Soul Stream-I like Chet's singing and playing. Have a bunch of his work from early to late. I'm a huge fan of West Coast stuff from the early 50s with Chet and many others. The Paris cds (a 4 set from Barclay) are from 1955-I listen to Vol 2 all the time. Later, I really like Live at Nicks and Diane. Yeah, he had dental troubles, not to mention other troubles later, but he was a smarter, more mature player who didn't waste notes. Always found his singing to move me, but I like alot of non-traditional vocal types (Red Allen, Tea, Astaire, Don Redman).

I'm out of there, never to return. Here and AAJ are my sole BB destinations.

As Mae West is reputed to have once said, "I used to be Snow White, but then I drifted." Me too, my skiff finally washed up on these shores. So nice to see the familiar faces. Will just have to learn how to split time between here and AAJ-BNBB is off the Favorites list for good.

Yeah, I'm here too. Too many boards, not enough time. But. I too need my Mosaic fix. Waitin' on the Tea set to be shipped and figurin' to buy a couple more things in the not too distant future. When I was at Mosaic last Fall, Scott was working on Berigan-don't know the gestation periods for these sets, but was hoping to see Berigan by now...or at least a hint he was on his way.
