Yes, you are right. The fourth disc, which have the two long jams, are quite different. I'm wondering too how much his car accident and subsequent increase in drugs shaped the later sound as well.

Yes, there is something new in his playing during this period. However, after a first listen to the box set, I hear things that remind me of his playing in the 50's and 60's. I forget which of the sidemen said it, but he said that Miles was not playing that much different than before, but in a new context.

Look for the poetry book as well, which is part of that series. Borges is one of my favorite authors.

Actually, you need it NOW!!!! Hearing the unedited cuts is something else!

The real question is, will Blue Note be around next year? Lots of cut backs in the music biz it seems.

This version by Monteux (remember, he was the conductor who premiered the work) is great:

If you don't want to cherry pick (J.A.W. has a nice list there), go for the complete cycle, the Jochum as shown or the Tinter on Naxos are excellent.

My favorite:

This is interesting. If its not from the master tapes, can an artist legally sell burns of his own music from OOP lps made by a record company?

I noticed. So maybe no On the Corner on that site?

Odean Pope trio at Twins Jazz in Washington DC. This is my fourth time seeing him, in trio and in the Saxophone Choir group. He was inspired last night, partly in memory of the passing away of Max Roach and Randy Brecker, but also because of his rhythm section - Craig McIyver and Christian McBride's father (his name escapes me), who is a FANTASTIC musician.

Oh HELL no........................................

I've been enjoying this series, even though a lot has appeared on many previous box sets, but this is definitive: http://www.hip-oselect.com/scr.public.prod...DF-6329EFE4A506

Better than Benny Carter or Miles.....

Gonna be a heckuva Sunday to watch football for the NFC East. Dallas vs New England. Washington vs Green Bay. Ahhhhhhh, brings back memories......

Probably make the accidental Atlantic fire look like a minor cookout.

I send an email after shipping the item(s), usually the same day or one day after shipping, letting them know I mailed it and thanking them for bidding. As for grading, I am very conservative. Yeah, I do make mistakes, but if anyone has a problem they'll notify me and I'll ask them to ship it back and I refund their money. Thankfully that seldom happens.

Haven't heard this one, but kind of liked the previous efforts. I'm just haven't gotten into the current generation of soul/r & b singers.....

I don't think any of us should be surprised at the delay.

Perhaps - and this is just a guess - when the cd is place in the case it is rubbing against something on the tray. Or yes, it could be the player. You don't play them in the car, do you?

Are you on a Mac? There is a freeware program called Senuti that transfers from the ipod to your computer.

A few questions: Is there an ® under the c in Mosaic? Is there an "ear" in the dead wax? Cause I ain't shelling out the big bucks unless they have those things!

BUY!!! I have them, love the cds!!!!

Can't afford the high ticket items, so the SR 60 works just fine for me.
