Are all those others (that I could care less about) on the CD too?

Thanks to Chalupa for posting that.

I'm with John S. a few posts back.

That's not my feeling (but that's just me). IMHO Douglas has provided numerous "highlights" to my listening over the last several years. Different strokes I guess.

I'm in for the Cohn / Newman / Green & the Ellington. Looking forward.

You should get a finders fee Lon. I just bought it too. Although at $3.08 not sure what the "rebate" would be.

Thanks. Got nice Elmo Hope & Ernie Henry CDs. Kids sent a gift certificate for one of my favorite winerys. All is well.

Elmo Hope: Homecoming Ernie Henry: Presenting Ernie Henry

Got it. Nice. Heard them live recently (with different bass & drums).

Not "the only". Intoducing The Elmo Hope Trio has them together. I have the JRVG.

I have 3 CDs documenting this music. All excellent.

Some story! Might make a great film.

It's a landslide - Newbury it is.

Enjoyed this substatially more than the same song performed live on Letterman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlRF43-xaYc...ted&search= Liked the body language in the video, seemed natural. Still, it is all kind of retro, isn't it? Yeah but - I've listened very carefully to both Amy Winehouse CDs, & I really like both of them.

So am I.

I was watching Letterman last night & there she was. I had never heard or seen her before. She wasn't bad. Not enough to send me out for the CD, but not bad.

I just ordered Lawn Chair Society yesterday. I've seen Werner live in a number of different settings. He's never been less than excellent.

I have absolutely zero interest in seeing this movie.

Beware the wrath of chewy!!

Preaching to the choir. Is there anyone that doesn't like Blue Serge?? Great album.

Wow....that sounds like a cool show! Please post a review if you get the chance. 95 minute single set. Venue sold out (approx. 200). Serious music - tart, rigorous, abstract, intelligent. All original music, only names of 2 songs announced. Repaid close attention, I'd go again.

Preordered the Braxton 9 disc Iridium set from Jazz Loft ($10 coupon expires 3/15 so I pulled the trigger). $102.99 including shipping.

The term "blind spot(s)" is all over this thread, & I was not referring to any one poster in particular. I also am not disrespecting anyone, just disagreeing with some viewpoints. BTW, I believe Africa Brass is just fine but so is / was Martin Williams.

Great stuff if you don't have it (& I didn't, since my vinyl days are long gone).

Lots of bulls**t & pontificating in this thread. FWIW, I started listening to "jazz" 50+ years ago. Williams & others (Hentoff, Max Harrison & yes, Ralph J. Gleason among others) were very helpful in providing guideposts. Anyone remember the original Jazz Review magazine? I also recall that Williams was among the first to "boost" attention to Ornette Coleman. Good enough for me. We all have our "blind spots".
