I saw an eBay listing for a Zoot Sims/Al Cohn records on the Fred Miles Presents label. A google search didn't turn anything up except a popsike listing of the same lp sold in 2006 (for 127 usd). Can anyone tell me more about this label?

PM sent on 5 James Moody/Kenny Barron Fly Me to the Moon (Lonehill).

I've had good experiences with Sleeve City, have purchased jewel boxes, plastic bags for box sets and resealable mylar sleeves, great for protecting digipacks. They will send samples with an order.
-
I have wondered who was on that Sonny Stitt date (Argo 629), one of my favorite dates, maybe because it was also one of the first jazz albums I listened to a lot.
-
So, can an mp3 download be considered a "boxset"? Do you get notes with these?
-
Thanks for posting, I hope to order this shortly.

Getting a copy of Way Out Wardell was quite a revelation for me in the '70's. It wasn't recorded by the Biharis I don't think but was issued on Crown. The version of Blue Lou is probably my favorite Wardell solo. It seems copies of this sold at a bit of a premium for awhile, even when still in shrink wrap with a 99 cent sticker in place.

If you want to stick your foot in the water on theses you can try this release:
http://www.allmusic.com/album/in-session-great-rhythm-blues-r598370/review
which can be had on Amazon for $3.50 new.
I agree with what Stereo Jack said, otoh, I really like the 3 Richard Berry cuts which lead off the cd.

Hi Jim, sent a sum via Paypal.

Pitchers. Bah.
No idea what this specifically refers to...
Refers to Matt Harrison going along swimmingly, like his head's in a good place, which means he's got his game all the way on, and then out of nowhere walking two and then throwing up a three run gopher ball, anf then immediately thereafter returning us to our regularly scheduled programming, like nothing ever happened.
That was extra special because the gopher ball was hit by the 9th place hitter. There are some guys who are just famous for doing what you described, and yet I can't name a single one right now. The brain sometimes has a great way of forgetting pain. 
Loopy lefty Matt Young lost game 3-1 in 1992 while with the Red Sox, an 8 inning no hitter, 7 walks, 6 strikeouts.
-
He hit 40 or more dingers in the 60's in 6 seasons and had 39 in 1966 (and 42 in 1959), I'd imagine no else had more 40 home run seasons for that decade. The Red Sox announcers (Ken Coleman and ?) always made a point of saying his popups were "major league".
Oops, Hank Aaron had 7 40 HR seasons in the 1960's.
-
Well I have seen enough of Adrian Gonzalez and I no longer curse the day the Red Sox didn't get Mark Texeira. After that brutal start the Bosox are just 2.5 games out of first. Maybe a little lost in the shuffle, Ortiz is off to his best start in quite a few years. In the meantime, looks like I'll get a chance to see Lackey and Matsuzaka in Pawtucket in the coming days. Is there a pitcher more difficult to watch in the majors than Dice-K?

I mailed an lp to Germany about 3 weeks ago at a cost of $13.18. I believe the trip took about 10 days.

Never heard him play, but if he can't act then he has fooled a lot of people for a very long time.
-
Haven't seen this release, does Davis play bari, tenor, or both? I personally prefer him on baritone.
-
I am sure its been alluded to on this board elsewhere, but I believe that we have Disney (among others) to thank for our Mickey Mouse treatment of copyright here in the USA.

Of course I can't say with 100% certainty Len, but, I believe you are looking for Worcester, Worchester.

Happy Birthday Ubu!

Baritone sax man Glenn Wilson and guitarist Rory Stuart will be spending the day at Connecticut College in New London next Friday. They will end the day with a concert at 7 pm. As a longtime fan of both I will be attending. If anyone else is in the area it will be $10 well spent. You will recognize me as the out of place looking middle age guy.

Very much today's theme:

Great link, particularly enjoyed the mention of Girls On Heroin, yeah.

Amazon is presently (April 5, 2011) offering the Nat Cole Hip-O Select 3-CD boxed set for $14.60.
Riffin': The Decca, JATP, Keynote, and Mercury Recordings
Thanks for the heads up on this one, free two day shipping with Amazon Prime to boot. My copy came today.

Regarding the 1943 Carnegie concert on vinyl, would the issue to look for be the Book of the Month Club? When I saw the thread title I 1st thought of the 1948 ban as Ben Webster was briefly back and I don't think there are any commercial recordings to document his second, short stay with Ellington.
Hey Ken, you are up early.

I'm in. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for all the responses. I won't be bidding for the lp, I was just curious about the label. I'll keep an eye out for the Zim reissue.
