There's a "private recording" of a New Year's eve gig tha Princes did, & Miles sits in...Prince kids him by saying "Aren't you up past your bedtime, Miles?" Miles brought nothing particularly profound to the ocasion, but Prince uses the entire evening to play a bunch of "party band" staples about as well as they've ever been played by damn near anybody. The tape is worth it for that. That's what I'm talking of! It's pretty good indeed - and I'd enjoy to hear some more of it, maybe even with better Miles... his solo fits in well into that party groove, but that's about it.

You wouldn't want more, would you? No way! Just wondered if I missed something else... I'd be happy about more than that one Miles solo with Prince, though!

So Sting's the policeman on the MD album with the most ridiculous of all covers, then? That's all?

Yes, that "Flamingo" MP3 is pretty lame! I've got "Stan Getz & the Cool Sounds" on CD so it's not a biggie, but still...

Well, what difference does it make? They certainly know now!!! Ah well - the recent gaffe in the Universal France Ella box was fixed within days... doesn't make much of a difference, it's just a bit weird since the box has been out quite a while. That's all I wanted to say.

Miles & Kenny G. - though that might still happen.

Okay - that makes me think they didn't yet know about the mistake!?

seems correct: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:9631o20UkEwJ:www.jazzinmarciac.com/hiver-soiree-terell-stafford-chs0708-144.html+Charlie+Parker+Legacy+Band+Marciac+2008&cd=7&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=ch&client=opera non-cached link: http://www.jazzinmarciac.com/hiver-soiree-terell-stafford-chs0708-144.html

Chris who? Who cares! I'm quite with Chuck here... furthermore, Miles had so darn many great jazzers in his non-fictional bands, that's enough for me!

Yeah! Mobley is somewhat more exciting on the Carnegie Hall recording, to my ears! But at that point of the quintet's story, he fit in nicely I'd say. Not sure if Miles knew himself where he wanted to go at that point. He sounds poised on the live recordings with Stitt, but some of that was lost again by the time Mobley joined - that's how I seem to hear it at least.

My Murray is faulty, too - crap! Just sent a mail. Has anyone received replacements yet? Are they okay?

you used up your picture allowance

just finished the wonderful "Native Dancer" (had never heard it before!) and now started "Atlantis"... rather a shock, soundwise... but I guess I'll stick with it and spin the rest (skipping the WR compilation discs)

Not sure this is the right thread, but... I've been pissed by newbury comics lately, quite some. Isn't it official amazon policy that marketplace vendors aren't to make any profit from shipping fees and stuff? Anyway, newbury offers many discs twice, once for US only and at good prices, and then in a second listing for international customers, with a price that's some 20$ higher! I know, that's NOT making profit of shipping fees really, but still... sucks bigtime. Example? http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000000YI5/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&storeAttribute=m&qid=1327156554&sr=1-3&submit.see-all-buying-options=see-all-buying-options&condition=all wtf!? Got to add that I was a regular customer and always more than satisfied before they went US-shipping-only... and now I'm just pissed by them.

Can't they shut down Disney for not releasing the Jack Johnson film?

You got to get "At Last" or some best of with old sides on it then, at least!

LA Times obit: http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-etta-james-20120121,0,1608543.story r.i.p. Will spin some of her tunes later on... sad, but not unexpected after the recent news on her health.

Yeah! No reason not to get them, plenty of reasons to get them!

r.i.p. Johnny Otis Got to spin that fine Pres date again with him on the drums!

Isn't every trombone rekkid kind of a solo rekkid since dem bones play in their own world, kind of? Seriously, that Rutherford disc is great! Got to look into more of his stuff!

Any idea where that link should have led? Goes nowhere now - would be interested in it!

No voice - it's an instrumental reading of the Tao Suite. I guess that puts it up a few steps on the wantlist - thanks!

Though I bet Shirley Horn could have easily counted it in half notes... and still be slower than y'all! Most interesting discussion here!

Not sure if the Mosaic was still around when I started buying (must have been around 1996, roughly). I would most welcome a second volume from JSP, too!

The one I really have sound issues with is the Lucky Thompson...
