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.

Every few days means I'm in the habit of going off on AAJ on a regular basis? Don't think so. I did make a comment about them on the 19th. So what? It's my right to say so. Do you have a problem with that. It appears that you do my friend.

Another one which I think every fan should have is Volume 18, Bird Eyes/Stardust. This has the Live at the Finale Club in L.A. from 1946 (Miles, Joe Albany), a session with Benny Carter, Willie Smith, Nat King Cole, Oscar Moore and Buddy Rich, also from 1946, and a 17 minute interview with John McLellan in Boston from 1953.

Why the bashin'? It was just an offhand, throw away comment. I just don't find it to be a terribly interesting forum. The articles and reviews would be another matter.

So this means that etherbored now has to offer something else up to anybody? And if that person takes it, he has to offer something else, etc.? Does etherbored get to keep the cd or is it loan so to speak?

Paul, I thought you said you weren't buying Mosaics anymore. How about it, big guy?

Same here. Can't say it's a huge loss however.

I'll take a DAB thank you.

Nice picture but I only (only?) have 12 of these, not the full 16. I have the Chambers and Reese in TOCJ so didn't see the need to pick them up. Didn't feel the need to get the Pullen or the Liebman, etc.

Hep Records titles are on sale over at Allegro.

Except us!

Congrats!

Man, you gotta be quick on this baby. I missed it by seconds. It was posted at 855 and gone at 856. Well, there's tomorrow.

Just did my part B-)

I never got an email but the item has been removed from my credit card and the site indicates out of stock/not available. All's well that ends well as the saying goes.

I hate to be a fly in the proverbial ointment but wouldn't you need Mosaic's permission (or the label, whoever that might be, e.g. Verve) to do something like this. Not that they would object if it'll get them sales.

Well, it's been on there pretty frequently the past week. In fact the one that went last night sat around for about half an hour before rostasi bought it.

Reinier, I'll give it a try in the next couple of days (if I can get my son off the computer ). Brad
