Definitely 2 feet--at least--up here in northwest Philly. And still no sign of stopping.

Hey, Bob--if you'd like, we could plan a Philly organissimo "Welcome Sidewinder" get-together while you're here, perhaps at a jazz venue. I'm sure Messrs. Johnson and Deeley would be interested. We've done it before for the likes of Allen Lowe and organissimo (Jim, Joe, and Randy in the flesh), and compared to those characters, meeting you would be a real pleasure and a treat. If you're interested, you can send me a PM with the details of when you'd be available, where you'll be staying, contact info., etc., and I can set something up.

Some are yellow...others purple....like the Pepper & Miles ones that he and Sjarrell are iso. Riverside=red Prestige=purple Contemporary=yellow Green = Fantasy Actually, Fantasy=blue (at least in my collection, e.g., Brubeck--Jazz at Oberlin, Guaraldi--Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus) Jazzland=orange Pablo=lighter (than Contemporary) yellow Now that we've cracked the color code, are you sure you really wanna get rid of 'em?

And the Johnny Richards (for me).

If I wanted any of these, I'd order first and ask questions later.

I still have it, but it'll cost you.

Sounds like you have the Rhino/Warner UK edition: http://www.amazon.co...64719090&sr=1-1

Obviously, another bail-out.

Art Pepper, "The Complete Village Vanguard Sessions" (Contemporary) with George Cables, George Mraz, and Elvin Jones

With few exceptions, that's generally what occurs.

He also didn't do too badly with the string quartet.

Then what's left to sniff?

Liebman & Beirach Select

Yes--send ME a Mosaic gift card.

Let what go--being a lawyer?

"I buried Bev."

The Farlow has now been moved from "Running Low" to "Last Chance." (That just happened, right? Or did I just not notice it before? :blush2: )

Thanks for the heads-up!

Thanks for crappin' on my thread, Dudes. Just for that, I've cancelled the Yo Yo Ma box sets I had ordered for each and every one of you.

A far-ranging survey of new box sets in a wide variety of genres: http://www.philly.com/inquirer/magazine/20...boxed_sets.html He REALLY likes the Crosby Mosaic:

Here's a book that identifies what the author considers to be the 350 essential classical works (and also contains recommendations of specific recordings, but those are somewhat narrow and a bit dated): http://www.amazon.com/NPR-Guide-Building-C...4114&sr=1-1

Not when you add them to your shopping cart. Try it and see what it says.

And if you stick your thumb IN your ear, then you don't even have to listen to the CD.
