  1. One reason may be that it's not nearly as good an album. Have always been hugely disappointed in it compared to 'Blackstone Legacy'. Had them both on vinyl back in the day, on CD now. I remember I had to special order 'Blackstone Legacy', pay for it in advance (meaningful $ to me back then), and wait weeks for it to come in.
  2. https://superdeluxeedition.com/news/bob-dylan-fragments-time-out-of-mind-sessions-1996-1997/ My favorite Dylan album of the past 40 years, I'm in for the 2CD set.
  3. Good mid-late 50's hard bop, nothing more, nothing less. Julius Watkins on french horn is the mastermind and the main feature. Charlie Rouse on tenor. I'm glad to have it, but haven't listened in years. 2.5 albums on Dawn, and 2 on Atlantic.
  4. Winnipeg 40
  5. Ok sound quality?
  6. Fascinating subject, but I'm concerned about readability. The writing on the blurb the author submitted for Amazon is painfully bad.

  8. Colin Fenton came to my house a couple times when he had business trips from London to Philly, and LWayne Bognar and I met up a great Maria Schneider concert at the Philly Art Museum. Attended a couple of other Philly Art Museum concerts (Eric Alexander, and some organ trio named Organissimo! - got to greet Jim Alfredson then) along with some other local board members who haven't been active in many years, and they also attended the Maria Schneider concert. I think that's it for my in-person history, though some other members and I have some mutual open invitations (including TTK) floating around which I hope to cash in on some day. Not aware of other currently active board members in my area here. Covid wiped out a chance I had to meet up with some of the guys in the Tampa area (Dan Gould and Gary Gray) a couple years ago, and now I no longer have family down there.
  9. I'm very Christian, yet experience the same thrill from the same works (and just as much or even moreso from Billy Harper). The power of God is beyond our full understanding, yet glimpses of it are revealed to us, and we are all created in his image and share in common grace. Probably not a coincidence that Harper and Coltrane are preacher's kids. Would love to discuss at length offline.
  10. $85 from Walmart online - Thanks Lon!
  11. More info than I could have ever imagined!
  12. Some thoughts on The Piano Choir. Yes, would be nice to hear that third one. The second Strata-East album was actually fairly awful, a huge disappointment (as were so many of the later Strata-East albums after the incredible first rush of releases they had). I always liked the first one, had the 2LP vinyl back in the day, picked up the CD when it came out. Very disappointed that they dropped 36 minutes of the vinyl on the CD (though I'll admit it was the right 36 minutes to drop if they had to drop something). Their complete recordings would make a nice 3CD set for some enterprising company like Corbett vs. Dempsey.
  13. PM sent on Ben Webster – Atmosphere For Lovers And Thieves Jazz Heritage – 512783F $4 Chet Baker / Jim Hall / Hubert Laws -- Studio Trieste CTI Records – KICJ 2573 $6 Dudu Pukwana & Spear -- Flute Music (CDr) CA 2005 $4
  14. I think I remember reading somewhere that Sonny's response to the Schuller article was something like "Really, I did all that? I thought I just played the saxophone."
  15. "Nica's Dream" by The Jazz Messengers is another outstanding extended track from 1956. "Blue 7" is sublime.
  16. I care! Would be glad to pay for shipping.

    T-Shirts

    They look nice, what sizes are available?
  18. Good stuff, very different. What are these badge things?
  19. The second cut sounds really good to me, and even "Black Byrd" is looser than the studio version. I'm in.

    Zappa 1972 box

    Same here, as far as liking some of the shows better. Has always been one of those albums I respect more than I enjoy or play. Also the cut n Santana's 'Welcome' where they collaborate ("Flame-Sky") is, to me, far superior to anything on this album. This one always felt "cold" to me, though it's technically dazzling. Plus the back cover is so creepy. Be sure to read Robert Christgau's short review of this album in his 70's Rock Albums book.
  21. $11.98 on Amazon for the CD, so I'll take the leap.
