I'd like to be able to buy less cds but I don't know if that's going to happen. However, I'd like to be more patient and calmer with my family since I'm not the most patient person in the world.

I can't remember everything that I got from him but it was one that I didn't get that was notable: The Montgomery Brothers' Groove Yard. I eventually managed to find a copy of this and it was worth it. One I did get was Bob Brookmeyer's the Ivory Hunters. Wonderful cd. Waiting for those Mondays or Tuesday for those offerings was a lot of fun. Better still was getting a cd he had. He sort of became an institution and as far as institutions go, you don't appreciate them until they're gone. He'll be missed for that as well as his presence of being part of this grand community.

Great article, especially the Pete Jolly cover. Another under appreciated talent like Reid Miles.

My thoughts exactly. Brings me back to my time there. You can really get into those photos.

Anyone heard of this station. I found it through iTunes and they've been playing some funky greazzzzy stuff.

Forgot to mention Charles Kynard's Where It's At that Dan hipped a lot of us to. Needs to be reissued on cd.

Definitely a great one. I remember seeing him on Ken Burns' Jazz.

Anybody mention Richie Cole and since somebody mentioned John Handy, let's remember Sonny Stitt's Just In Case You Forgot How Bad He Is, featuring all three.

Oh well, at least I'm catching the last 15 minutes.

Here a few of my faves in no special order: 1. Shirley Scott - Queen of the Organ 2. Jimmy Smith - The Sermon 3. Fred Jackson - Hootin and Tootin 4 and 5 - Both Baby Face BNs. Didn't care that much for the Argos. 6. Johnny Hammond Smith - Good Nuff 7. Don Patterson - Genius of the B3 8. Shirley Scott - Blue Flames There are more; those are the ones off the top of my head.

Will this go into the archives since I won't be able to listen at that time?

I didn't order the Max Roach but isn't that a duplicate of what's on the Mosaic?

I've received my order and the Fol is a bit unusual but quite enjoyable. I am also listening to Guy Lafitte's Blue and Sentimental. He's very much a Hawk disciple but it's a great album nonetheless. Of note is Geo Daly on vibes. He's very good. Never heard him before.

I knew this thread was going to cost me!

I've got 5 of the 10 plus Don's Genius of the B-3 so that should count for something plus I only post 1/5 of Sangrey so I should be OK.

Patricia, My thoughts exactly. Earlier this year, after missing out on one of Ken's auctions, I started this thread. I hope it's not too maudlin to refer to it again. But I do it in Ken's memory and his time here on this board.

I don't think anybody mentioned Jerry Dodgion. He did a nice album earlier this year.

Man, that's awful news. I, as many others, bought cds from him and although we did not talk much, I did enjoy our limited correspondence. I'm quite shocked to say the least. Very sad.

I've got the CD issue of Lonely City so I'll do that one. It's almost done.

Oh, yeah, you're right. B-)

Well, I'll be 79 then so I better get ready.

It's all great man, but yeah, disc 2 is a great place. The Dinah Washington material on disc 5, 6 is pretty fabulous though. Do you have his BN and Pacific material. You should get that too.

Happy Birthday Moose I celebrate by, what else, drinki a moosehead. Moooooooose!

Too bad there's not a jazz equivalent.

I'm sure it's omission but what about the Jazztet and the Granz sessions. Also not issued here but in Japan are the Bill Evans Village Vanguard sessions. Both fine. For a shorter version, California Here We Come should get special mention.
