I believe the Art Farmer Mosaic Single "The Time and the Place" was recorded at MoMA, which still puts on jazz concerts to this day during the summer months. I saw Brandon Ross with Roy Haynes' son Graham on trumpet a couple of years ago. The Philadelphia Museum of Art still puts on jazz concerts YEAR-ROUND. I saw Eric Alexander with Harold Mabern there, and the Maria Schneider Orchestra, and some group called . . . ummmm, let's see . . . what was the name again . . . oh yeah, ORGANISSIMO! The MoMA concerts are outdoors. You're in the Northeast so you know what weather's like in NY in the Winter. The Art After 5 (as they're called) shows at the Philly Art Museum are every Friday evening in the museum's Great Stair Hall, so weather generally isn't an issue. If you're ever in Philly and get a chance to attend, it's well worth it: http://www.philamuseum.org/artafter5/

And, of course:

Currently 48 degrees in Philly.

You are correct, Sir! As verified almost 3 years ago in this brilliant post : http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...st&p=521919

not on his kids show, of course, but on an evening show he had called "soupy's on," which also featured performances by miles, dizzy, and duke. here's brownie's performance: brownie on soupy From Soupy's Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soupy_Sales

Actually, the big boxes are. There was a discussion here about this several years ago, and Brad shared an email response he had received from Mosaic which stated that the big boxes are numbered sequentially by computer as they are shipped, as reflected by the printed serial number in the invoice and the hand-written number in the booklet. Which just confirms that the Young set is, indeed, selling very well.

Actually, that's the real reason they're shutting it down--so they won't have to reinstate you.

Maybe she thought you meant vinyl siding?

Allen, to what did you upgrade?

Fred, your English needs no excuses.

I can see having a hard time getting past LON Armstrong's smiling, grinning persona, but not LOUIS'.

You have more than one!? You KNOW you've gotten burns of all 9 of them from me, but I guess if you must play dumb . . . .

If I have you transfer all of my "Up With People" albums, will I get a quantity discount?

Yes, I realize that BF- I was being facetious. (like Bruce Lundvall would actually call....yeah, right!) Tell you what--if you come to Philly, I'll take you to lunch, and you won't have to listen to even one story about Rudy Van Gelder. Don't believe him! I've been to Philly twice now, and no dice. Kinda helps if you let me know you're HERE.

From his Wikipedia entry: More here.

As Hendrix used to sing: 'scuse me, while I kiss this guy. A whole web site devoted to this kinda stuff.

So, are you ever going to give me a head's-up when you're going to be here, or should I not hold my breath?

Forget about conn's Select needs--I'm just diggin' on Agg's new self-portrait avatar. Truly an example of the eyes being a window into the soul.

And they're still real cheap: Currently $6.40 plus $2.98 shipping.

That's one I regret having let go by when it was going OOP. Who said I am? Still listening to Lee/Christy , and thinkin' you should be, too. Bixieland was the one listening to Venuti/Lang. (Need some help with the English translation? )
