Regarding the SACD, I've only listened to the redbook layer. Don't have an SACD setup right now. And I actually have been listening more to the tracks on the Jazz Factory disc that I haven't already heard...the trio tracks. I'll try and do an A/B comparison later and see, though. I'm guessing the SACD redbook is more recently remastered, if the JF disc is from other sources.

bump.... I bought the SACD hybrid from yourmusic.com a while back, and am generally satisifed with it. I've listened to it a bit lately, going back and forth between this one and the amazing Uptown disc. However, I also have to plead ignorance about this concert. I didn't realize there was a "Vol II" release (credited to Bud Powell), consisting of trio recordings from Powell/Mingus/Roach, until just recently. This OJC disc looks confusing to me though...there is stuff on it that ISN'T from the Massey Hall show but is played by the same trio, and there is also stuff on there that isn't even played by Powell, but by Billy Taylor. So, just today I picked up Charlie Parker: Complete Jazz at Massey Hall, on Jazz Factory. Got it locally for cheap, however I also realize Jazz Factory and it's sister labels are grey area. BUT it seems to be the best (only?) way to get the complete concert (minus the tune "Bassically Speaking" which wasn't recorded (?)). Concert set: Quintet: 1. Perdido 2. Salt Peanuts 3. All the Things You Are/ 4. 52nd Street Theme Roach Solo: 5. Drum Conversation Trio: 6. Cherokee 7. Embraceable You 8. Hallelujah (Jubilee) 9. Sure Thing 10. Lullaby of Birdland 11. I've Got You Under My Skin Quintet: 12. Wee (Allen's Alley) 13. Hot House 14. A Night in Tunisia "Bassically Speaking" was played between 9 & 10, according to the Jazz Factory notes. There was also another quintet performance afterwards, with the Graham Topping Band at the end of the show, which is also not included. Is there a legitimate way to get the complete Massey Hall recordings, or is this Jazz Factory disc the best way to go? edit - the Jazz Factory disc is also minus the Mingus overdubs, by the way...

#2239 here....BUT.....when you turn it upside down, it looks like #6.

← Yep, they still suck. 21-0 Oklahoma, and it's only half-way through the first quarter.

Think he's burned a few too many brain cells maybe?

John Scofield - Bar Talk Buy It Now Price of $125.00 - are Nimbus recordings THAT good? I already have this on vinyl (not on CD yet though...it's practically impossible to track down), and don't need to upgrade at that price.

up for air.... Not jazz, but I was in my local Half-Price bookstore this afternoon, after running some errands. I stumbled onto a $1.00 CD-Single from one of my favorite rock groups, Porcupine Tree. The single is called "Stars Die", and is hard to come by. Most recent copy on ebay went for $71!

Yesterday I ordered all 5 of the new RVGs they listed, and they're all on backorder...

Happy Birthday, and a little taste of home - Dunn's River Falls...

He guests on his brother Motohiko Hino's discs "Sailing Stone" from '91 and "It's There" from '93. SS includes a number of Rolling Stones covers, and the other includes Led Zep covers. The bands include Scofield, Stern, Dave Liebman, Steve Swallow, & Karen Mantler. Scofield also guests on T. Hino's "May Dance" from 1977, which I haven't tracked down yet. And Hino guests on Scofield's first leader date, "East Meets West" from 1977 as well.

...trainwreck in progress... T.O. gets into fistfight with Hugh Douglas in locker room

That Frisell disc is well worth picking up!

Have I mentioned the Aggies suck? Oh yeah, I did....

that's not that far removed, so you have little to worry about: Alison Krauss -> Viktor Krauss -> Bill Frisell -> Paul Motian -> Bill Evans -> Miles Davis

Well, that puts you ahead of Miss Simpson herself. ← The prosecution submits evidence 1-A to the jury (when you can't even lip-sync effectively, resort to the hoe-down):

Was this a one-off performance, or did they do a whole tour?

ok...not a box set, but I'm just starting to look for the two News For Lulu discs. Is this a representative price that this is going for?? News For Lulu

Spurs got their rings from the Commish last night: ...and then went on to play a good game against the Nuggets. Finley certainly started out right in his first game in S.A. I don't know about the Van Exel signing, but if it's a package deal for Finley I'd take it any day. The Spurs hired a shooting coach (Chip Engelland) to work exclusively with Tony Parker, to help him overcome his inconsistency. And Duncan's got Fro this year. It's not Wallace-sized, but it's a start...

Must....resist....urge....to make.....bj league....cheerleader....joke....

I just got a cancellation notice again for the Legacy edition of "Round About Midnight". So I went back to re-order it (again), hoping it might actually stick this next time, but it appears this title is no longer available through yourmusic, or BMG now.

Greg Osby - Channel Three Jimmy Smith - At the Organ Vol 3 ...hoping a few more of the RVGs show up later today!

A nice lineup of artists there! Be sure and say hello to our old friend Che at the Gilad Atzmon show!
