I wonder what percentage of the catalog's value is attributed to their jazz holdings? I certainly hope that whoever purchases Fantasy is jazz reissue friendly or would be willing to sell off/lease the jazz holdings to someone who is in the event that they may have no interest in doing jazz reissues.

I'm in for 100 bucks. Who's keepin track?

Hey - congratulations Vic. Great to hear from you. Best wishes to your entire family.

Thanks for posting that review. I pre-ordered this disc from CD Universe along with a few others coming out next week but was having second thoughts and was going to cancel. I think I'll give it a shot and see what I think.

At a higher price than Mosaic charged. The list price will certainly be higher. $49.98 is the list price I've seen quoted in the Mosaic brochure. Some list and retail prices of a few Blue Note sets at Cd universe: Herbie Nichols - 3 CD set $53.98 list/ $42.69 retail Getz Roost - 3 CD set $38.98 list/ $34.85 retail Bud Powell - 4 CD set $55.98 list/ $52.98 retail Monk - 4 CD set $55.98 list/ $48.95 retail The pricing and spread between retail and list is all over the place. But if the set lists at $49.98 it seems it would most like retail in the low $40s. The pre-order price through CD Universe, though, could dip below $39. Look at the Dave Brubeck pricing: Dave Brubeck - For All Time - 5 CDs $44.98 list/$31.49 pre-order Personally, I'd rather give my money to directly to Mosaic and do. I just hope that if the pre-order price or perhaps even the retail price is below $39 that people don't flip out.

This board seems to have adopted an unspoken motto that has worked to make it a very pleasant place to post and/or lurk, in spite of the presence of a political forum: What happens in the political forum stays in the political forum

Dan Tried to send a reply but kept getting error messages. I hope they went through. If not, I'll be away from the board for a few days and I'll try to hook up next week. In the meantime, let me know if you got my message. I don't have a lot of faith in the PM system these days.

I don't find it shocking either. Card carrying non Puritan here. I listen to Howard Stern so it takes a lot more than that to raise my eyebrow from a shock standpoint. I just wondered that since the word vagina is so rarely used in this context whether he was trying to been controversial or was some Stern wannabe. I have found that wannabe's often fail in their attempt at being outrageous and come up with material like this guy's handle. I guess the only thing I find shocking about it is how lame I think it is. Perhaps Mr. Vagina would step forward and offer an explanation that might help me understand the meaning. Not that I deserve an explanation mind you, but I am kind of curious how someone could come up with that one. It seems that on a board where both genders are represented one might want to be a little more considerate in their choices. I'm shutting up about it now about this because I seem to be making more of it than it is when I'm really not trying to do that at all. Freedom of speech and all. Plus, the guy has jumped right in and made some decent posts right off the bat and I really don't want to scare him off or insult him more than I have. Yes I made a few remarks but they were intended to be humorous - like the wide open remark you mentioned and my alternate aliases. Perhaps they weren't taken in manner with which they were intended.

Steroids will kill you. Just cork the bat.

or hip boots

Could it be then that you simply hate the saxophone?

Wouldn't you like to be.....my neighbor B)

Oh, and by the way. Welcome to the board. I think you made a poor choice in board aliases but I've been know to make some poor choices myself- just see the recent AAJ thread. Not to say you made a poor choice just because I think you did. It's just my opinion. and I've been known to be wrong. Just see the recent AAJ thread. So welcome saxophone vagina. And sorry 'bout the remarks. You kind of did leave yourself wide open, though. I think in the future I'll just refer to you as s.v. from now on. okay?

Okay, then I'll settle for just plain stupid

Whoah. What's up with the alias?????? I don't object to it because it is obscene or anything. Like conn 500, I think it's just plain stupid. Don't know if you're trying for the Howard Stern in your face shock alias sort of thing but you really missed the boat on this one. I'd change it just so other posters don't think you're a jerk, unless of course you're trying to make the point that you are a jerk. In the meanwhile. I think I'm thinking of changing my alias to "nipple chips" or "butthole trumpeter" Is a poll in order?

Another 323.5 Sorry, don't know how to post the image.

323.5 Sweeeeeet, baby B) and I'm just warmin' up

321.1

I could play that all day. Personal best - 320.5 Most fun I've had in hours.

Holy smokes! Victor How've you been? I missed this thread earlier and just tried to email you but got an error message. I did a search and saw that you've posted recently. Why don't you come around more often. Your contributions have been missed.

What must not be working is the email notification. I generally don't check PMs unless I get the email notification. I gotta run now, but I'll get back to you. Ed

Won't stop me. I'm not chilled--though maybe shaken and stirred Some of you guys are getting too serious and melodramatic, methinks. Sure it is. This stuff all looks so petty and funny if you step back from it for a minute: everyone staking out their tiny corner of Internet turf and worrying what's being implied or said or not said about "their" board at another and so on. If you don't like a forum, just say, "Screw it" and quit visiting. Easy as pie. If enough people on the Net want to talk about jazz somewhere, they'll find a way. Witness the birth of this forum after the demise of the BNBB. This all smacks of kids arguing in the sandbox. I'll grant you that in the grand scheme of things - if you want to reduce participation in a jazz board to the pixels on a screen argument - yes it all looks rather silly. But for me, participation in a jazz board is way more than that. First at Blue Note, then here and yes even at AAJ, I have invested a lot of time, energy, thought, emotion. I've learned a lot, passed on some information, really enjoyed myself and the comeraderie that has developed. Those things are very very real to me and are worth speaking out about when needed. It seems that whenever somethings like this develops there are always those like yourself who take the high brow pixels on a screen position. Very scientific, detached - stop visiting, easy as pie sort of approach. I don't necessarily adhere to that philosophy I guess we'll have to agree to disagree
