I get credit for first asking PS - I'm only 74 posts behind you now!

My Monk 3 disc Prestige box has no booklet. Is that one that you've done by chance, John? or Ubu? anyone? Ferris?

I don't think they're that big in the eye of the general public. Basically a two hit wonder back in the 80's (Wrap It Up and Tuff Enuff). I think they lost alot of people's interest after Jimmie Vaughan left, too, as that was a large part of their appeal...."SRV's brother's band". I'd guess the only thing your normal B&M would even consider stocking by these guys is a compilation.

Ignacio Berroa - Codes (Blue Note) Cannonball Adderley - Why am I treated so bad? Toots Thielemans - One More for the Road Rebop: The Savoy Remixes Sly & the Family Stone - Different Strokes by Different Folks

Happy Birthday, sOuL sTrEaM!! (it's hard to type like that!)

My personal definitive edition is the K2, which while it sounds perfectly fine to me, isn't definitive due to the sound, but rather Sonny's signature on the front. Won't be upgrading this one!

Titans mascot injures opposing QB NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- New Orleans quarterback Adrian McPherson went to the locker room early in the third quarter after a golf cart ridden by the Titans' mascot hit him at the end of halftime Saturday night. A Saints spokesman wasn't immediately available for an update on the quarterback, who's heading into his second season. The mascot was riding on a golf cart and throwing items into the stands during halftime, and was heading off the field when the Saints were returning from their locker room for the third quarter. The cart hit McPherson, who stayed on the field for a few minutes being checked out by a trainer on the sideline. He then walked off the field.

Good to know, thanks! Maybe it's not Mingus' most unappreciated album, but maybe the worst (?). I don't have alot of Mingus' later recordings, and have always been curious about how his music would sound with electric guitar. This one has also been on my radar due to Scofield's presence. But I stopped being a Scofield completist quite a while ago (though I do have all his leader dates, and still enjoy his work), as my tastes have broadened. I guess if I bump into it cheap, I'll give it a try, but it's sure not high priority.

Anybody have "Three or Four Shades of Blues"? Worth seeking out?

Ugh! Thanks for bringing up another sore subject. My recent Zweitausendeins order supposedly shipped on July 28th, and still hasn't arrived 2 weeks later. I know they say to allow 3 weeks, but my previous orders arrived much more quickly. It's a conspiracy, I tell ya--they're all out to get me. My only consolation is that if neither Concord nor Zweitausendeins come through by the end of the month, I can then justify an order from the Mosaic sale. I hope your 2001 order doesn't follow suit with the one I ordered way back, Ron. Actually in some ways it's similar to the Coltrane thing with Concord, in that I ordered a few boxes that WERE available at the time of ordering, but due to some unnecessary delays that were their fault (moving their warehouse), the items were no longer available when it was finally time to ship. Definitely some unnecessary delays going on with these Concord orders too. Damn college kids **pulling up waistband**.

My guess is that the Coltrane box--like the Evans box--is history. You may be right. I wonder if what they're doing (and not telling anyone) is holding the Trane orders in case the product shows up.

Eagles just played 4 days ago! Dang, that's kinda harsh in the preseason isn't it?

I think the logo is intended to look "3D", but maybe you have to be a little too far away from your monitor to get the right effect (?). Perhaps Use3D could use 3D to make a useful 3D image

No problem - I'd like to see more dates added as well...including Austin! Bill's schedule shows his last performance prior to the dates with deJohnette as 11 August, and the first date afterwards on 11 November, so there's certainly some time around those dates for more performances (assuming neither is recording or otherwise occupied).

From Bill's web page: 10/4/06 - San Luis Obispo, CA Spanos Theater - Bill Frisell with Jack DeJohnette and Jerome Harris 10/5/06 - San Francisco, CA Bimbo's 365 Club - Bill Frisell with Jack DeJohnette and Jerome Harris 10/6/06 - Eugene, OR The Shedd - Bill Frisell with Jack DeJohnette and Jerome Harris 10/7/06 - Portland, OR Aladdin Theater - Bill Frisell with Jack DeJohnette and Jerome Harris 10/8/06 - Boulder, CO Boulder Theater - Bill Frisell with Jack DeJohnette and Jerome Harris 10/9/06 - Bozeman, MT Emerson Cultural Center - Bill Frisell with Jack DeJohnette and Jerome Harris 10/11/06 - Knoxville, TN Bijou Theater - Bill Frisell with Jack DeJohnette and Jerome Harris 10/14/06 - Philadelphia, PA World Café' Live - Bill Frisell with Jack DeJohnette and Jerome Harris

Don't hold your breath, Ron. I've received no word on my order of the 18th yet. It was the Trane box set, so maybe those go slower or something. I'll let you know when I get mine. Don't forget: some of the CDs in my first order are yours. You mean I am currently listening to Paul's CD's too???

That Kenny Werner date excites me - with Chris Potter, Dave Douglas, AND Brian Blade? Quite a good lineup. I'd like to see Blade put out another leader date like his two BN recordings.

I don't get why you're coming down on GA for receiving review copies legitimately from his sources. Isn't that between him and the labels? What business is it of ours? Review copies go out all over to reviewers. And you (like me) are using the organissimo board to offer your used CDs for sale/trade to other board members, so aren't you "using" the organissimo name for your benefit as well?

For a while she was kinda hot: then she was kinda not:

Perhaps it's a review copy, and GA is a reviewer for some publication/website etc? Isn't that who pretty much all of the promo discs are sent out early to? I'm confused as to what is upsetting you.

Well this order arrived today! The box was a little worse for wear, but the most interesting thing was that someone had scratched out my address, and hand-written over it was an address in Philly (to a Mr. "Ron S" or something). Luckily, my friendly neighborhood postal worker caught the mistake and made the correct delivery. It looks like that bottle of champagne I gave him for the 4th of July paid off this year!

Over on the SH I mentioned that Hunter wasn't the opening act in Fairfax, but rather joined Van onstage during his show. However, someone who was also at the show said that Hunter DID open the show: I guess he will be opening the other shows on this tour after all...

No Chit? I almost bought a dvd yesterday, then I thought better of it.

Aric's been around long enough to know that there's already a thread for posting about the music that he just purchased, right?

Glad to see this coming out. We talked about it earlier this year. Definitely one to pick up!
