LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Neither the Godfather nor 007 can top Rhett Butler when it comes to being the most quotable character in the movies. "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn," the rakish Butler's famous line from the 1939 classic "Gone With the Wind," as spoken by Clark Gable, was named the most memorable movie quote in a poll by the American Film Institute. Results were released on Tuesday in a television show that aired on the CBS network. "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse" from 1972's "The Godfather" was No. 2, and Marlon Brando, who spoke those words, also claimed No. 3 with his line from 1954's "On the Waterfront:" "You don't understand! I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I could've been somebody instead of a bum, which is what I am." The American Film Institute, a top U.S. film education group, annually conducts a poll of favorite movie moments, genres and characters. This year, AFI asked some 1,500 creative industry professionals for their favorite quote. "They get into our (everyday language)," said AFI director Jean Picker Firstenberg. "They become a common language that we all can relate to and empathize with." Judy Garland as Dorothy in 1939's "The Wizard of Oz" telling her little dog, "Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore," came in at No. 4. Completing the top five was Humphrey Bogart as nightclub owner Rick Blaine from 1942's "Casablanca" with: "Here's looking at you kid." The top 100 quotes were dominated by classic movies, with the most recent from 1983's "Sudden Impact," in which Clint Eastwood, playing tough cop "Dirty" Harry Callahan, tells a crook, "Go ahead, make my day." That quote came in at No. 6. Super spy 007's "Bond, James Bond" from 1962's "Dr. No," which starred Sean Connery, landed at No. 22. Firstenberg said quotes from classic films most likely topped the list because it took a long time for the sayings to work their way into popular culture, but once they do, the words tend to stick around for decades.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

Horace Silver - Live 1964 Released on the Emerald label. It's a great live date w/ Joe Henderson, Carmell Jones, Teddy Smith, and Roger Humphries.

I like Booker Ervin on Prestige. Exultation! is another great session! The complete Booker Ervin Prestige sessions - would be a great Mosaic (see Fantasy/Mosaic thread!)!

Another Clef/Verve Fifties Basie auction with one day to go. $122 and the reserve price is not yet met.

The single disc is enough. There are not many more surprises in the box! I sold mine on eBay but still have the single CD.

Voted for that one too. I like his earlier impulse! and Atlantic recordings lot more.

This one is still available?! It is a great CD. Bauer's only session as a leader. Highly recommended.

A new release of Charlap is always on my short list.

Got my copy today. That was fast. Thanks Chuck.

Well, the amazon price is of lesser interest. But CAIMAN will make us an offer very soon ... -_-

amazon.de - Count Basie Euro Version

Street date for the european version is tomorrow (June 14th)!

You already have this one? Pssst! Insider tip!!! Maybe the next set on the running low list. And it is soooooooooooooooo beautiful!!!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Kevin.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch!!!

Lennie Tristano - The new Tristano (Atlantic Mono, white fan) Gil Evans Orchestra - Into the hot (impulse Mono original)

They are! Released in 1997.

Here is another one: Don Grolnick - Complete BN sessions

GRANT GREEN THE COMPLETE QUARTETS WITH SONNY CLARK Still in print. A great set.

The Chico Hamilton Quintet in Hi-Fi (Pacific, deep groove original) Perfect!!! next: The Mastersounds play Horace Silver (Pacific) Soul-o cello - Fred Katz (Decca)

***** (Five stars from me too!) I have the 2LP set, together with "Jazz goes to Junior College", which is also very good. Brubeck time, Time out, and Time further out are my favorites.

Manipulation? In which way can Mosaic manipulate? They have a limited quantity of a set (e.g. 5000) and like to sell this quantity in a limited time frame. If it is on the running low or last chance list or just released, nobody is forced to buy a set. Well, ... almost nobody!

Well, it is the wrong place to post this but I have to say that it is a long time since I really dig into a Mosaic set. I have 60+ Mosaics (Selects included) but I prefer more and more single releases (on lp or cd)! Am I seriously ill?!
