Yes, pretty darned good stuff, isn't it. PEE WEE! I have it on vinyl for many years. YES ! It is pretty darned good. I'm curious about the 4 extra tracks, although there is no doubt in my mind I'll dig them.

The Company Of Strangers by Robert Wilson. WWII espionage. I previously read and enjoyed A Small Death In Lisbon by the same author. Similar subject matter.

I agree that Thornel is underated. He was a great and interesting player. One question. The Jimmy Smith Respect album - I haven't listened in awhile and I don't remember if there is more than one "band" or more than one guitarist, but I know that's Eric Gayle on a major portion, if not all of that record. I don't recall a personel listing on my vinyl - anybody have the complete personel for that record? I'm thinking Bob Bushnell, Purdie, Eric and Jimmy.

Ferrante And Teicher play the Albert Ammons and Meade Lux Lewis Songbook

Hans Groiner Plays Monk

YIKES ! But it did make me smile..........and shake my head.

Really bad news.

I'd like to get you.... ....on a slow boat to China

Yeah. Forgot that. I guess the other small group stuff is mainly RCA.

This one.

2 disc Brunswick set? The Brunswick stuff is on "Early Ellington". A 3 cd set that is out on Decca. I think it's still available.

I enjoyed the book and will definitly see the flick first chance. I think the law suit in Great Britain was settled in Dan Brown's favor. The book stores are loaded with with related "Da Vinci" material, but I haven't so far latched on to any. For those of you who read "Angels And Demons"......(also a fascinating read)...the same template, but different subject matter.

YEAH ! He caught my attention too !

LOL. I listen to them once and then eat them.

Same here. It's a superb set with some stuff you just aren't likely to find anywhere else.

Smith and Wesson Laurel and Hardy Martin and Lewis

Oscar Castro-Neves? (just the last part) Neh-vez Nico Assumpcao? (bassist) Ah-sump-cow

Nice work Mike. Thanks.

Very.

Dutch Shultz Big Frenchy Nick the Greek

LOL. It's definitely not The Sopranos of old and as I've said before - they're treading water. BUT..............I keep watching and the hour still goes by too quickly. As proof of my treading water theory: The most interesting plot development was in the previews. It looks like Johnny Sac is going to sing, and when he does - that's when we're going to get Sopranos we've been waiting for.

I had to hit null vote. Jim Sangrey has it right.

YEAH ! I"M ALRIGHT. Grassella's playing - NO Ben Dixon. I'm so used to Ben being the drummer with John Patton And G.G,. that my brain completely glossed over the fact that Grassella is A DRUMMER! OK. To correct myself - I hear differences in Grassella's playing from one chorus to the other. Also, FWIW - they play the head twice on "Got A Good Thing Goin'"

It's definitely not a splice. The horns are sustaining right through the vamp where it goes from the first chorus to the second and I hear differences in Ben Dixon's playing, particlularly on that accented part towards the end of each chorus. I think I will score the cd. I don't have Grasella's other album plus "Grass Is Greener" may be an entire "alternate" album!

Now I have an excuse to spend even MORE money on cds !
