I'm a bit confused. Which two tracks are not on the TOCJ that should be, and do either of them have KD on them? What are the 6 tracks that are on the TOCJ, and which have KD on them? Thanks, Bertrand.

What's the exact date on the Blakey? Thanks.

A google search shows that he is indeed an attorney, specializing in copyright law. Bertrand.

He must be a practicing attorney by now. Bertrand.

Last night: the William Parker organ quartet (+1) at Bohemian Caverns. Apparently this is this band's first live gig. Wednesday: Grachan Moncur III and the Brad Linde ensemble at the Atlas Theatre, performing the Exploration record. Bertrand.

Don't forget that Bill Clinton's 3 favorite saxophonists are: Rollins, Kenny G. and Peter Brotzmann. Something for everyone! Bertrand.

I have never bought from him, but this is very sad news. Clearly many on the board feel the same as Hans about the way he ran his store. I am sorry to see that another independent jazz seller is forced to close. Bertrand.

Sandusky just gave an insane interview in the NYT. That guy is one sick motherfucker. Bertrand.

The CD version had two extra 'fly!'s. Bertrand.

E-mail received, thanks. Bertrand.

I never heard back from them and forgot all about this. They played a little bit for me over the phone and one of the tracks sounded like 'Turn Over Baby'. Were you able to get a copy? Bertrand.

I came across this whilst looking for MP3s to get with the freebie that sonnymax kindly hipped us too. So Joe Chambers and Tyrone Washington are on some of the tracks, but which? Did they record any other albums with Stadler? Thanks, Bertrand.

I have a copy on hold at Dusty Groove (the bastards!) but this is a Japanese pressing so probably does not have the bonus tracks. How many extra tracks were on the US reissue and Mosaic box? Realistically, what are my chances of finding a reasonably priced US version? They have a promo for $30 but I don't want to spend that much. I'm leaning towards a 'bird in the hand' approach to this - grab it when you see it. Opinions? Thanks, Bertrand.

Thanks for the tip! Bertrand.

OK. Maybe it is a coincidence that Ron is plucking harder at those same passages. I would not have called it a 'click' - I can definitely hear the notes ringing out as he plucks. Also, mine was not rejected by the computer. Bertrand.

At the passages that you mention, I hear the bass being plucked very insistently. Could that be what you are hearing? Bertrand.

That trumpet player is not ready for prime time. Bertrand.

As long as they don't store the tapes on the Universal lot... Bertrand.

Now that I unlocked my DVD player I was going to look into buying some of the rare vault material from ina.fr. I tried searching their boutique for the Jackie McLean at the Chat Qui Peche but was unsuccessful. I know this was available when the site first came out, but you could only buy it, not stream it. Any ideas? Thanks, Bertrand.

The internet (and my fellow organissimo members) is my friend. The unlocking instructions worked perfectly. Whiskeycat, my machine is hardly fancy (I paid $50 or so for it)! I do recommend you google to see if there are hack codes for your machine as well before you return the DVD. I don't know how to check for PAL-compatibility. I guess the players listen on the region free DVD site are PAL compatible and, as pointed out, were probably unlocked. That's why I saw my player listed on that site. I'm pretty sure the box for my player did not mention region-free. The guy at Best Buy probably was not aware about the locking issue and the reason he saw the European DVDs working was that another co-worker had unlocked the machine. Two questions remain in my mind. 1) A co-worker of mine bought a Pioneer player at Costco that plays region free, but it was specifically mentioned on the box. The model is DV-490V. So is Costco selling this illegally? He is able to play Italian DVDs. 2) Why did the same company (Birdjam?) make this DVD region 2-6 but the Live In Berlin (as pointed out) is region 0? Don't know about the third DVD in the series (Live in Offenbach) since I had the U.S. version that was part of the WR box. I'm thinking of getting in touch with them; this will give me the excuse to see if any other titles are forthcoming. Now that I am unlocked, I am going to revisit the ina.fr site to see what I might be able to buy. This was what was making me hesitate. Bertrand.

I knew this would happen one day. I had made a point last year of looking for a multi-region DVD player in case I ever come across a DVD that is not set up to play in the U.S. I looked online, asked on this very forum and identified one that seemed to do the trick: the Philips DVP3560. I wound up getting it at Best Buy and they confirmed that it was in fact their only model that was multi-region. Of course, I had no way of checking since I had no DVDs at the time with this problem. So now I just got the DVD of Weather Report Live In Cologne 1983. First my computer only recognized it if I was willing to change regions, something I can only do 4 times before it's stuck in a given region, so of course I said no. Then I tried the DVD player which also refused to play it saying, 'wrong region'. I did notice that the setup on the remote had an option to change to 'multi' so I tried that but it just resulted in a screen that kept scrolling - I had a dickens of a time setting it back. There was some message about making sure the TV supports mulit-region, so maybe I can try hooking up the DVD player to the other (newer) digital TV - this TV is a few years old. The case says it is NTSC, Region Code 2,3,4,5,6. This seems to be everything BUT the U.S. and Canada. But here's what is odd: 1) Amazon claims it is region 1. 2) B+N don't list a region, but the DVD is out of stock. Don't know if a region was listed when it was in stock. 3) Abstract Logix (never bought from them) specifically states it is region 2-6 and that they will not take returns for this issue. Glad I did not buy from them. So what are my options? 1) Could it be that both a region 1 and region 2-6 version exists and they sent me the wrong one? 2) IIRC, there is a way to rig the player to ignore the region thing. But perhaps I am supposed to be able to switch to multi and my TV is just too old. 3) If all else fails, I will try to return it to a brick and mortar B+N. Glad I only paid $20 for this. Why the hell do they do this region thing anyway? Was it something about bootlegging? If so, the supreme irony is the whole thing is out on youtube. Teach me right to try to be honest. Also, I am probably one of only 10 people in the world who want this DVD. Pissed off, Bertrand.

Hmmm, sounds like it might be worth it. How about Buttercorn Lady? Frank Mitchell is on that one also. Bertrand.

Is this as bad as I suspect it is? Do Patton and Green get any solo space? Thanks, Bertrand.

You mean a real bootleg, not like that thing Sony is peddling that is not really a boot

Have a great one! Bertrand.
