saw them at the mjf in july, gave plenty of time to his band members; did 2 50 minute sets plus encore with the second set being 60-70 percent solo of his own work; he was charming, engaging, tried out his french, the audience ate it up and he fed off it, he sounded tired (ill?) in his monologue to the audience, but his playing was top notch, fresh, vibrant, no sign of any failing health...one of the highlights of the festival; one thing, don"t expect a coltranesque type of set; its tyner in control, alot of his own work which was refreshing; it was my pleasure to hear him....if you have never heard him......a statement plato could easily answer, if you have to ask don't go

emailed you regarding the capitol sessions, couldn't get the pm function to work, tks

sony essential classics (if they still exist), Eugene Ormandy, Philadelphia Orchestra, Rutgers University Choir 1960

RIP GREY; my condolenscences elizaBETH to you and your family; stunned, shocked, can't begin to describe my feelings; oddly, ken once asked what I did at mcgill, I'm sure he was well looked after in kingston---life is unfair at times fc

Personally, for that size room, a yba 2 amp/preamp or integre, warmth, soundstage--very.very non fatiguing; speakers and source is difficult, JMJAB match well, yba very revealing,repectively, but you want sacd, not sure. perhaps other folks can be of help...don't buy retail. audiogon, canuck audio mart etc...offer great deals to echo shrugs, at least 40%-60% off retail; most of this stuff is readilly available in the US---you should have a listen especially for source and speakers and then go to the web to buy fc

patience, it took +/- three weeks for seven box sets to arrive-have faith fc
