Lila Downs is performing a concert here in Dallas in November (at the new Opera House), along with fantastic Spanish vocalist Buika. I'm looking forward to it. That should be a great concert. I have all of the Buika CDs. Have never seen her in person.

Justin Cronin: The Passage

Tex (not so much Mex) are people like Ray Wylie Hubbard, Gurf Morlix, Terri Hendrix. Tex & Mex are the wonderful Sisters Morales. Since Lila Downs (all Mex, no Tex) was mentioned earlier, I'll put in a thumbs up for her new Live In Paris CD. She's great in person & I like all of her CDs.

I agree!!

On backorder until "late 2010". I'd still be patient.

Looking for: Cy Touff: Touff Assignment Sandy Mosse: Relaxin' CD only. Willing to pay reasonable but NOT outrageous prices. I know these are hard to find. Just trying.

True Blood - season 2

Jeez - for $8 somebody should buy this. I have it & like it.

IMHO the Braxton / Tristano is just fine.

I'm a retired M.D. 20-30 minutes unless someone gives you a good reason for a further delay.

I like this CD a lot.

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.
