Yeah, he'll be operatic or whatever label Jim is working hard on these days as Mr. S. plows throught the post stratosphere.

I find that to be a slow site quite often, more often than not.

Agustin, I just sent you some additional details on the questions you had about the Dex box.

It's in my head and that's a very dangerous plac

I saw that this morning. I'd love to take a look at some of these meetings. I'm sure it'll be expensive.

I just received this so I'll be spinning it tomorrow. Too bad not a lot of people have given views.

Couldn't disagree more. Hank fits in perfectly there with the mood of this album. But to each his own. We've disagreed more and I expect we'll do it again.

Good luck and congrats!

I have Tete! in the cd version (31029) and the release date is 1987. Short Story (cd) is 1993.

I noticed that Stefan is selling 3 volumes of the Bebop Revisited series that was issued by Xanadu. If you're into bop, this is an ABSOLUTE MUST! This is no drill. This series is that fantastic. Trust me, if you don't get these, you'll want to kill yourself. The pity is that these haven't been reissued on cd.

yessirree, Street of Dreams is fantastic. One of Grant's best.

I have to agree. I've never heard a bad Venus. I'm surprised that these don't have US distribution.

I organize it alphabetically and also keep an alpha list of everything I buy. I think that's important so you what you have.

Check this out from Soul Stream in response to a comment I made on a thread about Hank's Reach Out album: NO!!!!!! Grant Green's "I Want To Hold Your Hand" is absolute wonder. A lone Beatles cover done BEAUTIFULLY!!! Other than that, the titles are all straight ahead. One of the best organ albums ever made. GET THIS CD NOW!!!! Or forget about enjoying life.

Isn't that the american system? Isn't that what drives this economy anyway?

It is possible that you may be right. However, Mosaic's approach is complete and that's what they adhere to. Also, while not everything may be of interest to you or me, it may be of interest to others, especially researchers and teachers. Since this is probably the only time when the original Roulette masters may be available, it was a good idea to include everything in one issue.

Does anybody have the Lonehill version. I'm curious as to how it sounds in light of the above discussion.

Anatol, it is quite an honor to have you here and to finally solve the riddle of the "chronogical" spelling. This has been debate on these board before. Thanks to your wonderful efforts, I have been able to listen to much music that I would not otherwise have been able to.

I can take Slim in small doses. I do like the session with Bird. I enjoy that. The JATP session: it's ok. I also happen to have the Classics. That's okay too. I'm just not sure I would have done an LPR for him.

I'm no drummer but isn't that what a drummer is supposed to essentially do: "swing the shit out of a song and really drive a band." That's what a drummer is supposed to. Soloing is a bonus. Maybe we don't fundamentally disagree but Cobb is no slouch.

Mike, What do you mean by this? I like AT but I also like Jimmy Cobb as well.

I'm really enjoying the Tal Farlow set. This is a must have in my opinion.

You know how I feel about this set

Anybody mention Gerald Wiggins?

and Hank Mobley and what happened in the last 45 years except for some dude named Wynton (and I don't mean Kelly).
