well, I'm sticking to the K2's I have.

cool, I'd just wanna get this one for the fun factor too. I would like to d/l "Respect" from Verve's OOP site, but my uncle told me unless you burn tunes onto Apple hardware, they aren't compatible with other stuff, even burning onto CDR

place I wouldn't expect to hear Organissimo? my house

wow, great read.

anybody know where to find the UK edition that includes the "Keep on Comin'" album with Johnny Griffin?

I'm not sure if I will buy these either...............

aww, Zora likes you Joe!!

wow this sucks. I hope when I purchase some of these they play in my DVD player which doubles as my main CD player

I remember Thomas Sowell's writing from college, I think he talked about if the black community got together they could drive out the deviant forces. I think thats what his point was. As for rap and hip hop, I'm not a huge fan but there is decent stuff out there like A Tribe Called Quest, and Q-Tip but there are parallels between rappers and jazzers, the MC Battles are like cutting contests, some of the same vocabulary is used, like "cat", "hip", "motherfucker", etc... and they live a fast life, think of Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard how they'd get similar sports cars, chase after the same women, and try to outblow themselves. It was a friendly rivalry there, but a similar machismo aspect to it.

Guy, theres also an album titled "Moanin'" thats live on Laserlight I think. I pulled out "In This Korner" which I d/l and burned from emusic, didn't really listen to it before, but that one smokes! Valery Ponomarev burns in great Lee Morgan esque fashion on that one.

I'll probably get the Lonnie. No sense in me replacing "The Sounds of Jimmy Smith" because I have the Mosaic. If BN releases RVG's of "At the Club Baby Grand", and his Japan only dates like "Lonesome Road" and trio + LD, then I will bite.

what time is the stick drop at? I listened to the solo in headphones twice and couldn't hear it. And honestly, I agree about the Zappa tune, the only one I don't bob my head.. oh wait, make a track called "Bob Yo Head" and make sure when you perform it wear chicken head masks

nice. I'll listen for it in headphones.

I will be picking this one up ASAP.

LOL Joe. Jazz at its best, fuckups caught on tape, live and unedited. thats funny tho. I like the raw sound of the record too. I really love jazz albums that are cut live in the studio for the most part, captures a lot of the interaction of the moment.

M. Same here when I had the original CD. Although it is not one of my favs, its tempting to buy the reissue to hear the new stuff and reevaluate the record, because despite my tastes it is a landmark record in the Metheny catalog. I just know that when they reissue "Zero Tolerance for Silence", I am skipping that one However if Pat decides to add bonus tracks to the other albums like live versions, that will be cool. I wonder if he'll do an expanded "Road to You", I have two CD's of A+ quality(sound and music wise) of takes they did not use for that album, how they started floating around, I dunno

hey Jim, I'll write a review soon myself, but............ was the take of "Smoking Section" unsatisfactory to you guys? cuz at the end I hear "that one sucked, we need to tape it over" the take sounded fine to me.

unfortunately I think it'll only be a small group like us, that recognize Hank as a genius. (Probably noone more so than Aric )

the more and more I think about the circumstances surrounding the end of Hank's life it makes me very sad. I can only hope that when I have a career and some money I could help great jazz musicians like him get off the street if they are in need of serious help. I may go pull disc 5 from the Mosaic in a bit and listen.

yes, SS1, its that percussive way of playing that Ray Crawford developed in the Ahmad Jamal trio.

Randy, you look like Paul Wertico in your portrait seriously, your face reminds me of Wertico.

wow, great story.... kind of bittersweet too. What went on at those jam sessions after the One Night With Blue Note concert?

sweet, a Tony Williams set! w00t!

Birdland and Bohemia for me. With the Bohemia discs getting the slight edge.

what a great name for another herbie-album! Hard as a cock! ← the new single from "Hard As A Cock", "Han on my Cock" featuring Akinyele! (somebody BETTER get that reference!
