They were really swingin'; thanks for the link. The dancers seemed to be operating at half speed however. There was also an adjoining clip where Lockjaw really hit it on Cherokee.

Sorry, sometimes I can't help being a lawyer and it seemed pretty obvious to me what you were trying to say, but I'll let it go.

If you were not unaware that it was a violation of board policy, then why did you post the whole interview? Just curious Dave said he not aware of the policy. Accordingly, how would he have known that he couldn't post the interview. Please read his post carefully - he first asked if it had occurred to anyone that he was unaware, then he said he was not, ergo: he said he was not unaware. I'm (now) guessing that's not what he meant, but it's what he said. I read his post carefully and here it is: "Has it occurred to anyone that I was unaware that this was a violation of board policy? The fact of the matter is, I was not." Although the point is moot because Dave says otherwise (although that's not what he intended), a reasonable reading of the first sentence is that he was unaware of the policy. However, the second sentence seems to trip him up: "I was not." Or does it? When I read that (since Dave said he was unaware of the policy in the first sentence), the logical interpretation is that the second means he was "not" aware of the policy, not that he deliberately violated it. Otherwise, the use of the term "the fact of the matter" doesn't make sense.

Accordingly, how would he have known that he couldn't post the interview. I, myself, am only aware of the policy becacuse someone mentioned it in a post. I haven't bothered to check but I assume somewhere this policy is available.

Thanks for the tip. I may opt for Worlds Records.

Near 40 today in NW Joisey and the malls are crowded!

These appear to be available now on Amazon but not CDU.

In your opinion, maybe; I strongly disagree Well, other than mine, in whose opinion would that be? I assume you're a big Santana fan; it just didn't have the same magic for me. The Springfield was not bad. Liked some things I heard. I always get an uneasy feeling when people are expressing opinions as facts, which I thought was the case here. No, I'm not a big Santana fan, but I still like their first few albums. I am a big fan of Buffalo Springfield, and have been ever since their first album. When Abraxas first came out, I loved it, as well as later albums. I recently picked up Abraxas in re-mastered form and it just didn't do it for me unfortunately. OTOH, the Beatles sounded fresh more than 40 years later. None of this could hardly be fact as music is very subjective. Just my opinion

I've mentioned this before on this thread, elsewhere and to friends, but listening to their stuff again after all these years is almost listening for the first time and enjoying it all over again. It still sounds to me as great as when I was a teenager. On the other hand, some other stuff that I've listened to recently (Buffalo Springfield, Santana) seems boring and dated.

Years back, I was able to pick up from Mosaic some incomplete sets from Mosaic: a nearly complete McLean, one disc from the Quebec Hardee set and a couple of discs from the Buck Clayton set. The McLean and Clayton sets came with box and book and the Hardee with book.

Can't disagree with that MG. When you don't like something, no use going back.... I love soul jazz myself and would have loved to been interested when these guys were recording.

I believe so

Thanks for the heads up. Order will be put in soon.

Regarding MG's point about not listening to rock after the mid 60s more than he could help it, I had the same attitude but after the Beatles box came out I started going back and listening to things and enjoying it, almost hearing it for the first time again so I wouldn't necessarily sell it short IMHO

Wholeheartedly second Brownie's recommendation. That is some amazing playing. I'm going to pull that out today.

At least you're honest

That tells you their invoice cost is so low that they can cut it to a third and still make a profit.

Up, Up and Away is not a dud but not one of my favorites either.

I suppose the Guardias must have been jazz fans. Otherwise, how would they know?

Have a great birthday GOM :rsmile:

As I continue to listen and enjoy, I can't wait to find out who is on number 7.

Knowing how you feel about the Stones and other groups mimicking the Blues, what's your take on someone like Clapton?

Of course it was all wholly admiring and imitation how could a british based person or a jewish kid like me understand what brought on the Blues or the social economic climate in which we thrived. All we knew is that we liked it and spoke to us, and that is where it all came from. Roots in the sense of musical inspiration, not the socio economic background. As far as getting or liking the Stones, who can say why a particular sound appeals to you. To me, they and the Beatles were gods in the 60s. I stopped liking them after the early 70s, around Exile on Main Stree time but I loved and still love the early stuff, Aftermath being one of their better ones IMHO.

Now that's a freakin' classic! Now, that's a great ad, especially the part about his feelings not being hurt. Direct and to the point.
