I am not positive, but I think it is an iTunes thing. I think (but am not positive) that you can adjust the time between tracks within iTunes. I have noticed this problem on most live CDs that I play in my iPod.

OK, well if the product never hits the market, then you would have to pay back the advance, esp if you (i.e. the estate) were the one who was the reason behind it never hitting the market. The point is, they are just hurting themselves.

Seems they could have dealt with the money part of it without delaying the release or slapping the sticker on it ... which would lead one to believe it is some sort of ego thing/pissing contest. What a joke, but I suspect we will have this soon enough. Can't get *any* money of you don't have any sales ...

Yep, same here. Everything else has shipped out ... Cellar Door is sitting there at $39.19 ...

Yes industry, time to move on. I guess the strip is designed to prevent someone at Musicland from opening the CD (after getting through the wrap) and stealing the CD. Hmmm. I thought these guys had a copy protection problem ...

So far: histortical signficance - Parker/Diz - 19-9 I like it better - Coltrane/Monk - 16-12 Makes sense, I suppose. But it is AMAZING to have them both!!!

Un-du also works, but does not appear to have Citrus Power ...

That's OK, your crack* Organissimo news team is on the case. Looks like the end of October for the CD release. Hopefully. You and your local CD guy should hang out here. It's like CNN for jazz. *interpret the use of this word however you like ← Or C-SPAN 3 ...

I'm not sure this poll means much to me, but what I do find interesting is how much happened in the 12 short years between the two. For context, look where we were in 1993 and "how far" we have come since

Yes, I have suspected as much. But I figure I somehow eliminated the more adventurous end of the gene pool ...

What catesta said. Personally I dislike the thought of X% of a contribution going to "administration" which you can't avoid with a "national" charity.

Rats ... they are a whole different story ... nasty, yellow-toothed b*st*rds!!! Found one in the garbage can in the garage one day (a detached garage thank God) ... the can was empty and it was jumping up and down ... when I lifted the lid I damn near peed my pants. Still mice & (maybe) rats are better than snakes ... found a couple of them in the house over the years (same "living next to a creek issue").

When they stop leaving those little turds everywhere I'll think about it. ← No kidding ... when I first see those things I say to myself "please be a poppyseed, please be a poppyseed". I think Soul Stream is correct. In this case best best defense is a strong defense I've owned three older houses and had mice in all of them. Mouse traps, loaded with peanut butter, do the trick every time. I have never caught more than 3-4 at once (say over a week period), which suggests I have a "small" problem versus infestation, which is always my real fear ...

Yeah, Lewis Porter made a comment in the Carnegie Hall notes about two undated unreleased Monk/Trane tracks being available at Monk Zone. I could not find them, but did find this stuff. Update - found them - the tunes are Nutty and Ruby, My Dear. No recording data, but sure sounds like a club. Otherwise pretty good sound quality. http://monkzone.com/silent/monkzone.htm Go to Webcasts and scroll down to "LISTEN TO THELONIOUS PLAYING NUTTY AND RUBY, MY DEAR WITH JOHN COLTRANE (WORLD PREMIERE)"

btw, has anyone noticed there are a ton of Monk live shows available for download here: http://www.theloniousrecords.com/Merchant2...tegory_Code=MP3 interesting, a bunch of bootlegs being sold for $9.99 each (MP3 files) by Thelonious Records ...

I was on a 3 hour flight this am and listened through this a couple times on headphones (and some tracks 5-6 times). DAMN! GOOD LORD! This music, especially the 2nd set, justs grabs you and dares you not to enjoy the hell out of yourself. The two things that really struck me are how joyous and downright funky this music is. You can really sense the fun the musicians must have had that night - the whole thing sounds like an evening of good natured trash talking among very good, very clever friends. I could hardly resist the urge to dance in the aisles or otherwise just whoop it up! To me this stuff is deeply soulful and wickedly bluesy. I am surprised there was not any hollerin' from the crowd (but I guess it was a charity crowd). Listen to Bye-Ya, Blue Monk, both versions of Epistrophy - both Monk and Trane are absolutely killing in their solos and interplay. This is goosebumps, tears of joy stuff - and damn, isn't that what you want from music!. From both an intellectual and an ass-shaking perspective, this music is deeply satisfying

There are 8 tracks, 4 of which are announcements, so the two music tracks per CD must be pretty long? There are no track timings at the online retailers ...

It is currently the no. 1 seller at CD Universe (and no. 4 at Amazon). Say what you want about the power of advance marketing, but I think that is pretty cool

Wow, I wonder what kind of legal standing the son might have at this late date? Seems like Sony could just tell him to buzz off, but obviously not.

What a mess ... Nice to see Paul Tingen got the JT article. His "Miles Beyond" book is a lot of fun to read and has been a great reference for me.

I am going from memory, but seems Cuscuna had some interesting recollections about WS in the Mosaic box set booklet. Sad story ...

Yep, my Trane/Monk and Big Star shipped, but the Cellar Door is still there at good ole $39.19 ...

Interesting. I wonder how the "display" Nanos are holding up at the Apple stores - seems these would be esp vulnerable. Either that or Apple has to replace them every few days ...

Shoot, I am leaving town to go to Sacramento. Enjoy KC if you can, and hopefully you can hook up with the KC crowd, drink some beer and eat some BBQ!!!
