[Bill Frisell "Unspeakable"]

I did not like and much prefer his work with the Paul Motion Trio.

This one just screams " I can be eclectic and mix all kinds of musics"

I don't think all kinds of musics mix, but if you do, you might like it.

But this is more of a return for Frisell, not a try at something new. What I've heard of it I've liked, but I have yet to buy it.

[Blue Notes Going OOP]

What I don't understand is that in this day and age Blue Note doesn't just say that though they will no longer make the CDs, they will be available for download at iTunes or another comparable site. As a matter of fact, isn't it about time that they created their own download service?

[Borders Coupons]

I just got this the other day:

It's good 7/9-7/12.

[Derek Trucks Band]

I bought it from iTunes the other day. I am really enjoying this disc. Lots of great playing from all of the band, especially Derek. I think he's becoming a great player. I was surprised about how the disc is being sold, only on iTunes and from his site. Is this the future of music selling?

[Renee Rosnes]

Yeah, Randy mentions that Howard Alden Concord date TAKE YOUR PICK - I'm generally not much of a Concord Jazz kind of guy but that one is really good. Lew Tabackin, Rosnes, Alden, and a wonderful array of tunes including a couple by Herbie Nichols. Well worth a listen.

Add me to those who enjoy her playing, along with everyone else's, on Take Your Pick

[Hot Stove League Thread]

Yeah, I really have mixed feelings about this. I'm a Yankee fan, but I worry about competitive balance and the future of the game. To have one team in such a superior financial position than all the rest isn't good for any sport.

[Love John Kirby!]

me too!

Yeah! I was a big fan of his Kamandi, Mr. Miracle and the New Gods stuff back in the day.

[*** John Scofield ***]

Although the recent jam-band stuff isn't my cup of tea, I've been a big Sco fan for ages. Just to demonstrate my great age, the first time I saw him live was 27 years ago! He was playing with Gerry Mulligan in a club in New York in 1976...

My favorite incarnation is his trio with Steve Swallow. I saw the original version, with Adam Nussbaum on drums, many a time in the 80's. Nowadays he usually does an annual European tour with Swallow and Bill Stewart. They're passing through town next year, and I'll be there!

Edit: I meant next week, Sept. 12!

I read that Sco's supposed to be recording this trio sometime at the end of this year.

[American Axe-Live 1974]

Yeah, I'll have to check this out. I just started reading that biography about Roy, American Axe. I've known of him for years, but I really haven't heard any of his playing.

[Live Blues Discs]

Yeah, i've got WEST SIDE SOUL. I love it. Thanks for the info.

Various Artists: The 1968 Memphis Country Blues Festival (Sire)

Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Guy: Live Action! (Charly) - Again, reissued many times. I believe the the Sonny Boy Williamson cut included on this is actually a studio recording.

I've only included recordings I recommend. A few are out of print, but well worth looking for.

Wow, that's a great list, thanks. Let me ask you though, what's the sound like on the Magic Sam ROCKIN' WILD IN CHICAGO? I heard it's kind of rough. Is it listenable?

[Live Blues Discs]

I read that they're rereleasing that live Muddy Waters disc from the 70's. Remastered and with some additional tunes. I love the original.

[Live Blues Discs]

I've just been listening to some live blues discs that I'm lovin':

Albert Collins and the Icebreakers - LIVE '92-'93

Son Seals - LIVE AND BURNING

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - LIVE AT MONTREUX 1982&1985

Anyone have any favs or recommendations?

[2 dvd set of Led Zeppelin-5 hours +]

I think that's a misprint. I believe what they meant was that these are performances that were never released before, not filmed before.
