Now we must know Trane's real name, in case he decides to sell the now deflowered booklets. How perverse! I have mine cryogenically frozen. Didn't ya know polycarbonate discs will dematerialize to a cloud of dust when defrosted? What are you saying? You mean you actually play yours?!

I wonder if it makes you epeestrophy...

Looks like you've been shafted, Trane. You should definitely contact Mosaic or better yet the Stamford Police Department, Division of Boxed Set Surveilance. Ask for detective Chewy Chew. He'll set ya straight, kid.

The most memorable gig I remember catching there was John Hicks Curtis Lundy Bobby Watson Valery Ponomarev I forgot who the drummer was that night. May have been Cecil Brooks, but I'm not sure. Took some photos with T-Max, might have the films somewhere to double-check...

Lenox Lounge is in Harlem, as you well know. Club's client list is mostly local black people in their 50s-60s, at least that's how it was when I used to go there. It is not really dangerous; if you leave your 10-gallon hat and "Texans for Bush" t-shirt in your hotel room you should be fine. Subway stop is right near, but Lenox Avenue is famous for breakdowns...

Bwahahahahaaaa

Maybe because there's not much to show in the bosom department?

Not bad. Not bad. How about "I Got an Alaskan Beaver Blues" ?

It pops up on eBay now and then. What's your take on it, perhaps comparing to his Contemporary Lps?

I know, it's too early for Christmas music, but would buying this cd somehow get one laid? Does anyone know if the booklet contains a frontal shot of the same pose? Ho, ho, the camel-toe...

Gay porn is out; after 17 years I'm still getting a hang of the American vernacular....

Tall Boy Horn...?! Gay porn, anyone? Back in the single days I used to tell the ladies my name was Inigo Montoya...

I think the Universal Mosaics will be worth less than the "real" Mosaics to collectors, once these sets start going oop. Mere fact that you can waltz into a retail establishment in Paris or Geneve and buy a set, as opposed to ordering from the Mosaic site...

Has anyone compared the sonics on the Mosaic set as opposed to the cd set? I missed the Mosaic by a nose when it went oop...

I hope the doctors don't cut off your gambit by accident.

Just read this. You are too nice a guy, Dave. Fire these assholes and call your credit card company right away to cancel the charge. I think you're being ripped off. I'm only 60 miles away, can come over and help you load a UHaul.

DOT hauled them off the road for stayin up late?! Who would believe such horse shit?! Sounds like the guy who we hired to pave the patio. Seemed like his whole family was slowly being wiped off the Earth by one calamity after another, preventing him from staring on the job at our house. I fired him, of course, Ebola virus notwithstanding. You have to come to an understanding that you're dealing with thieves and liars. I wouldn't believe a word your movers say. Be careful!

Yeah, man, they're just building up the excitement...judging from the fact the The Giant was released over 5 years ago, the demand for the release of The Source has been overwhelming.

Because selling two is twice as many sold? So why did they only release one in the "Jazz in Paris" series then?

Thank you for the info! Why didn't they release the whole thing on cd in one package then?! Oh, well...

Right on, Rooster. I was going to mention Ron Carter next to NHOP, but decided to stay with NHOP for the sake of the fact that fans like Ron Carter a lot more than NHOP and I didn't want to get side-tracked. Carter is definitely another prime example of that bass amp gone berzerk.

So the bass amp is like a steroid for bassists - it compensates for their inadequacies... Why not learn how to play a bass guitar and be done with it?!

Both, I guess. I understand a concert in the park situation, but why does one need to amplify a bass in a club that fits 20 people [and that's on a busy night]...? What about in a recording studio situation? Were the classic Blue Note bass players amplified? I don't think so. Mr. PC sounds loud and clear and the timbre is just to die for. I'm feeling better now!

I must come clean - I seriously dislike the sound of an amplified acoustic bass. The player who has the worst amplified bass sound is NHOP. He sounds like someone pulling on a rubber band from an old pair of underpants. He's the worst example, but it's not just him; the sound of the amplified bass gives me a serious agida... This needs to be discussed!!!!
