Good point. I came of age in the lp era and 35-45 feels about right for me, although when I still play lps, 18-20 minutes seems to fly by. For me it is an attention span thing and a perception (not by any means a fact) that beyond say 50-55, you are throwing some filler in there. Lately I have been grooving on the relatively new Bill Evans set called "On A Monday Evening" which comes in at 48 or so and seems perfect. If I want more, I just play it again

Harold Vick - Commitment

Thanks for the heads up.

The operating company that manufactures the guitars is fine and profitable. The parent company had too much debt and so the only ones hurt here are their shareholders. Someone else will end up owning the company but day to day operations should stay the same.

I find myself listening to this one quite a bit. Lee plays his ass off and the tunes are nice too. Definitely not "in the solid hard bop camp". As mentioned earlier, it really is a group date - plenty of solo room for all. Just makes you wonder what else he could have done.

Bobby Hutcherson- “Conception”

I am enjoying both the Hubbard and the Shaw. Great opportunity to contrast the two trumpeters, bands and tunes. Giving the edge to the Shaw, but having Caliman is nice on the Hubbard.

Managed to score both of these at Record Store Day - was pretty amazed as I was not there early. Looking forward to spinning them both later.

I live in KC and have not been in years. My impressions are similar to those above. Not even remotely close to the country music hall of fame in Nashville.

Since it is available at a decent price, any opinions on the music? Front line looks great of course.

How do you search for buyers on eBay? Thanks

So he was 18, maybe a senior in HS or freshman at UCLA. Didn't realize the jazz bug bit him that young.

Wow - missed this until I saw today’s Jazz Times. Too bad - what a great artist. His ECM work is tremendous.

Yeah, that was one of my first, along with The Procrastinator. Two-fer BNs of the early 80s.

Not much of a Dylan fan but I love BOTT. And Bootleg No. 8 (go figure). I get the love and all for him, but these are the only two that stuck with me.

Received this DVD for Christmas and just now watched it. Really well done, utterly fascinating in fact. It really plays like a biography of Morgan, with Helen as one of the contributors. And then of course it turns. The first hand observations of Billy Harper and others are chilling. Lee Morgan is one of my all-time favorites. His music has been important to me for 35+ years. If you feel the same way, this is a must-see.

Same

Oh yeah. One of my first Lee albums. Love it.

Curious how you like the Reggie Moore CDs ...

Fabulous. Thanks for taking the time to transcribe.

Agreed and I also bought. We'll see how the vinyl makes the trip here.

OP here ... I noticed the same but did not make a difference. I have a friend who is a network guy who suspects my switch is bad. Evidently this is the device that keeps the trains (i.e. Ethernet cables) running on time. That does look cool. I think my devices are OK, which makes sense. Will post after I replace the switch.

Thanks everybody for their response. iTunes and AE firmware is all up to date. I will try the re-set. It has been a bit maddening as they all used to work flawlessly. Now it can take 20-30 seconds to "find" an Airport Express and I experience static and dropouts. Just added a new router to the system - did not seem to make a difference (I have Spectrum - the old Time Warner). Stefan - is this something a non-technical person can employ? I came across the Pi while researching alternatives. Are there any resellers/retailers you could recommend?

I have four stereos in the house and use an Airport Express with each one of them to stream music from my Mac or iPhone. Lately I have been having some issues with them not connecting. I have a combo of the older and newer models, but the issues seem random and unrelated to wifi signals. Does else use these devices to stream music and/or had problems with them? Any alternative devices. Since I am an iPhone/Mac guy, I really just need something that works with Airplay. Thanks!

Actually donated a huge chunk of vinyl to my university 10 years ago. Back when vinyl was "dead". Have not replaced a lot of it on vinyl, but wish I still had it.
