  1. I have seen her live and she's quite good...
  2. You probably need to go into Add-Remove Programs... That is typically how you should get rid of it.

    Okay I got through the first 2 cds... The sound is FANTASTIC... esp. reading about some of the issues from the original recordings... Disc 1 is a little better than Disc 2... but this is great, great stuff...

    It doesn't bother me.. Given what she went through with Art (based on Straight Life) she's got my blessing... You're not alone on this, I hated it from the very beginning. I think this topic has come up before and if I recall correctly, Laurie said something to the effect that Art would have appreciated the dark "humor" of the title. To me, it seems to reduce Art to some kind of cash commodity rather than act as a vehicle to bring his wonderful performances to light. It casts a bad shadow on her motivation for doing whatever she does with Art's work released under the label. It's got a bit of a greedy ring to it and lends itself to interpreting her role as the "poor widow" for whom we should feel sorry. Had I been in her circle of influence, I would have strongly advised against using that horrible name for her label.

    I have all of them and enjoy each one... The only one which is a little off is Vol. 4 (which I think Laurie has said she tried to do too much with)... My faves (outside of the new one which I haven't listened to yet) are Vols. 3 and 5.... This series prompted me to read Straight Life... It's a depressing and compelling read which definitely gave me a greater understanding of Art (and even more appreciation of Laurie...). I'd recommended them all personally. Alan, I like them all, but my favorite by far is Vol. 2 of the Unreleased Art series, The Last Concert. Roger Kellaway on piano makes it special, I think. I pretty much like all of them too. I've just been listening to Live In Stuttgart. The only one I didn't buy had some material that I have in another format.

    Just got mine too... but it's definitely not too much... I've got some papers to review so I'll be checking it out this weekend.
  7. Off the top of my head... I don't think he recorded with The Three Sounds...
  8. A couple of interesting box sets..... http://fr.popmarket.com/stan-getz-the-classic-columbia-albums-collection/details/25809734 http://fr.popmarket.com/return-to-forever-the-complete-columbia-albums-collection/details/25809728 I'm interested in both.. since A) I've only got Captain Marvel in the Getz box... and B) I'm going to see the new incarnation of RTF next month... Got a couple of questions for you though... A) the RTF box says the live set is 3 CDs... I picked up a 2CD live set a month ago. This one.... http://www.allmusic.com/album/r164142. Anyone got any idea if the track listing is the same? Did they just spread the same stuff over three CDs? Or are there previously unreleased tracks? B) On the Getz set.. Is the rest of the set similar to Captain Marvel? Thanks... Any one getting these sets?? Prices are not great but.....
  9. this is fantastic... I don't have any Chick Webb.. and am looking forward to this... I'm not a huge Ella fan but I definitely prefer her earlier work... Thanks for the update... Anybody got any pull over there and can get my Betty Carter Select on the drawing board?...
  10. If you're including vocalists... Ann Hampton Callaway... Sheryl Bailey (guitarist)....
  11. Don't know who your ISP is but many of them provide free AV software. For example I've got comcast and we get Norton Security Suite for free... I'd look to your ISP.
  12. My experience with these types of things is to do two things... 1) Run the virus scan from multiple sites (e.g., Symantec and McAfee for example)... Assuming you are running Windows 2) Reboot into Safe mode (hit F8 several times as soon as the computer restarts) with the network enabled... then repeat step 1... From my experience that usually does it... Good luck and let me know what happens.
  13. Yeah you're right. They did not ship them in order. Got mine over a week ago and it was #349. Cuscuna's got some interesting producer's notes on the last page of the booklet.
  14. Looks fantastic...Thanks for the info.
  15. What I want is the super cheat boxed set of either The Matrix, Star Wars or Lord of the Rings..!!
  16. I'm tentatively planning on going assuming I can track down my babysitter.
  17. No I couldn't.. had to use my PC.. Someone should email their webmaster and ask them to provide the files as mp3s not *.asx. or *.wmv files...
  18. Listening to the Sam Rivers.. This sounds fantastic! Wasn't there some talk about a Sam Rivers box? How does this differ from the Wildflowers box?
  19. I spend a lot of time at ChickCorea's website. chickcorea.com
  20. Wow.. Didn't know about that one... Really looking forward to it!
  21. Yea... I might be skipping this one...
  22. http://www.storyvillerecords.com/default.aspx?tabID=2633&productId=27288&state_2838=2 I don't know anything about them??? For the experts on this site.. please fill me in. Thanks.
