I'm a bluish kind of guy!

Brings back a lot of memories with my son. It's something special when you get that hit. Way to go Nathan.

The only longbox I have and because it came out no other way was the Dex BN box. I've passed up on these Miles boxes until I can find the old variety.

For those who may be looking the Moon cd was issued under Wardell's name.

I don't take anything. When I developed tinnitis I started taking them to see if it would help. It didn't so I stopped. I was taking the fish oil for awhile to see if it would help lower cholesterol. It didn't so I went back on the lipitor.

I guess the question becomes how we get this out in circulation for the public to hear.

I haven't met anybody but as usual it would be nice to have a big get together.

Looks like Dusty Groove has some of these.

I think I have the Sweets as an American Record Society LP, the one with the pink inner sleeves. Got it on ebay for a nice price, and it is indeed a great album. Just saw this on Alan's web site and am looking forward to Sittin In, Joe Newman and the Al Cohn. Looks like a great April 12.

They're very definitely worth picking up. The difference is that they had alternative takes on their cd and impeccable lengthy detailed liner notes. CC only has master takes and about a half page of intro notes.

So he's banned? No great loss (as many of you might guess).

I bought out all the Nabors Mosaics. Figured I'd do a little hoarding. I'll sell you one but first I have to offer it to Allen Lowe for around $2,000.

Yup, that should be some serious booty, esp. with Serena.

Love to go but alas the closest I'll get is my business trip to Germany in two weeks. Any suggestions on Nuremberg restaurants?

I'm going to ignore this thread

Art Pepper Select, Disc 3.

As a reminder, this festival starts tonight (or Friday morning) at 12:01 est.

Looks like Aric has moved to Richmond.

Mostly use it in the gym (a company one) so I'm not too concerned.

Calling this material "throwaway stuff" doesn't seem to make much sense when it applies to the collaboration of these two. Some of Byrd's solo material, BN or not, may not be the stuff of legends but there is some fine material there: Transition, Savoy are very good and let's not forget his appearances on some of the Wallington cds. As far as Blue goes, much of his BN material is memorable as is his Riverside work. I often reach for the Mosaic. It's one of my favorites.

Not sure what you're looking for exactly.

I kind of agree with Dan. I've got the Select and sold the earlier discs but I have a little trouble getting into this set. Yes, he's no Kenny Drew. The groups on the Steeple Chase discs are damn good.

Ray and I are not in cahoots but the Kenton presents of Rosolino, Holman, etc. is a very good Mosaic. If you're into the California sound or just plain good jazz, this is a great buy, esp. if you missed getting this before it went oop.

Big thumbs up here for this set and since we're mentioning Live at the Half Note, check out, under Pepper's leadership, 10 to 4 at the Five Spot. Great disc.

Dan, Sorry you lost your job but good luck in the new one. Florida always seems like an up state to me so I have to think you'll do well.
