I'd dig a complete Joe Henderson BN set, Johnny Griffin BN (select?), I agree on the Booker Ervin and Wayne ideas, complete Prestige Kenny Dorham, complete Prestige Art Farmer. And I'd like Jenna Jameson to deliver them all to my house by mid-week.

Thanks Rooster Ties, for that post. I hope Eldar finds some good opportunities to play in San Diego, L.A., etc.. I imagine that it's just a matter of time before he will end up in NYC, where most motherfuckers of his magnitude end up living, but at 16 he's probably got some high schooling to finish up w/, etc.. I am intrigued by the lack of response to this thread (by people other than RT, and MM)-- because as far as I can tell (and I know that my opinion is around 1/239,000,000 in nationwide importance, smaller around the globe), this kid is already a GIANT. People probably haven't heard him yet, or can't imagine what the hype is all about. All I know is this dude tore it up in SLC, and I can't wait to see him play again, and again, and again.

Gone.

On Hold-Dmitry, emailed you--re, The Natural Soul TOJC

I bought this before realizing that I had the tracks on "Minor Mishap". If anyone has anything they'd like to trade, post it (or P.M. me), and we'll do business. Shrink wrap removed, other seal intact. Mint cond., also features Pepper Adams! L.E.=limited edition

YES-I think that their checkout stage is fucked, and encourage you by all means call the #(800.Bestbuy). I had the same type of issues with the site, but the land-line option was quick and easy.

I just bought that Hodges/Davis music on LP for $2 last weekend. Haven't spun it yet, though... Not sure where I'm goin' w/ this. I did order another Hodges ("Passion Flower") from Bestbuy, though, and a Gonsalves. Too good of a deal to pass up

Ah. This guy keeps unloading batches of records on my local indie store. A lot of Prestige 2fer's, comps, tons of Diz, Roy, Count, Benny Cater, etc.. But these airchecks will appear on occasion, and I try to snatch 'em. I got a Trane ("First Ride 1951") and a Fats Navarro ("Fats' Gang"). I know that a lot of these don't even make it to the shelves. The employees there are in a fortunate position, in many ways. Thanks, Jim.

This "collectors' issue seemed unusual, and w/ tracks that I hadn't heard of *: Darn That Dream Mood* Moon Dreams Hallucinations Chubbie's Blues* Poobah* Rambunctious.* Rambling* It sounds good--might be a boot. Has anyone heard it or does anybody know anything about these tracks? There is a trombonist, and tenor player on there, as well as a female vocalist.

I did a similar thing last week, picking up 4 cd's for $30. These sales and discounts will be the end of me, but at least I won't go down payin' retail. B)

Oh yes, there are many great interviews in there, among other things. Not a bad site, by any means. B)

I made my own "Mosaic" by cutting the pix out of these and making a collage out of 'em. Quite a bit of cool art in there.

Impossible--I picked up an E.S. boot from ebay, not knowing that it was a boot until it arrived. The seller listed the cd as having a bunch of new songs from the upcoming album, w/o mentioning that they were live. No big "D". It's pretty good, really. The other place where I believe they can be found is sweet adeline, or you could do a google search for Elliott trades or downloads, etc.. My modem is too slow to download 'em, so I get them from friends. There are about 3 or 4 from LA and Stockholm that are fairly recent that shouldn't be too hard to find online. If you strike out, let me know, and we can do a trade or something.

Clinton never really faced any time, though. Can you imagine Kobe getting life? I'm pretty sure he won't, but that would be quite the anti-climax to a promising career.

2004!!!?!!! Well, hopefully it will be worth the wait. I've heard a few of the tunes-from live recordings, (i.e.,"Don't Go Down", "Pretty Ugly Before", "Strung Out Again") and like them all very much. I've noticed a refinement in his song structures, and the lyrics are-- as always--clever, honest, and funny.

What/who is Couw? I 'd like to get my hands on that discography, too-if possible. Claude? Can you possibly spare an extra copy and I'll pay the shipping? My Pepper came w/ the little box&booklet, not intensely useful or informative. I could burn an OOP for you, too-or somethin'....? Sure am diggin' the music, though. Thanks

I was just at a jazz festival in Utah, and saw this 16 year old Russian kid play. It was beyond description. I went online to see if anyone else had heard him, and non other than Benny Carter was in disbelief. The comparisons to Art Tatum are valid (IMHO), but he seems to have asborbed many other players too (Bill Evans, Chick, McCoy, O.P.)...I don't think I've ever seen the use of the term "prodigy" seem like such an understatement. Eldar Djangirov!

Dex's "Guess I'll......Dry", Coleman Hawkins' "Body and Soul", JC on "Lush Life" (Prestige), and also on "In a Sentimental Mood".

Well, I'm finally sportin' a web address, w/ some jazz artwork for sale...check it out. I guess this is SPAM, but please forgive me...as I knew that some folks here might at least be interested in lookin'. It's all there except for one of Ornette (which should be up there soon). Thanks--MM the site: jazzdrawings.com

Where, how much $, etc.? I'd be interested!

SOLD! Other interested parties-- thanks for your inquiries!

You're in luck. I have a copy of this that I would part with. Email me at: mattcmoor@earthlink.net, if you're still looking.

I listened to the interview last night (per the link in y'r post), and I've read his bio. Also, I've listened to many a recording. I think that he was a bad-ass mother fucker. Especially with Joni Mitchell around '79. Teen-Town rocked my world the first time I heard it on one of those live in NYC recordings. I can't help but feel though, and I don't think that I'm going out on too much of a limb here, that his self-aggrandizing attitude was off-putting. Maybe it was a product of his mental illness, and or insecurity, or both. Sticking to the music , though, I always get a w/ the occassional . Wish he hadn't been flattened by that bouncer.

It will be my next purchase. Thanks, all.
