Man with the Golden Arm

not that it has anything to do with stay notes ... but, when I first purchased the set years ago I transferred some onto cassette for the car. Funny thing was that the first few songs from disc one (quartet sessions) had a rumble and whirr OVER the music that ended when the first few songs did - not the deck, tried different tapes, became obsessed - Mosaic sent a replacement and it did the same. weird but the disc itself played fine and this anomaly was only apparent when on a cassette.

Should be out soon. Only one of the 4 lps I've got is the one (on Jasmine) with Ronnie Scott, so guess I'll pick 'er up. Now that this has been out for a time are there any comments regarding the sound quality of this set? Curious as the "fantastic voyage" label is not one I've heard of - kinda like a BGP or ACE?

Max Zillion & Alto Ego dig!

thanks for the tip! those streams sound good. I've lost track of my listening re: Coleman but used to look forward to his releases as well but that was back in the novus / jmt days. I need to get up to speed.

is this serious!? alas poor aric we knew him well. simply, have you not cranked the hell out of "Walk on the Wild Side" ?, yes, true it was just a jukebox single that was completely off the mark from the BNs before blah de blah - but Ed Freekin Shaughnessy slowly setting up Jimmy and skittering alongside the tension for one of the greatest organ solos everrr! Make that greatest covers everrr! hitch up the horses!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igXzNaCQwUE

always wondered what happened when your count is frozen

... and then 'Livin' It Up!' and 'MONSTER' (dammit!)

"Mickey Mouse" bonus wazzat!?

It's Miami Living ... circumsized and not yet rabid - just ask Chris.

give a listen to Joyce's press conference.

Bought that little Sony D5 in '84 and friends would buy discs and I'd haul it to houses to listen. My first CD was Joe Williams' "Nothin' but the Blues" on denon cuz it was a DDD, bought from a little shop in the Cleveland Arcade that was mostly Japanese imports. I remember watching it roll off into the dining room as I had never opened a CD case before.

damn saxamophone players!

poor guy just had a Kohld.

up!(a neguinho) has anyone heard the newest? has Seu Jorge, Carlinhos Brown and the wife etc...

new scent?

this one makes me hungrier.

oh to be that traveling salesman who has to sleep in the barn.

I did exactly the same for some when the first RVG series landed - knew they were coming out and traded in discs to make them affordable ... thought 'Moanin'' was juat freeking fantastic - fooled in the initial hearing and thought the bombastics of the new re-masters sounding good for some reason. Same for 'Cool Struttin'' with the first issue having the great Japanese kissa liner notes and none of the hiss of the RVG. Happy I have the 'SFMF' before the tape stretch remasters.

oh now now ... just this week Dice K was anointed the billion dollar pitcher and savior of the season only to toss 1-K tonite. if the Celts lose tomorrow they might as well set the Charles afire and change the name to Cleveland! (and I been there thru the red right 88, the drive, the Modell moving and storage and the latest bunch of old ladies that had a knitting party with Lebron serving tea cakes a couple weeks ago.) ... and that first elbow was a slip from helping up Pierce ... Gortat should get a tech for being a pussy. Baby out w/ a concussion, Wallace w/ back and the fact that Rondo was on the cover of SI this week is more than enough worry!! throwing this old Boston Cleveland guy at the top of the key might help

some serious ball going on now tho ... interesting to see if the NBA does the right thing and straightens out last nite's bullshit refereeing!

SIMS music vid. is this the new wave? and Dwight Howard is much taller in reality.

I'll bet they elope.

Had been listening to some Bennie Green BN and pulled out the Bennie Green ST on Time. Struck by how different the swank of "It's Time" to the hipper variation "Voodoo" a year later and how great to hear the piece pull together. Curious about what the studio situation was with the Time recording as it almost appears to sound like something that was pre 'Cool Struttin' in it's kind of Prestigey sounding set. That lead me to listen to "A Fickle Sonance" from the same period, and wow, with the so-far-ahead title track esp you get that bitter tone and near out arrangement with Sonny holding the thing down with his swing while McLean turns in signs of the future. And then Clark records the same crew swan song w/ Rouse that year for 'Leapin''. The guy never ceases to amaze! I wonder if he might have been the bench choice for more outward recordings had he lived.
