  1. One of my very favorite Adderley works.
  2. I reallylike the three smaller Prestige sets that Fantasy put out right before they sold out (in every sense) to Concord, and settled on those and sold the big 16-CD set. So no need for this, which appears to be selling for about $70. I also really liked the Miles Davis Prestige Classic Quintet box and the Bill Evans Village Vanguard box they did, and wish they could have finished those catalogs with similar corresponding boxes. Concord certainly won't.
  3. Do yourself a favor, buy this version, typically great BGO mastering, and save yourself tons of $. This will run you about $$15 for the two-CD set.
  4. So sorry. I just finished working through the big ECM AEC box, which heightened my appreciation of him/them even more. Giants.
  5. If Stephen Stills was dead, he'd turn over in his grave (unless he's getting royalties for it, of course).
  6. Starts when you're always afraid. Step out of line, the man comes and takes you away.
  7. The Hoffman Forum, where every issue of every recording ever is a rare and valuable collector's item...
  8. Then I stand corrected, thanks.
  9. There is a boot order set into the bios of the machine, telling it what order of sources to try to boot from. They tend to default to external drives first, the reason being that if your hard drive crashes or becomes infected, the machine can be recovered from an external boot disc.
  10. Yes, it may be initially trying to boot from that external drive, which of course ain't gonna work.
  11. Lloyd McNeill was/is another renaissance man, award-winning photographer, college professor, painter who studied with Picasso, and flautist/composer who made some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard, especially "Aisha". I have the ESP-Disk Watts, would love to hear the Savoy. Surprised it never made it to CD. I owned that Savoy 'New Music: Second Wave' set on vinyl in a previous lifetime, but don't remember much about it.
  12. It got handled, Organissimo board style. Something for everyone, those who made the connection (I did, and thought it was very funny), and those who didn't. All good.
  13. What operating system? How much free disk space? How much memory, what processor? Is it a really old machine? If an old OS, do you defrag the machine? Does it run slow after it comes up?
  14. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for letting me know. "Deep craziness" (in the good sense) is a fine description of Mr. Sangrey
  15. And the shame is that Fantasy started doing some really interesting historical boxes just before they sold out to Concord.
  16. And a poor one at that. Don't even list personnel.
  17. Concord wants to save those recordings for possible inclusion in their upcoming 34-minute "Gene Ammons Plays for Lovers" special Valentine's day release.

    Herbie Hancock

    "Journey To Enlightenment" and "Let This Melody Ring On" are in the same vein as "Black Love", and even better albums. Carpe Diem while they are still available.

    The Carlos Garnett "Journey To Enlightenment" and "Let This Melody Ring On" are wonderful albums, but vocal-heavy, and not pure jazz. 4 or 5 stars each. for sure, for those who are willing to open their barriers. "Cosmos Nucleus" is more generic, and 3 stars. The Connors "Slewfoot" album also isn't pure jazz and isn't really a good album, but contains one of my all-time favorite cuts (regardless of genre), the definitive reading of Carlos Garnett's awesome "Mother of the Future" with a great Jean Carne vocal.
  20. A set of the Max Roach Quartet 1970's Horo/Denon/Victor/Baystate recordings would be awesome.
  21. Me too. It's pretty great all around.
