What do you guys think of the new Real Books Hal Leanord has out there. I think they're lacking some great jazz standards. Never-the-less, its cool they're making it legal and all. But are they up to standards? Or old standards?

Now I have tried to pass of as 35, but I am just a sophomore in High School.

McCoy Tyner, The Real McCoy has some great playing on the keys.

nah, its not. My B&S stock of jazz cd's is pitiful!!1 The classical section is bigger than the jazz section! So the case being, "we don't want to stock anything other than popular music," doesn't apply here, which makes me say, why. Borders, will always be my num. 1 choice for cd's, even though they do not have IWTHYH in stock, or shelved.

I put the Red Garland album up there on my avatar. That's a damn good album! I love his stride chords! Especially If I Were A Bell.

What about the Blue Note albums.

What would you say are the best albums for piano players? Albums that like showcased the pianist the most?

I just finished spinning Oscar Peterson's We Get Requests. Unusual album, for sure. But enjoyable.

Wow, a thread completly devoted to, me. Isn't it exilerating...

Alright, 54 then. Keep trying.

Just meant it to be a comical, unmeaningful joke. -_- Well I got the jam part right!

How'd you come up with 55? I can assure you, I ain't 55 yet. I'll put a picture on my avatar.

Man, I gotta check Tunisia out in my fakebook, see what I can do with it.

jam=practice not food!

Wow, kool! I guess you now know my life. jam computer jam computer jam comuter jam computer jam computer jam computer GIG jam copmuter jam computer

What musicians are on Contrasts?

The way I see it, Buddy made three landmark recordings. Swingin' New Big Band The New One! and Big Swing Face The rest are all good, just not essential. Keep The Customer Satisfied and Mercy Mercy come in third and fourth.

You'd be surprised what I could find at my old vinyl shop, but I'll take your word for it.

Sonny Rollins, Way Out West.

On vinyl? I'd say yes. I do not think it is in print. Good luck finding it in a used shop. Try eBay if you want it quick. Well with vinyl shops, its all upon luck. Whatever album might be 'rare' or 'not rare' doesn't really come into play. You gotta rely on these old kats bringing in their old lp's which they do not play anymore, so maybe this album might show up.

In the words of Jimmy Smith, "Use the God Damn pedals!"

Mundell Lowe, Tribute to Nick Ceroli lp. (1985)
