Yep, still slumming' on the Kansas side ... I have been fooling them so far ... much to my amazement. Need to find another small company/start-up where I can make a difference ... I keep failing the Steve Jobs test when I look in the mirror every morning

Yep, still slumming' on the Kansas side ...

Ahhhh, thanks to all of you and Bill in particular - I love it! This was the big 5-0, so I celebrated by catching the KU basketball game on Friday night, the KU football game on Saturday night and then we drove to Salina (home to Acoustic Sounds) to see Lindsey Buckingham. Had my kids, my girlfriend of 8 years and her kids ... it was a great time. And to top it off, I was presented with the new Wes Verve set this am!!! It does not get any better

I believe this is worth reading ... http://joeposnanski.si.com/2011/11/10/the-end-of-paterno/#more-8533

From My Vantage Point, This Is How It Appears

I saw this on ebay in the "buy it now" area for $8 the RUSSIAN edition of The Artistry of Freddie Hubbard record is NM

Most people/companies really only have one great idea (if that). He had at least 3 or 4. That is almost impossible. I also found his Stanford comments very moving. They are to be read again and again.

So say the notes! Yes, it is included.

Here you go ... 1. It All Comes Back To You (OA Gumbs) - 10:14 - This was on the original lp, but excluded from the Columbia reissue of several years back. So unissued on CD. 2. Watership Down (Clint Houston) - 13:48 - Unissued 3. Solar - 16:20 - Unissued 4. On Green Dolphin Street - 16:01 - Unissued 5. Days Of Wine & Roses - 13:40 - Unissued

I've got it and aside from a couple snippets of the unreleased Vanguard material, I have not listened to it. I will say that the booklet sets a new low for being incredibly hard to read - tiny font and often set against a background that essentially makes it disappear. Or maybe I am just getting old.

Hey, I am in Kansas and agree with what you are saying. It was inspirational and also interesting to learn the role of family in his life.

my best friend was a DJ at the student radio station in Lawrence ... I had him play "Chronic Town" straight through so I could tape it off the radio loved that band ... glad their last couple albums were decent and all the IRS re-issues have been great

Several people I know are doing this (substituting Roku for the PS3, but same difference). If you really have to watch something live, well that's what bars and friends are for

I like the cover art. It is also nice how they sequenced it ... no album "bleeds" over to the next disc. The last 3-4 songs on disc 5 define "filler" (the "with strings" versions of the Half Note tracks ... guess you need 'em to be "complete")

That's what I just bought! Ditto - bought and received this one from them last week.

Armed with the Len Lyons book, "101 Best Jazz Albums", this is how I was introduced to jazz. Still remember the first two I bought "Small Group Recordings" by Wes Montgomery on Verve and "The Procrastinator" - yep, that was my introduction to Lee Morgan. I remember looking for one of the Freddie Hubbard lps recommended by the book and the record store clerk hipped me to Lee instead. Another early favorite was the Cannonball 2-fer that was recorded live in SF that contained "This Here". I still pull out my 2-fers to read the notes. Very fond memories indeed!

See the seller has a 97% Positive feedback score ...

More info at the French Legacy site - looks like there will also be a Dexter Gordon set, among others. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://www.legacyrecordings.fr/the-complete-albums-collection-une-nouvelle-ligne-de-serie-dalbums-originaux/&ei=1mk0TvqfNcmbtwfG88z6DA&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=7&sqi=2&ved=0CD0Q7gEwBg&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%2522woody%2Bshaw%2522%2B%2522popmarket%2522%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26tbo%3Dd%26biw%3D981%26bih%3D632%26prmd%3Divnsfdo

While trying to learn more about the Columbia set, I discovered this: http://www.trumpetguild.org/products/recordings/latestcd.htm

Shawn, I could not have said it better myself. I know the real world isn't this simple, but at the end of the day, we are really just a bunch of cyber- pals, proud to belong to this rather unique clubhouse that has more to do with friendship and affinity than anything else. This place can be a great release and in time, I hope you can think about it that way again. Best regards, Eric

Very nice, thanks for posting Chuck. Been a bit of a jazz buying kick the last couple weeks ... my girlfriend asked me "what go that started"? Gee, I have no idea ...
