I think we need a Conference of the Birds II. Sam's not gonna be with us much longer.

That's what I was thinking - Holst was right!

I used to like him a lot too and I've tried really hard to enjoy his more recent work, but it seems so soft to me anymore. Maybe it was the heart attack that changed his music outlook?

...and how talented you are.

Rod Roddy was lookin quite the Liberace sort in those days.

No, it was the Kitajenko...the Slovak is here too if you're interested. BTW, that link with the recording - taken from an SACD - was an mp3 at only 80kbps. Rod

Well, I'll tell you...we're dealing with another thing here alltogether. Let's just say that as part of the Brazilian contingent, they offer a fine buffet, but there's much more to consume at the Michiru Diner.

about 2 minutes from the last mvt. of the 4th: shosta4 Would this be it?

The 4th ends in a Largo and the 8th in an Allegretto. I'm guessing it's the 4th. I love the Kitajenko version, but for quality for the dollar, the Naxos that Chuck mentioned is excellent. The box set of 11 discs with extra works is a bargain for about $50 with only a couple of less than stellar moments.

That's the lovely and talented Lilian Vieira.

She's reinvented herself in this past decade. The 80's and 90's stuff is pretty anemic sounding. Was just playing her (and remixes) earlier today. I like her, but you shouldn't expect her to have a very unique voice - yet. Rod --- Now playing: Jiva - I Realized (Twilight Bossa Mix)

Shoulda bought him a drink. That would've chilled him out.

Shouldn't this be in the Funny Rat thread?

I was just wondering what he would do...well, would've done...if you'd walked toward the window with your cat at the end of your outstretched hands.

Does he know that you have a cat?

Almost as bad as the guy ("ARCHDD") who's selling The Free Slave in VG+ condition for $264 (and has a fill rate of only 73%!)

We've never had cable. My sweetheart tapes sci-fi shows on the Panasonic HD to watch while she's on the treadmill. OK, so we have a 60" and a 27" screen, but I use them mostly for my video work. In Texas, it's good to be aware of the weather, but I'm starting to rely on online weather radar instead of the TV. Basically, it's reading and music for me.

Isn't it called Future Passed? Anyway, I got interested in him (and the ...Plays Monk release) because Robert Wyatt highly recommended it, so, I thought, why not check him out! Hard to get his stuff here in the US tho... edit: of course, I can get it from the website...thanks! Rod

OK, thanks! I'm guessin that it was the remix version 'cause I've got the first version. There seems to be two versions of OTC as well as Rated X. Ok, that may explain it! Thanks again!

I think that some folks are more Motown and others are more Stax (I'm definitely the later!). Also, a few years back, I heard something on our local jazz station that sounded like On The Corner outtakes or something! Instead of calling the station, I began a hunt for this item... then, I thought that they had gotten hold of some promo for an upcoming set that I didn't know about, and so the searching went on. I've heard OTC sooooooooo many times, that it was clearly some version of one of the cuts, but I could never come up with anything. Still don't know, but maybe there's a Laswell reworking out there somewhere? If this box is anything like I heard...well, hell, I'd buy anything on Miles anyway...

Sorry, I may have been thinking of this thread - which is a bit different than the site that you mentioned, but we seemed to have an opinion about the legality of such things. OK, sorry, carry on..

I think you're right about It's A Beautiful Day, but I'm not totally sure. I bought a pretty expensive Japanese version only to notice that it was a bit "unusual" looking once I got it home and under closer inspection. I believe there's an extensive thread on itsaboutmusic.com somewhere here.

Since it's been almost 2 years now, I wanted to revive this thread to see if anybody's "slippers" have changed since. It's a bit hard for me to choose, because there are so many recordings that have special meanings, but I'd say: jazz: Cannonball Adderley: 74 Miles Away rock: just about anything with Manuel Göttsching's guitar

...and if you're looking for a more introspective, intuitive sound to your trumpet, then there's Markus Stockhausen.
