ALLAN, BIG AL, MARK: Youze guys all got cds comin' your ways.... The Roach, Shank/Cooper, and Peterson (Criss Cross) will all be headin' out. Give me a few daze to limp to the Post office Can anyone help me find a few goodies to come my way to pass my housebound time Hope you guys all have fun enjoyin' your new tunes.... -Jeff

As I am trying to get back into the groove-and am homebound for 8 weeks-recovering from a 7 level bypass surgery-lots of time on my hands now - I thought I'd throw a few goodies into the mix (including maybe a few OOP)- but I have been confused trying to folllow what is still available on "the other end." It appears you have to go back 5-10 series of postings at a time to see what has been snatched up (still available ) Oh, What the hell-this is about just giving away stuff to make a few people's days, right? It'll do my ticker good So, here are mine....have a go at 'em...: "Tests of Time"- Ralph Peterson Criss Cross #1240 (W/ Jeremy Pelt) "Max Roach + 4" Max Roach (W/Kenny Dorham/Sonny Rollins) Emarcy "Babes Blues" The 3 Sounds OOP/old BMG issue "Blowin Country" Bud Shank/Bob Cooper OOP/West Coast Classics!! (But if anyone has any spare K2 remasters... ) Jeff

GREAT SHOTS-as usual, Mark! I'm so itchin' to get a chance to visit the Jazz Record Mart/Dem Bastards at the Groove.....

I was excited to get my copy of this cd/DVD set today- just for the RVG interview-but lo and behold, my copy came only with the cd-NO DVD disc-how about that-and this was the store's ONLY sealed copy I couldn't be the only one out there with a defective set????? I'm sure it would take more time to let BN know then to wait till the store gets more... (And I already had all the cd material.....Grrrr Just what a guy needs just one week past a 7 bypass open heart surgery- my first day cross town to get out of the house. The RVG interview better be REAL special... Oh, forgot, gots to keep the blood pressure down. (HI TO ALL MY ORGANISSIMO BUDDIES OUT THERE-I'M STILL KICKIN'-jest a little weaker Jeff/jazzkrow

THANKS, GUY!! Deep Discount has the Quebec but for some reason does not (yet) list the Mobley. Wonder why?

Locally I can find the new 2/15 RVGs at no better than $10.99. Who has the best SHIPPED price out there? CD universe wants $3.99 to ship the 2 that I want-Heavy Soul & Hi Voltage-which pretty much negates their $8.39 price after shipping. Tower wants $11.99 but no shipping since order would be over their $20 threshold. What's a cheapskate to do-just wait the 3-5 mos till yourmusic.com sells them for $4.99/5.99??? (I only have burns of these 2 RVG...) Hard to be patient while you big spenders rave about your RVG copies....

I have both of them and dig them a lot. The Gordon is just a notch below the Newman in my opinion if you plan on just buying one. The Newman with fellow Basie sidemen swings hard... Get 'em both-our friends at Dusty Groove have them both usually.

ALLEN: Just sent you an e-mail about the France cd. -Jeff

Are they available online at J&R? I tried typing in Spanish Blue Note, Time/Life, etc. with no luck. Any hints....

Scott: Just sent you a PM... Jeff

Anyone know which K2 Remasters are being offered at yourmusic.com ? Using the Advanced Search on the website you can't tell. Have anyone's K2's arrived yet? Thanks!

Does anyone have a list of the K2 for sale by BMG or Yourmusic.com? Or should I just look for OJC listed as "Remastered?" THANKS!!

GUILTY AS CHARGED.... I visit their site weekly and place one or two orders a month. They ship immediately and their prices are reasonable especially on Lone Hill type material.

Musical Marine: Just sent you an e-mail on one of the Brown/Roach Emarcy cds. Jeff

I tried to join again following the link. I was able to get to the $4.99 home page, but when I attempted to enter my ID info it took me to a page that showed all cds-$5.99. Further it states in their fine print for cancellation that when you cancel your membership they still ship you the cds on your list at $5.99 before closing your account. Strange?? Anyone else figure how to cancel and rejoin at $4.99? It's pretty weird that they have 2 different memberships.. Maybe the $4.99 membership gets you backordered cds only Maybe I'll just stick with $5.99 and pretend to be happy B-) I have received all the cds I've ordered. 2 days ago I ordered 3 of the BN Connoisseurs: Wilson, Hill, and Hutcherson. I don't want to jeopardize that order Advice?

Kevin: I'm already a member of your music.com When I followed the link you posted it took me to the Home page-with cds at $5.99 each. Are you sure you guys got $4.99 each? If so, I wonder if I can change my membership to $4.99?? Anyone else have this issue as well? Jeff

I picked up Fuller's "Up Jumped Spring" recently and am really impressed with this cd-all standards-with Chicago musicians-including Brad Goode on trumpet. Very clean, clear recording-and Fuller-at least on this 2003 recording-still really has his chops. If as previously posted, he's blowing on one lung-it's a MF strong lung. I just wish Curtis would come out to the Northwest-he remains high on my list of BN legends, I'd love to catch while they still are with us-McLean, Byrd, Fuller, Hubbard... I know their best days are long ago, but still.... Guess, us West Coasters will have to make the NYC pilgrimage. Anyone else out there surprised and pleased with this session?

Anyone taken the plunge and bought/received the Seven Steps boxset for $41.93 from yourmusic.com I wonder if it will have different packaging (no metal spine?) at this price? Anyone know?

I bought m first JRVG from Ken (Grey), just to be able to say that I had one. I remember always being disappointed because his initial sales posting would always go up while I was sleeping on the West Coast and your East Coast folks scarved up the goodies at 6-7 AM your time. My sympathies go out to his family and close friends..... RIP, Ken!

I went into the yourmusic.com site. Looks interesting-especially with NO shipping charges-and all cds only $5.99. The only catch is that you have to agree to purchase one cd per month-and they will charge your card for the $5.99 even if you do not place an order. Some of their box sets are cheaper on the BMG site. Has anyone in our group joined yet? I'd be curious about your experience.... May be worth dumping BMG for this company. I wonder if they get everything as soon as BMG does??

Vic: Just sent you a PM. Jeff

BIG AL: ALL the Reece sessions are top notch that make up the Select. Star Bright & Soundin Off are every bit as good as "Comin On" IMHO... (Tough to find individually as well....) Get this Select-you won't regret it. Jeff

Larry Johnson was a new name to me-his playing and singing were impressive. Has he recorded any lps/cds? Jeff

Anybody else out there seen "Lightning in a Bottle"-the Blues tribute concert now in the theatres? What a line-up-BB, Buddy Guy, Solomon Burke, Dr. John, Hubert Sumlin, Mavis Staples, Gatemouth, and many, many others. The cinematography, and concert sound were impeccable. It's a must buy when/if it comes out on DVD. Brought me back to my blues loving days at the Fillmore West in the late 60's. B-)
