I've been playing disc 5, too...and loving it (not to invoke the image of that lame-ass McDonald's add campaign). I had to ask Mosaic to ship me a new booklet, as mine had coffee spillage all over it. Of course, they complied.

Rashied Ali quintet sold out the Bluemonk in Portland. It's a decent-sized venue. Having Reggie Workman and Ravi Coltrane in your group helps the cause.

Any one regarding "saxman".

Junior Cook-Senior Cookin' 32Jazz cd The rest are lps: Eric Dolphy Quintet U.S.A.-some weird Italian Bootleg Little Johnny C-Original NY Pressing, a little rough, but $3.00! Dexter Gordon-Resurgence Cannonball Adderley Collection Vol. 1 Charlie Haden-the Golden Number

To the last post I'd add Ella Monk Mingus Trane Billie

Pm'd you--re Chet, and F. Newton.

I have an Onkyo 6-cd changer (R1) which I have in my basement for occassional use. It has 2 problems: 1. The carousel will hardly ever close- it gets close, but then opens back up .2. It will also cut out once in a while, where there is like a .5 second power interruption. This is after a few good years of solid use, so I'd say that they make a pretty decent cd changer.

Hell Yeah! This is some good news!!!

Yes, Jeff did a "bang-up" job. The hardest part of dealing w/ him is that he's reluctant to accept any compensation! Thanks again, Jeff...and to all else w/ their suggestions and feedback.

Yes, I sensed some bias, but you didn't include Rick Fox as most improved, so I wasn't sure. It was good to see Malone dominate.

Shaq's #'s are down. Luke is O.K., not great, Fish is washed up, Phil (?) I don't think so. Kobe is an (o)ffender.

Excellent News, Jim!!! Congrats!

I'll be checking out Rashied Ali, Reggie Workman, Ravi Coltrane and co. for the second night of live jazz in the hood.

Well, after weighing the self-loathing incurred by charging it today vs. what I'd face if it sold out before I got one, I charged ahead. I'm damned sure that I won't regret this one! !

Reminds me of ye olde Spanish Fly/stickshift story! Minus the Spanish fly and stickshift, of course.

Damn tax return! GET HERE!!!

It looks like Marian McPartland sitting there in Piano. I could be wrong, though!

Jesus! I'm also glad that you weren't injured, and hope that the bike repairs are covered.

Until 'Sheed starts w/ the dope busts, and other acting out behavior.

It occurs to me that we are dealing w/ men-only issue here, sporting these addictions. I'd give an eye-tooth to hear a woman sharing her "addiction to jazz cd buying" story right about now. I remember walking around NYC w/ my ex-wife while on our honeymoon, and I was so vigilant about shopping for jazz (cd's, lp's, prints, all of it), that we had some power struggles. I got some great shit on that trip, though...and saw some amazing acts. It was worth it, I guess...is my point. B)

Well, it ruled. I can't imagine that there's a tighter quartet on the planet today. The acoustics were indeed great. I couldn't make out many of the tunes, could you, Late? They did "Go"...but the others...? Brian Blade was just unbelievable. So inventive, strong, and ass-kickin'. I'll sleep well tonight. -_-

Blue Train, MSFL Gold cd. I know that these cd's are mostly hype, but I like the way this one sounds.

I just had to share this. I'm freakin' stoked. I have these friends who bought these tickets, but decided not to go. I missed them in Portland last time through, so I'm giggling with glee today!!!

I chose a tie. They are both amazing, but I think that LeBron is a better passer, and as far as I can tell, as better kid.

I don't think that the massage parlor sub-plot had that much momentum or promise. Though it was abrupt, I think that Buscemi (sp.) opting out of civilian life will eventually pay dividends for us viewers. With it being the last season, the most we could've hoped for at the massage joint was Mr. Kim's daughter joining the action.
