I haven't been to it, though i will before the summer comes along. I have had co owrkers who have seen it before it opened, and they said it will take a couple of days to digest everything. It's that extensive a renovation. And the layout of the permanent collection is all new -- so you might be wandering around a bit, trying to orient yourself. But you should have a good time.

It isn't Jimmy Smith's greatest achievment, but I have always liked the Peter and the Wolf album. I just keep going back to it when I want to listen to his music and I find it enjoyable. Nothing more, nothing less. But for grease it is either Prayer Meeting or Back at the Chicken Shack.

The Scorpio lps are a mixed bag. The Vanguard reissues sound great -- some latin jazz stuff sound shallow, but in a few cases it sounds like the mastering was from another lp.

It is definitely the weak dollar. Most of my ebay sellings go straight to Europe or Japan.

I listed items on Sunday and no problems. I do have to upload some images tonight though. Are the pics you are loading jpegs, or ?

Their Taiyo Yudens are just as good (made by klone as well) -- offered on the same site.

An amp, a cd player, or both?

I've never had a problem with them. Good service.

I'd be careful with a site like this. It could be a way for them to grab personal info, especially your credit card number. If it is too good to be true............

Hold on, I thought they were also going to be reissued in the States by a US label? $30 is too much, even for these titles.

1. You could go to Radio Shack and get one of those "Y" connectors that go from the mike output to the left right inputs of the Bose. 2. How big is your hard drive storage space? 40 is okay, but you will need to get more storage space. 3 & 4. Belt clip? Sleeve for the ipod? Check out ipodlounge for reviews of all those products.

I work in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, as an "exhibits specialist," meaning I work on production and design of all the exhibitions in the museum. Been there for 10 years (!!!!), but I am now looking at what else I can do in the world......

Yes, found it on Jazzmatazz.

Preordered. That and the Art Pepper. I may be poor, but I will have these guys lifting my spirits......

What be this? Various Artists - Detroit Jazz Before Motown, 1945-53 (Uptown) Aug 1 — rare and previously unissued recordings featuring Wardell Gray, Barry Harris, Tommy Flanagan, Kenny Burrell, Willie Anderson and others; compiled by Jim Gallert and Lars Bjorn, authors of Before Motown: A History of Jazz in Detroit, 1920-1960 (University of Michigan Press)

Listened to this one last night. A complete knockout!

Between that and Lift Every Voice.

I always thought the 45s had the sound boosted, to give it that punch. Also the mastering for the 45s were different, and superior -- isn't that a reason why certain audiophile companies did 1/2 spped and 45 rpm masterings of certain lps?

patricia, It's getting harder and harder to find good old jazz for a $1 a piece, even at yard sales. However I live in the DC area, so it is really dog eat dog when it comes to estate sales and such. Everybody has a connection........ which is why I no longer bother with yard sales. S

Dave Burns - both Vanguard lps Wagner - Ring Cycle (music for mad artists and dreary winter weather!)

1995. My friend Michael H (who used to frequent the old BNBB), told me about the Sam Rivers set, as I was really a big fan of his music (and still am). Got it, liked it, and kept on going. I was lucky to snag the Freddie Redd, Tina Brooks and Don Cherry sets, as they were OOP, from people who just didn't care for the sets. This was done on the internet just before ebay came around.

Alfie is an incredible record. I am also with those who recommend the Bridge and Meets Coleman Hawkins.

I love the snow. I love it even more that I live in a condo deep in the heart of DC. Unfortunately, I had to run up to my family's place in the 'burbs and shovel the @#$%!! driveway one final time, before they move down to Williamsburg. This driveway is 1/4 mile long. #$@%%^!!!!!

Late last week I ordered both the Jimmy Smith Blue Note retrospective box and the Miles Davis Seven Steps box. Given the holiday on Monday, and the inauguration on Thursday, which interrupted the mail flow because I live near the capitol building, I received both sets yesterday. No BMG markings in the bar code or anything -- great!

Hey Matt, congratulations! Tell me how the ol station is doing -- I was a dee jay there back in the early 90's. I have been to the new student union building, and they are located in the basement there. Is it still free form or have the ethereal/experimental junkies taken over?
