Depending on where you order from, aDE's 35€ might be the better offer: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00IOQSW7A/ I've eyed this, but I really know sh*t about the music it contains ... would it be of interest to someone (uhm, me) who prefers soul the raw southern (Stax) way? NO............ It is great stuff, but it is the antithesis of raw & southern. Agree, and it's not Motown either. Really its own thing and if I didn't have much of this, I would jump on it.

The Dixon is one of my most-played CDs from the last few years.

That was pretty good.

Cool story. I need to head up to Chicago and catch him. I have always loved Birth Sign on Delmark and Rebellion on Southport.

Agree with you on the sound. Some of the CP sounds startlingly good to me. Some of the other music - the Erroll Garner for example, sounded lousy. The Dodo Marmarosa sounded fine.

Will it be under the tree, will it be under the tree??? ? T-minus an hour and counting! Received the Blue Note Monk for Christmas in 1985 ... Edit: Got it!! Love the photos in the booklet.

Entertainer ... that is a big miss

Nambia for me too, although the past week has been sky-high due to holiday parties, going-away parties, business trips, etc. Kuwait sounds pretty good right about now!

yes, it would be nice if the pdf which presumably contains all this info were posted on the site, versus only included with the purchase

Done!

So using the highly scientific approach of identifying which 2014 albums received the most "plays" in my itunes: Orrin Evans - Liberation Blues Misha Tsiganov - Artistry Of The Standard Eric Wyatt - Borough Of Kings Eddie Allen - Push

that sounds like a cool idea ... there needs to be an app to log all that stuff!

oh man, for some reason if that Larry Young deal falls through ...

Received mine as well. Pretty amazing, really.

I am not a hardcore Dylan fan by any stretch, but really enjoy this.

Anything by Spoon ... Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga is a good entry point as is their latest, They Want My Soul.

Also curious on the Szabo CDs ... allmusic reviews not encouraging.

Wow - checked out "Nature Boy" - that is a nice one.

Will be nice to hear something live from this band: HORACE SILVER – piano TOM HARRELL – trumpet, flugelhorn LARRY SCHNEIDER – tenor sax CHIP JACKSON – bass, bass guitar EDDIE GLADDEN – drums http://www.promising-music.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&category_id=3&flypage=shop_flypage&product_id=119&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1

Looks very cool - thanks for letting us know.

Parliament - Mothership Connection and Funkentelechy Vs. The Placebo Syndrome Funkadelic - Let's Take It To The Stage Prince - Dirty Mind The Cars - The Cars Elvis Costello - This Year's Model and Armed Forces New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies The Jam - Setting Sons The Clash - London Calling R.E.M. - Chronic Town, Murmur and Reckoning Shoes - Present Tense Talking Heads - Remain In Light and Fear Of Music Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Spoon - Gimme Fiction Peter Tosh - Equal Rights Albert King - Born Under A Bad Sign Son Seals - Chicago Fire Van Halen - Van Halen Boston - Boston Aerosmith - Rocks

Wow - that is perfect!

Maybe an electric keyboard here and there, but largely acoustic. You can preview the songs on iTunes (or Amazon?).

I've wondered about the Haynes ... care you describe it? Thanks
