Thanks guys. A couple of nights ago it was on for barely a minute. And about 2 weeks ago somebody bought it for $212 (not Universal). That guy must want to kill himself. I told Reinier I would try to get it for him so he's next.

I was tonight's lucky winner (jazzeum is my ebay id) after several tries. Can't wait to get this one and see all that ruuuuuuuust. I think a couple of nights ago it was on for less than a minute.

Brother Aric is proof of no child left behind I don't know of anyone who sets himself up for this kind of abuse like Aric

Why don't yuu draft something that has a couple of subjects, verbs, objects, ya know, like a sentence, or golly even a paragraph, ok, Dude?

Maybe that's why these sets are $99. They can't sell 'em to retailers with that condition so they figure they'll sell it on ebay for a cutrate price. Still, not a bad deal.

Even duplicates of JRVGs?

You hear it all the time around these parts!!! I can't believe this thread devolved into a rant for or against the Varitone. Christ, people, get over it. Sometimes I think people don't actually listen to the music being presented. Sonny Stitt could play a damn plastic $5 recorder and the shit would be soulful. Unless it was electrified. There's a darn good reason why this gadget wasn't loved universally but let's not restart the debate. When listening to Sonny's work, this isn't the first cd I'd reach for.

Man, you ain't kidding. That's awesome.

You're kidding right? I'm PMimg my address just in case you're not!! Basra has just left the house!

They're also running the same deal at the same price for the Brownie EmArcy box set, which saves about $30 (not bad), but nothing compared to the Bill Evans set which sells for $246 on CD Universe.

Looking at AMG, Lou did it on Blues Walk but it's also been done by Cannonball on the Lush Side of Cannonball, Sonny Criss on the Hampton Hawes Sessions, and Sonny Stitt.

Did you find the gallery of covers? Never saw it on the menu system when I played the DVD on the computer. Unfortuanately, it doesn't. I thought it did too but it directs to the Mosaic site. Bummer. I was hoping to use some for wallpaper.

I'm afraid all I have is the EmArcy issue but would love to have more. For Fresh Sounds and other releases, you may want to check out dustygroove.com. They carry a lot of Fresh Sounds material and even if it's out of stock, they can get them in pretty quickly.

I'll take the Lost Grooves. Cool! and thanks

Someone comes along now and then with a great idea, Dan and Tony with the BFTs and now Parkertown with this. It's a nice way to help out your fellow jazz fan. I've been generally lucky that if I see something I want, I can get it. This is a good way to pay someone back in a jazz way. Now if someone offers a Mosaic, I'll flip my lid

You're kidding right? I'm PMimg my address just in case you're not!! Not kidding, Scott. Just sent you a PM.

Since it's better to give than receive, I have Basra but only for Scottb!

Now, that you scored a double for the Nationals, I assume the hex is off. Gimme another DAB B-)

Well, after making that probably stupid comment I decided to check out AAJ and was going to post something but couldn't do so. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can try to get that rectified?

Weizen, I thought it was you a while ago who said that he didn't like this box (or do I have that wrong?).

So's your moose

Weizy, You're killin' me. No more favors for you my friend

I don't know that you'll find the interview that revealing in that I don't think he's saying anything you haven't read about before but I thought it was quite fascinating to hear him talk about Alfred and Creed Taylor and to see his studio and just to see him in the flesh. It was well worth the cost in my view.

If that Morgan isn't to your liking Rooster, I'm interested.

Bev, I don't find AAJ all that terribly interesting to me but it doesn't mean it's not a good site (and if I said otherwise, then I'm wrong). I don't think we're constantly harping on how superior this board is. I just think the feeling is that AAJ is just not the place that many of us call our jazz home. Precious? That's cute. I don't see self congratulation going on here. People like this board more than others. What's wrong with that? As far as sycophancy, it's far from that. When a Larry Kart appears, are you going to listen to them more than someone who is brand new. I think so. That's hardly sycophantic. And frankly I don't get your statement at all about insularity. This is quite a diverse crowd with a broad range of jazz interests from swing to the avant garde. I think it's a quite broad crowd here. And lastly, why bring up that you're British. If one of us made some comment like that, we'd be chopped up and left by the roadside.
