Dmitry

I've got to check my appointment book for last August. Sounds about right. Actually, it could've been recorded at the New School.

Big Wheel, thanks for the Chinatown bus tip. I'm going to use it in a couple of weeks. Paul Motian> Joe Lovano> are at the Village Vanguard this week Bill Frisell> I'm thinking of going tomorrow night.

I saw it. Wait for ithe video, unless you're a huge Dylan fan. It completely falls apart at the end. Last 30 minutes were almost painful to watch.

Mother Theresa had a purpose in life. So does Rooster - hooking up others with Art Deco.

Dmitry, do you remember if there was a young trombone player named Dion Tucker in the band? Nope, don't think he was there. Shim played last week [with Rosewoman again] in some place in Upstate NY.

If you got Doin' The Thing, you probably got the best. I love that disc.

IF they're trying to sell the company, it's in their best interests not to have any outstanding liens against them, no matter how small. It doesn't look good to the buyers, who would be kinda hesitant to pick up the seller's liabilities. If I were you, I'd get a move on this. Real quick.

Time to give Hiroshi Tanno a call.

Title track is thew worst cut on the album,imo. The rest is not too bad. Morganized, if you can pick it up cheap, pick it up. I would. And did.

I gave it an abridged spin at the Virgin yesterday, at one of their cd scanner hubs[a great thing, btw. you can play almost every US-released cd to get a taste before buying]. I know, it's sometimes impossible to deduct a real value of an album from 5 minutes at the listening station, but Sustain didn't grab me. reading these posts, especially the mention of similarity between Sustain and Miles electric work makes me curious to check it out again.

Stink can be made. Contact the Better Business Bureau of the State where they're located as well as the Department of Consumer Afffairs and alert them. Send them a certified letter return receipt requested, with a letter explaining your beef. A lawyer-friend would help you out. It would be even better if it were sent on his stationary. I have a feeling you'll get your money back 100% !

Young Men From Memphis - Down Home Reunion, the uncommon Mono pressing[white promo label, to boot.] Cover is a bit shot, but the wax is almost NM-. Stereo and mono versions feature some different takes. It's a United vinyl. BN should definitely reissue it domestically. It's available as a tocj, but I don't know if they included both mono and stereo takes. This music is just asking to be reissued.

No Helen Merrill?

Nailed it today. Couldn't sneak into the city by myself; wife came along to do shoe shopping. Anyway, nailed it at the Tower. Thanks for the confirmation. A one-man show almost 100%. Rhythm section was solid, if not pedestrian for the most part, but Stitt made as good a concert recording as any other I have. What a professional! I don't even know which cut is my favorite. Time to play it again. Excellent disc. Now I want volume 1.

I read somewhere that John Stubblefield is Baby Face's distant relation.

A naive question - is this oop? I don't have many Stitt cds and was eyeing this one at the Tower the other day. I don't suppose so, but is there a Japanese version?

Duly grabbed it. It definitely should've been billed as a communal effort, not just Hutcherson's disc. In a nut-shell - It's a fantastic cd!

What time is it in Tokyo now?

I thought I had it on one of those ugly 70s BN un-released sessions LPs, but it appears I do not. Of course you're right. I'll stop by after work today.

Saw this one sealed for $14 at a local used cd establishment. Your thoughts?

After buying a cd-r with a xeroxed piece of paper instead of a booklet from them[$18], I think Parallactic and I will coexist in galaxies far far away from each other...

I didn't know Parallactic's pressing plant was located in Tikrit.

It's not Jazz. Japanese space-trance-vocal kinda thing. I had a tape dub, but time has swallowed it. I see that Amazon is selling it for almost $50, which is obviously not gonna happen. Willing to trade for something of interest to you. Domo arigato in advance!
