That will be a future edition to my collection as well...

A judge has the two opposing attorneys approach the bench at the start of a civil suit. The judge tells them, "Gentlemen, I have an envelope with $1000 from the plaintiff's attorney and another envelope with $1500 from the defense attorney. I am returning $500 to the defense attorney and I wlll decide the case on its merits."

I spent part of my career in outside sales so I knew not to make any assumptions about the name of the company being the owner’s name. Back in the 1980s there was an electrical contractor company named W.C. Teas. The guy who ran it said he used to have a secretary who would respond to phone requests for Mr. Teas with, “I’m sorry, Mr. Teas left for the cemetery and isn’t expected back. Could someone else help you?”

Love it! That sure beats the pastor in this story: A man in a pastor's congregation cam up to him after the service and told him, "That was one hell of a sermon, pastor!" The pastor replied, "Thank you for your compliment, but I wish you wouldn't use such language." The church member explained, "But pastor, it was such a hell of a good sermon, that I put a $100 bill in the collection plate!" The pastor responded, "The hell you did!"

I ordered the Black & White set as soon as I saw the email.

Dave Brubeck and Charles Mingus both appear in the English film All Night Long, along with John Dankworth, Tubby Hayes, Alan Ganley and others.

I want to say Sorcerer was around 1979 or 1980. I will have to check my dvd.

Count Basie and his Orchestra in Blazing Saddles. Gerry Mulligan as Judy Holiday’s blind date in Bells Are Ringing.

I learned of this after a well known artist whom I had interviewed several times asked me about it. I raised hell with the editor about it. The reply of "You give too many 4-4.5 star reviews" caused me to respond that I didn't pitch many mediocre albums for review at that point in my writing career, i was getting serviced with a lot of excellent CDs. In my view, 3 stars out of 5 is either average or has some issues.

I finally found a copy of this DVD set a few months ago but haven’t gotten around to watching it, I had heard how much better it was than the oddly titled remake “Sorcerer.”

After reading a description of this album, I'll pass. I haven't cared for much of what music was released by Perception.

There was a woman in a small town who was a horrible gossip. She saw that a workman who took his wheelbarrow back and forth to work would leave it for extended periods outside of a bar for hours after work and proceded to share her gossip about it with everyone. After word got back to the worker, he took his wheelbarrow to her house and left it there overnight.

I thought liner notes was one of the jazz categories dropped, though I haven't paid much attention to them since they quit including them in the broadcast. A well deserved win! Just curious, is anybody on this board an active NARAS member? I'm eligible to join, but have never pursued it.

Denny Zeitlin turns 84 years young next Sunday, April 10, 2022. The program includes selections from his early recordings for Columbia, to other trio and solo dates, both studio and live.

Here's a link to my archived broadcast of Benny Green's music, which includes recordings ranging from early in his career in the late 1980s to the present. There are also sideman tracks with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, the Ray Brown Trio and his meeting with Oscar Peterson. https://archive.org/details/timeless-jazz-4-3-2022-benny-green

Nahhhhh…

Clark Terry could have done anything.

I knew going in that I would only get paid once, though some reviews made it into the Jazz volumes 3 & 4 and maybe a few of the rock and blues made it to print as well, I would have to check. Not to mention the number of times I've seen them posted on other websites that licensed them. I ran across one review that had evidently been translated into Portugese, then back into English that wasn't close to what I had written. It was an interesting outlet, though the randomness of what they would or wouldn't assign for review made little sense. Ignore the star ratings, as at least one editor decided to lower them, in spite of a glowing review. On a 1 to 5 scale, 3 means that the release is either average or has some issues. I told that editor at that point that I didn't bother pitching reviews of mediocre CDs.

I fixed the duplicate link and added the missing one.

I have found that true as well. I've bought a few LPs graded VG+ or VG that skipped in numerous spots, even after cleaning, I've always had no problem getting a full refund (including shipping). As a rule, I try not to list anything that I don't believe to be playable, but I know that high volume sellers don't have the time to do much more than superficial grading at a glance.

I can’t say I have had any issues as a buyer on Discogs, other than occasional oversight of a promo stamp, hole punch or clipped booklet. I have had a few problems as a Discogs seller, like a guy who claimed he didn’t mean to make an offer on a $150 LP set or a crook who claimed two different orders had scuffed LPs. I blocked both of them and added to my seller page that all unsealed LPs and jackets are photographed prior to packing.

I got a book with tracking once that was not only not addressed to me, but not anyone on our street or in our subdivision m. I put it back in my box and hope it made it to its destination.

If you paid with PayPal put in a claim, if you used a credit card, do that if PayPal fails. As a Discogs seller I always copy and paste the buyer’s address to make the label and include the address with the packing slip. I haven’t had any packages lost, though one padded envelope was returned to me torn open and empty after 2 months in the mail. At that point I started requiring insurance on all orders.
