I'm not a fan of Crouch's, but some of us need to calm down.

Good info. on Nichols in Sudhalter's book, Lost Chords.

And I thought he directed Leaving Las Vegas, but that was Mike Figgis. Anyway the movie was great. Fantastic ensemble acting. Wonderful direction (IMHO). I understand the Magnolia comparison (except snow falls out of the sky, instead of frogs), but my enjoyment was not compromised.

Farmer / Golson Eldridge next

I just bought the (relatively) new Rudresh Mahanthappa CD. Expectations are high.

I'm going to see it Saturday. "Buzz" pre-release has been good.

Maybe so, but he did O.K. with Henry Grimes & Wilbur Ware(IMHO, of course).

Yes, it's worth picking up. There may be some discussion about the legitimacy of its sale in the U.S.. BTW, these were not Hutcherson-led sessions.

Anybody use wireless / satellite?

Copies are available at half.com & amazon. Lowest price seems to be around $8 + shipping.

Good point - I believe.

Published by the Lyons Press. I buy most of my books from http://www.booksamillion.com

Red with anger? Green with envy??? A Christmas thing???I am confused by the color reference, but it may be because I haven't been to sleep yet! It's a New Mexico joke. Much of the food there is served w/chili "gravy", and the question is always "red or green/", as in what kind of chili do you want on your food. I always go green myself - red is supposed to be spicier (but isn't, always), but green's got the FLAYVA! Or you can indeed have it "Christmas" & get both.

Yes, the state. Ford, Fromm, & Offutt are all represented. Offutt, of course, wrote The Same River Twice (among others) & is apparently now living in Iowa City. Lots of others including Ralph Beer, Tom McGuane, William Kittredge, Rick Bass, Claire Davis, Debra Magpie Earling, etc..

Just finished Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. Just started The Best Of Montana's Short Fiction.

At least she made it to the Land Of Enchantment.

I haven't been able to find it anyplace, & I've looked.

you're not kidding, I'm waiting to see what the Clusone Trio stuff goes for, two up there now, two more on their way. Might the Braxton Basel Hat Art make an appearance at some future date?? (Actually hatOLOGY, but you know what I mean.)

Based on this auction, I'm pulling out my copy of Marmalade King & playing it today. Thanks.

Bought it directly from the publisher. Gorgeous book indeed.

I enjoyed it. Thought that both leads (Penn & Kidman) were excellent.

Great service. Personal e-mails. Not so great prices, so I only buy things from them that I can't find anywhere else.

I'm confused - but what's new about that. I have a 4 CD set called The Original Chet Baker & Gerry Mulligan Quartet : "Complete Recordings" (Definitive 44409) which has 12 cuts with Lee Konitz in a quintet with Baker & Mulligan & 8 cuts of the Tentette on CD #4. The other 3 CDs are all Mulligan / Baker Quartet with a few cuts by a Mulligan Trio & a few cuts with a Mulligan / Baker Quartet with Jimmy Rowles & no drummer. Everything is described as being from Pacific Jazz, Fantasy & GNP. Without debating the legitimacy of this set (if possible), how does it compare with the 2 sets being discussed above in this thread???

Name dropper. Smilies to follow. How can the rest of us peons get a copy?? B-)

CD Universe supposedly still has the 23 Standards Set.
