"Is that a pipe bomb in your chicken or are you just happy to see me?"

Not yet BF, but looking forward to it. I have Cassandra's "Sing Standards" comp that Verve put out a few years ago, which cherry-picks from Blue Skies and some of her other early releases. I haven't listened to it much though, for whatever reason (probably because it's a comp). I didn't really enjoy some of her pre-BN stuff that I've picked up (the live album & Dance to the Drums), but I should probably try some of the other ones at some point. I think this one will be interesting though, and I like that Jason Moran's on it as well.

Vinny Del Negro (42 yrs old) is going to be the next Bulls coach. Terry Porter (45) is the next Suns coach. Michael Curry (39) is the next Pistons coach. All are generally youngers guys, and all former players. Porter's at least got some prior coaching experience (71-93), but the other 2 are first time coaches.

Blue Note's website shows them: BN's Three Sounds page

Newbury's also had these on sale of late, for equal to or cheaper than that. Check the Evans "Last Waltz" thread & Dolphy Complete Prestige threads for the previous discussion.

Due out tomorrow (6/10), Cassandra's new one, "Loverly". Tracklist: 1. Lover Come Back to Me 2. Black Orpheus 3. Wouldn't It Be Loverly 4. Gone With the Wind 5. Caravan 6. 'til There Was You 7. Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most 8. Arere 9. St. James Infirmary 10. Dust My Broom 11. The Very Thought of You 12. A Sleepin' Bee

I don't think these have been mentioned elsewhere... From musictap: "Blue Note Records goes through their vaults to bring back some jazz music that include the following titles: Fancy Dancer (Bobbi Humphrey); Set Us Free (Reuben Wilson); Heritage (Eddie Henderson); Elegant Soul, and Soul Symphony (The Three Sounds); and Howlin' for Judy (Jeremy Steig). These six reissues are scheduled for July 22."

Per David Gilmour's blog (here), there's a live album coming out in September, "Live at Gdansk". Here's where the fun begins though - it comes as either a 2, 3, 4, or 5 disc set. The straight 2 disc set is the live show itself. 3rd disc is a DVD of the show. 4th disc is a 5.1 surround mix of "On an Island". The 5th disc will be 12 bonus live tracks from the tour. I guess we all get to decide just how much DG we want here.

Ike Quebec - Blue & Sentimental Louis Smith - Here Comes Louis Smith Jutta Hipp - Jutta Hipp with Zoot Sims Jimmy Smith - Live at the Baby Grand, Vol 1 Jimmy Smith - Live at the Baby Grand, Vol 2

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday and thanks for your contributions to the board in general!

But...but....but he speaks of the Pompetous of Love!

Seconded!

Spinning "Reflectativity" on Tzadik for the first time tonight. It's a trio recording with Anthony Davis (who was also on the original Reflectativity from '74) and Malachi Favors Magoustous, and sounds great! I think I'm going to have to go back and pick up the Kabell box now.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Thought you meant this guy.

I bet he shot a teen in Tacoma, just to watch him die.

You create a queue of (single) discs from their inventory that you'd LIKE to have, like this: 1. Miles Davis - Kind of Blue 2. John Coltrane - A Love Supreme 3. Drew Gress - 7 Black Butterflies 4. Jimmy Smith - Back at the Chicken Shack They take Disc 1 (Miles Davis) and send it to you in June, and bill your credit card $6.99. The other discs bump up in the queue then, so that Coltrane is Disc 1. Then in July they take the Coltrane disc and send it to you, and bill your credit card $6.99. The other discs bump up in the queue, so that Gress is Disc 1. This goes on as long as you are keep an account going with them. You can cancel any time, and you can add and subtract discs from your queue at any time, or re-order them. The queue can only be single discs though, not double disc sets or box sets. In addition to the Davis disc they send you in June, you can order 1, 5, 10, 20 additional discs in June, as many as you want, whenever you want. These additional discs are also only $6.99 apiece. These can be any discs in their inventory, single, double disc sets, or box sets.

You're missing something, and I'm not sure what it is. I give up.

So I can only buy 1 cd for $6.99 a month? Why can't I buy them for $6.99 all the time? That seems kind of crazy to me. You can buy as many as you want per month for $6.99 apiece, all the time. As I've been trying to say, just make sure you have a few discs in your queue at all times, because they will take the top one off your queue and send it to you each month, and bill you $6.99 for it. Anything else you want to buy is still $6.99 per disc. These CDs are cheaper than you can purchase them anywhere else new. If this doesn't make sense to you I apologize for bringing it up.

That's not it. They ship you one cd per month for the $6.99. It isn't a membership fee, it's just the cost of the cd. Nothing else.

They're part of BMG. All you have to do if you're interested is sign up with them, and then created a "queue" of discs you'd like. They will send them to you at the rate of 1 per month, for $6.99 with free shipping & handling. You can order additional discs at anytime and quit at any time. There's no other catch. No requirement to buy any in the next year or whatever. Just make sure you have a few discs in your queue at all times, because they supposedly will bill you $6.99 even if you don't have a disc there. They have some ECM discs, some Nonesuch, some Blue Notes, Verves, etc. Mainly new releases/reissues, but some older stuff. So you could sign up, buy the Gress, then cancel your membership, if that's all you wanted, and not be out anything, or owe them anything.

7 Black Butterflies is available through yourmusic for $6.99, no strings attached.
