I'm trying to get some information on Matthew Gee, the New York trombonist, who played a little bit with Duke and only led one session, Jazz by Gee, although he did co-lead a session with Johnny Griffin. I've tried the web but nothing shows up. The best source is AMG. If anybody has any hints, please let me know. Thanks.

Yup, Verve gets high honors here. Also disappointing but nothing for the worst category are the Fantasy box sets. To cut costs, they've given us little booklets in straight cd cases like the MJQ and Dexter box. I would have liked to see something like the Miles or Coltrane box, a la Mosaic.

Nothing specific but since my space is limited if I don't like something it and don't think I probably will, it's on to ebay. So outta sight, outta mind. One that does come to mind was Byrd's Slow Drag. God, I hated that disc.

I must be in the minority on this one but I've listened to Volume 1 a few different times and I couldn't just get into it. This disc just didn't make it for me.

I heard a cut on the radion from his new album on HighNote. Sounded pretty good.

Damn, that was fast!

I would have said Artie Shaw. The disc The Complete Gramercy Five Sessions on Bluebird is pretty nice. For recent vintage, I would have picked Peplowski.

Charitably...I'm OK with that. Yeah, I agree with this. You can overanalyze anything to death without distilling its true meaning.

Indeed I will. Can't wait.

I've never done anything like you're suggesting but I'd be very happy to help out in any way I can, to get me feet wet , if that would be helpful.

Eric Alexander is appearing with Harold Mabern at Shanghai Jazz in Madison, New Jersey this Friday and Saturday and I'M GOING!. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it! We're going Friday. Here's the link for Shanghai Jazz if you're interested. Food's not bad (chinese) and the owner, David, is a great guy.

Sent you a pm about the two Evidence and the Tolliver.

I saw that too at lunch today and I think it's great. Hopefully, it will get people asking who did that.

I'm sure many of us know about David's (ghost of miles) Night Lights Program but I have to admit that I didn't listen to it until the first time this past weekend. Thank god, they archive these programs to show me what I'd missed. These programs are oustanding, so much so that after listening to Part 1 of the Arrangers about George Russell and Hal McKusick, I purchased from Dusty Groove a Hal McKusick Cd from Fresh Sounds. I encourage everybody to try to listen and here's the link for the archives: Night Lights Archives. Thanks David.

Welcome. There's always room for one more

Here's the AAJ Discussion. Based upon that thread, it looks like 17-18 LPs is about right. Kevin, Any chance you can mention this to Michael?

Milan, I never received the disc. Could you send me another. If you don't have my address, pl. let me know and I'll email you. Thanks.

In the last day or so, there's been some intereste in this label so I'd thought I'd post the Beehive Records Discography that's in in the jazzdiscography site. This is more informational than anything else. Thanks to help of jazzydaddy and Sheldonm, I've managed to locate a couple of these discs.

I've got internet explorer and looks really nice to me.

Bananas and Take the Money and Run are classics. But Broadway Danny Rose, what a portrayal. What's the one where's they go into the future. That is priceless. The later ones are funny but in a different way. These are more slapstick.

Since this is Weizen's thread, he should get the chance to buy it but I'm curious as to what you mean by top dollar Reinier.

Don, Thank you very much. I just called in an order and it will be on its way shortly. Unfortunately, they didn't have Burn Brigade. But, hey one out of two ain't bad.

Saw it on Saturday. Very good. Even my 13 year old son who I had to drag to it liked it. My favorites Pixars are still Toy Story. Didn't see Nemo, though. Having read the Nation article posted by Guy after I first posted this, I suppose there may be something to what they say although I was probably to thick to see it.

This doesn't appear to have been released on cd and from the look of this thread on AAJ about the Beehive label, unlikely to be released anytime soon.

If anybody has a copy they'd like to sell, please pm me. Thanks. I've tried the usual suspects (Jazz Loft, Cadence, CD Universe and Worlds Records) with no luck.
