Brad

I'm not too familiar with the people Alfred mentioned. Are they producers/engineers or label owners and what's the label. Sorry for the dumb questions.

For the ignorant, what's a podcast? Downloading a broadcast to your ipod. If so, how do you do it?

Second these recs. Been listening to these two lately. Don't think anybody mentioned Unsung Hero on Epic. Also what about Taking Care of Business. That's a good one.

Brad, you missed my last message from Michael, which I relayed in another thread. He made it pretty clear to me that the three Select concept is going to be a go. Dan, I actually did see that post. I'm just very doubtful, however. I'll believe it when I see it. I hope you're right.

I've also discussed this with Michael (both in person and email) many times. Dan is essentially correct. However, I'm not very hopeful that this will ever come out.

Has anybody heard of this music burning service. My son downloaded and he says it gets songs through Itunes but it's free. Without iTunes it wouldn't work. That doesn't sound too kosher and songs for free? I'm a little suspicious.

Actually, some of the ebay scam ads I've received are so bad that you wonder why these people even bothered: typos, poor grammar, etc.

I think the retro was from a different period, his classic period. This all 69 to 72, more commercial. Doesn't sound like anything I'll be interested in.

I bought a cd from them and got the same message. Gave me a good laugh. I don't think they take themselves too seriously (which is nice to see).

Didn't take this guy long to get banned. Must be a record. Reminds me of that old slogan: LSMFO. You've never heard of that one? Lucky Strikes Means Fine Organissimo

For that price, it's a steal. Unbelievable deal you got.

My earliest recollection is listening to my parents records, espcially broadway scores, like the Pajama Game, West Side Story and Guys and Dolls. They also had George M. Cohan records. I remember H-A-R-R-I-N-G-T-O-N spells Harrington. I can still remember that tune a little bit. I'm whistling as I write this.

20 years is a long time to look for a record. Incredible that you couldn't get it before now. Was it worth the wait?

You don't have to have the listening experience but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt about Pres or Hawk. I'm not going to get into the top 5 thing but how about some guy named Lockjaw or Junior Cook?

I forgot to pick this one up last week when I was in Borders. Hope it's still there after reading this thread.

I'll also be getting it.

Unless I'm wrong, it seems like it's been about 6 months since we've seen any OJCs. Alan's jazz site has these coming out in the Summer along with the K2s. Weren't those also supposed to be out around now?

It can't be soon enough.

Happy Birthday Mark and, yes, keep those great pictures coming.

Sounds to me Dan that no matter what you say even giving her a discographical entry will not convince her.

Lord had nothing but jazzdepot.com which owns High Note lists the following about this date: These sessions for Work Done date from the late 1970s and find Stitt at the peak of his powers, live in the white heat of performance with Ray Drummond, Eddie Marshall and others at the San Francisco jazz venue, the Keystone Korner.

A great gentleman of jazz has died. RIP.

Our house is well conditioned but I better check tonight because you never know.

I'll check Lord tonight to see if it's listed.
