  1. Thank you all for the input,I appreciate it ! I have since found some of these tracks on You tube,sound quality varies.
  2. I am quite enticed by this pairing. I would like to know if anyone has heard these concerts in some form? I really would like to know about the sound quality? Bad recordings really put me off. Thanks Jazz fans.
  3. Has anyone heard this new offering from BE trio recorded in '76 in Madison,Wisconsin ?
  4. Ciao Lon,

    I saw that you ordered the new Hank Mobley from Jazz Messengers.I used to order from them monthly for years-great store ! I visited them in Madrid.

    I was wondering if you've received it,how is it and how is the sound?

    Thanks Lon,  Jeff

      Just saw this, only shows up on my profile page, and noticed it because for some reason it shows up on rooster tie's phone when he looks at the board and he's seeing things that look like private messages to him. Interesting!

      No Jeff, haven't received this from Jazz Messengers, usually takes more time than has passed since the shipping date, probably will be a week or so more before I have it. There are favorable reviews of the release though on the thread about the release, and most seem to say that the sound is quite good on two of the three sessions, and okay on the third.

      Thanks Lon,perhaps after you get it you can give me a better appraisal.I will keep this one mind.

       

  5. Great article ! I had the pleasure of hosting Ray Brown' s group at a local Italian Jazz festival maybe 12 years ago. Besides enjoying a great show and dining with the band (sitting across from Ray and next to Hank Jones),I acted as translator for Ray for an Italian jazz magazine writer. The writer asked several questions along the lines "Miles Davis continued to innovate his sound his entire career but your bass playing has remained in the same style, why"? Mr. Brown didn't take too kindly to this line of questioning and was visibly perturbed. He said to me "Jeff , this guy better get some new questions or this interview will be over fast". I said Ray don't shoot me I'm just the messenger." Rest assure I gave theoblivious writer the lowdown but the interview was pretty brief ! Don't mess with Mr. Brown ! Great article !

  6. Yes I did. They list the same titles (S. Turrentine, L. Donalson) that have been available for pre order for what seems like 6 months or more.
  7. What happened to XRCDs from Elusive disc ? They haven't released anything new for awhile. I have about ten of these titles and all are excellent ! Please Elusive disc get it together. Three cheers (or more) for Alan Yoshida's mastering = EXCELLENCE !!

  10. Have never seen this one and I have most of Bobby's cds,I will look for it. Thanks
  11. Hello board members, Am going to Japan (Tokyo/Kyoto) in mid-April.Can anyone give me some tips on good venues for live Jazz as well as Jazz music stores (cds) new and used? Thanks much, Jeff
  12. Jeffsjazz here. I must agree with several posters.This cd is simply fantastic and a concept cd that hits it out of the park. By far her best recording ! "Too young to go Steady", gives me goose bumps.Listen to it on a nice valve system to get that warmth ! Absolutely gorgeous !
  13. Not to ruffle anyone's feathers but why are clickable links frowned upon?
