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....

thanks Val.. that's very helpful.. Sounds like I made a good decision!

Does anybody have any info on this record? Other than the cover, the song titles and the wikipedia entry I can't find ANY online info on it. Newbury Comics had it at a decent price and Toshiko's stuff is so hard to get that I bought a copy... I'm assuming that's her daughter on the piano....

Dropped the price $20 for those interested... thanks!

Okay I may be the only one who is tired of this Hip-o stuff... but I still think it's way overpriced and not well package... Ditch the stupid book and give me another CD of music....

Interested but I'm boycotting this Hip-O crap until they change their packaging.. (God awful) and WAY lower their prices...:angry::angry:

I bought this years ago and got another one as a gift. New to selling... but will ship to US addresses only and I'm using paypal. Asking price including shipping $110.00 Please PM for serious inquiries ONLY! Thanks.

Oscar Peterson Disc V... I forgot how good this is....:excited:

Maybe those of you with pull over at Mosaic can get them to do an official Select release of this and clean it up into one set... :rolleyes:

This is definitely next on my list...

So much for the forecast... Friggin Downpours!! Drove all the way down there and I only made it through 45 minutes before bagging it and turning around... :tdown:tdown

Yea. Mingus Big Band is on at 11:30am... Looking at the forecast 60% chance of rain from about 11-4p.... I'm hoping this really does not happen!
