It tells me we all have diffferent tastes, likes, dislikes, and things we have not yet discovered. Nothing wrong with that!

Check this one out! I figure since they're selling a box, it fits in the box set thread

Everybody Chuang Chang tonight!

Conn and beer don't belong in the same sentence!

Echo....echo....echo

I think this is the key. These positions have evolved into news readers, not anchors with substance and credibility as in generations past. The requirements (and definitions) for a successful anchor seem to have changed quite a bit. I think Couric fits the bill for a current anchor. She can read a teleprompter, and doesn't hurt your eyes. Isn't that essentially what Brian Williams, Bob Woodruff, & Elizabeth Vargas are, too? "Image is Everything" - Andre Agassi in those old camera commercials

I can picture it. It's gonna happen whether we can imagine it or not. Headline News & CNN have female anchors already (probably some of the other channels do as well). I can picture (and have seen) Rudi Bahktiar, Robin Meade, and Christi Paul sharing serious information. I think Couric will be fine. edit - I tend to agree with Randy Twizzle too though. It's a rare night that I actually watch the CBS/ABC/NBC evening news. If I want to see what's going on, I'll either check one of the news channels, or go online.

The first four U.S. albums (Meet the Beatles, Second Album, Something New, and Beatles '65) have already been remastered and released as a box set. The box contains both stereo and mono mixes for each album. The next four have been remastered and are due out in another box set next week. These are The Early Beatles, Beatles VI, Help!, and Rubber Soul. These are going to be in both mono and stereo as well, though there has been ALOT of discussion (see SH forums) about there being some sort of mixup with this box that is supposedly being corrected already. Also, Let It Be has been remixed (on the Let It Be Naked release, which mixed the Spector stuff off of the release altogether), as has the Yellow Submarine Songtrack. And the Beatles 1 release was either remixed or remastered or both, too. They ARE remastering (and/or remixing) this stuff, albeit slowly. edit - I think after the second Capitol U.S. box, the UK/US releases were essentially the same. So I don't know if the series will continue as is for the rest of the catalogue proper, or if it will turn into straight remasters of the remaining releases. There are other things that have been discussed as possibilities for the third box set, such as the Live at the Hollywood Bowl LP, the Fan Club Christmas releases, the Past Masters stuff, and things like that.

Jerry's salmon colored toilet? I've heard through the Live Chat grapevine that it is presently residing in the backyard of Ron S. somewhere in Philly....

I wonder if "Buffalo Bill" was involved with producing the box.

From EKE's link, you missed: Miles Davis, Vol. 1 (Blue Note BLP 1501) Miles Davis - Complete 1st and 3rd Sessions on Blue Note (Blue Note CDP 7 81501-2) Miles Davis, Vol. 2 (Blue Note BLP 1502)

I have it on good authority that this will be on the Rypdal Mosaic 8 disc box Chuck. You might wait for that.

On my first spin of this, and liking what I hear - very atmospheric! Anyone who likes Bitches Brew and electric era Miles will probably like this one!

thanks. earlier, i looked for that option. how does one initiate an aviator? Flying lots of hours in a Cessna, for starters!

Thanks for the heads up! I just bought it. ....nice to see my money is being put to good use!!

I gotta find a copy of that. The auction ended at $21.00. Any board member the lucky winner?

Enjoy feeling that "skin" box or whatever it is?

PM sent on Jim Hall/Geoff Keezer. edit - that Wadada Leo Smith is a good disc, worth checking out!

Jazz alto saxophonist Jackie McLean dies at 73 HARTFORD, Connecticut --Jazz alto saxophonist Jackie McLean, a performer and educator who played with legendary musicians including Miles Davis and Sonny Rollins, died Friday. He was 73. McLean, a contemporary of some of the 20th century's most famed jazz musicians, died at his Hartford home after a long illness, family members told The Hartford Courant. McLean was founder and artistic director of the Jackie McLean Institute of Jazz at the University of Hartford's Hartt School. He and his wife, actress Dollie McLean, also founded the Artists Collective, a community center and fine arts school in Hartford's inner city primarily serving troubled youth. University of Hartford President Walter Harrison said Dollie McLean called him Friday with news of her husband's death. Harrison said that despite his many musical accomplishments, McLean was a modest man whose connections with his students lasted for decades after they left his classroom. "He fully understood the way that jazz as an art should be passed down to students," Harrison said. "He saw his role as bringing jazz from the 1950s and '60s and handing it down to artists of today." McLean, a native of Harlem in New York City, grew up in a musical family, his father playing guitar in Tiny Bradshaw's band. McLean took up the soprano saxophone as a teen and quickly switched to the alto saxophone, inspired by his godfather's performances in a church choir, he told WBGO-FM in Newark, New Jersey, in an interview in 2004. McLean went on to play with his friend Rollins from 1948-49 in a Harlem neighborhood band under the tutelage of pianist Bud Powell. Through Powell, McLean met bebop pioneer Charlie "Bird" Parker, who became a major influence on the young alto saxophonist. He made his first recording when he was 19 on Miles Davis' "Dig" album, also featuring Rollins, which heralded the beginning of the hard-bop style. In the 1950s, McLean also played with Charles Mingus and Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, experiences that he credited with helping him find his own style. "I never really sounded like Bird, but that was my mission," McLean said in the WBGO radio interview. "I didn't care if people said that I copied him; I loved Bird's playing so much. But Mingus was the one that really pushed me away from the idea and forced me into thinking about having an individual sound and concept." McLean made his first recording as a leader in 1955. He drew wide attention with his 1959 debut on Blue Note Records, "Jackie's Bag," one of dozens of albums he recorded in the hard-bop and free jazz styles for the label over the next eight years. His 1962 album "Let Freedom Ring" found him performing with avant-garde musicians. In 1959-60, he acted in the off-Broadway play "The Connection," about jazz musicians and drug addiction. McLean, a heroin addict during his early career, later went on to lecture on drug addiction research. In 1968, after Blue Note terminated his recording contract, McLean began teaching at the University of Hartford. He taught jazz, African-American music, and African-American history and culture, setting up the university's African American Music Department, which later was named in his honor. He took a break from recording for much of the 1980s to focus on his work as a music educator, but made his recording comeback in 1988 with "Dynasty," and later re-signed with Blue Note. His last Blue Note recordings included "Fire and Love" (1998), featuring his youthful Macband with son Rene McLean on tenor saxophone, and the ballads album "Nature Boy" (2000). He received an American Jazz Masters fellowship, the nation's highest jazz honor, from the National Endowment for the Arts in 2001, and toured the world as an educator and performer.

whoa! Rest in Peace, dear Jackie.

Anybody notice the EMI snuck out a new Norah Jones release a couple weeks ago? It's called "The Little Willies", and is a more countryfied Norah than her previous releases. Guess that's why it's not on BN, but on "Milking Bull Records" Band is: Norah Jones - piano, vocals Richard Julian - guitar, vocals Jim Campilongo - electric guitar Lee Alexander - bass Dan Rieser - drums

My statement was more directed at your "Nothing funny about this" comment. It seemed to me you were ok with making fun of the other situation.

...as sad as the one where the father of three was murdered by his wife.

Gotta respectfully disagree there! Maybe the Mavericks would be easier competition for Detroit, but I don't think the two best teams in the NBA would be competing, then... Compared to San Antonio, Dallas has played a lot better vs. Detroit. Guy I don't think Dallas has a playoff mentality though. They seem to play their hardest during the regular season, then fold. San Antonio plays well during the regular season, then steps it up a notch or two during the playoffs (IMO). They pace themselves a little differently than Dallas.
