The new Joe Magnarelli + Strings, "My Old Flame" is great.... With Dick Oatts, Peter Bernstein....

I'm tempted to go.. Most of the band members will be LA guys.. But would be great to see Dusko, Basso, and Ponamarev tribute to Blakey....

Glad they caught it early, Dana! Hang in there....

Sent you a PM

I might show up and see you there...

Big time Congrats! Long overdue!

Very moving... service to others is what it is all about...

David: PM sent.... -Jeff

Go Ducks!!

Pete: PM Sent...

Saw this listing on e-bay today. do not know the seller but has Good feedback. $150 not a bad price for this long OOP set- usually goes for much more! Here is link: http://cgi.ebay.com/Complete-Johnny-Hodges-Sessions-1951-55-Mosaic-5-LP-/300498104422?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item45f7153066 Could make a cyber Monday buyer happy...

Damn tricky to follow-I ALREADY have "Dedication" and "Minor Mishap" Never thought to have checked under Pearson or the Hubbard Black Lion. Maybe most everything of Freddie's is out already from that period?? You guys saved me $- Thanks!

Saw this on Amazon and elsewhere- 1961 session with Pepper Adams and Duke Pearson-complete with several alt takes. Anyone have/heard this one? Appears prime period for Freddie? Worth picking up? Comments...

SO happy about my Giants-tho I was born in San Fran, I have lived in Portland the last 25+ years. I have followed the Giants all my life-and had doubts that they would ever win the Series. Heart broken in 62 and when they lost to the Angels after being up 3-2. 'Cept for the pitching staff-and what a staff- no real hitting stars but they had real spirit and such a joy/ but the torture moniker was true as they suffered thru so many one run games. Now that they won a series-1st since 54- us Giant fans can relax and focus on the Worriors. They last won when I met my wife- 1975...

Too bad that they are all gone at that price....

I rented a car last weekend that had Sirius radio. I found a station-I think it was called Real Jazz-but it might have had another name. I think it was station #72? Anyway, I was very impressed with the playlist and sound quality. How many non-smooth jazz stations are on Sirius? Worth purchasing the service? I would have to have the portable radio with docking station as I do not intend to replace my car stereo. I did notice the station cutting out whenever I went under an overpass or entered a tunnel. How is the reception at home? Opinions appreciated. The monthly fees I have seen quoted seem quite cheap at under $10 a month.

Bump Was hopeful that someone from the site might be going to share some of the concerts with... Decent line-up this year.

Michael: I was able to catch some of your set-split between Bobby Watson and Horizon-you were each on at same time. What I heard-and the interplay between Brecker and Escoffery(?) was great as well as your playing. It was a great Festival-thank God they have a great endowment to keep the Festival going...

His new CD with Pete Christlieb on Origin Records was just released. Damn! Got a chance to see him a few times in Seattle. RIP...

I am planning on going and hope some other board members Might be going as well. If so send me a PM..

thanks for the ideas for Tuesday, Mark!

all gone thanks

This line-up is top notch. Much better than I get to see out West. Sunday and Monday look superb. Can't wait to catch Michael's set...

Any Board members going to the Detroit Jazz Festival Labor Day weekend? Looks like a good line-up.. My first time seeing Barry Harris! Any recommendations for restaurants near the Festival? I am not catching a flight till Tuesday afternoon-and won't have a car-some ideas on museums, and other must see stops within walking distance of the Downtown Marriott/waterfront I can do before leaving town Tues afternoon? Thanks!

Happy Birthday!!!
