  1. Amazing, Mike, that was EXACTLY what I was about to post! I know his mother (Miles's sister) was in charge ten years ago, but she must be too sick or even dead by now. I was told that at one of the Miles conferences in St. Louis, she looked up and down at a woman's Miles T-shirt and asked her if it was 'authorized'. Looks like the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree. Bertrand.
  2. Bon anniversaire, Guy! Bertrand.
  3. Why don't you just wait for Verve to put them out Bertrand.
  4. Miles was supposedly one of only 7 people or so who heard Shirley Horn's Ashes And Embers when it first came out, so anything is possible. I also have a theory (exposed elsewhere on this forum) that Miles heard Mother Ship before he recorded Bitches' Brew. I need to follow up on that. Bertrand.

    Hasn't MC been trying to put together a box set of Miles quintet stuff? The hoops are indeed outrageous; look what happened to the Cellar Door. Bertrand.

    There's a lot of interesting stuff in the Library of Congress vaults - why don't the record companies go after that now that the Monk/Trane is selling like hotcakes? Bertrand.
  7. I need to get that Harold Land - I gave up on Verve. How does one order from Tanno? With customs etc., how much will these set me back? Thanks, Bertrand.
  8. So, is it copy-protected If not, you can all make copies for us, because it sounds like no one in the U.S. will ever get it Bertrand.
  9. Yes indeed, a very happy birthday to Daniel! Bertrand.
  10. Better yet, Miles could have helped Quincy Troupe write his autobiography. He would have just lifted quotes from previous Troupe biographies and attributed them to Troupe himself. Bertrand.
  11. Interestingly, though, I don't hear 'Impressions' at all in Larry Youngs' version of 'Pavanne'. What am I missing? Bertrand.
  12. Wasn't it determined that Stevie Wonder stole "I Just Called..." from some unknown aspiring songwriter? I know there are always claims like that, but I think this one actually was verified. Bertrand.
  13. All the discographies I've seen show Wayne (2 tunes), Cedar (2 tunes) and Curtis (1 tune) as the arrangers. No one mentions an arranger for the closing tune. Did Freddie arrange that one? Bertrand.
  14. I missed the first part of this, but caught then ending. It indeed sucked, plus I always hated that song. A couple of questions: 1. Who is that drummer? He sounds unworthy to play with Herbie. 2. Does Aguliera always masturbate the microphone like that? I was expecting it to squirt any minute. Bertrand.
  15. I saw one episode of this, but do not remember Rollins at all. Here's a marketing idea: put out a DVD for TV shows that were cancelled after just a few episodes, and include episodes that were made but never aired. I bet it would sell like hotcakes with the right ad campaign. Make 'em limited edition. Call 'em 'TV Connoisseurs' or something like that. Bertrand.
  16. Art's Break? Keystone 3? Tough?
  17. Welcome to the forum, shadowhillway! I have a sneaky feeling I know who you are. Bertrand.
  18. Oh, that TV thing looks like an option too. In fact, I prefer if he hogs the boob tube than the PC - the PC is much more useful to me! Bertrand.
  19. Forgot to specify - I meant to use on our PC, so I'm looking for a CD-ROM. Is that something I can just get at Target? Bertrand.
  20. While uploading from iTunes to my iPod, I got a message saying the file 'iPod-control\device\sysinfo was corrupt and could not be read. However, the upload seems to have run fine after I clicked on the 'X' to close the error message box. What is this file? Is it something major? I haven't run a disk scan yet, but if I did lose it, do I need to upload iTunes again, or is there a way around that?. I'd rather not upload iTunes again, as someone posted elsewhere that the new version has some major problems. Thanks in advance, Bertrand.
  21. My son used to play a Pac Man CD-Rom at his old school. I wanted to get him one for Christmas, but I have no clue where to look. I never buy these things. Does Amazon carry them, or other sites? Are there different ones out there, or is there one basic classic Pac Man? Thanks in advance, Bertrand.
  22. If you want to have all three of his Blue Note CDs, I suggest you hold off a bit... On the other hand, you know what they say about the bird in the hand... Bertrand.
  23. Maybe Mighty Quinn and Water could start putting out sessions not worthy of release on Blue Note, like the last Shorter and the last McLean sessions. Just a thought Bertrand.
  24. Up for the red trumpet guy who posted here a while ago! Bertrand.
  25. Man, I wish I could be there Bertrand.
