i have very few impulse cd's, but lots of vinyls. some of the early big band recordings, most notably the 'genius plus soul....' vinyl have horrible sound. were they better on cd?

basically yes, except Conference of the Birds and one or two Charles Lloyd and Angel Song. crystal silence with corea and burton doesnt suck. open, to love, by brother bley is magnificent. COTB, of course. after the rain, terje rypdal azymuth, with kenny wheeler, norma winstone, and kenny wheeler is sublime. nice guys the john surman stuff. a few of the methenys, notably new chataqua most of the rest of it is a waste. the american vinyls of ecm sounded great, but havent aged well. my european pressings are still fine.

henderson really branched out and grew(away from this). damned shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

every note that came out of his horn was just beautiful. in another recent thread, i mentioned 'mickey one', 'for musicians only' with stitt and gillespie, the hardest driving stan i have ever heard, stan with arthur fiedler and the bostons doing some poignant ballads, and 'cool velvet', some definitive versions of ballads with orchestra conducted by russ garcia.

the 2 hancock pieces(on piano, rather than corea on the others) are some of the most beautifully balanced ensemble playing i have ever heard.

They need to up the ante for Gasol. actually they have lost 3 straight by one point on last second shots. their coach is one of the most remarkably unflappable dudes i have encountered in this nba business. he's gonna be around a long time. is nelly back coaching the warriors?

Who wouldn't? does orgi. do weddings, birthdays, and divorce parties?

the nets just lost their 3rd straight road game. each game was lost by 1 point, the last 2 were lost on last second shots.

there is a really nice long bill parcells interview on WFAN radio page. he is a master with the media and a very complex man.

internet jazz is awesome. dont have enough hours or ears. my satellite friends leave me unimpressed.

heard on WFAN(mike and the maddog)today, a remarkable interview with jeff ruland, coach of the iona basketball team, the only winless team in major college basketball, which has lost a number of games in freaky last second occurrences. jeff is a most positive, pleasant, very humorous man, who discussed his many basketball problems, and praised his rehabilitated alcoholic exwife, who now goes around the country lecturing. his positive confident attitude was remarkable, and he wasnt blowing smoke. he will, no doubt, succeed and win big. i hope WFAN puts this interview on their website.

from 1945? hey, i have it here on cdr. doesnt get into DR in the last hour. i have the show if you want a copy. you have my email.

thanks, but my mouth waters for the ones i've missed. thanks for not succumbiing.... if you remember, shoot us a heads up before you next guest.

i have had the creative and montreux for 30 years.

bettin' its some of your best work; not that all your broadcasts arent very high caliber.

what messes one's music is the morning's after drunken parties. then one has to retrace one's posts, often using the whiteout key, and discover what an idiot one has been.

yes, but that string album is remarkably bad!

as have i. surely, there are 50 'misguided and fumbled tone arm' threads; and, most surely, several dedicated to 'missleeving.'

i thought lookout farm was a miles ripoff, too. anyone have the lieb's magnificent duo recording with richie beirach? lost my vinyl.

none of us has ever stuporously scratched a prized vinyl or buried it in the wrong cover, perhaps never to be found.

gonna check out rhythm ranch!

Actually I thought it was pretty good, though I can imagine it disconcerted some fans because much of it is very "outside" (& the outside stuff is often quite lengthy!) Re: Scofield--some of his earlier (1980s to mid-1990s discs) are good--I used to spin Shinola or was it Out Like a Light a lot on my brief-lived radio show. & the album with Joe Henderson, So Near So Far, is terrific. But I dunno about the later Scofield (walked out of one particularly dull Toronto concert, pushing my way through the droves of entranced guitarheads in the audience). Hey, Hub-Tones is a very good album--not FH's best (I like Ready for Freddie & Open Sesame more of those I've heard) but it's still got lots going for it, including the presence of Clifford Jarvis. Of recent discs I think the more disappointing ones I can think of were the Taylor/Dixon/Oxley; Metheny/Bailey's Sign of 4; Fred Anderson/Hamid Drake's Back Together Again; about two-thirds of Bill Frisell's albums after the departure of Joey Baron; David S Ware's ludicrous Threads; Dave Douglas's The Infinite; Robert Glasper's Canvas. douglas and ware, of recent, rarely fail to disappoint.
