  1. wow, that number tops the infamous 20,000+ '89 gig in Montreal I believe.
  2. If Sony/Legacy are taking this attitude towards this Brookmeyer releases why are they not having the same attitude towards the upcoming reissues of the Blakey, Silver, Woody Shaw and Gerry Mulligan material? Names like Shaw and Mulligan I am not sure if casual fans would know their names outside of hardcore fans like ourselves. Just a thought. Also Sony reissued single discs of Miles in Europe, Berlin and Tokyo which in my mind are albums more for seasoned veterans, than casual fans, but I guess b/c its Miles, it will sell.
  3. Earl Klugh "Living Inside Your Love" is a guilty pleasure for me b/c I grew up on it as a kid.
  4. I believe this is the same mastering as the '01 reissue, it sounds the same from what I remember before I gave the single disc to a friend. As far as disc 1, it says the mastering is 24 bit super bit mapped (just an indicator this one sounds good to me, I'm not an audiophile equipment wise) by Mark Wilder, Sony studios, NY
  5. I love the second disc. I bought the new set for my birthday. Great packaging too
  6. I sort of agree Allen, b/c the electric Miles was stuff he was doing that piqued his ear from other cats, just putting his signature on it.
  7. I saw the program last month on our local PBS affiliate. I'm just glad jazz is on TV, I thought it was entertaining. Hendricks had the spirit, but man is his voice shot now.
  8. Teo Resolution, Pursuance (Live) Oleo (Jazz At the Plaza) Ah Leu Cha (Miles @ Newport '58) Round About Midnight
  9. I would think MC and Blue Note would snap up this opportunity to record Hill b/c he has had an incredible legacy with the label. I also see with Jason Moran on the label a sort of master(Hill) and disciple deal.
  10. Bertrand, Death Row? you have to be kidding me right?

    Favorite "Comper"?

    Herbie no contest. Let's open this to organists. Jimmy Smith
  12. GoM great show, although Ben Dixon is a drummer not organist. Just thought you'd like to know in case listeners dig Dixon, but can't find a Ben Dixon on organ
  13. would Lovano's mouthpiece be a classical one? I remember in highschool a guy who was getting teaching experience in the music dept said Joe Henderson had used a classical mouthpiece.
  14. cool, I will buy these when I can
  15. I may be the only one here but from checking out only a couple of Lovano records like "From The Soul" and "Trio Fascination Edition One", (which I borrowed from the library) and his appearance on Branford's "The Dark Keys" that to my ear I hear a Joe Henderson influence in his tone, I think its the roundness. Also, from what I understand his tenor is made of wood, so it has an excuse me, woodier sound I guess you can say.
  16. I've been eyeing these as they have gotten some great reviews on places like AAJ. I really enjoy Miller's work with Art Blakey on "Live at Kimballs" and Tony Williams "Tokyo Live" so any props for these two Mulgrew Miller releases around here?
  17. ahh, interesting.
  18. thanks for the tip mjzee, but I think I'll stick with "Living", its just a nice little break from having a collection like most of us of just burning stuff. Is Steve Gadd on that "Magic" album? I guess thats another reason why I picked up "Living Inside Your Love" again, for those Gadd grooves.
  19. thanks a lot Chuck
  20. thanks GoM!
  21. I got this today, b/c its an album I always liked on vinyl as a kid. I don't like any other Earl Klugh records, but this one has grit and substance for me on tunes like "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", "Captain Caribe" and I think "Another Time, Another Place" is a very pretty tune. Any other ppl like this album from the horrible era of Blue Note? would I be into "Earl Klugh" or is this enough?
  22. Michael Brecker is one of my fav. tenor players next to Wayne, I'm shocked b/c I don't think of him as old either. His first record and his performances on Pat Metheny's"80/81" are terrific, especially "Every Day (I Thank You)"
  23. JazzKat, I'm referring to the term used when by the jazz press when cats like Terence, Wynton, Branford, Carl Allen, then later Christian McBride, Hargrove, Nicolas Payton, Josh Redman came onto the scene in the early- mid '80's and 90's. Though early on in their careers they were part of the so called "neobop" movement in which largely the jumping off point for their music was Miles mid 60's quintet, their conceptions have expanded over the years. Wasn't the "young lions" tag used to describe players like Wynton Kelly, PC, and Lee Morgan in the late fifties, early sixties?
