  1. I forgot to mention that my last two or so orders arrived without me having to pay *any* custom taxes - just tell them to mark it as "educational sample", that will do the trick! The sets I remember going through with this were the O'Day and the Krupa/James, both more expensive than custom allows, with both no problem at all.

    Johnny Coles

    Not sure how much I like that one... but Coles quite easily outshines Byrd. Very much a Pearson date, moreso than the "Little Johnny C", which is fine with me, but not Coles' best. The quartet album Chuck mentions above is a great one!
  10. I would have -as I was 2h earlier than you my friend - but also no response so far..... alright, so I've saved some $$
  11. Thanks, Kevin! I'm starting to believe it, then! Great!!! Hey! Why didn't you believe ME... ? sorry, I wasn't aware that you had seen the discs in real... gets clear from re-reading your post, though!
  12. Sepp is one corrupt guy, I tell you! His name should be added in the dictionnary of synonyms! But that was so ridiculous! Why don't the referees get any help from some additional referees viewing the tv images? This is not stone age any longer!
  13. Watched France-Korea (isn't that part of the US, anyway?) and it was so utterly boring. And so unfair that the second goal didn't get counted. Why did no one (no one at all!) protest? It was so obvious!
  14. Anyone knows what's up with take5? I had no reply so far... also he seems to not have read a PM I sent (tracked) three days ago. Has anyone bought the Amy from him, already?
  15. big for this one:
  16. There have been threads about "tenor saxophonists under 40" and similar ones, do some searches!
  17. Thanks, Kevin! I'm starting to believe it, then! Great!!!
  18. indeed my version has that flaw, too, at 3:58 - on one player it starts skipping and I need to quickly hit the fast-forward button to get past it, on the other (a discman) it inserts a little pause and then continues (which is probably why I didn't notice when I played the disc some time back, while doing other things simultaneously). sucks!
  19. It's a mandolin. A custom 5-string electric mandolin! Thanks for that info... he's quite astonishing, too, and makes a great sparring partner for McLaughlin... only after a while it can get a bit too much of the same for me.
  20. So the theme, then is "euro grooves"? And that's Glenn Ferris... he's great, but I don't know lots of his recordings. On the most recent Lateef album "Influence" (on BFLat, co-led with the French Belmondo brothers), he appears as guest on CD2 and turns in a few terrific solos! Never heard the guy with who's band Wheeler's featured... waiting for some recommendation in the answer comments, Mike! Pity I misplaced the discs... haven't even had a chance to hear the bonus disc yet, and hardly any time to tidy up and look for it right now
  21. I'll try and do so over the weekend!
  22. The ones on sale in the UK are European manufactured and are NOT repeat NOT cc-ed. I can't promise, but I suspect amazon.de is in error. Let's hope you're right! I have virtually stopped buying BNs new releases. Picked up 4 or 5 cc versions but only on sale prizes (10€ or less, approximately). Of course they wouldn't tell us about their conclusions or even apologize or admit their strategy was bogus... but again, let's hope you're right!
  23. Amazon.de says they are copycrap, not CDs!
