Brad

Further update, I talked to Kurt. He seemed like a decent fellow but said that due to this ebay error that once they found the error, they cancelled all outstanding undelivered auction because they would have never sold them at that price, etc. and are in the process of doing refunds. He also said that they would be contacting people to whom they delivered the sets to return them but recognized that what's done is done. To me, it's a breach, it's their mistake. So now onto ebay.

Well, weizen, I mean red menace, I mean Dr. Freud, who said about throwing chickens at him. That would be very fowl indeed!

In case anybody would like to call them, the number is 310-965-7879. This, by the way, happens to be that fellow Kurt's number. I've already left him a message so we'll see what develops. I don't think he'll return the call but I let him know I was an attorney and will be calling back again.

Well, I received my email from those assholes at UMG and have already fired off a salvo for their breach of contract and threatening to sue. I will be calling them later today.

Happy Birthday, dude. How many Mosaics you gettin'

Man, I thought you were talking about Ms. Barbeau. Bummer.

My profuse apologies

Thanks for bringing this up again. I may listen to it again tonight.

What about Guitar on the Go and Movin' Along?

That's what I listen to in the morning while reading the paper

Ahhh, the master of subtlety. I wonder what Mrs. Effron will be like

Hey Lon, how about joining in. You must have a lot of goodies to part with

What does she like to listen to?

With all due respect, I find statements like Lee is the only one for me quite hard to fathom since Donald has such a sweet sound. But beyond that have you listened to Brownie, Blue Mitchell, Tommy Turrentine, Kenny Dorham, Woody Shaw, Carmell Jones or even Freddie Hubbard of the late 50s to early 60s. While I love Lee, there are many, many other brilliant trumpeters. If you made a statement like that you obviously haven't listened to them and I strongly suggest that you do before you make a statement like that again. I also strongly disagree with your views about Pepper. While I have no objection to Gerry Mulligan and enjoy listening to him, for the hard driving hard bop sound of that ear, Pepper is THE MAN! actually I have listened to ALL of those trumpeters... I have plenty of Clifford Brown and the Carmell Jones Select .... I enjoy both of them but IMHO, in the hard bop vein (hate to use that label)... I do place Lee Morgan in a seperate class... (both as a trumpeter and a composer)... Just because I disagree with you doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about.... I'm glad you like Pepper... but I still stand by my comments... that if I wanted more baritone I'd still go with the Mulligan set... Sorry if I offended you with that statement but if you make a statement like that AFTER you've heard all those and you place someone like Brownie behind Lee, that's clearly mind blowing and just wrong headed, in my view. Of course, you're entitled to your opinion.

I've just ordered this so I'll let you know.

That's good. I gotta check that out.

Damn right! If we got into the sessions where he excelled as a sideman, we'd be here for awhile.

Any views on this one. I heard You'd be so nice to come to on the radio the other day and was impressed. Any thoughts?

Too bad about the gig. Well, I'm throwin' in the towel. See ya in the am. Oh, yeah, it already is.

Has anyone heard of or heard this cd released on a label called Jazz Magnet? Any views?

I'm wondering if this is the least active we've ever been. Of course, it is almost 130 in the am: 10 guests, 10 members 2 anonymous members Brad, Noj, sonic1, brownie, etherbored, b3-er, indigo, AfricaBrass, TheMusicalMarine, Ron S

If you haven't opened and loved Worktime, you're not worthy. Forget it. It's over for you, dude. Turn in your Organissimo card.

After that initial post, I still can't fathom that someone couldn't be into Pepper. Here's a list of Pepper albums that I have that I unreservedly recommend: The Cool Sound of Pepper Adams – Regent 6066 (SV-0198) Encounter - Prestige 7677 (OJCCD-898-2) The Master – Muse 5213 10 to 4 At the Five Spot - Riverside 1104 (OJCCD-031-2) Pepper Adams Quintet - Mode Records MOD LP-112 (V.S.O.P. #5 CD) Urban Dreams – Quicksilver Records 4006 Another set with Donald Byrd as the leader is Live at Half Note which was RVGed not that long ago. If you can find Jazzmen Detroit issued by Savoy under Kenny Burrell's leadership, that's also quite marvelous. The last one on Quicksilver is really good. Hell, they're all good.

Reading this thread makes me feel like a damn outsider lookin in through the window. There's obviously not a fat chance that I'll even get a breath of this
