    is this a download you are talking about ? If so how is the sound quality?
  3. I'm curious too. I just listened to my copy last night for the first time and would agree with what others have said about the sound and the content. Both are very good. There are a couple of places where the audience is clapping after some of the solos and the sound of the clapping seems real loud to me, a bit jarring to my ears. It's a tiny complaint of mine because otherwise it's excellent. I need to relisten to Stella for this darkly funny business. I think I get what Jim was getting at and I agree with him. Compare this version of STella with the celebrated version on My Funny Valentine in 1964. IT seems to me that Miles decided at Monterey not to play this as a beautiful ballad and that he takes many opportunities to confound listener's expectations of what a Miles ballad should be on this tune. I hear some real off-hand sort of I don't care almost hostility towards the tune. But it works and I like it and I like the whole cd.
  4. Welcome to New York!!!
  5. that's the Search I am clicking on but I still get Amazon in the box that opens and my search options area is partially obscured by this. try it and does it happen to you
  6. after my recent problem on ebay - I was wondering if it makes more sense to purchase using paypal. Their website says it is free, but others have told me it is not. Any comments on pros and cons appreciated.
  7. I tried a search today, but was unable to search in the forums - it appears you can only search in Amazon.
  8. I got this one too. THe sound quality is hardly audiophile but the music really shines through with great performances. Love it.
  9. I picked up Ezz-thetics because I love that album. The sound is definitely clearer and brighter, may be too much so for some- but I like it.
  10. I have seen this band many times but may miss this gig. I love them and sounds like you saw a great show!
  11. ON further reflection : I am thinking that while his comments in reply to my negative feedback I think show this guy to be pretty bad and my comments in my negative feedback and in reply to his negative feedback would make it clear that this guy is an ass - the problem is that the comments disappear after 90 days, right? So then I am merely left with a feed back history that shows one negative for me but no one is able to look at the comments to see how unreasonable the other guy was. Again I am inclined to leave it, but this is making me think twice. Everyone who I have asked in person about this says go for withdrawal - but as I said I think this guy deserves the negative and I am pissed about what he put me through. I suppose the issue is my desire to keep my 100% rating versus my responsibility to let other ebayers know about this guy. Any further thoughts are appreciated.
  12. thanks guys for all of your great advice. I think I am still inclined to let things stand.
  13. A few weeks ago, I finally got my refund from this jerk. But I decided to give him negative feedback in which I stated that it took the guy 5 weeks to issue a refund promised in "a few days" and that I lost all trust in this seller. He in turn gives me negative feedback saying that I am too impatient as a buyer and a "liar" and that the first refund check was "lost in the mail" Now I get a message from ebay saying the jerk wants to mutually withdraw the feedback. I am not inclined to do so because nothing I said was untrue. Of course his is all lies. I have only operated as a buyer on ebay and have made few transactions, his negative rating of me dropped me down to 87%. The seller has thousands of sales. Again I am not inclined to withdraw because what I said is true, but will this hurt me more than it does him? Any opinions appreciated.
  14. anyone have any comments on these releases: music and sound quality?
  15. These are Japanese mini lps 1)The Charlie Parker Story CY-78990 2)The Genius of Charlie Parker CY-78991 3The Immortal Charlie Parker CY-78983 4)Charlie Parker Memorial Vol 1 CY-78982 5)Charlie Parker Memorial Vol 2 CY-78984 One big caveat, although these are mini-lps they were cut very slightly and separated front to back to fit inside jewel boxes and that is how they are now (in jewel boxes), so some minimal artwork was lost (about 1/4 inch) from the front covers - although pretty much none of the back covers with the song titles and info is gone. I also have the obi strips. The cds themselves are in excellent condition with no scratches or fingerprints. $10.00 each.
  16. Are you going aloc? I may be in town for that gig.
  17. I picked it up because you guys recommended it. So far listened to the live tracks and they are fine - not earth shatteringi - sort of what I expected. One bit of confusion - the liner notes say that the live tracks weren't issued because Tony's cymbals weren't miked - but I am hearing his cymbals - what am I missing?
  18. Best wishes to you Lon and your wife.
  19. What's the consensus on this one? Doesn't seem to be generating much excitement.
  20. what can be said but the obvious - one of the greatest directors of all time or that there ever will be. what a loss.
  21. I paid via postal money order - so I get no help from credit card.
  22. Thanks everyone for your very helpful suggestions!! I may not be able to use the dispute process because I think it has a 60 day time limit from date of sale, doesn't it. the problem is that I made this purchase with the understanding that it would ship within 30 days and I waited about 45 days before asking for a refund , and then I was told the check was on the way and before I knew it 60 days were up. Am I out of luck there? Although it has not been 60 days since I requested a refund. I think I have 90m days to give feedback however. Now the guy is telling me to call him on the phone.. is that a good idea?
  23. After viewing the video - I have to say that although Jarrett said it in rather over the top fashion I basically agree with him. IT is not clear whether they had already started playing or not, but am I the only one who gets annoyed at concerts by photographers constantly making the clicking noises with the lens shutters and the lights flashing. What about the photographers that think it is ok to get between you the spectator and the band so that they can get the shot. Anyone got the Neil Young at Massey Hall? He says exactly the same thing except no four letter words. I have seen other jazz artists at concerts saying basically the same thing. I think Jarrett's statement while overly aggressive protects the audience.
  24. I ordered some baseball cards on Ebay and the offer said if the cards do not ship in 30 days you can get a full refund. I waited 45 days and the cards were not shipped so then asked for my refund. The seller said it would arrive in " a few days". After about a week when I did not get the refund, I emailed the seller again who said he was waiting for my address. I found this strange since I supplied all of that when I made the order. So I gave it again and two weeks later he says will send it soon. I still did not get it. Now he says it was mailed last week (more than 7 days ago) and perhaps it is lost in the mail. It has been 1 month since I first requested the refund. I have now told the seller I plan to basically give him the most negative feedback and his response was don't threaten him or else he will do the same to me and that I will not be happy with the consequences. MY question is: should I go ahead and give the negative feedback or if I do that will it lessen or increase my chances of getting my refund? Any advice is much appreciated.
