I have internet explorer version 6.

When I hit the reply button after reading a private message, i don't get a box to enter text and can't figure out how to do it. Anyone clue me in on what I am doing wrong?

As others have mentioned here I love the Spaces album and think it is very underrated and rather singular in that it doesn't fit the usual fusion record at all to me. Not sure what you mean JSangrey when you call it "wildly undisciplined" - I don't hear that so please clue me in?

I am somewhat disappointed in the Horace Silver Trio RVG. I did not have it before and I am a big fan, but he appears on this disc not to have yet emerged from an overwhelming Bud Powell influence, not that Bud is a bad influence, but you might as well go to the source. Anyone else agree?

I can't add much to what others have already said, but I wanted to say this is a favorite of mine. It's just to perfect in every way: the melodies, the voices, the instruments. I can't imagine it being done any better. One of the best jazz/bossa nova albums ever!

Happy Birthday Lon!

I like a lot of what has already been mentioned. But, I am surprised Keith Jarrett is not mentioned more in this thread. One could argue he was the dominant new jazz artist of the 70's with the Solo Concerts, and the American and European Quartets - whether you liked him or not, he was at or near the top. I think he made some great contributions.

Well I picked it up and while the playing is marvelous, the fidelity of the recording is one of the worst live recordings I have ever heard. This has about the same sound quality as Bird at the Roost. Apparently done by Kurt Lundvall - this is a real shame because it so detracts from some great music.

Fans of Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, Does anyone else feel that the sax solo on Why do Fools fall in Love is one of the worst, perhaps inappropriate because it has nothing to do with the melody that went before and afterwards. It could have been phoned in. It has nothing to do with the tune.

I love a lot of Haden's playing especially with Ornette and with Jarrett. I actually like Quartet West quite a bit, at least the first 3 releases and then it did get a bit formulaic. I can see why some only like the first one. I think Broadbent and Watts are fine for this concept and Larance Marable, what's not to like. I saw this band live at the Catalina Bar and Grill in LA in the mid 90's and they just killed the whole audience. fantastic.

I love these Changes One and Two albums also. I do think that spirit was carried over nicely into the wonderful Don Pullen/George Adams quartet, which I was fortunate enough to see live and man did they play. One of the greatest jazz bands of the 80's.

Hey Joe, Thanks for bringing up Ernie Krivda, my homeboy is definitely a TDWR, as downbeat likes to say. I love his Cadence LPs : tough tenor/red hot, and Well you Needn't

This music sounds locked in a time warp and nobody does it today, but I like a lot of it. I mean tunes such as: Why do fools fall in love? Since I don't Have you Smoke Gets in your Eyes Only You etc.,etc. It would seem antithetical to much of what I like in music, but yet when I put it on or when it happens to come on and others reach for the off switch - I practically wrestle them to the ground.

Does anyone know if the Blue Trane will be the exact same remastering as on the hybrid CD/SACD that was recently released or will it be different?

John McLaughlin - My Goal's Beyond

Calling Miss Khadija!! Now that's one great blues head.

Some of you may have already seen this french film which features a lot of jazz and an in club performance by Urtreger, Humair, Michelot - I think - the credits went by fast. It is not a documentary and not about jazz but the lead character is clearly a fan. You will get jazzed by his marvelous jazz photo collection as the camera pans the walls.

Well Brad, As I have said before, this a one great CD and I think it is one of the best of Stitt's career. I play this one quite a bit.

I saw this one a couple of weeks ago and liked it very much, sort of a thinking man's apocalyptic zombie movie. Warning to inhabitants of New York and Washington, DC: the possibilities this movie presents may be too disturbing for some viewers.

Congrats Tony. They are little treasures, aren't they?

I guess it is too obvious, but my all time fav is BB King's "Live at the Regal" Goosebumps every time.

Thanks everyone for your recs which I intend to pursue. What about John Renbourn's "Sir John a Lot"?

Thanks Simon and Michael for your recs, Simon, yes the majority of the album John Barleycorn by Traffic is electric and not folkish at all, but the particular track of the same name is not electric - Sounds like just acoustic instruments to me. That is the sound I am looking for.

I was listening to the marvelous John Barleycorn Must Die by Traffic the other day and it sparked a vague memory that I was exposed to either Pentangle or Fairport Convention in the late 60's/early 70's and quite liked some of it. I am looking for the British folk music aspect, not electric stuff! Isn't some of it like John Barleycorn (I mean that particular track- not the whole LP, of course I love the whole LP)? Can anyone make any suggestions for cds with some explanations as to what it would be sounding like?

I know it is a bit late, but I wanted to say I am a big fan of this album.
