700 or better range and now it seems he is stuck somewhere in the minor leagues.

Yes!! I really love the music on this set. The only negative is that all the discs in my set suffered from disc rot.

Thank you for the heads up. I just made an order that includes the Solal CD, with Plays Ellington and the Sidney Bechet/Martial Solal Quartet with Kenny Clarke on Vogue.

I am also spinning this set. It wasn't my first set (Mingus Candid), but I remember buying it and telling EVERYONE I ran into that they had to buy it.

My first exposure to Jackie McLean was while working at a record store. I heard "4, 5, and 6" and "New Soil," but I was completely hooked after buying the Mosaic set. I love how in the 1960's, Jackie McLean moved between a bop sound with elements of the New Thing added. Man, what a sound he had! I never had the chance to see him perform. My buddy flew out to N.Y. and asked Jackie about it at a gig. He said for some reason nobody wanted to book him in the area. Has anyone seen the documentary of him teaching in the 1970's?

I think this is a great idea. Can someone tell me how to do it? First, find an image of the Jackie cover you want to display. If it is online(AMG is the best source), right click on the image and choose properties. Copy the URL of the image by highlighting it and holding down 'control' + 'c'. Click "My Controls" at the top of the page. Click "edit Avatar Settings" on the left. Go to the box for "Enter a URL to an online avatar image" Hit 'control' + 'v' to paste the URL of your Jackie cover. Click update Avatar. If you have the image you want to use on your hard drive, you can upload it, but that gets complicated as there are size restrictions on uploads. Thank you!
