Jimmy played on Byrd's Blue Note sessions of May 20, 1963 & November 18, 1964. I don't know how many titles were recorded those two days, but three tracks were included on the CD reissues of Mustang! & Blackjack.

The Harmonic Generator consists of five main components: - 64 piano strings on the outside of the device are chromatically tuned to 32 notes. - 32 corresponding motors with bristle paint brushes beating the strings at controlled speeds - a homemade keyboard, played like a piano, controls motors. - 12 pick-ups that focus on one octave of strings - a transducer at the end of the instrument that feeds back the sound of the pick-ups into the large resonance hull

I suspect that many of the blogs that use megaupload and other similar services to share files will soon "go private" to avoid detection. It makes me think of what happened after Prohibition was enacted, and it's ironic to discover that one such site is called "Jazz Speakeasy". Check out this description of the hapless victim of the government's prosecution, Megaupload's Kim DotCom, aka Kim Schmitz: In New Zealand today, TV news was filled with images of police removing property from Schmitz's home, which he named The Dotcom Mansion. Police seized 18 vehicles, including a vintage pink Cadillac, a Lamborghini, a 2010 Maserati, and 2008 Rolls Royce Phantom with a personalized license plate that reads "God." Some of the other license plates found on the cars read, "Stoned," "Mafia Hacker" and "Guilty." cnet.com story

As the moderator pointed out, we don't begrudge anyone the right to ask whatever price they wish for their goods. I think it's a good policy, and I see that you received some dubious comments about these sales on at least one other board. That being said, and I hope this doesn't contradict what I've already said, I don't think other people's asking price is a good indication of what something is worth. An item is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Past sales, not offers, are what a seller should quote if they want to convince a potential buyer. But again, you don't have to do that here, and no one should ask you to. Good luck, and I hope one of the Hoffman wackadoos forks over plenty for your cds.

I think you're looking for the Hoffman board. That's two doors down on the left.

The cult of Grachan Moncur III I could understand... That's the one I can't fathom. Interesting composer, but extremely limited as an instrumentalist, imo.

A better deal for eMusic members - $6.49.

That's a busy little 9-iron. As I recall, she took Tiger down with the same club. Nah. It was Tiger's own club that did him in.

I use beans roasted less than a month ago, grind them just before brewing in a conical burr machine, and pour water from an electric kettle over the grounds in a stainless steel french press. 4 minutes later, I fill my mug and pour the rest in a warmed double-wall stainless steel nissan thermos carafe that keeps it hot for a few hours if needed. For those who don't think they have the time for this 15-minute process, I say "get your lazy ass up 15 minutes early! And take those beans out of the freezer/refrigerator and store them properly in a stainless steel container with a CO2 release valve!

Yet another case where our "old friend" at AMG wrote his review with his eyes and not his ears.

And how many trillions has the current president wasted in 3 years??? Try to keep politics in the politics section please... ... He says while making his own political swipe. Now here's a guy for whom hypocrisy comes oh so easy.

With a little effort and a freeware editing program like Audacity, you can easily remove those bothersome gaps.

It takes integrity to admit when one has erred. I salute you, sir.

Yes. But the news media was quick to conclude she was wasting money for the hell of it. The news media? What about yourself?

I detect a hint of romanticism in your post, i.e. jazz musicians can't retire because of their love for the road. Unfortunately, I suspect the reason behind the decision to put off retirement is financial for most musicians. They simply can't afford to stop because they didn't earn a lot and couldn't save enough for their later years. They don't have pensions and many don't have adequate healthcare insurance, if at all. Their rent and other costs are going up at a much higher rate than their pay. Sure, there are cases where it's a "play or die" ethic, but I think for too many jazz musicians it's "play or starve".

I totally agree.

Aw c'mon. He's so cute.

Have either of Ornette Coleman's two releases on Impulse!, Crisis and Ornette At 12, ever been reissued on CD or been available as a digital download, in the U.S., Japan, or elsewhere? Thanks in advance for thoughtful replies. Hopefully this won't turn into a Denardo-bashing thread.

If it were me, I'd check out the David Murray Cuban Ensemble plays Nat King Cole "En Espanol" at Birdland.

When someone mentions Jim Hall (and I think he fits in with the discussion you've raised), I like to add another name: Joe Diorio. Terribly underrated, imo, his sound and style is beautiful yet chock full of ideas that keep you thinking.

Although this album is credited to "Jug And Sonny", Stitt only appears on one tune, and he's playing baritone. If you want music featuring both together from this period, it's better to stick with the many sides they cut for Prestige.
