James Lincoln Collier touches on this in his Louis Armstrong: An American Genius, too. Larry's takedown of that text is very fine indeed, but Dan Morgenstern's is superb and hilarious as well. What a clown. link: http://books.google.com/books?id=GVWrw0dtuAMC&pg=PT145&lpg=PT145&dq=dan+morgenstern+james+lincoln+collier&source=bl&ots=ECoGbXko90&sig=zViMrcxslBz0CvyR8r4u2fE2FSQ&hl=en&ei=-45bTpXxGaXJsQLI9bW-DA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBkQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false

Up.

Strange, I was thinking about making this very same thread ... I got to thinking about this the other day when I put on Walter Bishop Jr.'s Prestige trio date from 1965. I have heard him play with Miles, Jackie McLean and others, but for some reason I got the notion that he was a player in the line of Nichols, Waldron, Weston et al ... those Monk-ish hard-bop era players who brought an individual edge to the playing that kept it interesting. I found this was not the case. Which was not Walter Bishop's fault mind you, but it made me realize that I need there to be more than just melody and changes for me to appreciate piano trio music (at least in the p/b/d formation). I get this from players like Mal, Herbie Nichols, Don Pullen, Ahmad Jamal, Paul Bley, Marilynn Crispell. And I love Bill Evans, too. Beyond this, the music just feels like easy listening to me. Which I know it isn't, always. But I can't get that notion out of my head.

Disc V

Disc 2, Song Everlasting. This is one of the most consistently rewarding Selects.

Disc IV

Vienna Art Orchestra - From No Time to Ragtime (Hat Hut, 1983) The whole album is a marvel, but the admission is most surely paid by the Braxton piece.

Paul Chambers Mosaic for $16.27 USD from a UK seller. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Paul-Chambers-Mosaic-Select-CD-2004-/300591949113?pt=UK_CDsDVDs_CDs_CDs_GL&hash=item45fcad2539#ht_500wt_1156 They also moved a Randy Weston for-- get this-- $2.07.

Any idea what Vol. 5 will look like? Onto the likes of Sun Ship, Transition, Interstellar Space and First Meditations?

Onto John Carter - Dance of the Love Ghosts (Grammavision, 1986)

Warne Marsh - Warne Out (Interplay, 1979) Only image I could find of the LP cover.

You think that's stupid ... http://www.elementsofjazz.com/home/2011/8/2/miles-davis-fan-project-we-need-your-help.html

Let's not forget Eddie Costa, who I think is a rare player that was utterly distinctive on both vibes and piano.

Cherry is sold.

Up with some price drops.

Big distinction between the asking price and what really sells. No one will ever buy that Amazon copy. The most expensive Ebay auction I've seen was $182 and the cheapest was $62. I am looking to complete my Select collection and this one is the White Whale.

He just headlined the Iowa City jazz fest. Wish I still lived there to've seen it.

Come to New Orleans sometime!

If I could keep only 10 jazz records, this would be one.

One last bump, looking to sell the Rivers.

Eldridge is on hold.

Bump w/ new addition.

T-Bone is sold. I'll consider offers on the other sets.
