    Jackie McLean

    Jackie's one of my all time favorites- and those classic Blue Notes are pretty much all fantastic (I haven't heard 'Bout Soul, however), but I haven't liked a disc he has made in the last 10 or 15 years except for Nature Boy, which I think is wonderful.
  2. After thinking about it, I can't propose a better choice than John McLaughlin's Extrapolation - and it's from your side of the pond, too, couw!!!!!!!!!!!!
  3. Not sure it would be my top pick, but I like Alabama Concerto too! I so think of it as a Cannonball tour de force that I wonder if I should put it with his stuff.
  4. Hey Bebop, stop asking irrelevant questions. It's all about corporate profits!!!!
  5. when i think of Brando I think of his awesome performances in: On the Waterfront Streetcar Named Desire Last Tango In Paris The Godfather Apocalypse Now I am sure I am forgetting others but I might mention that my favorite Brando western is called "The Appaloosa" - I much prefer it to ONe-EYed Jacks. Of course he made some real stinkers and seemed to squander a lot of his talent, not unlike some of our jazz greats. Bye "Terry" - As you leave us I think you can feel as triumphant as you did in the final walk in On the Waterfront.
  6. Sorry to bring this up, but does anyone like how they sound? So far, I got "Inner Urge" and it sounds much better than the McMaster. Sweet!!!!!!!!!!
  7. I like the PS Audio power conditioners. I have the P300 but it cost about a grand now, works wonders.
  8. Your memory's half right impossible, because yes about half the tunes are as you say and more outside than Extrapolation - but there are some drop dead gorgeous ballads on this disc too - as lyrical as it gets.
  9. First there is a mountain Then there is no mountain Then there is
  10. I like Where Fortune Smiles a lot too, yes I agree it is not quite Extrapolation even though similar personnel. WFS is overlooked and I would argue very important for McLaughlin fans.
  11. I couldn't make it to the concert but I am very happy for you Dmitry, and I love your photo with Ornette!!!!
  12. Hey congrats. I am amazed you can get that good of a ticket this close to the concert. By the time I thought about it a week or so ago, I figured there weren't be any good seats left. That price is a bit steep, but hey as you said it is Ornette and I love Abby Lincoln too.
  13. No , this is not the Muddy Waters lp, this is a 1982 release featuring Wynton, Branford, and Ellis Marsalis, and Chico and Von Freeman. The LP is near mint and is probably my favorite Wynton recording. $10.00 delivered to anyplace in the US. If not in the US, contact me.
  14. Good bye Brother Ray and thanks for the music!!!!!!!!!

    Steve Lacy

    One of the more recent of the duets with Waldron came out, I want to say, not that long ago, and is called Communique and I really like that one a lot.
  16. I would consider a reasonable offer.
  17. Any list that doesn't include Tammy Wynette is just ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  18. terrible news. He is one of my favorites.
  19. Barry's highly acclaimed method for learning to improvise is distilled into 2 x 2 hour VHS casettes that come in hard shell cases and a 100 page spiral bound booklet which contains the musical concepts written out. This is a fantastic way to learn to solo and also has great ideas for comping. It's in mint condition. It sells new for $90. I am looking for $50 plus shipping.
  20. I have the following Lps: the vinyl is in mint condition no scratches, warps or fingerprints. The jackets have some split seams and wear Booklets accompany the lps are in mint condition and come in various clefs and keys for all instruments. Vol 1- Vol 2 -Nothing But the Blues Vol 3 - The II IV I Progression Vol 5 - Time to Play Music Vol 7 - Miles Davis Vol 12 - Duke Ellington Vol 13 - Cannonball Adderley Vol 21 -Gettin it Together (2 Lp set) Each Lp with Booklet is $7.00 or if you want the whole set $5.00 each. Shipping is extra.
  21. Can you use the permanent log-in cookie on computers from 2 different locations and different email addresses?
  22. I guess I don't understand life, because while I adore the Hot 5 and 7 recordings and some other 1930's Armstrong stuff, I can not stomach any of his post 1930's work. Anything with that Middleton woman, I find to be just silly and demeaning to Louis's artistry- so I don't buy it. I have owned the "California Concerts" and several All Star recordings and have sold them all. Didn't like the WC Handy and other supposed later classics. Nothing wrong with Louis's playing of course, it's just the context. But don't touch my Hot 5 and 7's box, thank you.
  23. thanks Rooster and vajerzy!!
  24. Inquiring minds want to know!!!!!
