What he said about what they said.

On the new arrivals, the genre is on the left. So click on "new arrivals", the click on "jazz" at the left. I found that if you click on the term "jazz", you get all the jazz items, but if you click on the number next to "jazz", it brings them up by media type. One thing I do like is that if you find something that is on say the P-Vine label, it gives you a search option to see all the P-Vine material. You could do this before, but you would have to use the search engine. A nice enhancement.

My ex-wife was ironing right next to my album crate and knocked the iron down on to the records. It landed face down. Davis through Farlow were f'd within a matter of seconds. Nothing as valuable as yours, but it was not a happy moment.

Glad you enjoyed yourself Michael.

Agree - my experience has been similar.

The "Silver 'n" lps would make great candidates for the Mosaic Select series

I think the UK sub of Blue Note has issued it. You can probably find it on amazon/uk. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Final-Comedown-24B...TF8&s=music (sorry for not using CD Universe - they just show it as backordered)

OT, but I shudder every time I think of how this guy ended it ... really sad.

I would love to join you Michael - PM sent.

Ditto, except the other way I would do 1 in a heartbeat if there were any 1s around.

Groove Holmes was remarkably consistent in the quality of his recordings, imo. I would just get what you can find. I've probably got 15+ cds, and I like them all. Agree. I have several on oddball labels such as "Beast Retro" that are great little records.

For whatever it's worth, I generally buy used CDs and I realize that nothing is going to the artist. I don't feel that is unethical, but it is shortsighted in the grand scheme of things. If it is a living artist or someone who is making a go of it themselves (our hosts for example), I will usually pay up for the new copy.

That one definitely kicks ass Yes, the sound is lousy, but you quickly forget about it

Me? I use of these:

Don Cherry - Just Across From Manhattan! Wayne Shorter - Chevy Nova Lonnie Smith - Putts Lee Morgan - Unfortunately Morgan Hank Mobley - Poopin' Grant Green - Parkay ...

No, he's really finger, goldfinger. Damn cheap toilet tissue... .....plus a steady diet of circus peanuts.....

I think that is a fabulous session - can't wait to see it. Rooster - how does it compare to Compulsion?

Thanks - sound very interesting ... Three records from that era that I really enjoy - Super Nova, Mountain in the Clouds and the first Weather Report record. All very beautiful, but have a definite bite.

Can you describe it for the uninitiated? Thanks

Horace Parlan - Sperm Of The Moment and you will note the sequel just below (edit: above actually) ...

(apologies in advance - I have been waiting for this thread since I was 10) Lee Morgan - The Cornholer Stanley Turrentine - Cummin' Your Way Horace Parlan - Spankin' My Piece
