$30 to your mail carrier at Christmas time does amazing things for customer satisfaction.

That'd be interesting, if he would. But he didn't.

That would suit it better, I think. Remember Pink Floyd - Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way ? Not imperial British, but squarely English.

Sonics are that good, eh? You've convinced me to pull the purse strings. Anyone compare the cd to the lp? I'm probably going for the cd version.

Chuck Berry said his voice was recorded at slightly higher speed to make him sound younger and more appealing to the youths in the late 1950s.

The last of the Three Sounds.

Is there such a thing? There are English, Scotts, Irish, Cornish, Welsh, etc. I don't know if one can lump them together into a group who love the understatement. Men in skirts, soccer hooligans, Sex Pistols..I dunno.

NOT Workin'?

Preempting the social justice warriors proclaiming your thread title sexist.

Well, there are definitely some artsists I would see, and more that I wouldn't. Surprised to see so many solo piano concerts. Cheaper to book? Still debating whether to go Saturday or Sunday, since it's under an hour's drive from me.

Line-up is announced. http://www.newportjazz.org/lineup

I agree with those that didn't like this article. I didn't care for it in any way, and I didn't learn anything interesting from it aside from the mention of the Ben Webster and Dexter Gordon documentary, which i haven't heard of prior to reading it. Social Justice angle seems to be almost a requirement for any culturally-related article these days.

One more thing I would definitely recommend is taking a 3 hour narrated architecture tour around Manhattan. Afterwards you will have a knowledge of the city and its history that you would not have otherwise dreamed of. Classic Harbor Line is by far the best cruise company to hire. You will circumnavigate the island on a large, beamy mahogany-clad motor yacht, at leisurely speed, and pass under all of the bridges, while an American Institute of Architects certified guide gives you the best perspective on everything you will see around you. https://www.sail-nyc.com/browse-by-theme/architecture/

I just re-read it, almost a dozen years after reading it for the first time. I also re-read this thread. While not nearly as terrible, as some indicate, the book could've been better researched. Many of the BN golden age musicians were still alive when the book was first published 15 years ago. Alas, the author chose not to interview them. The book would serve very well as an introduction to Blue Note, for someone who's just fallen in love with BN. Still waiting for THE book.

Others will recommend some great jazz, no worries. i, for my part, am still under a very-very positive vibe from the current exhibit at the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum, titled "The Jazz Age: American Style In The 1920s". Guaranteed to impress. https://www.cooperhewitt.org/exhibition/opening-soon-the-jazz-age-american-style-in-the-1920s/

It's the diverse character of his work that would make this set a must-have. The period covered is arguably the most interesting one for West Coast jazz. Plus, the unavailability of his Pacific and Revelation records on commercial cds. Who buys cd-r's? Especially if there was a properly documented and properly transferred definitive set of Fisher's 1960s-1970s output.

What the world REALLY need is Clare Fisher - THE COMPLETE PACIFIC JAZZ AND REVELATION RECORDINGS Are you listening, Mosaic?

$30k a month on wine alone...that's $1k per day.

I had, or still have an "original fake" CSA $20 bill [meaning it was counterfit during the bellum years], so I asked a collector about the value of CS currency. Some examples are valuable, most are not, according to that collector. What's your joke?

I think it's mostly because Mosaic customers are older and tend to die fairly often, so the used sets are hitting the market pretty regularly now. If anything, I think the prices will drop some more. I'm just hoping the Chinese will start copying the Japanese, and become the next jazz-crazed nation.

I my memory prerecorded cassettes didn't sound any good. However, you could record on a good cassette deck onto a good tape from vinyl, and get excellent results.
