I just recently (yesterday) got the Japanese Universal version of Pres and Teddy, and the sound blew me away. This title is one I’ve been hoping would get the update it drastically needs, but I don’t think it’s gonna happen anytime soon. So, if anyone has a copy they’d like to sell/trade, or if anyone knows the best place to purchase one, I’d greatly appreciate it!

Y'sure about that? :rsmile:

Alright gang, time to get a jump on the holiday rush! I plan on mailing all the discs out the first weekend in December, with the answers to be revealed on Christmas Day! There’s one actual BFT disc, and a bonus Christmas BFT disc. Please indicate if you want both discs or just the BFT disc. PM me or e-mail acrearick@hotmail.com. I’m looking forward to this!

Seems to contain the same info as the celebatheist site, although one entry it has that the CA site doesn't have is Ray Bradbury.

I figured you already knew about this site. You mean I knew about this site before you did? Now THAT changes everything.

Listening to the Phil Schapp.... er, I mean Coleman Hawkins celebration on WKCR. Gad, I love the web! Always loved it when he & Ben Webster got together!

Before your next Tjader purchase, consult me as afar as the appearance of piccolos is concerned. Until then, use your treble controls ... B-)

Alright gang, the voting booths are closed, the various corporations have received their kickbacks, and the votes have been counted. Christmas BT=11 S.A.S. BFT=6 This is actually quite fortuitous, as I never got around to making the S.A.S. disc. I still plan to, and if/whenever I get it done, I'll make extra copies for anyone who wants one. Thanks to all who voted! aL

It'd be fitting: we are also responsible for those Simpson sisters as well.

Remind me not to include any Hector Fajardo on my BFT! Aw, c'mon: I gotta be able to identify SOMETHING!!!

Oops, 'twas editing while you wuz posting....

Oh, I thought SHE was the one screaming NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Anyhow, if you think that's bad, you haven't been to Barnes & Noble lately:

As much as I enjoy Latino, the recording quality isn't always too good. On some tracks, the bongos are too loud. ("Too loud, man.") Then there's that damn Cuban flute, which is about the most shrill instrument I've ever heard!!! But Cal's vibes, mmmmmm........

If the FCC looks into this, I would hope they would also look into all the crap that airs on the FOX Network. Yeah, right.....

So I've got the self-titled album that Verve released in their LPR series, and it is all sorts of beautiful! What an arranger this guy is! What else is out there that's worth digging?

mikeweil's BFT #18 inspired me to check out Russell Gunn's Ethnomusicology, which I didn't particularly dig, but I still like that "Woody 1" track! The same BFT inspired me to (re)buy Cal Tjader's Black Orchid, with Latino thrown in for good measure!

UP for final votes! All votes will be verified by the fine folks at Diebold, so vote with confidence!!! The voting ends tomorrow night. I'm gonna start thie signup thread on Monday, so as to try and beat the holiday rush!

Saw this used about a year or so ago. Didn't pick it up. Been kicking myself ever since!!!

Actually, I can. And don’t call me Shirley.

DOUBLE-eeeeeeewwwwww!!!!!!!

EEEeeeeeeeewwwwwww!!!!

Hey, I avoided that movie just like everyone else did!

Oh yeah? Wait'll I wrap my cluelessness around it! You'll feel like a jazz genius after my guesses are posted!
