  1. Most interesting/favorite 'Wayne Shorter' BN

    in Artists

    Posted

    This one is impossible to answer. I had to select one so I chose "Juju," but I could easily have selected four or five others. "Adam's Apple" is a current favorite right now. Shorter was so consistent that it is unfair to select any single cd. It would be like trying to pick a favorite Grant Green. (OK, Tom, your next poll...) B)

  9. eBay craziness... again

    Regarding Ebay: Have you guys noticed the seller with the name of Baylor? He must have a supply of about 50 copies of Hill, "Black fire," "Judgment" and "Smokestack." They are always sealed and he gets $20-25 for them. If he released em all at one time the price would collapse! He's very clever about doling out his stuff in measure.

    Don't know where he gets his stuff but he seems to have a warehouse full of Conns all sealed and in multiple copies.

  11. Hardest Blue Note cds to find.

    What about Lee Morgan's "The Rajah"? Took me a long time to find a copy of this one!

    I picked up a copy of Raja fairly easy for cheap and had no idea that it is hard to find. I am getting that impression now as I read these posts. Come to think of it, I've never found another one.

    Tom: $53 on ebay? Man, my spending limit is around $20-25. My addiction takes me only so far. Of course, that is why I still do not own, Andrew Hill, "Black Fire," Judgment, or "Smokestack" though they appear constantly on ebay. I simply have a spending limit. If the price gets bid up beyond $20 range then I feel I am taking too great a risk of spending big money for something that could be reissued at any time.

    "Sonic Boom" will be reissued long before I am willing to spend $50 to buy it.

  12. Grant Green: Final Comedown

    Thanks for sharing your opinion, Ed.

    Based on your comments and those of others, I'm not going to pick up the cd. I want Grant Green recordings, not stuff which feature Green, unless it is headed by Big John P. or Horace Parlan and so on.

    Grant Green was awesome in my opinion, and he's good even when he's not at his best.

    Ok everyone,

    Like most of us here, I'm a big Blue Note collector. What, in your opinion, are the most difficult Blue Note cds to find?

    We'll probably get a variety of opinions here, and who knows the right answers, but I'll venture a few:

    Lee Morgan, "Sonic Boom"

    Lee Morgan, "Delightfullee" (still looking for this bugger)

    Hank Mobley "Slice of the Top"

    Those are the ones I'm still looking for anyway. I've got the Mobley, but it took forever to get it (thanks again, Tom!!) :g

    Want to hear about others.

    You guys are making me wonder if I should give it another try. Too bad I no longer own the set.

    I have ended up by rebuying stuff that I had discarded after one or two cursory spins. Some of them I grew to like; others never grew on me.

    Another disappointing cd for me is Freddie Roach, "Good Move." I love jazz organ, but aside from a couple of songs, I could not get into this disc.

    I thought "Complete Don Wilkerson Blue Note Recordings" was a real clinker. Talk about uninspiring play! The man seems devoid of ideas. I bought the set because of Grant Green, but I couldn't imagine that the tenor player would be so boring.

    I dumpled the cds as quickly as if I had picked up a snapping turtle in a pond.

    Damn, my hand is still sore.

  18. What is your biggest music related D'oh!?

    I just did a big "Duhhh!" in that this evening I became the proud winning bidder on ebay of an item I already own. I emailed the seller and told him that i would fulfil my obligations and send him the money, and he graciously said that he would relist it.

    I thought it was another title and not the one I already owned.

    Okay everyone: together: "DUHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

  21. Ground Rules?

    Personally, it wouldn't bother me should anyone wish to offer cd-roms for trade. I don't collect cd-roms myself and the few I have will be replaced by cds once they become available, but it doesn't bother me in the slightest should others wish to publicize their wants. This is not a Blue Note sponsored board, so we don't have to worry about ruffling any corporate feathers.

    Ah, Soul Stream, it seems you love Big John's music as much as I do. I happen to like some of his lesser known stuff like "That Certain Feeling" and "Memphis to NY Spirit." Patton and Blood Ulmer were made for each other. And Grant Green too!
