playing this one right now - very upbeat music! Up Jumped Spring (Delmark) This features Brad Goode on trumpet, Karl Montzka on piano, Larry Gray or Stewart Miller on bass, Tim Davis on drums, and on one track, Jacey Falk on vocals. Mostly unknown names to me, but it's a mighty fine disc!

Yes, and with Jimmy Smith - he was the only trombone player to appear on albums by those three, I think!

hm, the upload buttons for attachments appear, but uploads fail... weird!

Time to dig up the Mosaic again, I guess... I got that one in my pre-internet/credit-card days, when I sent IMOs to Mosaic and it took ages to get something. Wanted to get the Jimmy Smith but added a note that in case it was sold out by the time they get my order, they please add the Fuller. I wasn't disappointed in the end... now that some of the Smith is out as RVGs again, I think I enjoy the Fuller a lot more!

Happy Birthday! Got his OJCs in a frenzy when Concord started the big wipe-out and enjoyed them tremendously! Will put on the solo one later tonight, makes for good late night listening!

just curious... can you add attachments to posts in browsers other than IE? It works, but not in this part of the forum! Try a "full" reply in another section and you'll get the "add attachment" buttons and all - at least with latest Opera! Btw, glad the emoticons are still the same ones!

People Time - The Complete Recordings delivered an hour ago - just started disc 2

Ok, so it's official - with Opera, there's no attachment function! (I thought I was blind, but Niko confirmed it...) That's not a biggie as I also have Firefox installed for worst cases (I have no MSIE but whenever I try to install the latest version, my computer tells me I have a newer version than that already installed...)

I have another quibble... no matter what site I'm looking at, there's always one "element" that doesn't load. On the right side of the browser's (latest Opera, version 10.10 that is) address bar, it keeps telling me that "Elements 94/95" (or 58/59 or whatever) have loaded and the site just keeps loading, no matter how long it's been open. Also I can't see where to upload attachments. Trying to share an image with a link now:

Things seem to be working perfectly well on Opera (latest version). Sorry I missed Aggie's vertical party last night... Jim, about the quotes, here's a good example: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=56129 Posts #14 and #15 are readable, they have an empty line between the quoted and the post's own text, but post #16 doesn't and it's indeed pretty hard to figure out where the new post begins!

Ordered some early jazz a few days ago... from the American Music label mostly (I only have one of their George Lewis discs). The funny thing is, I don't know what I ordered, as from that site you don't get an order confirmation, but I guess latest by end of the week, there'll be a parcel waiting for me Some more George Lewis will be in it, and I think some Oscar "Papa" Celestin, Wild Bill Davison, Bunk Johnson and more... will report back once the package gets here! I know this is not exactly "early jazz", but it's (mostly) guys of that generation doing their thing a few decades later (40s and 60s - was there none of this revivalist stuff recorded in the 50s? There's plenty from 44/45 and then from around 59/60 on again, what was up in between? Just cool and hardbop and slime and candies?)

Good to know, would be nice if they could fix it! It's a bit hard to see where quotes end and posts begin like it is, but I'm sure we could live with that and get used to look a bit closer, if they can't change it!

That's great - I'll wait as well, then!

You ought to check out the early releases of the Mahavishnu Orchestra! Urgently!

Been browsing around for ten minutes now and things do look good! There's only one thing that's not as good as before: the quotes. You can hardly tell them apart from the main text! test quote... Ah, I see - it's old posts that aren't displayed properly. Too bad, but I guess we'll all get used to it when reading old threads!

testing, testing

I have a friend who calls Trane's looooong solos "flushing"

I gave away the old CD once I got the 3CD set... too bad, but I didn't think of such tings back then. I guess like Lon I'd buy a remastered version of the original album. I have no interest whatsoever in the recent 2CD set though - what a silly thing that is! They'd better have included the few tracks from "Alternate Takes" and the original mix of the album, instead of pairing both albums under the title of one!

The only Criss I have so far are This Is Criss which is very good and Sonny 's Dream which is a masterpiece. What are the ones you would get next? I'll still get the two listed above since they are cheap. How is his Jazz In Paris date? Bertrand. Well, definitely these two, plus Portrait of Sonny Criss - not sure what next, most of his albums are mighty fine! Don't forget the Prevue, and the three early albums for Imperial (collected on a 2CD Connoisseur set)! The Jazz in Paris is not one of the best, I'd say, but still worth getting if you see it cheap. I guess Criss is someone I'd want to have as much of as I can find... there are two Muse albums that were reissued on 32Jazz, those are in the same category as the Jazz in Paris disc, I think. The Proper chewy mentions is this here, I guess: http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:fnfqxqualdfe

all about The Sermon/House Party: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=29110

yesterday from the sales bins: Jerry Garcia - Garcia (Compliments) Kevin Ayers - whatever.... yesterday from the mail man: Dizzy Reece - Mosaic Select

Got my set yesterday and immediately put on "Soundin' Off"!

Yes, I have all but the Scott... the Ammons is fine! Those Forrest OJCs are all fine! The Criss ones aren't the ones I'd get first, but if you have the others, go get those as well!

Fantastic box! One of the few I bought locally, in my pre-internet days... it contains a sh*tload of great music! Needless to say I paid about five times as much, twelve or thirteen years ago.

Happy Birthday, David! :party:
