Love him on the "First Encounter" album with Mal Waldron. So in need of a CD issue.

This kid talks more than I do, and in longer sentences. He only knows song names of what he likes, can't tell you the artists.

When he's 18.

My two year old grandson asked me this morning to play Hank Mobley's "No Room For Squares" for him! Have been trying playing him different types of music, played that one a few weeks ago, and obviously it stuck! He also likes the Kind of Blue version of "So What" (asks for it from time to time), and, in the non-jazz universe he likes and has asked for the Go-Go's "We Got The Beat" (his all-time favorite), Strawberry Alarm Clock "Tomorrow", Buckinghams "Susan", Sister Sledge "We Are Family", A Taste of Honey's "Boogie Oogie Oogie", and Harry Belafonte's "Banana Boat Song". And the one I will need to forgive my wife for introducing, Nilsson's "Coconut".

+1. And would have been a more cohesive set than the Bee Hive set.

Thanks! From the repertoire, appears to be a pickup group, but quite a fine one! And it's not like Danny Moore and Albert Dailey small group dates grow on trees!

In for the CD pending acceptable fidelity.

I'd LOVE to hear those! I also liked his later albums where he was the clear leader - the ones where he "collaborated" with Tyner and Onishi leave me a little cold, the whole equaling a good bit less than the sum of the parts.

Buzzed through, will be awhile before I can listen to the whole thing. Every cut sounds like a winner, more engaging to for my tastes than Dan's. He is a great guy, and we get common enjoyment over how different our tastes are! Thanks Joe, look forward to discovering this one in depth.

"How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all" might, also...

Well, we've drifted a ways from "do youse guys still buy CD's"!

She's no fun, she fell right over. Wait a minute...didn't I say that on the other side of the record?

OAC series has been inactive for a couple years. WEA's OAS series has been inactive for even longer. There were still lots of viable packages that could be done for both.

The individual albums came out on low-cost CD's. I got them all for under $5 each. Amazon has three of the four for $7.98 with free Prime Shipping (Waiting on the Electrician, How Can You Be in Two Places, I Think We're All Bozos). Only Don't Crush That Dwarf is pricey, and that one is cheap on importcds.com and on discogs. Or you can get Shoes for Industry, a 153-minute 2-CD "best of" (includes the entire 28 minute Nick Danger), for under $10. There's a lot of cheap used copies of all of these cd's around on ebay and discogs. The most essential one is "How Can You Be In Two Places at Once", but all have moments of brilliance.

Not always. I find downloads to be grossly overpriced in many situations, and can often find a used CD for less than the cost of a download of the same music.

The ones I bought from the website like 15-20 years ago sound legit to me, not like needle drops.

I like the fact that it a CD is an object I can hold, collect, display, organize, look at. I like the artwork and often the liner notes and other info. I like that CD's are a commodity, I can resell them if I don't want to keep them, helping defray the cost of chance-taking and of upgrading/downgrading to a different set of the same music. I like that I can "own" a CD, a file doesn't feel the same. I also prefer physical books to ebooks/pdf's for some of the same reason, plus they are more enjoyable to read for me. I am totally willing to accept that mine are subjective preferences and that there are benefits to the downloads/ebooks.

When I have listed CD's for sale here, members have made it well worth my time, plus it's a joy to interact with others on the exchanges (unlike ebay, etc.).

And Amazon is not for small sellers, really nasty terms as far as fees and length of listing. I sold one CD on there, said "never again". Have not tried selling on Discogs, haven't had the time. I go through seasons where I sell on ebay, when time permits, and do OK there, but haven't sold on there in six months. I find available time to be the biggest barrier to selling CD's and vinyl. Suspect it will be a good retirement activity for me if I ever actually get to retire.

Same here, CD's only. I own one download - the Hannibal Marvin Peterson album on MPS.

I still buy them, filling in gaps. 50s to 70s are my eras of interest.

Yes, great set!
