Among others Pee Wee Russell, Hampton Hawes, Art Pepper.

No prize fight here. The writing was great.

So would I. Excellent music.

Stefon Harris & Blackout tomorrow night. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Hope the "vocoder" is kept to a minimum.

I think it's a fair price too - especially since I paid $19.80 online (no tax or shipping). My copy has been sent.

Still one of my favorites. Lawyers, Guns & Money; Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner, etc., etc.

Strange title, never heard of the author, not very impressive cover. Therefore it far exceeded my expectations, & I endorse it highly. Compelling writing IMHO. I'm happy a friend suggested that I read it. There's already a sequel of sorts called The Gourmet. BTW, the UK cover is nicer. I don't know how much more I would pay for that, but between the two, that's the one I would opt for. I wouldn't pay more for the cover either, but that one sure is better. I purchased a fairly inexpensive paperback version via Amazon.

I see you're still watching Lon. What keeps drawing you back? As you know, I like the series.

Coltrane: Fearless Leader

Muriel Barbery: The Elegance Of The Hedgehog

I ordered Fearless Leader from the same source on Wed.. Hopefully they had more than 1 copy & mine will arrive soon.

Chris Smither

has been mentioned before, the other two are not much more expansive, e.g., between 14 and 16 at amazon marketplace Yes - I picked up Fearless Leader yesterday for $15.58 + shipping (the usual $2.98).

It's just fine!

$33.42

Orhan Pamuk: Snow

And mine.

So do I. I also often return to the Tiny Bell Trio.

Looks like we all agree. What a novelty.

I agree with that. Interesting to see the varied opinions. In its own way there were times that the MJQ swung just like the Basie band.

I like all 3 of them. So there!!

Probably currently the best series on TV. I respect Lon's objections. However these "issues" don't mar the show for me.

Pentangle: The Time Has Come (1967-1973) - 4 CD set I know - only partly jazz, but really good.

I'm a fan too. Good player.
