The above reminded me of Organissimo’s A Soulful Tribute to the Fab Four. Excellent, excellent album.

Leon Spencer is terrific but that is my least favorite Groove Holmes; it’s ruined by electric bass and electric piano. I would go with After Hours or most any other recording of his.

That would mean taking on a lot of debt. The likelihood of financial success is not high. Sapporo is already entertaining offers for sale of the assets so the employees are going to need come up with financing relatively quickly.

The Criterion Channel is showing at no cost Jon Else’s 1981 documentary, The Day After Trinity, about Oppenheimer. Highly recommended. You can also find it on YouTube.

Fabulous.

Received my copy and sounds rather good.

I think it’s terrific. Highly recommended.

I have picked up a few good things there.

I disagree completely. If you look throughout the threads there is quite active discussion. I thought you were going to quit this Forum. Guess not.

It’s a great thread and some good and varied participants listening to a lot of different jazz, and some non jazz too.

Lon’s thread is very good and not too much drama. There is also a Mosaic thread, although the one here is better. You should check out the baseball and books threads there. Very active.

I agree. Most of the music doesn’t interest me. If they had a box that did, I might consider it. They were having a sale on their Vanguard box last year; I purchased it for $130. Good deal. Must be a slow mover.

True. I find this place a little too caustic at times. It’s not what it used to be when we had a lot more active members, who have become alienated from here.

I actually enjoy the Hoffman Forum more than here.

You should probably frame that review!

The non AAA appears to be causing some discussion on the VMP thread.

Received my tracking too.

That’s a pretty standard non-member price.

I’m with you. Pretty meaningless and I dislike all this miking up players. I hate to sound like one of those how things were better years ago but players use to take this game seriously, not like they do now.

I don’t think that’s completely correct. I went through the responses and there are eleven no’s, six yesses and four maybes. Over on Hoffman, the reverse is the case: seven yesses, two maybes and two no’s.

That is an understatement. I spend a lot of time there and I think a lot of people on the new vinyl threads spend more time talking about non musical points. Economically, I don’t think it would be feasible for Mosaic. For example, if you have a problem with an Amazon or VMP purchased record, they tell you to keep it and send you a new one. Solutions like that could kill Mosaic.

Do you use hearing aids. They make all the difference.
