  1. Looking for a disc that might contain Lynn Hope's 1950 take on "Tenderly". My Dad has recently expressed that that was his favorite song of all time and he probably hasn't heard it since the days when it was a hit. Found this on AMG but I can't figure out whether it might be just a remake type of album and not the original. Thanks for any hints.
  2. Jsngry...Any examples of what these sorts of albums might look like? I've been in a serious boogalu vein as of late and would love to hear some more Latin tinged organ.
  3. It's imperative that all steer way clear of that as a J-RVG. Incredibly bad and just what Kevin said. Not only AM but kind of like putting a pillow over your speakers. The TOCJ is the way to go and I think it can still be had from Hiroshi? McLean is so sweet on this one and Garnett Brown, who I am not very familiar with, gets on with some nice growling.
  4. So is this suitable for a young eight year old? I thought it was just a PG. My wife and I were planning on taking her next weekend. She'll no doubt start hoarding allowances for some nice maori tattoos.
  5. Hey roberth., Does "Tune Up" end seconds short of where it should on this re-release as well. Or was RVG able to repair that problem that's been on every issue.
  6. The town I live in and the one I work in are in a pre-election tax levy battle for a much needed school in what is ranked as the # 2 educational system in the state and every morning I drive by this 4 X 8 sheet of plywood that sez: "VOTE NO, TAXES TO HIGH"...oh the irony. (now about those run-on sentences)
  7. Sure fire way to get the sales guy to jump for the controls is to ask him to put on "Snagglepuss" from Naked City for ya. (wait til yours are broken in a bit) So whadja get, huh, huh? Give that Cachaito a spin for checking the bottom!
  8. oodles of congratulations. we'll all have a virtual cigar!
  9. While Gilles Peterson has me looking up under-recognized Brits via recs from Bev, P.D., etal... I am wondering if there might be some recommendations for British Organ (and that ain't spotted dick) grooves similar to, but not as acid jazzy as, The James Taylor Quartet or some of the work I've heard by Seamus Beachen with Barry Adamson? And for what it's worth I've never heard ANY Graham Bond.
  10. I was just yesterday playing a compilied "accessible" Ware burn, (blasphemy, i know) at my studio and the description levied by office mates was "sounds like an elephant giving birth to a brontosaurus".
  11. That seller looks to be DVDs and Baseball Cards. I'd definitely e-mail them first. But they are probably selling the earlier Contemporary(s) at a higher price since Ornette was a rookie then. And yes that JVC quartet read fantastic. It would be choice to hear Cohen, whose hugeness fits nicely into the Haden-esque role in Masada, playing with the RealDeal!
  12. You are correct according to Steve Hoffman who discusses the dates, 1/6/59, here with some sticklers.
  13. while in keeping with your blue-period you could go max zillion!
  14. Well, er, ah unfortunately I bought that one in Japan last year prior to any knowledge of this being an SACD. Here is a page of some great insight's regarding the process of this new one. It even sets the dates straight for the pick-knitters. Order up, I guess. SC Trio
  15. Did some searching around on the Time Sonny Clark disc. Another thread claims what lies in this one, I think, but there were a lot of disparate conversations going on. So does this SACD version's CD layer of the Trio (the one that was recorded in January of 1959 and 'published' in 1960) completely blow away the recently 2001 re-issued 'Hi-Bit-Hyper' mastered disc from Japan? I've been gathering a selection of hybrid onlys as I have yet to upgrade the hardware, but have recently reconfigured my studio set-up into something that sounds very fresh. Thanks.
  16. Curious if anyone can comment the just released JRVG of Hill and Hutcherson's "Judgement!"? Thanks.
  17. I just opened a link to Giddins VV column on the JVC jazz fest and across that was a banner for this beautyisararethingbox! Essential and sounds pretty darn good to me. and I guess I'd better include the blib on Ornette's new quartet: "...Art Blakey famously said that music washes away the dust of everyday life, and so it was when Ornette Coleman took the stage with his new quartet. He went at it for close to 90 minutes, stopping, after a one-minute encore in response to a five-minute ovation, at the stroke of 11. That kind of precision characterized the entire set, not just the variational logic and magically timed endings, but the hairpin turns as the quartet sustained the leader's expansive, combustible playfulness. With Denardo Coleman's drums behind Plexiglas, the sound balance (better overall this summer than at any JVC festival in memory) gave each man his due, preventing the basses from getting muddied. Sometimes Greg Cohen asserted a thumping pizzicato bedrock as Tony Falanga employed his bow for melodic incursions; sometimes they plucked together, usually with Falanga suggesting the lead; and at one point Cohen laid out while Coleman and Falanga exchanged phrases. At all times the group seemed to breathe together, rising and falling like a pair of lungs, locked together with an emphatic rhythmic integrity that, in the Coleman manner, is less propulsive than fixed in the present—a perpetual-motion machine that swings in place, spotlighting the momentum of Coleman's improvised melodies. Nothing in jazz is more moving than the purity of Coleman's sound and conception. Essentially, it has remained the same since 1959, when Shelly Manne marveled at how he could make the alto saxophone laugh and cry—never in a mimetic way, but through the natural effusiveness of his inventions. His tunes reach into an unguarded place where we store the most elemental tunes of childhood, and embody their universality, encompassing every kind of emotion. His solos chortle, sigh, exult, and dream, and when he's finished you get sent back to the dust of everyday life. Small wonder the audience wouldn't let him leave. Every Coleman concert is an event, but on this night he was preaching from the mountain and the clean air was exhilarating." Giddins village voice
  18. I forgot to mention that those CDs are actually painted!
  19. Ah but you must wear these to go CD shopping!....
  20. i've sworn off that stuff. i always find a hair in it.
  21. Seeing as I used to scrawl #15 on my sweatshirts every fall I had to cast for Bart. Probably my fave since I was just old enough to watch those first couple of Super Bowls with Dad and actually pay a little bit of attention. I did like Roman Gabriel after becoming a Ram fan for a while. Jack Snow and Lance Rentzel-famous for the "down and out"! Now how 'bout we talk greatest running back of all time. The #32 rings a bell.
  22. I've got about five of those babies you all just posted in pristine condition with the varnish unpeeled. Guess I oughta eBay'em darn quick?
  23. See Dusty Groove for MWTGA
