That would seem to me to put one in good stead here on Liberalissimo. Other than his anti-semitism, his politics seemed to be in line with most posters here. I thought it was the conservatives or the fascists that really upset the people on this Board. Who would have thought it would be someone from the left????

Don't forget to check out that place where Sam Rivers plays

John McLaughlin "My Goal's Beyond" second side

This single disc cd covers the period of 1937-49 and includes the famous "Victory Ball" and "Overtime" jam sessions featuring Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, and Fats Navarro jamming on the same tracks, including alternate takes of each. Also various jam sessions with Charlie Christian, Count Basie, Bunny Berigan and more. this cd is out of print to my knowledge. $15.000 delivered to US address.

dmitry, sorry to hear you are leaving. What was it that finally soured you on NYC?

George Russell put some big bands together and wrote some marvelous music for them!

Well now that you changed it to Bullwinkle - I think I like the old one better, but hey since Chris A. is complimenting Berigan the world is coming to an end, so what's the difference??????????????? At least the world is ending on a happy note.

THIS CAN ONLY MEAN THAT THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh shit, I can't see any difference ...looks like the same old avatar to me. What am I missing??? (Don't answer that Chris A.)

I am talking about those cds with the little brushes that purport to clean the lens. God it's dusty here in the Apple. some people swear by these, other say more harm than good. what sayeth Organissimo?

It most certainly is and it is a Criterion release with tons of extras. I love this film, but it is not for everyone.

It seems to me that a number of posters have said that the RVGs improved a lot in sound quality in the last few years, does anyone remember which batch that started on?

And don't forget, both Joe Lovano and Paul Motian are on the new Paul Motian Trio cd

I expected Disc #3 to be much worse than it actually is given Cuscuna's comments in the liner notes and some comments on this board. I just don't think the heads are played that badly or else I am not noticing, but it certainly doesn't jump out at me. I am, for the most part, enjoying disc #3 too!!

I just picked this one up and I have to say: How could I have been so stupid not to get this one earlier? (Don't answer that Chris A.) This is a killer cd. (I guess I had just got burned out on all of those Celebrating - you fill in the blank cds.) Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One thing that I am noticing - the sound quality on the extra tracks does not seem as good as the main tracks.

I say keep the Politics Forum - just rename it the "Liberalissimo Forum" - that's spanish for very liberal (right EKE BBB?)

Sounds a bit less veiled to me and that presentation is a bit more three dimensional as opposed to flat. I feel like row 3 as opposed to row 20 so to speak. It's subtle but I hear it. Also some of the instruments tone is just a bit more full and real to me.

Well I can certainly hear differences and I think the new ones are an improvement. whether you think so can depend on your stereo system and your tastes.

I did not like and much prefer his work with the Paul Motion Trio. This one just screams " I can be eclectic and mix all kinds of musics" I don't think all kinds of musics mix, but if you do, you might like it.

Happy Birthday Wesbed!

I've only heard a bit of Johnny Smith, but I am not sure I understand your post. Are you saying that the tone or sound of of most Jazz guitar was worse in the 50's thanks to Johnny Smith or worse today as Allen is saying? Am I correct in assuming the Sweet Little Sixteen you reference is the guitar of Chuck Berry?

Leaves me cold, there are so many superior Jim Hall cds to this one.

I love Mercedes Sosa, and now Brownie will say that he thinks I don't understand a word of it.

Well Moose, Here's my suggestion, listen to John McLaughlin's electric guitar from his Miles period and then listen to "After the Rain" under his own name or other cds he has made in the last decade, compare the tone of the guitar, which sounds more like a real guitar to you or which tone do you prefer? compare the tone on John Scofield's cd "Time on My Hands" or some other cd from that period to your Wes Montgomery cds, I think you will hear a big difference, as to what you like better, I guess it will just be personal preference. I am saying that since electric guitarists can add so many tone altering devices it can seriously change the sound of the instrument.
