Mine's in the shop right now (I'm using my mother's; she's got dialup and it's a drag). I think my son's games messed it up. Hopefully all back up by the weekend.

As a last point, I think overall this is a good set. I can't say I like everything but then there aren't that many artists whose output I universally like. I think it's worth picking up despite the naysayers.

I just noticed this thread but it looks like it's back. Pity. Kill the bastard.

All of these Time reissues are fantastic. All worth picking up. Faves are the Little and Bennie Green, plus the Turrentine. Heck, I like 'em all.

Oops, sorry, offer cancelled

$250 and ya got a deal.

What daya want for $99 you cheapo. You got 18 cds that you screwed Verve out of More than I got so far

Well put. Nuts! Beat me to it! Maybe not god-like but good, smarties

I can't say I'm particularly crazy about the whole set but I think the Xmas music is really god. Of course, if you hate Xmas music, you may want to pass it up. BTW, have you heard Bird doing White Christmas. It's a classic, man.

I'm goin to ignore that you ignored that.

I've never used the ignore function but with posters like che, it may be a first.

You think it's a big joke, but I don't find this amusing at all.

It seems we've lost two fine members because of all the sniping going on here. I know this has been discussed ad infinitum but I think this needs to stop. When you lose someone like Hans, there's something wrong. We all need to adopt a civil tone and avoid a condescending, holier than thou, I know it all and you don't attitude, or we're bound to suffer in the long run.

Marla, Just saw your question. My computer was on the fritz this weekend so I didn't get too much time. I'm glad Kevin answered your question. The George Coleman is pretty nice too. If you can't find it, why don't you pm me.

No, contest. Spain (course I lived there when I was a kid) so if that doesn't count, then France, specifically Brittany (Dinan). I'd love to buy a house there.

All of them are great sonically and musically. Not a bad one in the bunch. If you forced me to choose, I'd rate Moanin, Night at Birdland and the Bohemias as my faves.

I might be off about this but the Jazz Messengers was a reference to a group that Art Blakey was in the late 40s called the Messengers, which itself, I believe, was a reference to the prophet Muhammmad.

I'm glad they're putting their money to good use

Lon, Never did. My email is lewinb@wyeth.com Brad

Amen, to her being beautiful. Such a beautiful face.

It's a big tent here so I guess that's cool. You like it but I don't. Of course, does anybody want to buy this?

A couple of things. I'm distressed that deus62 and Hans are no longer posting here. They've made some positive contributions. However, my experience is that on a board like this posters will come and go, even some good ones. It's unfortunate but that's reality. On the other hand, I think the core remains here and that's positive. I also agree with what b3-er said. Let's try to be nice. We're probably all guilty of this at one time or another. And Guy was right, this thread is probably the nastiest I've seen here in a while, probably outside of the Political forum, which I generally avoid. It's not my view of what a jazz board should be. But I fought and lost that fight so I'll let it go. Remember, it's nice to be nice to the nice

Che Whatever the hell you mean.

I too for the most part ignore the political board so I don't have to read the kind of crap that equates zionism with nazism.

But did it? I seem to remember coming across a stupidly high-priced lp of this album a few years ago? I meant as a cd.
