Yeah, it's not very often you get a decent jazz group out of Texas.

Still, the worst box Sony has ever done has got to be the Charlie Christian box with the foam rubber crud all over the CD's from the very first time you take them out of the box. Fortunately, Sony is the only major label (as far as I know) that provides a toll-free customer service number in every CD, and a quick phone call got me 4 brand-new replacement CD's. But still, how could they possibly let that design out the door, and apparently still continue to do so with all the complaints there have been.

Just for that . . . YOU'RE FIRED.

And some jaw harp:

. . . it can become scatological?

But what about the Proper Box of Quartet Out?

More pathetic grovelling.

Finally got through the entire O'Day set ( terrific), and now onto the other endangered set I recently got, J.J. Johnson, discs 1-4:

You're pathetic.

They're already taking preorders for those??? DAMN! I wonder if they'd take my preorder for that Quartet Out set they haven't even thought of yet?

I hope I'm not one who gets to see that.

Ubu, please PM me with a list of insults I sent you recently. That may exceed the storage capacity allocated to each Board Member.

I have to confess that I have never consciously heard Picasso's music. ← I suppose a could be really arty-farty and respond "You don't hear the music in Picasso?" (imagine the suitably patronising tone) ← Actually, now that you mention it:

Is he/she related to TAL Farlow?

I'm with you here! Would welcome the earlier setting being restored as well! ← Or perhaps allow each member to set the default to his/her preference ("To save or not to save, that is the question.").

I have to confess that I have never consciously heard Picasso's music.

What I see are several Board members with homicidal tendencies.

Very little--you can count the tracks on which she scats ("Slaughter On 10th Ave." comes to mind) on one hand.

They you go again: over-intellectualizing.

You mean, like, your uvula? Can you sing with vibrato?

Does he count?

As long as they NEED people.

Anita, discs 8 and 9: (Who needs a damn uvula, anyway!)

I said Mike, 'cause it seems to me Cuscuna IS Mosaic.
