  1. Thanks for the link, Jim. Some very cool photos there, especially the one with Rahsaan.
  2. Very cool, Dan...especially the fruit trees and all the space. Congratulations.
  3. Happy Birthday, Paul, and thank you for your contributions to the board.
  4. The problem was not there in IE. It must be Netscape.
  5. I just did the same search and entered the thread that way, and the same problems were still there. Perhaps it has something to do with my browser? I'm using the newest version of Netscape. I'll try IE and see what happens.
  6. It was in the political forum, entitled "Here's a bit of political trivia" or something like that. You should be able to get to it here: Political Trivia Or just do a search for "Nuremburg."
  7. Here's another example:
  8. I was looking at an old thread and noticed that a message Greg posted had my user ID on it. Another post, by Simon Weil, had Use3D's user ID on it. Could this be indicative of a serious problem with the board software? Here's a screen shot:
  9. I don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but CD Universe has this available for pre-order. The price looks good, too.
  10. Welcome back!
  11. Just pulled the trigger on the Tristano/Konitz/Marsh set, and ordered the Bennie Green and Randy Weston Selects along with. And the backlog grows...
  12. I don't know about the LP reproduction series, but I got a VME from BMG in a jewel case, instead of the usual digipack. I've never been a fan of digipacks, but I felt like I'd somehow been robbed.
  13. 'Round Midnight On Green Dolphin Street The Dolphin Stardust Tenderly
  14. I once asked my wife what she'd do with my CD's if I died, and much to my surprise, she said she'd have a hard time selling them, just because they were mine. She doesn't like most of the music I have, so I was pretty shocked. I'll probably put detailed instructions on what to do with my collection in my will, but that's just so that when it all gets sold, my wife will be able to get help selling it, and for the best possible price.
  15. Gerry Mulligan Concert (Jazz) Band. That was a couple months ago. I suppose I should open it one of these days.
  16. I ordered the Sam Rivers, Curtis Fuller and Blue Mitchell sets all at the same time, if I remember correctly. Or maybe it was Rivers/Fuller/Mobley. I can't remember now.
  17. It's extremely rare that I would buy a used copy of an in print title. I'm pretty uptight about this, for some reason...It might be because I feel more comfortable knowing that I'm the only person that ever touched the CD. Since most of my CD's get made into mp3's as soon as I buy them, they generally remain in immaculate condition, which makes me feel better.
  18. Welcome back! Where ya been?
  19. Thanks for posting those, Clinton. I suppose now that I've lived here for a few years, maybe I should break myself away from the computer and go check them out.
  20. I don't have the box, but the album she did with Cal Tjader (which is in the box) is a nice one that I come back to often. Let us know what you think of the box - the Tjader album has definitely got me interested in hearing more.
  21. stick around for a week and you get the idea of who posts a lot and who doesn't even without the post count... With that much time, you'd be able to figure out very easily who posts a lot just to inflate their post count.

    Why I hate Miles

    I definitely understand what couw is saying. In terms of technique and sound, I can think of several other trumpet players I'd rather listen to. I find that I listen to Miles more for the ideas and for his sidemen than I do for Miles himself. I have several of the Miles box sets (Prestige, Davis/Coltrane, Blackhawk, Plugged Nickel, 65-68, In A Silent Way, Bitches Brew), but when I pause to think about great songs or solos, I can't think of any where Miles is the key factor. Again, for me, it's all about the ideas or the sum of the bandmembers, and not Miles himself. There's a lot of innovation and great music there, but if I want to listen to a great trumpeter, I'd rather listen to Diz, Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, Charles Tolliver, or a number of other players.
  23. I like it, and I think it's helpful to newcomers to the board as well. I like being able to see who contributes a lot to the boards I visit, and to see why they have a lot to say.
  24. Never had coffee before, but sometimes I add half and half to hot chocolate.
  25. They're not the best pictures in the world, but I posted a few pictures that I took of Andrew Hill in this thread: Iowa City Jazz Festival
