PM sent on Priester and Bennie Green

It's a harmless exhibition game with not much defense. People want to see scoring and for nobody to be hurt. People also want to see their favorites out there. My son was looking for all the Jets players. My son and I watched part of it last night and it was fun. It's obviously not as competitive as a training game because there are people are tackling, etc. and fighting for jobs.

Just sent you a message

Downloaded it from Amazon last night and got into bed listening to it on the ipod but fell asleep so I'll have to report back later with impressions.

I got this date years ago when I was deep in my Jazz Messengers habit and was trying to listen to anything and everything with Bobby Timmons. Agree with all the comments about the date. Great session. One thing I always liked was the cover: green letters on a yellow background. However, after reading some of the comments about Prestige's practices, you have to wonder if they just dashed it off. Recently listened to A Long Tall Drink of the Blues and it does have a haphazard quality but that argument at the beginning of the session gives it a distinctive mark.

That's a definite better deal for sure.

To put it mildly, this seller's ratings aren't the best but he has Gil Evans' Complete Pacific Jazz Sessions for $8 on a buy it now. Even if you get stiffed, it's only $8 but worth if you get it. I'm not the seller

Thanks all for the comments and pms.

Is this worth getting, features Booker Little, Louis Smith, Phineas Newborn, Frank Strozier and George Coleman? Any thoughts?

Do you have a list of CDs you want to sell or give us an idea generally of artists you may have. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about this

If you like vocals, what about Ella Fitzgerald or Dinah Washington?

Congrats Chuck!

I heard some Manhattan Transfer on the XM Jazz station while driving into work. So, how do you see them versus Singers Unlimited. I much prefer MT but I can see how SU might have some merits.

Have the 32 Jazz version and sounds good to me. Haven't heard the others. Whatever version you can get, run, don't walk to get Sonny in top form. Also, pick up if you can everything else released on 32 Jazz!

but are they better than "elvis"? How can you be better than something which really doesn't exist? Just imagine

No comparison. When I listen to them, I'm somewhat reminded of Muzak or Lawrence Welk. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but these versions don't flatter the original.

Thanks for bringing the interview again Dmitry. I missed it the first time around.

He's not of my favorites so a pass on this for me.

Not my favorite people to deal with as I alluded to.

I checked and I made a mistake and don't have Baritone Madness. I have Burn Brigade, sorry. Great music however. The person who might be able to help you is Mark Sheldon (sheldonm on the Forum). I believe he knows or knew the owner of Bee Hive and I believe he has a lot of their catalogue.

To my knowledge no. I don't have a copy on vinyl but do have a cppy

Interesting way to advertise. I never found them that cheap (I live about an hour away) but it might be worth going down there to take a look anyway.

I found Cashman's attitude and disclosure of his stance a little odd. If I told my superior that I didn't want to participate in a decision the company made (as long as it didn't violate laws or ethics) and then after the deal was done told the world I disagreed with the decision, I think I'd be looking for a new job. Somehow, the rules we all have to live by don't seem to apply to the sports world.

Haven't these accusations been around for years (as evidenced by the age of this thread) and nothing has stuck yet?
