Stefan Wood

Stefan Wood is a Redskins fan. Yeah, that was pathetic. They need to learn how to play like a team who is expected to win. Portis still runs for 100+ yards, Cooley is great, but the keys were the freak fumble at the half, and the 40+ long pass in the 4th quarter, Torrence should not have been one on one with the receiver.

It's an excellent album, with Shelly Manne playing a wide variety of percussion instruments.

Has this ever been reissued?

Don't want it; don't need it. Money is better spent on the OP Mosaic or the Braxton Mosaic.

HELL YEAH!!!!! No one, not even the fans in DC thought they could go 4-1 at this point in the season. Amazing! Their defense is being overlooked, and Campbell is playing smart. Go Skins!

I thought it was a zombie film.

I came across two of the United Artists lps and they were overpriced, especially in the condition they were in. I have almost all the Capitols lps.....

Every game in that division will be a dogfight. The best teams in the NFL right now reside in the NFC East. I still think the Cowboys will be SB favs by playoff time. Everyone's overlooking the Skins defense. Played flat? The running game was shut down and the big plays were kept to a minimum. Campbell is playing really well right now -- no INTS!

Listened to the first disc, the live date from 1964. Sound is pretty good, the music is great -- it's hard to compare, even with the "New Wave" that was happening in the US at the time. What's interesting is that the live date is the only disc that is from the 60's -- everything else is 70's or later. I had been expecting a lot of early material. Liner notes have a lot of appreciations and some historical notes. though I wish there were more -- more history of South African jazz, and how these guys figured into it. But it does explain how they got together and their move from South Africa to Europe. Can't wait to hear the other discs!

Received my set today.

Skins aren't overrated..............yet! Finally, some positive stuff from Campbell!

They could break it up. They did that for Johnny Hodges on Verve.

This rocks the house, and is well worth the $30+ for this double disc set:

Holy moley! Yet.... this will be expensive!!

It's about paying rent in NYC. I did order the box through Hazel -- support the source, like Chuck. Checked Dusty Groove, and they don't seem like they will get theirs until October!!!!!

Upon This Rock and Canned Funk are great. WHy his albums weren't all reissued is beyond me.

I am offering a bunch of lps for auction on ebay. Thanks! Stefan's auction stuff

Don't jump on me. How much did DMG pay for their copies? We don't know.

I came across this cd while shopping this morning (in the midst of the hurricane, not too bright!). It's on Drive Archive, came out in 1995. Personnel includes: Chuck Mangione, Frank Mitchell, Keith Jarrett, and Reggie Workman. Recorded between January 1-9, 1966. Six tracks, all fairly long, including Buttercorn Lady, Recuerdo, The Theme, Between Races, My Romance, Secret Love. The sound quality is a solid B -- slightly muffled, but you can hear everyone quite well. Listening to this in the car, I was stuck by the very strong playing and tightness amongst the players. It wasn't commercial like the Limelight material, nor unfocused as the 60's were coming to an end. Mangione's playing in the 70's is what it is, but damn, he was a burning hard bop trumpet player! and Frank Mitchell was equally firey on this cd. They really stretch out on the tunes, almost at times sounding avant like the Impulse "New Wave" of that time. I'm curious if there were other recorded efforts by this lineupt.

In all fairness, DMG has a hell of a monthly rent to cough up. Buying direct from the source will always be cheaper.

Still waiting for it to show up on DG............. I guess that's the only way we can order it here in the US?

I'm a Skins fan, and that was embarrassing! This is a result of so much tinkering over so many years. Good or bad, they have to stick with what they have through the year.

Dubtastic!

Nice!
