Six hours is incredible but I can't believe that could happen. It has to go to a central facility in the state from where it's being shipped to another where it's being received and then out to you. For adjoining states, one day is the norm. 6 hours, I find hard to believe.

That pickin' up Nomo has gotta to be the dregs. What's his ERA? 6.5. Sheesh.

I just called Mosaic and they said there are 220 sets left. They figured (with the usual disclaimers ) that this supply should be good for a couple of weeks.

Anybody seen that Amy/Bolton? Would love to see/hear that one! How ironic that this gets mentioned. Just last night I started to do some audio transfers of videos borrowed from a board member, and the first one I wanted to hear was the Amy/Bolton tape. I was doing it into the computer so I wasn't even looking at the video (yet) but judging from the audio signal, the source was in pretty good shape. Here are the details: 1) Summertime 2) Katanga 3) Laura (Bolton feature) 4) Blues for Amy 5) theme Curtis Amy, tenor sax Dupree Bolton, trumpet Dolo Coker, piano Ray Crawford, guitar Victor Gaskin, bass Ronnie Selico, drums Date is given as the 60s, but I noticed that the host mentioned that "Tippin on Through" was the current release by Curtis Amy, so that would help narrow the date down (not sure but I think that was about 1966?). ← If anybody's looking for this, why not get the Amy Select; it's got that and a lot of other great music.

I can't say I'm all that familiar with them so before I invest $100, how would you describe their sound, especially as it evolved in this set until 1970? Is it soul jazz or more geared toward lighter, breezier stuff?

Looks like Lon has put on some weight

All those formerly Savoy issues are now Columbia issues. Anybody know why that is?

Buck Clayton, Disc 3.

I wasn't planning the O'Day set but I'll be calling tomorrow.

Well, the Mets finally swept a series. It's about f'in time. They've been here before (3 over 500) so this weekend will be interesting. It would behoove them to sweep again. That would make them 6 over as they hit the road.

I don't get the comment about Fuego. It happens to be a great cd. I haven't picked up the Hancock yet. Might not. Most of his stuff leaves me cold. Different strokes....That's what makes the world go around, as the trite saying goes.

We usually get excited about things that in the overall scheme of things aren't that significant. People come, people go. It's the nature of things.

I presently have the following Mosaics on ebay: Woody Herman Capitol Johnny Richards Select

My philosophy is too start them low but not that low.

Yeah, the whole address.

It seems to have spawned an interview with Bob Sunenblick scheduled to appear in the July 31 issue. We await. ← Do you mean in the NYT magazine or else where in the paper that day?

Thank you Scotty for your part in WW2 and for Star Trek. RIP.

That's why this isn't on my list. Temple Jazz, I don't have anything specific in my mind. But the Grant Green release awhile back, Goin West, was a step in the right direction, as is the Freddie Redd.

Just saw this. I think they're doing what is easy: put out the big names and the big reissues but I'd like to see the more rarer issues in the Blue Note stable. On a separate point, the Sunday Morning RVG has a new alternate take. Is this the same as on the Conn?

It indeed is a bad thing but look at the state of our culture where pap like Desperate Housewives attracts audiences or all these reality shows. What does that tell you. I'm not trying to be arrogant but sometime I feel that people like us are the last respository of culture in this country.

um -- about the desmond: http://half.ebay.com/cat/buy/prod.cgi?cpid...6830&pr=3049385 ← What's your point? ← Get it cheaper from the link? ← Maybe, but not if you're outside North America, they don't ship overseas. Besides, I don't think it's fair to post links to cheaper copies or mention ways to obtain cheaper copies in a seller's thread, even if you've got something against them. ← I just don't think it's too nice what Evan did. Buyers can figure that out and this person is telling you what he's got available.

7/4, how do you get those articles before the publication date. I've tried before to no avail.

There's an article about Jack Radio in tomorrow's NYT. As soon as I can get it, I will post it.

Okay, perhaps I was a but too subtle in my initial post... I'm not suggesting that this is some new revalation. Quite the opposite. The process he describes is a no-braner in the first place. I seldom hold onto commercially issued CDs. I rip them onto iTunes and sell them almost immediately...unless, of course, they have cool artwork or interesting liners. Otherwise, 4"x4" artwork is nothing I'm worried about keeping. And yes, external drives are imperative...jazz or otherwise. Anyway, the point of the post was not so much the writer's suggestion as it was the very concept of "digitizing" an already inherently digital medium. The title of the piece assumes that CDs are somehow analog. ← No, I did get the humor but found the external drive instructions useful.
