I saw that. Different street date. Different price. Different CD? I don't know.

It's like this and it works wonders on porcelain sinks too!!

I wouldn't work for someone who asked if I took an LSAT prep course. I took the LSAT 13 years ago...wow, has it been that long? I didn't take a prep course for the LSAT although I did buy a book that provided some sample questions (mostly logic puzzles) that was helpful. I would strongly recommend a prep course before the bar exam. There's no way you can possibly cover everything that might show up on the bar exam in three years of law school. Best of luck to you trane_fanatic!

If someone can find the code to properly link to Amazon.com so that Organissimo gets credit I will add Amazon links to the August 2007 RVG pre-order thread (and future threads as well).

Concord Radio is on the web. I wonder if it will last.

At least Concord has updated their webiste. Much easier to navigate. They've adopted a pseudo-news site approach to their layout.

= Both are good in small amounts. But too much can make you sick.

Working my way through the Onzy Matthews Select that just arrived today. Pretty good stuff. If you like the Gerald Wilson you'll probably like this.

I could never be accused of being an optimist - but maybe the recent birth of my first child or maybe just being tired of the gloom and doom predictions here has made me wonder.... If the EMI/BlueNote re-issue program (RVGs, Connoisseurs) does come to a halt what is the likelihood of our friends at Mosaic picking up the pieces? I know it's probably a long-shot but I need some good news here!

I have to say I am somewhat curious... On August 7, Legacy Records will release Bruce Hornsby's debut jazz recording, “Camp Meeting,” a potent and spirited collection of instrumental performances steeped in improvisation with the pianist in the company of two of jazz's most esteemed musicians, bassist Christian McBride and drummer Jack DeJohnette. In addition to originals composed by Hornsby, the trio delivers newly reharmonized versions of tunes by John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk and Bud Powell. Plus, Hornsby and co. debut a previously unrecorded Ornette Coleman work titled “Questions and Answers” and render an early Keith Jarrett composition from the '70s, “Death and theFlower.” “I've spent my entire life combating closed-mindedness in music as well as the lack of an adventurous spirit,” says Hornsby, a musical omnivore who cites a variety of influences from Samuel Barber and Charles Ives to jazz pianists Keith Jarrett and Bud Powell. “Just like all my music, this jazz album is coming from a natural place in me.” Hornsby calls his distinctive style a meld of jazz pianist “Bill Evans-meets-the hymnbook. I've always loved Bill's harmonic conception that comes out of Ravel and the French Impressionists, and I've been influenced by folk hymnal harmonies and voice movement. A lot of my friends associate jazz with cocktail music, but I've always sought to have my own sound and bring my own harmonic aesthetic to the music.” Fans familiar with Hornsby's career know that it was only a matter of time before he would record a fully jazz album. He attended school at both Berklee College of Music in Boston and at the University of Miami, where he earned a bachelors degree in music. From his earliest pop-song hits like “The Way It Is” and “The Valley Road,” he demonstrated a penchant for extended jazz-like piano solos. And throughout his storied career, Hornsby has engaged in rich collaborations with such jazz stars as guitarist Pat Metheny and saxophonists Branford Marsalis and Ornette Coleman, as well as filled the piano chair in rock's greatest improv group, the Grateful Dead, in the early '90s. After many years of contemplating a jazz album, the seed for “Camp Meeting” was planted five years ago when Pat Metheny invited Hornsby to join him on the Miles Davis composition “Solar” at a gig where the guitarist was performing with the University of Virginia jazz orchestra band. “I played a piano intro and afterward Pat said that I should make a jazz record,” says Hornsby. “He felt I had developed my own way of playing the jazz repertoire. I wasn’t ready to make the record at that time. Playing jazz is a lifetime study, and I knew that I had to do some serious shedding before I could undertake this project.” Fast-forward to the summer of 2005 when Hornsby caught one of his heroes, Keith Jarrett, performing with his longtime trio of bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette, at Carnegie Hall. “Backstage Jack asked me, 'When are we going to do something?' at which point I told him that I had no excuse but fear,” Hornsby says laughingly. “Jack told me that when I got over that to give him a call.” By November, after finding free time in all their busy schedules, both DeJohnette and McBride were on board, and in April 2006, the three settled into Hornsby's Virginia studio, rehearsed and then recorded “Camp Meeting.” Hornsby admits that it was a daunting experience playing with such top-drawer jazz artists: “It was stressful. In many ways I was out of my element playing with these titans of jazz, but in the end I believe they felt we had recorded something fresh and we all had fun. Jack and Christian both had a ball ‘blindfold testing’ people and asking them to guess who the pianist is.” Hornsby adds, “I've come up with a standard line about how 'Camp Meeting' came to be: Imagine that you took six years of French and became fluent in the language, then didn't speak it for 30 years. Then you're hired to be the French translator at the U.N. Imagine how hard and intimidating that would be. That's how it was with me playing jazz. And that's why I spent a lot of time in the woodshed, and still do. It’s a never-ending pursuit.” ## Tour dates: August 10: Calvin Theater, Northampton. Mass.

No Dad's day pool - but he was born on his maternal grandmother's birthday!

Thanks for all the well wishes. We just got home yesterday and survived our first night alone. Just trying to get the hang of all this new stuff.

I'm afraid it's payback time for my little sister. I have 2 little nieces and I bought them the noisy toys. Funny story: I bought them a Barney doll that sang the "sharing" song. They fought over it so much I had to buy another one.

Our first baby, James Logan was born on 6/15 at 2:04pm 9lbs. 4oz. 20.5 inches long Kind of Blue was playing in the delivery room. First photos

I noticed in the liners to Turrentine's A Bluish Bag that Cuscuna says, "The remaining two 1967 sessions with Pearson's chart will be the subject of a future release." That's good news. I've been enjoying the recent ST releases, Joyride, The Spoiler and this latest one.

Just wait for "The Best of the Best of. I hear it's due out in October.

One of my favorites is Sonny Clark - Leapin' and Lopin'

Happy birthday! Thanks for giving us all a digital home away from home.

Yes you do. I should have kept my mouth shut fingers interlaced. This happened sometime after my post.

Time keeps on slippin' slippin' slippin'........ Any news on the release dates other than "Late May"? Not unusual, but this one went from early May to mid-to-late May to late May do I hear early June?
