Great choice & great price.

$1.54

I like Bernstein & Allen's Armstrong CD.

McLean Redd Mobley

Her segment in the Jazz On A Summer Afternoon film is excellent.

Zadie Smith : On Beauty

Both of the Loose Assembly CDs are excellent IMHO. I also suggest People Places & Things: Proliferation on 482. Mike Reed is the "leader" on all 3.

I bought it too + the 2 new Mike Reed CDs on 482. First CDs I've purchased in months - since the economic meltdown.

It seems to be on back order with all the usual suspects. A little hard to find, for some reason. I'd love to listen to that one. Appears to be in stock at CD Baby.

Great CD. Irabagon recently won a saxophone contest which includes a recording deal with Concord. He'll scare the crap out of them. Might be fun. The group has a newer CD which is a "take" on Ornette's This Is Our Music. Haven't heard it, but I'd like to.

MJQ version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. I know that's only one song, but it's the best I could come up with.

I like it! /Shaft Another . Not essential Rouse or bossa nova for that matter, but very enjoyable. I agree.

Late to the party, but I don't care for 27th Man. Stylings Of Silver - now that's a great album!! (IMHO)

Bobby Shew

That's a nice list. Not meant to chastise, but a lot of those could have been purchased when the Mosaic boxes were in print. Maybe you weren't collecting then.

Anybody heard Jamie Baum? I think she's pretty good. BTW, has James Newton recorded anything recently???

I'm not a big Ramsey Lewis fan either, but I have a Japanese mini-CD reissue of this album & enjoy it a lot. YMMV.

He's excellent on a fine Dave Douglas Quartet CD (DIW 934) called Moving Portraits (which may be OOP). Rest of group is James Genus & Billy Hart.

Buy the Curtis Amy Mosaic Select & you'll get Katanga(& a lot of other fine music).

I saw this "show" live fairly recently & hated it. Repetitious, "altered" sax sounds - just total crap IMHO.

Kent Meyers: The Work Of Wolves

Miguel Zenon Quartet

AFAIK the publishers are already sending out review copies. F "Already" - it's only been in the works since 2002. When can us peons get a copy??? So? Stanley Crouch started working on his Bird bio in 1981. :rsmile: F True enough, but a publication date has never been announced for the Bird. On the other hand, the publication date of the Twardzik book has been announced over & over.

Wise guy - I guess.
