Laton your hotlink didn't work , so here is the cover : The 33 1/3 version came out under this cover : I like this one quite a bit . The writing is interesting ( three Teddy Charles tunes ) , the solos by Hawes and Shihab in particular , are fine , and the sound quality is excellent . The OJC CD has tracks 4 & 5 reversed however . Edit to fix dead image link .

I'm sorry, but how recently did she purchase this house?? -- and just how big is this house??? Six bedrooms according to this article . Can't imagine why she needs that much space . I'm guessing that's the 1000 sq. ft. bungalow near her principal residence that she currently has up for sale for $ 325,000 . Had she planned better she wouldn't have had to rely on the beneficence of others to save her principal residence , for she could have extracted some of the equity she no doubt has in that second house . According to this article , she refinanced just last year , no doubt as you surmise , in an effort to monetize some of the outsized home equity gains occasioned by the real estate bubble . Looks like another prime example of the kind of lending practices that won't be seen for a generation , now that (lending) predator has become prey .

1,000 Jazz Covers
Chas replied to brownie's topic in Jazz In Print - Periodicals, Books, Newspapers, etc...
My concern is not so much the non-original covers , as it is the duplication of covers that have already appeared in various jazz cover art books over the years . Instead of Blue Note and Impulse covers and the like , I was hoping the book would showcase smaller label covers and 10-inch and 7-inch covers . I've been thinking of starting a thread devoted to 10-inch covers , and may do so if the Taschen book turns out to be deficient in that area . -
Problem is , real ( i.e. inflation-adjusted ) wages have been falling for years , so people don't have their own money and must borrow to consume . However , they can only keep borrowing if the assets they pledge as collateral are constantly rising in value , hence the current efforts in Congress and at the Federal Reserve to make sure people's most important asset , their home , doesn't deflate too much further .

Missed this note five years ago. Was this LP a compilation of sorts? Would like to hear it (naturally). http://microgroove.jp/mercury/MGW60002.shtml I wonder if The Jazz School actually came out on EmArcy at all . The Paul Bley Wing ( recommended ! ) , which is the number right before The Jazz School , only exists on Wing AFAIK .

This credit bust has the potential to be the most disruptive in history , as credit expansion has been supercharged by the securitization of financial obligations . Those who hail debt securitization as the latest laudatory financial innovation believe that it results in risk being more broadly distributed to those who can best assess and bear that risk , but the actual incentive structure of securitization results not only in the creation of more risk , but in that risk being systematically re-priced lower , with the result being more systemic risk rather than less . “The rule is that financial operations do not lend themselves to innovation. … The world of finance hails the invention of the wheel over and over again, often in a slightly more unstable version. All financial innovation involves, in one form or another, the creation of debt secured in greater or lesser adequacy by real assets. … All crises have involved debt that, in one fashion or another, has become dangerously out of scale in relation to the underlying means of payment.”- John Kenneth Galbraith

This one is not only an album cover showing other album covers , but an album cover showing its own cover

The fact that this anti-cover-art thread has been derailed into yet another cover-art thread tells you all you need to know It's fun, and it's not malicious to anyone. To me, the sport of it is in finding the most off the wall covers that still fit into the category. Compared to some of the other threads we have here, I view the cover series as harmless. :tup

You could have saved a lot of typing by just quoting Balzac's " Behind every great fortune there is a crime " . If you can't be cogent , you can at least be pithy

Thom , I'd suggest you re-do the downloadable files so that the song titles aren't visible !

This is a thread about those albums in our collections that we feel contain only one good track , albeit one good enough to keep us from freeing up shelf space by eighty-sixing the album . So , this is not to be a listing of favorite tracks , but rather an inventory of albums that you pull out , listen to the one good track , then re-file . Such an exercise may be of some utility in this age of à la carte downloading . To kick things off , my first one-track pony is Dave Pike's The Doors of Perception . After a pretty inconsequential , commercial , debut effort for Atlantic ( Jazz for the Jet Set ) , Pike recorded this over-produced musical farrago for Atlantic's Vortex subsidiary .The album is a mess really , veering as it does from psych-jazz experimentalism to poppy soul-jazz to more traditional jazz forms in such a way as to leave the listener wondering what these particular tracks are doing sharing space on the same album - the album is all seams . Although there are seven unissued tracks from the recording that produced the album , whether or not a more cohesive , unified album could have been constructed from them will likely remain unknown , given that those tracks are presumably victims of Atlantic's infamous vault fire . Of course lack of cohesion itself isn't what makes this album a one-track pony for me , but rather , that four of the album's five tracks simply don't reach me in any way ( whether or not they are good exemplars of their respective stylistic niches I wouldn't venture to say ) . However , the fifth and album-closing track , Anticipation , is something special . Its bright , lilting melody propelled along with an infectious swing as the solo baton is passed around from Pike to Konitz to Daniels to Friedman to Israels . The continuity of swing in the performance aided in no small measure by some very hip drumming by the only no-name in the band , Arnie Wise . Me , I like to swing , so this is the only track that gets me moving and the only track I listen to . Happily , it's also the longest track on the album . I will add to this thread as I uncover more one-track ponies . Don't think I've too many , but perhaps enough so that one day I'll put together a decent odds and sods compilation and clear up some shelf space for albums with less chaff .

This music should have been part of a Bill Russo Mosaic set , but better it comes out piecemeal than not at all .
