I've read about this on-line a couple places, but haven't actually heard it yet either. Who's got one??? I'd be currious.

(Another vote for Jeremy Pelt, though I realize that's not what this thread's supposed to be about. )

I couldn't remember, so I looked back through the receipts (which I have left in the boxes, along with the catalog they sent with each order, and any other paperwork and brochures they included). Don Cherry - back in 1994.

955.4!!!!!!!!! B) Can anybody break 1000????

917.7!!!!

710.9 and more blood than the Passion of Christ. --eric 759.0!!!!

Good - glad to see it's already sold. Otherwise, I just realized that I was just doggin' a disc that somebody here was trying to sell or trade, and that sure ain't cool, to be sure. (But now that it's gone, I can say how bad it sucks - all I want to, right?? )

I used to have this one several years ago, and I found it to be a big snooze too. ( Of course, back then, I was totally into Miles circa 1965-1975, and Ornette, and Sun Ra -- and if it didn't smack me upside the head like a two-by-four, then I wasn't having anything of it. So, of course, I traded it. ) Still, I remember it being particularly snoozy, and no where near what I was expecting - considering the line-up. Isn't Wayne on this album?? Herbie too, if I remember right.

Just bumping this up for "Free For All". (I'll send him a PM too.) Joe is gonna get his part of the order figured out today (Thursday). And I need to get the order in by Sunday, at the very latest. Thanks to everyone for all the great suggestions!!! Still not sure what I'm gonna get, but I hope to know better soon - after I really go through their jazz titles, one by one, probably later today and this weekend.

Thank god I bought both of these when they were still in print. In fact, back when I bought the Hill box, I bought it primarily for all the sidemen on it, more than for Hill (who I really didn't know at all, beyond "Point of Departure"). I think it was a good two years before I had listened ever track on the box more than twice, and probably another year or two more before I really got bitten by the "Andrew Hill" bug. Like I said -- damn good thing I bought it when I did, even if I really wasn't ready for it yet, at the time.

I've never bought a CD at Walmart either. Back about 5 years ago, when Best Buy used to actually have a half-way interesting jazz section (with some imports too, even), I certainly bought a bunch of CD's fairly cheap from Best Buy -- but they haven't had much that's interesting in years. So, for about the last 5 years, most of my "new CD" buying (domestic titles) was from a local chain (regional, actually - Streetside Records), until they got bought up by another chain back east, and now their jazz and classical inventory has gone to shit, and they don't get all that many new releases anymore (jazz and classical, I mean -- they do get plenty of new pop, R&B, and rap CD's) Now I'm pretty much stuck buying new things on-line, unless I want to pay the stupid-expensive prices that Barnes & Noble and Borders both charge. So, in short, I mostly used to buy from my local "relatively independent" CD store, until that became no long much of an option.

It's a double-disc, and BOTH discs are about 5-seconds shy of 80-minutes each!!! Damn!!!

Got my check in the mail yesterday -- $13.86!! Could have sworn I signed my wife up too, but no check for her - so maybe I didn't. Maybe it was my parents I signed up (each of them), so I called my Dad last night, to tell him that the junk-mail-looking check he gets in the mail this week, is actually real money. On a semi-related note --- my wife and I went to this marketing bullshit thing about a month ago (on a Friday night), where we watched two half-hour "pilots" for supposed TV shows that were in development (and were they ever bad!!!), but what they really want you to see are their test adverts, and then you fill out this huge marketing survey about products you use, and don't use. Something like 300 people were at this thing, and that night they drew four names out of a hat -- and my wife's name got picked. They said she'd be getting a "valuable prize, worth approximately $50" in the mail -- so keep our eyes out for her "valuable prize". Right, sure, "valuable" my foot. We're thinking that it's gonna be the worst "piece-of-junk" suitcase/duffle-bag, or a couple bottles of $3 perfume ("worth $50 at retail"), or some such bullshit. But no!!! The same day as my CD settlement check arrives, my wife gets a check in the mail from the marketing agency for $50, no strings attached!!! Cool beans!!! B)

Some of you might remember that I love station wagons. I drive a 1992 Honda Accord wagon, and love it. Growing up, my parents almost always owned a station wagon (always blue), and other than a couple years when only owned a 1966 Mustang ( B) ), I've always otherwise owned and driven blue station wagons. So on Saturday, I had just driven through the drive-through ATM, and instead of turning left to go to my next destination, suddenly this vision of vehicular amazingness heads toward me from the left --- and I'm all like DAMN, what the hell is THAT???!!!! Then, as it drives past me, I realize that it's a station wagon, and I'm all like --- HOLY COW, I've GOT to find out what kind of car that is!!!! So of course I turn right (not in the direction I needed to go), and I proceed to follow this mega-cool station wagon for about half-a-mile, where it luckily parked. I roll down my window as I pull up next to it, and ask the driver - "hey man, what year of car that??" - and he says "1973". Me: "That is THE coolest station wagon I think I've ever seen!!". So I get home, and do a Google search on "Volvo wagon 1973", where I find out that it's a "Volvo 1800 ES" (and there were only less than 9,000 ever made) ---- and thus, now, here's a few pictures of some "Volvo 1800 ES" wagons, which I think are just about the coolest thing I've seen on the road in years...

Any and all PN material is representative of the set (including the "highlights" disc). I just meant for people to be a tiny bit cautious if they hadn't heard any of the PN material before.
