Of course you do. You live in Manhattan. You expect to pay a lot to get a little.

Didn't think Chew-Chew's keyboard had all those funny punctuation keys. And there's WAY too many correctly and appropriately capitalized words for that to be him. Perhaps in his "chewy" or "aric" personae, but I'm thinking more of his "ContemporarySFLady" (or whatever it was) schtick. He has such a varied repertoire.

Anyone seen chewy lately? Isn't he due to be trying on a new alter ego right about now?

Full article.

In other words, "to whom do you listen?"

Maybe the $5.99 deal only applies to those who originally signed up at the $4.99 price?

Didn't happen for me. I guess they don't love me as much as they do you.

I entered that Coltrane thing too--didn't win, though (AFAIK). And I spent a shitload of money on that goddamn Summer Blowout Sale! Congrats to those who won!

Looks like we'll have to start calling you "Scoop" tranemonk. Just skimmed it briefly, but that Piano Boogie Woogie and Blues Select looks sweet! Also, Chu Berry is now scheduled for February.

I've had the Jazztet set for a while now--one of my favorites. I am, however, still on the fence about the Capitol set--at the moment leaning towards not getting it.

They're now my Amazon Marketplace top choice, also (and apparently for lots of others, too--approval rating of 98% or something like that). Terrific customer service, by the way (including an actual phone number you can call).

Hey, no bubble bursting allowed!!!! Just got back from Sarasota and found the box waiting. It's the real deal........sealed 8-cd set w/no dents, tire treadmarks, etc. Excellent! I'm glad I lost the bet. (What were we betting, anyway? )

I knew someone out there would get it (should've known it would be Rachel ).

Thanks. At least now I know what I missed out on! Actually, I got both those boxes cheap (one from a record club a long time ago, the other on St. Marks) and I have a pretty healthy OJC collection at this point, so it's probably not a great loss. I'm still sure I would have found a way to drop a few bucks on the sale, though... Many of us did. Hopefully, they'll do it again.

Certainly is ! I find myself digging into this set on a regular basis, so much great stuff in there. Apart from the obvious like 'Power To The People' and the Lighthouse stuff with Woody Shaw there's gems such as 'Black Narcissus', the Luis Gasca latin material ( ) and the guest slots with Flora Purim. Still one of my favourite boxes and I've had this one for well over 10 years. Now if only Concord or Zweitausendeins would blow this one out like they have some other Fantasy boxes.

It's the song, Doctor C--get it?

I picked this up in the Concord sale--haven't even had a chance to play a single disc yet. Oh well, maybe next year.

Happy Belated Birthday, Ron! From one 12/28'er to another.

Have you started a joke?

I haven't been posting much in birthday threads recently but, hey, you and I share the same birthday! (And it's a big one for me today--one of those decade deals--rhymes with "nifty" ) So, happy birthday to us! Hope you're having a great one! (And FWIW, today is also Woodrow Wilson's birthday, and a big one for him, too--150. )

Anyone check out the Amazon Marketplace prices on these lately? Sheesh! Not like the old days!

Dr. Tine (as in Clem N. Tine, D.Mus.), When someone told you to check out "Full House", you musta thought he meant the sitcom with Bob Saget and the Olsen twins. You should slip on the K2 of "Full House" (with your man Johnny Griffin) after you listen to "Know What I Mean" a few more times. And if it makes you feel better, slip in a little Yves Nat while you're at it.

Kirby, you should put on Schnabel playing the Waldstein and see how he reacts.

I'm envious.

Update: I came home on Thursday and it was on my porch! I ordered it on Tuesday at around 6:15 PST, and got it on Thursday! That's coming from calif. to NY- EXCELLENT!!!!! I'm hearing & reading bad things about Google checkout. I can't even get the Google checkout link to work. Keeps telling me the site is unavailable. You had a great experience. Anybody else??? Lots of orders over the past couple of months--all good.
