A minor point to some, I'm sure, but I'm hoping they're able to program the discs so that Merry Old Soul ends up on a separate disc. I enjoy jazz holiday music but only play it during the season and don't like to mix it with non holiday stuff. I'm one of the few guys who likes to put a bunch of discs in the player and hit random play so if Merry Old Soul ends up on a disc with another session, neither of them will get as much play as if the the holiday music is on separate disc.

Seems to me that in the trio notes, he should have skipped his opening sentence and started with sentence number two. "Ever since he began his career......." The quintet reference doesn't fit at all and seems like he may have forgotten to delete it if perhaps he was using the Finger Poppin notes somehow as a template or as a contrasting piece.

I've had it for about two weeks but I have such a backlog of music to listen to I just got around to it over the past two days. I think this is a phenominal record. One of the best live discs I've heard in a long time. If you have any of his studio quintet albums and like them, you simply have to get this one. An amazing band.

Nice groove on this record. I dig it and would recommend picking it up.

Dexter rules

Well I don't have the disc either so I guess I should have kept my big mouth shut since Tony 's post clears it up.

I guess I wasn't paying attention so that detail slipped by me. That it's the opening line fot a trio record is kind of funny. Also brings up that quality control issue that seems to hound BN.

I took advantage of the bonus day yesterday to bag the Moncur, Weston and Green Selects. Used the discount for the Charlie Parker Dial/Savoy set and a Nancy Wilson/Cannonball Adderley disc.

Welcome Tom - good to see you posting here.

Am I correct that the it is legal to burn copies for your own use only as long as you actually own the original license (CD)? If this is the case then burning copies while you own a CD and selling it back while retaining the copies would be illegal. To openly solicit someone to do something illegal is, well........illegal too, I guess.

FWIW, about a week ago this same guy (JazzRules) posted one of those Brecker is better than Coltrane threads that Conan was so famous for. Kevin B chimed in with an "Is that you Conan" comment. It's him, for better or worse. I was but a bulletin board neophyte and very much the lurker as Jazz Central Station ended its run but I remember that this Conan guy was very opinionated in a hardbop (the person) sort of way. Lots of arguing on threads in which he participated as I recall. He ran amok for some time on the old Jazz On Line board until that one shut down as well.

I once found a copy of Ready For Freddieon my shelves that I never knew I had.

The syrup's baked in, don't ya know.

Holy smokes Lon, you're spot on - there's tons of stuff. Now I just have to figure out if I really want to know that much about myself

Took the test. Looks like I'm an INTP. Now what do I do with this information?

Is this it?

I guess I'd have to go with Gino Vannelli too. I really did that 70s sound of his. I actually saw him live in Buffalo 3 years ago. Great show. Had 2 guys from the band Uzeb with him - Alain Caron and Paul Brochu plus a couple of other French Canadian jazzers. Fabulous show with a real jazzy feel. He also played the Montréal Jazz Festival the year I saw him and this year as well. I had my 2 young boys with me and did not get to go to see either show in Montréal.

No, it arrived. Or maybe invaded.

Well I had the misfortune of reading the thread that inspired this one. I felt like crying when I saw those photos. The brutality was overwhelming. Rooster, I'm 100% in sympathy with your feelings here. I wish that there was a way to wipe the slate clean and start over. Don't worry about who did what to whom, forgive the past transgressions, and move forward for the betterment of all. Regrettably, I don't think it's ever going to be possible. That thread tells me that. The only difference is that the adversaries don't have guns. What a friggin' mess.

Disappointing. The inevitable spillover is occurring. How unfortunate for this board. Actually, I think the board did rather well with politics until June 21, 2003. Not that it matters to most, (though it matters to me), but the board has become less and less of an attraction lately. Less posting, less visits and more time at AAJ, where the root of the problem has not yet taken hold. It's only a matter of time before those masturbatory harangues become part of the scene there. Too bad.

I had my eye on that one as well. I was watching it sit all week at $8 and was hoping for an opportunity. With about 25 minutes left it was still at $41. That put it out of my range.

You're most welcome bluenoter. For the record, I'm always logged in anonymously. Makes it easier to swoop in in stealth-like fashion and interject poignant commentary and/or inject wit and humor and then be gone before one can post - "where the hell did he come from". Now if I only had some poignant commentary and wit - or a sense of humor I'd be the whole package.

Just did it. That's how it's done. There's an options box just below your login info that when checked will not add your name to the active posters list.

Log out. Then log back in again. It should give you the option to be anonymous when you log back in.

Oui, monsieur jazzbo
