Brad

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.

It's good to see he's playing because I'd heard that not long ago, he was in bad financial straits.

No Bennie Green or Bill Harris. Great trombonists.

Thanks for the tip. I've got my eye on this one.

I'm running out to buy a bottle of Flintstones to see if I can find Betty. BETTY!

Late, thanks for giving the link to the archives. No idea they existed. Yes, a big thumbs up for the Archives.

*$%^ YOU! I assure you, you're the charlatan when it comes to listening, man. Dude, I think you're the one who needs to follow your own advice and relax. Now, charlatan means quack, imposter or fraud. So to say I'm a fraud (or a mountebank, also a synonym for charlatan) doesn't seem the correct word. Maybe you meant I wasn't a good listener. Perhaps you should consult a dictionary.

And survived to tell the tale

I really can't add more than what's been said already but with Tadd -- and Fats -- how can you go wrong?

What's on it?

It seems to me that those who got this got lucky and hey, congrats. But for those who knew that CD Universe was making an error and then taking advantage of that and then complaining about it when CD Universe realized their error, that's not right because you were taking advantage of their innocent error. It's one thing if both sides didn't realize what they were doing. But that can't be said here so I don't think you have anything to gripe about.

I don't know if Selects count but I've been listening to the Bud Shank Bob Cooper Select. Mighty fine, especially the Live at Cal Tech session. I always dig Claude Williamson (who sounds a lot like Bud) and this session is no exception.

Come on. All the guys I listed are making loads of money and they deserve a little if not a lot of heckling. Matt BULLSHIT. Kevin Mahogany is a fine, fine singer. You may question some of the material he's chosen to sing lately (though personally I enjoyed the vast majority of his Motown album) but he's still a damn good jazz singer. I am seriously disappointed and amazed at some of your recent statements, like Hutcherson being a terrible vibist, and now this BULLSHIT. I don't like negativity either and I didn't see your post or thread about Hutcherson being a terrible vibist but if you think that and haven't experienced Bobby in his many settings, then I have serious doubts about your ability as a listener.

I relistened to this and on the second go around it seemed to suffer some to me. I agree with those who think it's uninspired. Sounds like for the most part they're going through the motions unless Alfred was trying to make something like a Moodsville record. What saves this cd (and I agree with Soulstream) here is For All We Know. Here I find the playing inspired. Maybe it's this group together that doesn't make it. Maybe it's the tempo as Wesbed said in his very good post or maybe it just lacks bite, which is probably the same thing. However, it literally put me to sleep.

Here's a Gil Melle auction that is nuts and bidding is not over yet. I wouldn't be surprised if it hits $100.

Brownie stole some of my thunder but I picked up Nicky's Tune recently and this is an outstanding album. Anything with Jodie Christian has to be good.

Interplay but here's out of left field on which I thought he was very good: The Ivory Hunters Double Barrelled Piano.

Can't and never could understand the criticism on this one. I've always liked it. Haven't listened to it for a while but it's time for a spin. Here's another

What do you have against football. It's a great sport. I look forward to the EPL and the Bundesliga every week.

What about Franz Beckenbauer. He deserves to be up there. Strange that he's not.

Amy for all reasons mentioned above. The vibes sessions really are awesome.
