Brady Udall: The Lonely Polygamist

True Blood: Season One

Art Farmer: Modern Art

These have been discussed in the movie thread. I liked both of them. Looking forward to the next 2 in the Salander saga. I've read all 3 books.

Giacomo Gates Sunday afternoon.

Nick Stone: Mr. Clarinet

I've seen worse lists. I don't care for Kurt Elling, so would have preferred Giacomo Gates.

I'm happy to stick with the Mosaic box.

Great book. Also try Motherless Brooklyn.

Yes - I have the Jackson too. Excellent! I'll get the Bishop too once it surfaces.

I would probably keep East Broadway, Way Out West and Sonny Meets Hawk if it came down to it. For some reason, he's clicked very little on record for me, though ironically some of the players he's influenced I hold in high esteem (Monterose, Shepp, etc.). Guess I could think of a dozen more titles I'd keep: On Impulse! Plus Four Vol. I II Newk's Time Village Vanguard Contemporary Leaders Freedom Suite Worktime Tour de Force What's New Our Man in Jazz Saxophone Colossus

Dave Alvin & The Guilty Women

I can't find it at a "reasonable" price either.

I pre-ordered the Moran too. Also bought Samantha Crain's new CD for $2.98 + shipping.

have you checked out 80/81? Some incredible blowing from Pat, Mike Brecker and Dewey Redman. "Every Day (I Thank You)" is one of Pat's best tunes melodically and harmonically. You really shouldn't ask me though b/c I own just about everything Pat has recorded as a leader . Can't wait to see him live in October on the "Orchestrion" tour. Granted I'm a big fan of Pat in certain doses (Song X--which is still the most facile translation of Ornette's phrasing to the guitar anyone has ever done--the trio with Haden and Higgins), I got 80/81 in the midst of a big Dewey Redman binge and found myself kind of perplexed at the completely unironic smooth jazz flourishes in Metheny's writing and playing. It's completely not my bag, but I wholeheartedly respect and, in some perverse way, support Metheny's reluctance to go down any clearly defined, conventionally "tasteful" career path. "Song X", the Twientieth Anniversary is a revelation, both sonically and musically. I think Pat is supporting Ornette on that album much in the same way that Don Cherry did with the parallel lines. Pat is doing some crazy things with Ornette's music using the Orchestrion. Song X is just fine & the only Metheny I still listen to.

Somebody should buy the Clusone 3 CD.

A 3rd vote "for" Pat Metheny.

Season finale of Justified.

Just started it too!!

Hot!!

I like all of those Gryce Prest. / NJ records.

I probably have enough Jamal (for me). OTOH, the Carter / Bradford is on my list. Obviously, too bad they couldn't get the 2 Flying Dutchman LPs.

Those are 2 good ones. Keep going.

Peter Guralnick: Dream Boogie

In the past you could designate that your shipments arrive as "no signature required". I don't know if you can still do that.
