Unfortunately, Universal owns very few (if any) of these. Who "owns" them???

I've seen him live within the last year. He was fine.

I don't have any major quarrel with recent statements in this thread. Early Shepp was undeniable. However - I wouldn't dismiss the Venus CDs. There is a poignancy in the playing that I find moving. Admittedly the "technique" isn't there anymore - ? like latter day Billie Holiday??

I have this. Pretty pricey, but I enjoy it.

The Ramon Morris is very nice too.

Craig Johnson: Death Without Company

Sara Gran: Dope (For all of you Chandler / Thompson fans)

Brewers (maybe) back on track. Won last 2 against Detroit, Cordero up to 24 saves.

I'd disagree with you there. I really enjoy ALL the Cadets. MG MG is right. Signifyin' (e.g.) is really good.

As usual, Sal is correct.

Like Henry Grimes. Remember the old Verve Trio / Brass album? BTW, I'm seeing Rollins as part of the New Mexico Jazz Festival on July 29. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Chu Berry

Brewers really struggling - BUT still 5 1/2 games ahead in their (admittedly) weak division.

The Jarrett (which I have) often goes for over $100.

What - you don't think that's high enough? Seriously, I have that box & wouldn't sell it for less than that. At this point don't want to sell it at all.

Good one!!

I'm finishing up the second disc right now, but believe me, Coventry and Birmingham are getting added to my list tonight! They're all great. For some reason Birmingham is my favorite.

Damn right!! That Jones / Lovano duo CD is great (IMHO).

I agree.

I used to feel that way. For some inexplicable reason, I don't feel that way currently. I really enjoy the Mosaic. I also recently picked up a Japanese reissue of The Hard Swing which smokes. Ammons / Stitt CDs do it for me too.

I like those too. Groovin' Blues is my favorite.

Good going felser. I love that set.

Wonder what happened to the Shepp / Roach duets reissue.

Right you are. Lots of fugues, if you will, in the MJQ's work. I mean that in a good way.
