hey Jeff, great stuff - but how come I don't see any pais? gotta do the philactery waltz -

where's he playing?

just re- that Count Basie/Columbia box - when I was re-mastering the small-group version of Going To Chicago for my blues thing, I was somewhat shocked to hear that the version on the old Superchief LP sounded significantly better than the one on the CD box - they did just a little too much noise reduction on it, sad to say.

I actually think that there were two Cafe Society restaurants in NY, one uptown and one downtown. Barney Josephson re-opened it downtown in the 1970s, and I met Mary Lou Williams there.

Cole is one of my favorites and really a link between swing and bebop, in my opinion. Peterson got a lot from him but lacked that all important thing called taste. Listen to Nat on Body and Soul if you want to hear an artist - Peterson had a lot on the ball harmonically, but just sounded like a jackhammer to me. Patterns, patterns, and more patterns. There's a famous Miles Davis interview (printed in Jazz Panorama) that, for me, nails it, re-Peterson's problems. just my opinion.

as the blues project will be filling up my winter (I hope) I need to thin out some of my Devilin Tune stock- for the next 2 weeks I will sell you any volume (there are 4 in all) for $42 shipped domestically (for Euro shipping send me a query) - prefer paypal, my paypal is alowe5@maine.rr.com I don't have a lot I can sell at this price, and this is really the last time I can move it like this as supplies are somewhat low -

hey - I'm not a religious guy but I know the surgery will be fine and I will see if I can do a little prayer just for insurance -

just wondering (since I can't stand going over there) - do the Hoffman robots like the current boxes and stereo re-issues?

only in musical quality -

someone needs to fill the gap in the rythm section -

Marc's site is great, and the interviews are priceless - nice guy, too -

I'm buying a new digital mulit-track so this has got to go, don't know if anybody here will be interested, before I go to ebay. great little unit, basically it allows recording to either direct-to-digital or to a laptop through the USB; has very good 24/96 converters built in, the pre-amps (there are 4) are surprising good, also. A great and reliable and small unit. has lots of inputs, spdif digital in and out. this thing is almost new (it cost $399 new) - I'll sell it for $225 plus shipping conus. Perfect for the home recordist. would prefer paypal (my paypal is alowe5@maine.rr.com)

or is it really early morning?

In reality, and maybe because of the ridiculous amount of music I have listened to in the last ten years in order to do 2 very large reissue projects, I am sick of almost everything that is jazz-related. It's weird, I can rarely listen to a jazz performance for more than 30 seconds without wanting to go ahead to another. I feel as if I have heard every phrase and note that any improviser will ever play. on the other hand, I just started playing again, so my challenge is to produce music that does not bore me (just everyone else) - I wanted it short, loud, pithy, deep, dark, and rough. (no call girl jokes, please)

and a model for the community.

Ron, you're a very discerning fellow -

you don't say -

actually, I think it's "I'm Writing a Letter to Daddy" ("his address is heaven above")

actually, I'm always looking for "morning after" records -

well, I got the stereo versions, and supplies were low, so they just sent me the left channel -

I miss Jabbo - what a singer -

just not enough meat in Mose's voice - early and late - a little bit of a pose -
