This certainly doesn't look good... By the way, what do you mean by "carpe diem those titles..."? The Latin phrase "carpe diem" literally means "seize the day".

Couldn't agree more, and I'm out of here.

Bill's report above makes me feel old and sad...

Or about $32.40 at today's exchange rate

Make that two years and almost six months (April 2007 - October 2009) Ah! In some threads I look like a numbers nerd, but this shows I'm a duh. I'm deffinately a duh! Well, it's definitely almost 2½ years

So we finally have a good Monk bio; about time

Well I never listen with headphones if I can help it. I think these Kramer releases sound so much better than any earlier cd release it's not funny. They sound like the music I remember, while the MCA ones sound like something different. I agree with Kevin; those Experience Hendrix remasters of the early albums sounded awful on my system (no headphones), maximized and very fatiguing. I sold them as fast as I could.

I second that suggestion.

The Russian pronounciation is Shos-ta-KO-vich.

I think you're right, he's looking for "West Coast Cool", not hard bop.

The Constitution of the United States and its amendments don't apply here, it's Jim who sets the rules.

Und ein ziemlich heikles Thema

There was also the wonderful West Coast Classics series that he did through Blue Note in the late 1990s. I think it ended after only a dozen titles (didn't do very well sales-wise, as I recall), but it was a fantastic set of reissues. Yep, that was an excellent series. Maybe you can do a show about it

It was also released in Japan in 1992 (TOCJ-5738).

Yep, a great documentary. Hannah Rothchild did an excellent job.

She was born on November 14, 1918, so if she's still alive she's almost 91.

The mastering itself, i.e. how it was done, is more important than what was used, 16-bit, 20-bit, 24-bit, DSD or whatever.

Really? I don't see any upcoming Soul Station release on CD Pacific's site - that's the site I linked to.

A prime contender for "inane post of the year".

He decided (again) to leave the board several months ago. He still occasionally posts, but that's all. There was quite a lot of fuss about it, apparently you missed it all.

I thought about that, but it would probably hardly be noticed there, and Cindy deserves her own thread in my opnion

Many people here know Cindy as one of the very helpful people at Mosaic. She just told me she is leaving Mosaic for a new job. I want to thank her for all her help, excellent service and patience and I wish her all the best for the future.
