That's not necessarily true. Larry, would you be willing to share the link to the site you found? We can check it out and give you more specific feedback, as well as offer some suggestions on where you can find what you're looking for.

Not according to Stern's website.

When I bought a new car last year, I said "what the hell" and purchased this vanity plate: BEBOP1 Hands down, the funniest failed plate among our swing-loving brethren has got to be this one:

It's available for download by Verve at iTunes, Amazon, etc.for 6.99.

Jim, thanks for taking the time to listen closely to this song, and for your in-depth comments. I agree that the piano and other possible overdubs are probably at the heart of the "discord" I was hearing. Dan, I'd be interested in hearing your reactions after a closer listen to this track.

"Behind every successful man is a woman. Behind her is his wife." "The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made." "I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book."

I agree with Cliff. These are artists who created and performed music that a lot of us really enjoyed. Focusing on their physical appearance is shallow, something one sees in tabloids while waiting in line at the grocery store. To find a thread here that furthers this kind of discussion is disappointing. How about creating some threads that expose the natural process of aging in some of our favorite jazz artists?

This material has been reissued so many times, including fairly recently releases by various Andorran labels. Is there anything that makes this set special?

Room for one more Flanagan? Getting back to the OP, Tommy Flanagan is my favorite of the Detroit bop-mainstream pianists. He left an incredible legacy of trio recordings, every one of which is easily recommended to anyone who appreciates this genre. This one is especially good, imo: I will always remember Flanagan's shows in Boston every year in March a few weeks before his birthday. Great music, and a wonderful man.

I may be wrong, but isn't the inability to play CD-rs or CDs that are in less-than-perfect condition one of the signs that a player is on it's way out?

That does not answer my question.

What do you find particularly scary about this incident?

At present, no major news agencies are carrying this story. Roy's Wiki entry, which had earlier noted his death, has removed any mention of his passing. Only JazzTimes features an obituary, attributing the news to "multiple reports on social media sites," while at the same admitting "The cause and place of death were not reported." All of this painfully familiar, isn't it?

The trouble with many automatic drip coffee makers is that they do not heat the water sufficiently (195-205 degrees F) to brew a great cup of coffee. Before I began brewing with a French press exclusively, I had great success with the Capresso MT600. The current model appears to have everything you're looking for and more: (10-cup, 24-hour programmable timer, stainless steel-lined heating system, stainless steel carafe, permanent GoldTone filter, charcoal water filter, etc.). Check it out here.

Board down? Not down, just bored.

"I'm guessing what reaches people about saxophonist Charles Lloyd's ballad playing is that all those multi-noted flutters can still fool you into thinking you're hearing John Coltrane. Only now, it's Coltrane as we might imagine him sounding had he lived to be Lloyd's current age of 75: calmer and at peace with the world." Actually, Davis' remark pretty much sums up my listening experience of Lloyd. I don't presume that other people agree, but more than a few guests at my home have mistaken Lloyd for Coltrane. Maybe all of this makes me an ass, just not a presumptive one.

I think this thread is a good reminder that no matter how "trusted" your source is, do not start an obituary thread until you can verify with a reliable and identifiable source. And oh yeah, I was right.

I don't mean to disrupt the somber and respectful tone of this discussion, but it's been several hours since the original post and there is still no confirmation from reliable and identifiable sources that Mr. Silver has passed. JC doesn't name its source, and despite the assertion from Jazzwise that "It has been widely reported online and across social media..." I can find no evidence of this chatter.

Since you already have an idea of what you consider "reasonable prices", why not let us know what you're willing to pay?

I don't know if this makes any difference, but it appears that the box set is distributed by a U.S. company (101 Distribution), not an Andorran outfit.

And believe me, when Jim manually validates you, you know it!
