HP, I just saw there is a new vinyl place over by 64th & Quivera. My son and I are going to check it out this weekend. I am guessing it is the old CD Warehouse location: http://www.vinyl-renaissance.com/servlet/StoreFront I also heard that Music Exchange had relocated into the West Bottoms - can't recall the specific address. My son tells me there is also a place over on 39th Street and we have also been to a bookstore on 39th that has some vinyl in the basement. Very eclectic selection. I was very bummed when Recycled Sounds closed, but at least I caught their sale. Best record store in the area is still Love Garden in Lawrence, although I am very eager to check out Vinyl Renaissance. There is also a used CD/vinyl store over on 75th Street in OP (or Shawnee) that is cool - Needmore Discs. Actually pretty refreshing to see all the new places "filling the void" after the demise of RS and ME. Eric

I do like the fact they were able to use a F. Wolff photo for the cover

Well I am partial to the Montgomery stuff ... simply because my lousy ears don't capture his tone as well as I'd like ... I notice an improvement with the K2s ...

I am a pretty easy-going guy. But I freaking hate the fruit in the beer!!!

After Crouch's last public lecture in Kansas City, I can imagine that. Somehow I missed a Kansas City appearance by Crouch. When and where was it? What did he say? He may have been here more recently, but I saw/heard him speak/ramble before the Charles McPherson/Tom Harrell show at the Gem a couple years ago.

PM sent on Hank.

Congrats Chuck and Ann!!!

Amazon has it used for $19.99. Blue Note has also put out three GG compilations from his 1969 forward years - I think there are 2-3 Carryin' On songs represented there. You can also cherry pick the songs from iTunes or your equivalent of choice.

Thanks Kevin - yes they are .wav files. All my lps are in the basement ... it may be 2-3 weeks before I emerge

Here is the Click Repair site: http://wwwmaths.anu.edu.au/~briand/sound/ I am presuming that I can bring it in using INport and then clean it up with Cilck Repair (although as mentioned above, the occasional scratches are OK with me).

Thanks for the tip Chuck. I got this a few days ago and checked it out last night. I am not a computer genius, but got everything working on the first try. I also have a Marantz burner - the advantage of the INport device is that you skip the step of having to burn a CD and then import it into your laptop - plus with INport, you can record an entire side and then create individual tracks on your computer (although the ripping program that comes along also seems to do this for you with INport).

Has anyone seen a track listing? In the US, it looks like there is also a Jimmy McGriff big band record coming out on BN the same day. http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?...355854238&BAB=M

Slightly OT Chuck, but I was wondering what falls among your favorite Morgan sessions?

This is a wonderful record, IMHO. The track you have is not really representative, although somehow it fits with the whole album.

Oddly, if you look at GG's discography at All Music, it shows this as a 2006 release - even has a catalog number. Bingo! http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?...D=5092246&BAB=L

Fortunately we are getting closer and closer to being able to assemble the Hill set with individual CDs. I thought we would never see the just-reissued Pax. It seems like Compulsion would be put out at some time too. Don't know about that Rivers quartet, although that would be a great one. PS - Only reason I track this so closely is that I once had the Hill set and LOST it. Not sold, lost.

No kidding, that was really random (nothwithstanding whatever "cohesion criteria" touted by Mosaic).

Love that record (Jazz Contemporary)!!

Me too - I even check out the mechandise they have been selling (or buying) recently (i.e. on the feedback details section) to get a feel for whether or not they know what they are doing. I will also check out "view seller's other auctions" to help complete the picture. Even then, I am more often than not surprised about the poor (relative to advertised) quality of items. It is pretty clear to me that there a bunch of fairly half-a$$ed sellers out there.
