I've often wondered why there have never been any boxed sets featuring Freddie Hubbard (as a leader, of course) . I'm sure there are some compelling marketing reasons why there haven't been any, but I don't give a rat's ass. I want a Hub box set!

Don Fagerquist Octet--Eight by Eight. Some pretty shit!

Don Ellis-- Soaring. Some crazy shit!!!

Go Eldar!

Well, Kidd didn't produce squat. 0 points. The Eastern Finals should be a good series. Oh yeah, and GO TIMBERWOLVES!

Jazzy Birthday! !!!!

Sounds spendy, but infinitely rewarding!!!!!

Thanks Rachel. You seem to possess some wisdom. I haven't even seen her yet! Nor had the chance to discuss other loves, like art, cuisine, the NBA, Elliott Smith, living in the NorthWest, Court TV, to name a few. I'm sure I could learn many things about life from her, or darn near anyone. Stereotypes are bad news. I'm always open to a little re-alignment on what is real, vs. imaginary...be it from within, or from another relative stranger! Couw, I have Tina Brooks' entire catalog, but it's filed in the sax/reeds section. Between Braxton and Byas. B) Cheers!

Yeah, I'm sure there is. Most of my life IS music, so I think that is what makes it difficult to imagine a tryst with this woman being say, lasting. I guess I'm generalizing a little bit. I won't even go into the stereotypes my mind reels off when thinking about what her other cultural tastes might be, after hearing her smooth jazz leanings. Maybe this woman is really great, no matter who is stinkin' up the room on the stereo. I'm not going to rule anything out. I do feel that if we ever did get together, for real...we'd have to maintain seperate cd storage spaces. I can't imagine having Rick Braun cds next to Clifford Brown. B)

I hear ya', Patricia. I was recently told that I needed to meet this woman who was a huge jazz lover. When I sent her an email about what her favorites were, she fired back w/ Dave Sanborn, Boney James, Rick Braun, and the like. I know that it's probably a little Seinfeldian of me to use this info as exclusionary, but I can't imagine wooing or being wooed to the sound of Sanborn. I asked her if she liked any older jazz, and she said "a little of it...but I'm really into the contemporary stuff.

Well, I have had the Morgan/Shorter for some time, and think that it's great, and taking into account my respect for the many fellow board members accolades of the Kelly/Chambers, I'll probably swoop.

I'm having a hard time justifying pulling the trigger on the Kelly/Chambers. I have about half of the stuff on individual cds, but not the Strozier... ....hmmm....and I don't find myself spinning too many piano trio cds these days.... .....Mosaic has me by the balls....that's for certain. B)

Stressin' indeed! I was trying to pry open the plastic cap (w/ hole in the center) off of a jar of Trappey's pepper vinegar today. I stupidly chose to use a steak knife to do this. Well, the knife slid out of the opening, and cut a huge gash in my index finger (left hand). I went and got it stitched up by a Dr. friend of mine (thank God that I have this friend). This was a little rough, but not too terrible. I rush home to meet with my 3:00 trumpet student, who has recently taken to absenteeism, and she doesn't show. Now i have a softball game in 1 hour, and I'd rather be settling back w/ a cool one. So Fuck, i guess I am stressing ...but the worst part of the day should be over!(?) . My poison will be PBR, I guess. Maybe some Jack.

After giving this a complete listen I can whole-heartedly say... "Pick this Shit UP"!!!!

The check's in the mail!

I couldn't access AMG when I made that first post, now that I have...they review it quite favorably, but refer to it as a "hard to find lp". But I will gladly take Jazzbo's word for it!

I just found this Inner City release yesterday in a used bin. It was the first time I'd seen or heard of this one. It's from a few different sessions, and rehearsals from 1952, '53, '65, &'66. I'm really diggin' it! And I was happy to see that the tracks weren't in the Proper box. His left/right hand independence was amazing! Roy Haynes kicks it up a notch on a couple of tracks. Has this ever made it to cd?

Dmitry, Is that Al Grey (Dizzy Atmosphere), or Al Green?

I saw Dave Liebman do " My Favorite Things" the other night, and he went so far out (and took me with) that I still haven't recovered!

Yes, I believe that it can, and already has, and will. And no-- I'm not a Sac. fan.

Cheers, Mr. Sangrey. Happy 18th!!!

My interpretation of that qualification of Conn's is that it's gently used (condition). Not that it matters, I'm sure someone will pick it up. I'm just trying to get some f/b about the music.

Does it suck? Or did you run out of shelf space? Or better yet, why are you selling this puppy?

I'll set up a program for all of you addicts for a small fee. 12 cds, or 10 lps per month, terms disclosed upon registration.

So, did you immediately recognize her????
