This just sucks.

Happy B-Day Ken... thanks for all you do!

I'm in the middle of Disc 2.. and it's great but I have two questions.. Isn't Ron Carter's bass very hard to hear??? And how could they not even FIND a damn place for the liner notes????

How can you put together such a great musical package and totally F*** up the design so there's no place to put the liner notes??? :angry::angry: You can shake it, you can break it, you can hang it on the wall.

the TV show is quite good...

Got mine today... Ready for the drive to work tomorrow...

Doesn't sound like any "hacks or has-beens" to me....:unsure:

I ordered mine from importcds and should receive it by the end of this week. I received Vol. 15 from Worlds Records six days ago. . . .

Excellent review... Makes me want to break out my Plugged Nickel Set.... I must say I am looking forward to this set...especially if Amazon keeps dropping the price. :w

Yea I saw that... :crazy:

Quick question for you guys... How similar/dissimilar is this from the Mosaic Columbia Swing Sessions???

Thank you ... that was very helpful. I managed to find a couple of the individual albums on Amazon. I liked what I heard so at that price I snagged it. Kinda hard to say no for 5-6 hours of music @ $35. A needle drop is a cd that uses vinyl for a source rather than the original master tapes. Usually happens when the tapes are lost or unavailable. Costs are lower and most production work is already done. The Felsted material is very good stuff. Straight ahead swingin' mainstream jazz. I have about 5 or 6 of the lps and I will get this to complete the set.

I love Chick. I don't really like fusion but I caught RTF when they were in Boston a few weeks ago. Chick is really the only cat I would go see play fusion stuff. I don't worry about the Scientology stuff. To me it falls in the bag of stuff like when Miles used to beat Cicely Tyson... If you read Straight Life you'll find out that Art Pepper did some messed up things!... Obviously from what I understand Scientology is not domestic violence or other bad behaviors... but it's not my thing. I know some people have problems with it. In general I've tried to separate out the musician from their personal beliefs/practices/etc/ Otherwise there would be a number of musicians I'd never listen to... I've seen Chick probably half a dozen times and he never mentions it onstage. I suspect he's aware of the public reaction. IMHO the best Chick I have is the Five Trios Japanese boxed set that was available on his website a few years ago... Absolutely fabulous!!! This one is also great.... http://www.chickcorea.com/cart/products/Super_Trio_Corea_Gadd_McBride_br_Chick_Corea_Steve_Gadd_and_Christian_McBride_br_2006-40-26.html

What the hell is a needle drop anyway...??? And without hijacking my own thread... to get back to the music... I gather this is good stuff???

I know it's from our friends in Spain... but this looks intriguing... What thinks you experts???? http://www.systemrecords.co.uk/various-artists-complete-felsted-mainstream-collection-p-1062925.html I might have to snap this one up....

I'm also beginning to question the point of this thread...

I think we know most of the list. Fred Hersch, Andy Bey, Gary Burton, Dena DeRose, Billy Strayhorn, and I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting at the moment.

In my car.. Bobby Hutcherson Select... :excited::excited:

$400???? :unsure::unsure: That's a lot of money.... and I do like Tony Bennett.

I'm thinking this is a just a reissue.. When Metheny signed to Nonesuch Records they claimed that they would reissue most of his catalog... They've done about half dozen reissues... Song X, Secret Story... etc.... That's why I think this is just another reissue....

Right there with you.. Not sure what prompted me to pick this out.. but I'm digging it... (despite Al Foster ...)

Listening to the Charles Tolliver Quartet Select ...

Happy Birthday... thanks for everything you are doing!

Gone on my end....

There's so much of Toshiko's stuff that's only available as japanese imports....
