...whooooohooooo....congrats indeed!

...have you lost weight?

I've seen him a few times in the past couple years.....always good! m~

...just saw Wayne last night with the Ben Riley band....very, very good!

.....agreed!

Marcus will be playing in Indy for a couple nights in September...looking forward to that! m~

I too will miss the show. On the death of Marchand, that may indeed be the case. Maybe Chase really never wanted to go much beyond the twisted relationship between Tony and his mother. I always thought that part was mis-casted though. Marchand was more like an Edith Bunker than an Italian wife and mother. ...what would you know about being Italian???

...and below is some other info I received....the gillespie disc is a bonus if you buy the box...not available any other way. m~ >Hello Jazz Icons fans, > >It's been a while since you've heard from me but as the old saying goes >"all good things come to those who wait" so....... > >Here are the seven Jazz Icons DVDs (That's right SEVEN not six DVDs as I >had earlier said) > >Before I list the contents I must say we're still in the process of >clearing publishing so there's a chance of some changes but we're doing >everything we can to make sure that doesn't happen.

.......nice, congrats!

I would say this is maybe one of two Corea recordings I have. I like this one a lot but don't have much to compare it to. I'll see Chick this weekend at an outdoor festival and will post thoughts and photos later. m~

I called Mosaic yesterday. We have to wait another two weeks untill this set will be available. Just as well, I suppose. I called Mosaic again and got the same answer: we'll have to wait another 1-2 weeks. I received an email today telling me this has finally shipped!!! 'bout time!

I LOVE THIS THREAD!!!

...jj is the man!

...ipod, every man/women for themselves!!! m

..we'll be seeing a slightly different version of this band in Chicago...including Jeremy Pelt and Jimmy Spaulding....cannot wait!!! m~

The bigger issue to me it the quantity of music (I know the quality of the music will be good) on the cd....the Green is maybe 35 minutes, the Monk barely breaks 30 minutes. If you're going to put out the cd...put some damn music on it!!! m~

..also not a record store but I was in the Jazz Kitchen a while back and a nice african american lady asked if Delfeayo Marsalis was "Winston's son"....

...I have to work both days and live 180 miles away.... so I won't be catching either. But will see some of them at Vision Fest in a couple weeks!!! m~

Sorry, I should have make that clear..... I'm Peter Williams, the artistic director at Yoshi's.

Thanks for clearing that up....who are you???

I'd LOVE to know about the status of his TV soundtracks, and if any of these might ever be released. EDIT: Even if they can't be released for contractual reasons, I'd like to know if his family at least has the isolated scores of any of these shows on tape. Thanks, I'll ask him and get back with you. m~

You hit it there, Clem. I can only think of one - Lloyd Wilson - and I can't be sure of his age. I saw him in 1990 and I guess he was in his early thirties then. And even then, I was astounded to come across a young black organist! MG ...Chris Foreman~

I'm going to see Oliver's son play this Saturday night. A great guy, fine musician and fun to talk to. If anyone has a question that they have always wanted to know, let me know and I'll ask. Mark~

....it was Bronson!
