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!!!

Frishberg lives here in Portland and when he is not playing in New York, he backs up both Rebecca Kilgore (on Arbors label) and lately enjoys playing with Retta, who has a great voice and a big following here in town. David Evans settled a few years ago in Portland and plays with many different folk. New Orleans transplant, Devin Phillips, saxophonist from New Orleans, came here soon after Katrina. Bassist David Friesen also makes his home here. Esperanza Spaulding went to high school here before she took off for New York and stardom. Quite an active scene here in Portland, but only one jazz club, Jimmy Maks, where the great drummer Mel Brown plays several days a week. Happily, Curtis Fuller, will be coming to town next month to play with Mel Brown's band

PM sent on the Bud Shank..

What might you have of late Blue Note issue of Blue Mitchell or from his Mainstream LPs? Thanks. Jeff

Trade for the McLean set has been made to John Felser! Thanks, John!

Hoping for some interest in a trade.

I was able to get a spare copy of the 6 CD "Complete 1955-1957 Jackie McLean Quartet, Quintet, Sextet" box set. Looking to trade it for the new Lockjaw Davis/ Shirley Scott box set or open to other similar value box sets. Does not have to be a 6 CD set in return. Trade to US members only due to cost of international mail Thanks!

Don't be surprised if Best Buy cannot fill your order-I once had a pending order with them for 3+ mos before giving up I eventually got this set from Borders at a similar price. Being an optimist I just put in an order myself since at this price it makes a good gift. I'm just not counting on Best Buy to fulfill this order. This box set goes for well more than they are asking-and it is a great set Let's all cross our fingers-and toes...

Anyone on the Board heard the new 4 CD Donny Hathaway box set-Retrospective on Warner Bros (France issue?)

My all time favorite pianist. Finally got a chance to see him 2 times in the last five years. In person, as kind and as gracious man, as you'd ever find... RIP, Hank!

Checked out this set on Amazon.com Canada-for some reason even after I added another inexpensive item to get price over $40CD free shipping wasn't added. 40% Borders coupon expired last weekend. Any other sources?

I have several mint condition Mosaic LP box sets to trade. They have only been played once or twice and boxes and booklets are in superb condition. I would consider possibly a 2 for one trade for the rarer CD sets I'd like. For Trade-LP sets: Hall, Johnson, DeParis, Dickenson set Albert Ammons/ Meade Lux Lewis set Complete Blue Note Tina Brooks Complete Blue Note Clifford Brown Complete Charles Mingus 1959 CBS set (I also have the Miles Davis Complete Jack Johnson Columbia CD set to throw into the mix) Wants: (I know some of these are odd requests...but they fill in my collection) Box and Booklet only for the Buck Clayton CD set CDs #5-7 of J.J. Johnson set and plastic CD holder Shorty Rogers CD set Bud Shank CD set Mel Lewis/ Thad Jones CD set Send me a PM to discuss trade possibilities... Thanks!

Up for air.... No interest from Mosaic LP set collectors? All of my sets are OOP I am open to trade proposals or to purchase the side items I need. Mosaic can't help me with them. Thanks! T

I've gone to several of these LAJI weekends. They are great and a nice way to meet the musicians who are very approachable. Plus you can also get away during the slow times and hit the Amoeba on Sunset Blvd and maybe out to Charlie O's to catch a late set.

Jim is a great guy-and personal friend. The Jazz Trading Post was big many years ago and many of us picked up loved treasures-TOCJ, etc- from trading with posters/now friends from all over the world. Many Blue Note Board members participated. Hope Jim can find some DJs to share their knowledge and collections with Monterey area and internet jazz fans...

Anyone in the Portland area going to the Portland Jazz Fest this weekend? I saw the Mingus Big Band last night. Today is Dave Holland and Christian Wallumrod. Tomorrow-Pharoah Sanders (!) and Dave Douglas Brass Ecstasy. -Jeff

It likely will play the Festival circuit in the States. I saw it in Portland....
