Appearances can be deceiving. SV's quality is a coin toss, imho, that's why I stay away from their reissues. I don't know about the Nick Drake in particular, but here's the opinion of someone who does -

Original UAJS 15002 Cover - a couple of seam splits, front and back clean, VG+ Vinyl - surface marks, some surface noise, no skips, VG $7 +$2 shipping checks/money orders

Where you at? Yesterday's haul - Art Blakey - Three Blind Mice Ten Years After - Ssssh Donald Byrd-I'm Trying To Get Home Mandrill-We Are One Jethro Tull-Heavy Horses Whitecage, Morganstern, Perry Robinson-Licorice Factory Paul Desmond-Desmond Blue Louis Armstrong-Ambassador Satch Lionel Hampton Malibu Beach 1951 on Coronet All originals, some played well, most vg+,nm-. 20 bucks.

It could be some actor, I guess. Photo is definitely professionally done and hand-colored. Something tells me brownie might know. He has a good eye for photography.

I see a lot of people were influenced by their fathers. My dad played trombone in a big band for 30 years, but I never was really into jazz as much as rock. When I was 28 my girlfriend was listening to Stan Getz, Sarah Vaughan, Kenny Burrell, Clifford Brown, some Blue Note stuff. After a month or two of lurking I joined the Blue Note board in July of 99 and was reading what guys like Lon and Kevin[remember him?] and Morgan Fanatic and other were discussing. At that time I was beginning my painful journey into hi-fi and just put together my first decent stereo set-up. So we went to Tower and got some new rvgs and connoisseurs, Sidewinder, Life Time [didn't go well at the time], Ike Quebec's Bossa Nova Soul Samba. She had a very good taste and ear for music. Someone I was seeing a few months later used to date a well-known New York bass player, so we went to clubs a lot. She was a bohemian and a bit of a jazz groupie, not as much a lover of music, but she also happened to have some good cds, so I continued to grow musically.

Guys, the green jacket hint was 100% unintentional. I have no idea who the subject is...

Anyone have any clue as to the identity of the owner of the green jacket?

$30 million in sales means how much profit? 5-7 million? 10? $80 million is way too much for this company, imo. $18-20 million sounds right. Maybe $25 million. I wonder if they're selling the real estate as well. Land is probably worth a lot in Berkely.

December 9, 1991 Gil Melle's Mindscapes

No blindfold needed for this one - didn't know/guess any of the cuts aside from Mulligan. The rest was mui esotheric for me.

Bill Evans

Movie's pretty good, but I want to touch upon something else. Dex looked really frail. He looked like he lost a foot of height and a hundred pounds. And he was thin and bony. That's why at first I hesitated for a second whether it was him. He died on April 25, 1990. Film was released December 20, 1990, 8 months after his passing. These must have been his last days and this footage is perhaps the last footage of Dexter Gordon.

Just caught it after about 10 years since I saw it last. Gordon played a Parkinsons patient in a two or three scenes. I had no idea...

That's odd--I thought I heard one of them say that she didn't write the song. Which is correct, of course. But I was in the car at the time, just half-listening... Rubin DID say that Flack "didn't write it, but recorded it", so you heard right, Ghost. They replayed the interview a couple of hours ago here on WNYC.

Dimitry, Close, but have never seen that cover? My little scrawl was an o'madge to my moniker-sake saul bass. I went for a cheap reproduction instead of the real thing. Should've known better...

WOW

Boy, this guy just can't quit...

70s were so much fun, dammit. What happened? ...

I'll be in Moscow this week and the only Jazz concert that looks remotely interesting is the WDR Big Band from Germany. I have never heard of it, do you guys know what kind of music to expect? On the positive note - caviar is REAL CHEAP there.

Town with a name like that has got to be nice for writing a good novel. I, otoh, will be in Moscow next week. They're predicting blizzards every single day. Want to stop by, Danya?

Do I get bonus points for pinning the souce of your logo?

1.--- 2.--- 3. Sonny Criss ? 4.--- 5. Gerry Mulligan 6. Duke ? 7. I know this … I know I do. It’s Bobby on vibes 100% 8. --- 9.--- 10.--- Kurt Elling? Naah. 11. --- 12. --- 13.--- 14.--- 15.--- 16. --- 17. --- 18. Sounds like Miles from the Elevator to the Scaffold 19.--- 20. ---

This is some scary s@#t.
