Sam Baker: Cotton Michael Musillami trio + 3 (on Playscape)

Not sure how "cheap" - but Jazz Loft.

Billy Wallace 80th birthday band (includes Noel Jewkes & Randy Sandke)

My CD copy is a Japanese issue - VICJ-2227. Said to be 20bitK2. Came out in 1997. Sounds O.K. to me.

I've always liked the music from I Want To Live & Peter Gunn. Is that what you mean??

Yes indeed!

Yes, I was going to post that Josh Berman's "Old Idea" belongs on the Best of 2009 list. Very fine indeed, great CD Another enthusiastic for Josh Berman!!!!! And the other new Delmark, Renegades by Nicole Mitchell's Black Earth Strings is also impressive. Apropos of this "Chicago" leaning, I like the Mike Reed led CDs I've heard this year.

Mose Allison

Jack Kerouac: On The Road - 50th Anniversary Edition (took me a while to get to it)

I liked the movie FWIW.

buffalo rib-eye steaks rum cake with blueberry sauce for dessert wine to be selected

Among others, someone should IMMEDIATELY buy the Clusone 3 CDS & the Ellington: Side By Side.

Allen Toussaint: The Bright Mississippi

Carlos Fuentes: The Death Of Artemio Cruz

I miss the Captain.

Yes - several times. No problems.

I presume it's O.K to say that you're not fond of the music of Boney James & Dave Koz. It's the way you say it that's the issue. Is that correct???

Best wishes, Lon!!

Wax Poetics #36

O.K. - now that we're all "making nice", I don't care for the "music" of Boney James & Dave Koz. If you want to help women in jazz, write about Ingrid Jensen, Matana Roberts, Anat Cohen, etc., etc..

Ordered & SHIPPED from Jazz Loft.

Craig Johnson: Another Man's Moccasins

Roach / Shepp: The Long March (Hat reissue from Jazz Loft - finally). Now we'll see how long it takes to arrive in my mailbox.

Braxton:GTM 2006 (4 CD set on Important Records)

I should have used a smiley. Thanks.
