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? )

Now, discs 3 and 4. Terrific set. Get it while you can!

It's about to go OOP, it's on sale, it's got fantastic singing, playing, and sound (Malcolm Addey), PLUS, you just (well, a few years ago) saved a bundle on your soon-to-be-OOP Farlow set (thanks to me ). So what are you waiting for?

Lee/Christy--discs 1 and 2

The man needs longer pants! That's just the effect of Peggy's singing.

Speaking of guitar, the Herb Ellis and Kenny Burrell sessions in the Columbia Small Group box are real gems, especially the Ellis. It's been a while since I listened to that box, but I remember enjoying the Ellis sessions quite a bit.

So honesty does pay.

Not about to review 41 pages in this thread to see if it's already been posted, but I just put this one in the listening queue: and here's the back side:

GA's rig:

Shawn, for what it's worth--and I'm not sure it's much --Steven Osborne's complete Debussy Preludes (Hyperion) and Mitsuko Uchida's complete Debussy Etudes (Philips) are very highly regarded in some quarters (e.g., The Penguin Guide), and are currently available from BMG/yourmusic. I don't know if you're a member of either or both, but if you are, you might want to check 'em out.

Nevertheless, "Undercurrent" seems to have pioneered its use as an album cover.

Of course, any similarity between that cover and this one is purely coincidental:

Uhhhhhhhhhh . . . . . . . . . . yeah. But only on video. And also in person.

I saw this thread and almost went for it, then checked and realized I already bought it. You must play it a lot.
