You can go here to find the nearest Coinstar machine: http://www.coinstar.com/US/html/A-home It even tells you if the particular machine works with Amazon. This is very sweet

Interesting to see Mark Elf on guitar. Kinda surpising that he only plays on 3 cuts. Based on the line up, this would seem to have some promise.

Ditto, except Kansas.

Awesome!! Thanks!

The rainbows came out just as I was getting into jazz and were often the easiest Blue Notes to find. They were/are a lot of fun - I learned a hell of a lot from the notes.

oops, must have fat-fingered my birthday - it is actually the 13th But thanks much all - I do plan to celebrate tonight

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?
