I have the LP Innovations on the Discovery label and it features Jack simultaneously playing acoustic and electric piano. I like it, but not as much as Something Personal or Ramblin'. I'd probably upgrade if MP3s or CD were available.

I hope eMusic gets it fairly quickly too. They have the earlier Pi releases.

I do both. Hard disks are so cheap now that there is no reason to delete anything from your computer, but 90% of my listening is CD/CDrs and 10% is my 60 gb (and stuffed) Creative MP3 player.

To me, Max has always been about melody on the drums. I think of him more as a singer than a dancer or marcher. Live, it always astonished me just how much music he could get out of the hi-hat. He also feeds my jones for the dramatic.

Any comments on John Shiurba - 5x5 1.2=A? Curious about anything with Anthony Braxton as a sideman.

I'd pay better money to hear him give it a go, in either case!

Got Frequency and Exploding Star Orchestra from eMusic, very nice!

Andrew Hill and the Jazzpar Octet + 1 Von Freeman - Young and Foolish Karin Krog and Steve Kuhn - Together again Yoshimi and Mats (Gustafsson) Still working my way through the David Murray Black Saints

New name to me. Any relation to Roscoe?

I'm sure I've said this elsewhere, but hear Schnabel on the first movement of the Hammerklavier. Thunderous force, makes other interpretations seem careful and delicate by comparison. Three of four 2 cd volumes of the Schnabel cycle are on emusic, but the Classica d'Oro is still tempting.

So does anybody have any help for the author regarding this line? We do not know whether Wilburn Green, Victor Sproles, Bo Bailey, James Scales, Jon Hardy, Billy Mitchell, George Hudson, or Clyde Williams are still on the planet.

Same guy who played on the five Manne Blackhawk volumes, right?

Perhaps we have here an attempt to communicate to a real or imagined audience that is reluctant to embrace the avant-garde but just might be interested if convinced of its musicianship. Liner notes are the traditional place for puffery. I ain't buying any used cars from the guy, but I'll give him a little credit for trying. If he's bending the truth a bit to try and get just a couple more people to open their ears and listen, yeah I'll give him some slack.

The Schubert C Major Quintet d.959 with the Melos Ensemble is a personal favorite.

Decided to find this and up it due to the 17 David Murray Black Saints that just appeared on eMusic. I already have Ming and am headed for The Hill and The Healers this evening. I do have mixed feelings, but am ready to explore some more. DeJohnette's Special Edition and Ming are good stuff, but I didn't get Murray much when he first started recording.

There are now 17 full David Murray Black Saint albums up. I hope the rest of Black Saint will follow. I'm grabbing The Hill for sure today. There is nothing deeper than The Complete Dial and Savoy Recordings of Charlie Parker ; ). Verve is usually the next step, but emusic only has the With Strings via Definitive. The Quintet on Fantasy/Prestige is the only other one that I can vouch for the quality of. As with Jimi Hendrix, many lesser labels have scraped the bottom of the barrel in terms of recording quality.

Just got to mention Walt Dickerson - To My Queen as a great performance featuring Andrew. RIP and Thank You.

Oh, when the the Blue Notes go up? Got a link for J. R. Monterose? And have the Quartet Outs gone up anywhere? I did email you about my CD wallet forever lost on an airplane? I'm definitely in the market for Mp3s, preferably 192 VBR or higher! I still have the empty cases.

Well no. But she does play on one of the two sides reissued as Northern Windows Plus. A little too electric and arranged for some jazz purists, but worth a listen. I personally don't mind if someone asks on Organissimo.org before they google. If you don't have time to help out, someone else might.

I assume Larry's link will point you to Hampton Hawes on Prestige, among other places.

And still not make any money?

Charlie Louvin is indeed the name of the sole surviving Louvin Brother.

And, for the truly demented, there's the incredibly great Bud Powell - Johnny Griffin duets. I remember them being out on Xanadu LP.

Speaking of 'stros and Phillies, Harry Kalas came to Philly and joined Richie Ashburn and By Saam. (next paragraph courtesy of google search) During a game in St. Louis, he was doing play-by-play, a Cardinals player homered. By Saam said, "Here's a ground ball to shortstop." Richie Ashburn was frantically signaling that it had been a home run. Saam added, : "And it's outta here." Another time, a San Diego player hit a double and Saam said that it was a "slide into second, a stand-up double." Then there's his first visit to the Astrodome, an indoor stadium. By remarked, "What a beautiful night for baseball. The flags are hanging limp. There's no breeze at all." (we now return to our regularly scheduled topic) While JSngry and I arrived at jazz about the same time, he was a few years earlier than me as regards the rock scene. Band on the Run was a high school favorite as was Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. I didn't check out the Righteous Brothers until a few years later, but edc, if you can't hear that Unchained Melody, my sympathy to ya.
