Thanks Clem. Good points. I do own & enjoy the Brotzmann Okka 3CD Octet / Tentet set. It just feels to me that some of the solo & duo stuff reminds me of Borbetomagus that I could never sit through. Joe Maneri probably deserves more time from me. Microtonal is a "concept" that probably doesn't reward casual listening.

We're going to make this recipe. Sounds great.

Venus doesn't usually do reissues. I hope this McPherson is new material.

More fuel for the fire. I don't care for Joe Maneri, & less & less for Brotzmann (who I find very repetitive). That may just be me. Fred Anderson, Von Freeman, Roscoe Mitchell, Tony Malaby (get the Pavone CD:Orange) - yep Vandermark I still like. To each his own.

The Charles McPherson on Venus leaps out at me here.

1.5 liter bottle of Bombay Sapphire gin. Put it right in the freezer.

Plays fine in the 10 CD changer in my wife's car. "Skips" on my Sony CD player in the house.

Brookmeyer Select

Excellent choices above. Others: Jarrett, Peacock, Dejohnette Dave Douglas & everybody Monk & Rouse Mingus & Dannie Richmond

I got a Japanese issue of a Great Jazz Trio CD from ejazzlines in a couple of days. On the other hand I've been waiting over a month for a Japanese Roland Hanna CD. They've been apologetic, but I wonder if the CD will ever show up. I don't know the other site.

Classic!

Looks like a larger role coming up for Steve Buscemi. That would be good.

Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.

Read about a new trumpet player (at least to me) named Dominick Farinacci. Searched around & bought Manhattan Dreams with Mulgrew Miller, Chip Jackson & Joe Farnsworth. Pricey Japanese CD. Hopefully it'll be good. Also bought an Ernie Krivda CD (CIMP 293) that he's on.

I'm hooked too, Harold Z.

I like it. You will too.

Thanks. Everyday's a great day here in the Land Of Enchantment.

Liberty Ellman: Tactiles (PI Recordings) I've been up & down on Adam Rogers. I like his work on David Binney: South.

Dusty Groove has Here We Come.

I agree with JSngry. I'd rather buy new stuff that I don't already own. I'll upgrade only if I sell older versions.

Miles / Gil is the best. The Henderson is fine. I also really like The Jazz Soul Of Porgy & Bess. This is a big band led by Bill Potts with soloists like Al Cohn, Zoot Sims, Gene Quill, Bill Evans, Phil Woods, Art Farmer, Jimmy Cleveland, etc..

I'm not a Bix completist so the 4 CD JSP set is just fine for me.

You are correct sir - i.e. you're the only "crumedgon" (of course IMHO).

My all time favorite Hawkins is The High and Mighty Hawk.

Directed (at least the first episode) by Walter Hill. All of you guys without cable or a dish don't get to see The Sopranos or Six Feet Under or The Wire(hope that comes back) either.
