Jhumpa Lahiri: The Lowland

Me too.

Yep - great book.

And the Louis Smith too!!

Jefferson Airplane: Surrealistic Pillow Fairport Convention: Unhalfbricking Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt, Leonard Cohen - several by each, can't pick just one

Moondance is a favorite of mine - but I doubt that I'll buy this.

I don't know about wishing she would play with more subtlety but i get what you mean, and i definitely reached a saturation point. I had this to say earlier in the thread: I think it's fair to say that she currently has one of the most distinctive and instantly recogniseable sounds on the planet. It's kind of a double edged sword for me as a listener. It's a weird thing, as i do consider myself to be a big fan of hers, and her leader dates have been must haves for me. On a long enough time line a hugely distinctive sound can be in danger of coming off as self parody, although that will always be in the ear of the behearer... Expanding on what mjazzg said about Illusionary Sea, i think she is a bit more subtle on the new record, feels a bit less in your face, certainly compared to Saturn Sings (i noticed this progression on Bending Bridges too, sounded a bit less self conscious although i know i'm projecting like crazy here). I've been looking out for the latest drop from clean feed... weirdly slightly relieved, budget wise, that there's no 'must haves' (for me) there. 287 looks interesting.

Agreed. I know, I know - but Leroy Vinnegar & Shelly Manne ain't bad.

For some reason My Fair Lady & Li'l Abner bring out nostalgic feelings & work for me.

ASC Trio

Intrigued for sure.

I was there in July. Saw the Heath Brothers.

Yes it is available as part of Roscoe's L-R-G / The Maze / S II Examples. It was originally a 2 lp set now fitting on one disc. The music might not be in your "wheel house". L-R-G is 37 minute trio for woodwinds (Roscoe), high brass (Leo Smith) and low brass (George Lewis). The Maze is a 21 minute octet for all kinds of percussion. S II Examples is a 17 minute exploration of multi-phonics on the curved soprano saxophone. I like the Roscoe, but I have to play it when my wife's not home. I'm in for the Sullivan. Not sure about the Russell / Tyler for the 2 bonus tracks. I have the Chief issue too.

I agree. I keep them.

Is it long enough??

Finally got around to Breaking Bad - watching season 1 on DVD.

Garner: Concert By The Sea

Bob Shacochis: The Woman Who Lost Her Soul

Glad to hear that. I have it. Haven't played it yet. Moved it to the top of the pile.

Steve Earle

On my "short list".

Packers 19 - Ravens 17 I'm pleased.

Mulligan / Baker Qt.

They're playing here on Oct. 20. Planning to go.

I ordered the new 8 CD Parker Aum Fidelity set. Hope it's as good as it should be.
