I know it's not what we're talking about, but her bass playing is very good (IMO) on the new Lovano CD.

Since we all know what opinions are like, I respectfully disagree.

So am I.

Hannah & Her Sisters is probably my favorite. Friends were in NYC recently & saw him & Soon-Yi out & about. So - there is longevity to their relationship.

Zoot Case works for me. I'm thinking about getting Hi-Ya. Also agree with the earlier comment re: the 2 Spillett CDs.

She's a very good bass player. Her singing, etc. I can do without.

Fluff & filler might be O.K. $140 I'm not so sure.

I don't object to "slow" shipping. I object to listing items you don't have!!

Karen Russell: Swamplandia!

Well I'm glad Green Bay won. The snow & ice removal situations in Dallas are disgraceful. However, 30,000 homes here in New Mexico have been without natural gas for 5 days. Many of these are in areas with below zero temps.. Apparently has something to do with the delivery of natural gas from Texas to the area. So "BOO" for Texas on more than one account.

I left Wisconsin in 2000 but have remained a Packer fan. Feels good to see them win one.

If anyone is teetering, the Mengelberg is excellent IMHO.

My order from Movie Mars wasn't lost. They didn't have the item they listed. It took them a week to figure that out (& only after 3 e-mails from me).

Live at Kerava Jazz Festival (2005) Grimes, Hamid Drake, David Murray - I like this CD. Not sure if it'll answer the "changes" question.

One of my very favorite Mosaic sets. Carpe diem as they say.

Last time I saw him he was playing on a Chris Botti DVD that some neighbors invited us over to watch. Food & wine they served was very good. Music was so-so. At least he must be cashing some checks.

18 below the other night (not wind chill). Moderating today.

Don Juan syndrome - chasing after it is more fun than getting it.

Don't hold your breath. FWIW, I'd buy one.

My order was never shipped. They just didn't have what they listed. It took me badgering them to find that out. At least they've now taken it down from their site.

Took me 3 times to get a copy from Dusty Groove. Kept going out of stock. Finally got it. I like it, particularly the Wayne Shorter contributions.

I'm going to avoid the Amazon marketplace seller Movie Mars. I placed an order with them. It was never shipped. After 7 days & multiple e-mails, the order was canceled. I presume they didn't have what they listed. I hate when that happens.

Received mine in timely fashion.

David Fulmer: Lost River (the 4th Valentin St. Cyr mystery). I hope there'll be a 5th.

CD arrived today. Thanks for the fast shipping.
