click on options in the upper right corner of the fist post in some thread; change display mode from outline to normal; this happens often when you have entered organissimo via google... thanks Niko

I guess I am out of the loop, but why is it now that all replies are shown in a way that you have to click on them to read. Is there a way to get it back to just scrolling down to read all the replies to a topic?

sorry but I just got one and it's the same old (bad) cover.

At the Cuny Graduate center in Manhattan. Very interesting, and done as sort of a historical overview of his career with a focus on records and a few musical examples played including a stunning unreleased solo performance from the late 80s. Interestingly when Giddins played a couple of minutes of his solo on the studio recording"there's no business like show business" - the audience applauded but Rollins was looking unccomfortable and was sweating, mopping his brow. Rollins said he was glad the audience liked it, but he found it "excruciating" - was the term I believe he used. Giddins asked why and Rollins replied more or less "because I think I could have done so much better" a persistent theme in the discussion. The discussion was good at times pegged way below what most Rollins fans would expect and at times above what the novice would really understand. No signs of Chris A. or Clem (a big Giddins fan! ) not that I would recognize him. Interestingly enough, most of the people sitting around me seemed relatively ignorant about Rollins - so much for sophisticated New Yorkers.

Welcome to ny - the land where enforcement does not exist.

Happy Birthday :party: :party:

I would love to see those Inner City releases out on cd. But, and I am a big fan, my all time favorite Krivda are two live Cadence albums still not released on cd from the early 80s. These are: "Tough Tenor - Red Hot" and "Well You Needn't" great playing, the tunes seem to me to be more slightly more inventive than his current crop amd I think this was his best band ever.

Thanks for bringing this up Big Al. Given the huge number of posts that were generated before this set came out, I am, as usual, surprised by how little discussion has occurred since its release. Like you, I am underwhelmed. It has some great moments, but overall I was not crazy about it. But I would love to hear what others think.

Have a great one

Probably a good guess - thanks FFA.

I was listening to one of my favorite Joe Henderson cds "The State of the Tenor" vol 2 and was reading Michael Cuscuna's liner notes in which he says "...Don Sickler began transcribing the tunes and adapting them to this spartan instrumentation." I find this statement curious. For the record, the tunes on this cd (Vol.2) are either Joe's own ("Y Yo La Quiero" "The Bead Game") or else classics by Monk (Boo Boo's Birthday) Bird (Cheryl) Horace Silver ("Soulville") Mingus ("Portrait") Kern ("All the Things you are") Wouldn't Henderson and Ron Carter have likely to have been very familiar with these tunes? And the versions here of the "heads" don't sound different from countless other versions of these tunes. I had just assumed the guys knew the tunes already, played the head at the beginning and end, and in the middle do their improvisations. So I am not trying to knock Don Sickler here, but I really am curious as to what his "transcribing" was supposedly doing? PS. I should point out that I do understand what is meant by transcribing tunes off of records - that you are listening and then writing down the notes, but again I would be surprised if these guys needed this to be done for these tunes.

I'd put "Knife in the Water" and "Last Tango in Paris" high on the list

Have a great one

Neal was the piano player for the house band at a jazz club/bar in Cleveland for the better part of the 1980s. I spent many an enjoyable hour there-top flight jazz.

thanks everyone for your help on this!

thanks Marcello for your helpful response

I have a scanner but I doubt it can print from negatives (and yes I am talking about negatives not undeveloped film)- do you know if all scanners can do this? I also have the impression that printing from negatives gives a superior image to scanning negatives and then printing from them - do you have an opinion on that? anyway, I don't want to buy a new scanner just for a few rolls of negatives. But thanks for the creative idea.

anyone still have negatives from cameras that used 110 film? I have not found anyone who will develop it unless for an exorbitant price. This film is about half the size of 35mm and previous prints were not exactly pristine - is this film or the cameras that used it probably inherently inferior and therefore any prints would not exactly be sharp?

He wants a 3/4 size because the regular is too big. Basic options in that size and our price range ($100-$150) is a Fender Squire and Ibanez (not sure what the model name is). I played them both in a store and seemed ok. Probably an impossible question- but for you guitarists out there familiar with the current scene ( I owned a Les Paul 30 years ago) would you recommend one over the other?

I have the following for sale - all are Sony Mastersound DSD editions: Miles in Berlin (SRCS 9708) mini lp Miles in Tokyo (SRCS 9746) mini lp -gatefold Seven Steps to Heaven (SRCS 9755) mini lp Four And More (SRCS 9707) jewel case My Funny Valentine (SRCS 9706) jewel case Miles Davis in Europe (SRCS 9756) jewel case all remasterings done in 2000 or 2001 These are all in excellent condition and I have the OBI strips. $15 each delivered, insured to a US address. Take them all for $14 each.

I picked this box up a couple of days ago. Like others have said, the outer box had several major dents concealed by the paper on the back, so I did not notice until I opened it. I won't be returning it because I suspect that given the thinness of the metal a lot of the boxes will be dented. As for the liner notes, I am somewhat disappointed - many of the pages don't have much text and what text is there I did not find too compelling. Buckmaster - I expected much more than he delivered. As for the music, I have listened through disc 4 and have found the music to be alternately fantastic and boring - but it is too soon for a final judgement at this moment. (I must admit I was not too thrilled by this music when it first came out.)

I agree it should have been 1 disc since the tunes are pretty much identical. It's low fi but Gram's voice is recorded well, but the only instruments you hear are bass, drums and pedal steel - so I am wondering where the other guitars and instruments are. It sounds a bit stark and spare and not as rich a the studio recordings sound to me anyway.

Congratulations to CC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dan have you noticed any of the "spotting" issues that I have raised above?

do you mean they were rendered unplayable or just marked up?
