I owned both of these recordings as LPs, but wanted to upgrade to digital. In Berlin was only issued in Europe on LP.

Here is a complete set list, including the quartet set preceding the octet: St. Louis Blues The Crossing All My Love Porque No?

If anyone is interested, I have the Dave Brubeck Octet (recreated for the 2001 Chicago Jazz Festival) broadcast, featuring an original member with dave, Bill Smith. Van Kriedt's charts were presumed lost and had to be recreated from recordings for the concert. Fortunately there are no annoying announcers talking over the music, as the Montreux-Detroit broadcast was notorious for doing at the top of the hour, no matter how famous the artist/band on stage was.

Out June 14.

I have an extensive bluegrass collection, including a lot of Tony Rice. I got to see him twice with Norman Blake, though it was after his voice turned gravelly. He was a fine singer and he died too young. How many bluegrass instrumentalists record something like "Nardis," very few, I would bet.

It's funny how this thread went from rock to bluegrass, though the recordings cited are terrific, especially the Tony Rice Unit.

How not to attend a bond hearing... The judge's reaction to the defendant's answer is priceless. https://www.foxnews.com/us/michigan-judge-astonished-how-man-shows-up-virtual-hearing-driving-suspended-license-charge

I would rather listen to any of Grant Green’s recordings made for Alfred Lion than the post-Lion funk made after Blue Note was sold.

I remember a cartoon featuring two centaurs waiting out a thunderstorm in a cave with one saying, “Ain’t a fit night out for man and/or beast…”

Good riddance to an Eric Gregg clone whose strike zone was twice the width of his fat ass.

I used to own that DVD set but I sold it. The writing went downhill as the series progressed and the musicians in the bar scenes tended to be more anonymous players than the early episodes. Perhaps the oddest change was the replacement of the opening sequence and theme music with a silly shot of a wide-eyed Johnny Staccato running around the empty streets and shooting his gun.

What a great looking cat... Our black cat Brubeck has always been indoors but has been a little more reserved than the others we have had over the past three plus decades. Tonight he hissed and ran after the youngest cat toppled a couch cushion onto him and he generally stays put in one corner chair, though I do catch him on the couch at times in the afternoon with some of the others.

I had a cat back at our Florida home when was away at college. I brought home a John Coltrane Village Vanguard recording and discovered later that our cat had opened the kitchen sliding glass door, which was easy for him any time it was unlocked. After looking in the usual places, I came out to the living room and found him on the couch, all tucked under, as if he was meditating to Coltrane's music. Somewhere around I think I still have a Polaroid photo that I took of him on the couch when it happened.

A mediocre World War Il film with issues. One character announces himself on the radio as Major General Bradley while wearing a helmet with four stars. Later Eric Roberts plays a Navy lieutenant giving a rousing speech to his men while a fifty star American flag is in the background. I guess all the budget was spent on the computer-generated battle scenes.

I have been going through a huge stack of boxes of unheard CDs and found this 2019 release that I overlooked. It's a real gem with a number of works by great bassists, many of them not widely known.

When I visit someone's house, I like to look over their LP/CD collection, not at what they have in digital files on a computer. I enjoy reading and re-reading liner notes, having the details handy as to the musicians and their instruments, composers & lyricists, etc. It is also much easier producing my radio show with physical media. Anyone is welcome to collect music as they wish, but as HutchFan can attest, as I can with his library, it's more fun to peruse a friend's physical music collection, especially when a random search of the shelves turns up a recording you've never heard or maybe didn't even know existed. Download offers from publicists and artists are routinely rejected if there is a physical version available. I don't want to even think about trying to back up my collection, it would take far too much time due to its size.

These are Amazon listings where there is no warning, that's why I'm surprised. I have no use for them and they are a ripoff when they are charging the same price as a manufactured CD. Usually when I see a jazz CD I've long wanted that I thought was out of print on Amazon and it is listed as new, I am suspicious.

I will continue to return these mislabeled releases and report them as such.

He died January 1, 2020, at the age of 90. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/larsedo01.shtml Of course, Ghost of Miles was citing the perfect game by David Cone on Yogi Berra Day in 1999, so Don Larsen was very much alive then.

What a scream!

I think it had to more with what they were playing, not like the sound technicians didn't make adjustments during their set. They stunk all on their own.

I need to learn to open CDs from Amazon promptly, as occasionally I've found that I've been sold a damned CDR. While some people have said that manufactured CDs have sometimes showed signs of digital rot and no longer play, I've never had that happen in 40 years of collecting CDs. However, I have had several CDRs that have failed completely. Are there particular labels that only sell CDRs now? I know that is the case with Acrobat, but my recent discovery was two recent releases from Mark O'Connor's OMAC label. Please share any labels you've encountered that have taken this money-saving shortcut without informing buyers prior to purchase.

I can't say that I ever enjoyed listening to David Sanborn, but what I mainly heard was his Warner Bros. recordings, which were of zero interest to me. I remember his solo as a guest on Gordon Goodwin's arrangement of the monotonous Average White Band hit "Pickin' Up the Pieces" and singling it out as the one weak track on the CD. I do have that Legends of Jazz boxed set where he plays on a show along side Phil Woods and the anonymous liner note writer mentions Sanborn to be "considered as one of the great saxophonists of all time," while Woods easily eclipsed Sanborn's best efforts. I never did tune into Night though it sounds like I missed a few shows that would have been of interest.
