Jeez - get a room.

Roy Eldridge

Right. Doesn't seem to be working again.

I guess this should be my next Mosaic. Did you get this recently? What's the numbering up to? (ie how long can I put this off?) MG Mine is #1230. I've had it for several months.

Farmer / Golson

I don't really have a "dog in this fight", but I will say that when Lacy does Monk I've always liked him. I also like School Days with Rudd. Probably some others too, but that's what comes immediately to mind.

Me too.

I saw Wynton in Milwaukee (small world) with Blakey too. He really was playing then. Hard to believe it's almost 25 years ago. I've mostly given up on him in recent times. Going to try once more in Nov. with his group including Walter Blanding & Dan Nimmer (piano).

I bought the Melford yesterday too.

I bought the Chuck Stewart calendar last year & now the 2007 edition.

Oh hell yeah. Great CD which I purchased recently from a board member.

Lots of bitching in this thread. I'll stir the pot by saying that I liked the Vandermark award & suspect (don't know) that he used it well.

I like the new documentary on Leonard Cohen, I'm Your Man.

Thanks Chuck. I'll take a look.

Jane Ira Bloom Quartet playing the music from Chasing Paint. Intense, virtuosic, but humorless.

I have it. It's nice. Not for sale.

I believe Cadence is still stocking Silkheart CDs.

Me too, & I don't upgrade.

Happy New Ears is an excellent CD.

Tomas Eloy Martinez: The Tango Singer

I believe I will. Thanks for the reminder.

No, but this goes near the top of the list for sure. A great disc that is not to be missed is Very Saxy which features Ricky Ford on one disc and Houston Person on the other. I wonder if Plas and Red play together or separately. Where can Very Saxy be purchased?? Thanks.

I think all of the above apart from 'Congo Lament' have previously been out as Conns. They all need to be available again though. The Harold Vick in particular. Not sure 'Congo Lament' has ever been on CD (I have an LP of it with the weird monkey-in-earmuffs jungle scene ). Good music though ! Actually Congo Lament is partially issued on the excellent Bennie Green Mosaic Select (five tracks with Ike & Turrentine on tenor, with Green, Sonny Clark, Milt Hinton & Art Blakey). Cuscuna states in the liners that these sides and three quartet tracks were issued in 1985 as "Easy Living" on BST 84103. I would love to hear those quartet tracks also, described by MC as "among his (Quebec's) finest moments on tape". I have Easy Living on CD - 8 tracks. I don't know if BST 84103 ever was actually released. My CD shows a release date of 1987. Number on the "spine" is CDP 7 46846 2. BTW the music is all excellent.
