Don't forget to wear the right stuff ...

Maybe we could give it to my bearded, tap-dancing mail lady? It might help herget rid of her aggressions before she handles my stuff. Probably not though. I think she looks into the mirror every morning before listening to the music and ... any self-control goes out the window.

I know, but thanks anyways. I got so much broken stuff from them lately that I've been cutting down on my purchases considerably. It's a pain in the neck to return CDs all the time. I got a Gillespie CD without booklet, about 20 CDs with those "plastic teeth" of the jewelcases falling out, completely busted jewelcases, one unplayable CD, etc. I'm getting SERIOUSLY tired of their positively shoddy packaging. And my bearded mail lady does NOT take care of anything she handles. I have the feeling she tapdances on the stuff.

Found one for 9 Euro on eBay. Postage is very low, so ... a steal, I guess.

Thanks! I'm off to do some online shopping ... again.

I've seen Jan Lundgren live many times at various festivals up north. Great stuff, especially when he plays the small to smaller venues. I have some pics somewhere. I'll try to unearth them later.

Guy, do you know how it compares to the three RCA Jazz Tribune double-CDs? I've got volumes 1-2 (32 tunes covering 1938-1939), volumes 3-4 (28 tunes covering 1940-1942) and volumes 5-6 (32 tunes covering 1944-45). I'm mostly interested in the sound, if you have one of these to compare it to the box set with. Since there are obviously more recordings on the box set, I would probably get that one as well if the sound is somewhat comparable.

Thanks for reminding me of my French lessons.

A bit late, but ... ... and all of that! Edit: And sorry about that speeding thing.

Jim, thank you, thank you, thank you. P.S.: I travelled home for twelve hours from southern Poland yesterday. Next to the stupid blasting ringtones I had to listen to, I was surrounded (and I mean that) by people endlessly typing SMS messages at light speed ... all the fu**ing time. Click, click click click, click, click ... Add to that the guy behind me who was playing some ego shooter on his notebook, hitting the mouse buttons at 1280 bpm, it was completely insane. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Everyone staring into some communication or computer device - a nightmare from which I couldn't wake up. And it made me feel old. Then I got home and fired up my PC ...

Hm. I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of this one, but then I'm not such a big fan of as many Blue Note recordings as people are on this board. This session lacks character; there isn't much here to distinguish it from a pile of other recordings like it. It's solid, but that's it.

Aligned?

You guys have ABSOLUTELY no humor. Jeez. I'll post as many smileys as possible next time. Big ones!

This board is beginning to sound more and more like an alternate universe. Or maybe mine is?

What a stupid title. "I am Three"? Who comes up with this crap?

Posh? Works for me! ← Click me!

Anyone else who has this guilty pleasure? Ever since American Beauty (yes, I'm a late comer to this guy's scores), I've been hunting around for most of the stuff he has so far produced. Admittedly, there's a certain sameness to a lot of his film scores, but man, I like a lot of it. Maybe it's the moodiness and the often sparse arrangements? Or the lavish orchestration on other pieces? The Indian/Asian influences? I don't know, but Newman has written lots of things that more often than not make my mind work a lot more than other composers' scores.

I like that. A probable cover beauty. With a deep color result. Art.

a) Mosaic is not a humanitarian effort. b) They seem to be quite comfortanle with what they have, so ...

It's now the birds' fault because HE tripped? Typical!

It's just you. Everything is as it has always been. This board has not been down, the software has not been updated. Nothing. Nada. Good morning, by the way.

Why is it that everytime I chance upon this thread since its inception, I read the question to be "Who had the hippest, coolest stage manager?" It must be a Freudian thing.

Very cool. Classy look! Useful improvements. P.S.: Looking at the list above, this could never have been released by Microsoft.

If anything sucks, that does. Ostracized for life. *lol* P.S.: I've read his posts, but it seems to be some weird (proxy?) issue. No idea; can't help. The suggestions posted over there were what I could come up with. Maybe we should order him a pizza online?
