Thanks for posting! Twas how it was! Sadly the Pendergast backlash can still be felt today, although 18th & Vine is making steady progress.

Don't say I don't have your back, wayward Jayhawk (I hear she makes house calls) http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt...%3Doff%26sa%3DN

Enjoy some:

Apparently I could not find the "flatter thyself" button

This is precisely why I do not employ such a system

50 - 60, about 2/3 of which came from the sale last summer.

No kidding. I could give you a link to my amazon "recently purchased" page ... Regardless of motive, I have discovered some real gems along the way

I know nothing about cooking but this sounds good! Do you throw the broccoli in boiling broth or use broth as the steaming agent?

Dave Liebman's blog also has a blurb - http://liebintervals.blogspot.com/2007/06/...sjuly-2007.html Neat pic - wish it were larger!

VERY interesting (I have no idea as to the answer to your question)

Happy Birthday Lon!!! The very best of luck and care to you and your wife.

Woody Shaw. Love it!!

He also had a very nice album on DIW in the last 10-15 years.

even when I was a little kid back in the 60s I thought this guy was a cheeseball but I have to admit this is highly entertaining

I bought something once from this guy. I was confused by the listing - thought I was getting a Contemporary lp by Sonny Simmons but what I got was a burn of that lp (with cover art) and a different CD (which was in the description, just like this Nathan Davis/Freddie Hubbard listing). I was a little annoyed - but he immediately refunded my money. His rating suggests people are OK with this - technically it seems semi-legal as you are buying one thing but getting the lp burn for free. Personally I won't buy from him again. Edit - here is that listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/SONNY-SIMMONS-rumasuma...VQQcmdZViewItem

Agree on the $20 being high. A couple of these sometimes go higher (the Hutchersons, Mother Ship), but $10 to $15 is about right for most of them. Over the past year I have "filled in" my colection of Rainbows - now only missing one or two. I bet I had more fun tracking them down than the winner of this auction will!

I live in a reasonably nice older neighborhood - people put stuff out all the time and it is a "given" that it will be gone by morning. It usually is.

I was 7 and remember being very excited. I also remember staring at the moon hoping I could somehow see it first-hand!

Weird - I just bought the Melvin Jackson CD from "TB" not 10 minutes before before I saw this thread

Yes, but once you set aside the box, nothing beats their books for ease of use. Same for the full-sixed Fantasy boxes (Monk, Evans, Montgomery). The Mosaic Selects are pretty handy too. Come to think of it, the Mosaics are probably my favorite. Seconds on the Heavyweight Champion, although I usually just pull out the individual CDs.

Michael from "The Office" seems to like this place ...

Regardless of musical genre, most people clap after the performance. I think that is done out of custom and politeness, neither of which I have a problem with. What varies of course is the intensity of the applause. If people are moved they will reflect that in their applause. The custom in jazz is to applaud after every solo. I don't have a problem with that because it is the tradition of the music - and more importantly, people will definitely give it up when they are truly moved. Personally I like the custom associated with jazz - I think it fosters more of an engagement between musicians and the audiance.

You haven't heard Infinite Search? Get thee to the record store, young man! I never picked up the original Universal Syncopations due to the reviews on this thread, and the upcoming sequel holds even less appeal. Guy Infinite Search (or Mountain in the Clouds) is a stone classic, IMHO. It was one of my first jazz lps, before I knew who the players "were".

Are these listed on the Mosaic web site? Could not find them ...
