Anybody"?? I'm guessing that more than half of us here on this very board own at least one leader-dates by the person in question, and several of us probably own 5 or even 10 of his leader-dates. Gotta be Kenny Garrett!!! No, NOT Kenny Garrett -- but that's a GOOD guess!! Heck, I might have even guessed that myself!! Also, I just checked, and the guy I'm thinking of wasn't on the "Blue Turtles" tour, but rather he was on the "Nothing Like The Sun Tour" in 1987. I've never heard any tapes, but would like to sometime. Back to Google ...

I am in tears (again). Very, very funny

Yeah, I have this on lp and think it is somewhat lame compared to the ones Blue Note issued on CD. Grooves are just a little too simple/repetitive. Flame away

Tom - I think the acoustic version of WMGGW is included in the video clip I linked to above.

Tom - have you heard the one "Soul Gestures" lp with Elvin Jones and Joe Henderson? I have always liked that one - not necessarily because of those two - I just think it is a good record.

Check out the preview of the show itself here: http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/CirqueDuSole...intro/intro.htm I have to admit, it looks pretty cool.

Interesting. I have no interest in hearing the Beatles f'd up. Having said that, I have always thought of George Martin as the 5th Beatle (for example - I don't think McCartney needed Lennon in the 70s - he needed Martin). Anyway, I would be interested to hear this.

I listened to some samples today on iTunes and they did sound good. I will be picking this up too.

What a piece of shit

Ditto. I've been playing it after reading this thread and it sounds fresh and fun.

I would highly recommend this one!!

Went back to check this out based on this thread - very tasty date.

a rare peach for the Hank fan: http://cgi.ebay.com/Hank-Mobley-Roll-Call-...1QQcmdZViewItem

Ha - I was in NY and saw these guys on Weds. the 6th. Great show. My ony complaint too, was that Frisell was standing at kind of a right angle to the audience, so I did not get to see his technique either. Lovano - a guy I never really warmed to on record - was superb. Maybe I need to get out more

Exactly. With kids, stuff gets jacked up - potentially really jacked up. It took me a while to "just deal with it" but I have and now I can look at some of that stuff with affection versus being very PO'd. You do save money by not buying nice stuff. The existing nice stuff (as you have discovered) is where the issues reside

Got the Blakey - have not had a chance to view it yet. But - as noted above - the production appears to be first rate. Lots of photos, notes by Cuscuna, etc.

No AH fetish here, but I have always enjoyed that one quite a bit.

I have seen him three times over the years and find the experience very inspiring.

Miles Davis - Live/Evil George Freeman - Birth Sign Bobby Hutcherson - Live at Montreaux Akiyoshi/Tabakin Big Band - Insight Warne Marsh - All Music Woody Shaw - Little Red's Fantasy Art Pepper - Art Pepper Today Joe Pass - Intercontinental Dave Holland & Sam Rivers Vol. 1 and about 99 to be named later ...

up to give attention to his new CD - Another Place. Very nice.

Gee Jim, I thought you could toss this off the top of your head At your convenience, I would enjoy your thoughts ... if it is anything more than a complete labor of love for you, no need to bother Having said that, I am enjoying my own spin back through this material. Lots of surprises and lots of regrets!

I don't know the answers to any of your questions, but I agree - the Joe Champers compositions are a big plus on this date.

I just received set no. 945 ... so not to worry.
