Well, I tried yesterday but got stiffed. The clerk was prepared to accept it but then saw "no online sales". My mistake was reserving it through their inventory system. So he calls the service manager. She knew all about these and said it applied only to computer books or something. She further explained that if you read the whole thing on the website, it only applied to those kinds of books. Hard to argue with that. That's the way it goes.

Glad to be able to get it for you

And now for my next predictions: Ebay will never succeed as a good idea and Enron stock will take off

This is not fair . Mosaic and EMI are engaged in huge conspiracy to take my money away .......... and it's working!

It's over dudes, stick the proverbial fork in them because it looks like the Yanks have caught some marlins. Let's get it over asap and get the f***ing parade finished so I don't have to think about these guys or deal with Yankee fans until March.

Since I'm going back in time, which means I can change history, I'd want to see Rudy record Bird, Lee Morgan, Grant Green, Sonny Clark, Paul Chambers and Art Blakey. Well, I can dream, can't I?

I just received the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra Live cd today and it's everything described in the AMG review. Very fantastic arrangements and playing. This is one of the best big bands I've heard in a while. Highly recommended. They take paypal too.

At the risk of repeating myself from another thread, how about some of the earlyl BN stuff. BTW, the Erroll Garner is an excellent suggestion. There's a lot from the early years (40s) and early 50s that needs to be Conned. Not to belabor the point (although I haven't done it in a while), how about a Three Sounds Conn, if a Select won't be forthcoming for awhile. When Conns come out, I'd like them to reflect all the kinds of music that BN has reissued in its history. I'd say the most recent set was weighted towards later years.

Well, I'm going to try this today with the MJQ box. Let's see what happens. I'll leave mysyelf enough time in case I have to argue with the manager.

Sal, there hasn't been too much discussion but see the following Eldridge Thread. See also AAJ Eldridge Mosaic Thread.

I just talked to Mosaic about this and their estimate (obviously subject to change) is mid to late November.

Now that Lon mentions it, there are several BN swing sessions that could be reissued. I'm sure many don't even realize that Alfred recorded a lot of swing before he caught on to hard bop bandwagon.

In the hope of getting out some worthy recordings that need to see the light of day (instead of or in addition to some of the post-1965 material that's been suggested), I offer the following: (after all there was jazz before 1960 ) Dizzie Gillespie - Horn of Plenty Lou Donaldson - Quartet/Quintet/Sextet, part of the New Faces, New Sounds series - this one is is need of remastering. Wynton Kelly - Piano Interpretations, part of the New Faces, New Sounds series - this one is also in need of remastering. Wade Legge Trio - New Faces, New Sounds Sal Salvador Quintet - I have this in JRVG and this needs to come out in the U.S. Lionel Hampton - Jazztime Paris Best from the West - Modern Sounds from California, Vol. 1 and 2 - Any music from Herb Geller, Conte Candoli and Stan Levey should be RVGed.

Tony, Thanks for posting that. I had no idea Quicksilver had a web site. I've just put in my order and really look forward to getting it. I've loved Tadd ever since I was exposed to him. A favorite of mine is the Barry Harris recording that he did for Xanadu, which I was able to get a few months ago.

Wish I had Chris' view. Since I live in the burbs (sort of, it's more country), I usually wake up to a lot of grass and deer nesting in the grass. It's very relaxin but not as invigorating as waking up in the city.

Tom, Dan and Philly Q have made some very good points so I won't elaborate on them too much. I may have missed this in some of the posts but when Pedro came out in the seventh, he pointed to the sky; that is the sign that he's done and secondly, he was being congratulated by Nomar and the other players. He believed he was coming out after seven. I don't believe Grady is coming back and he shouldn't. For all the good things he may have done, when it gets down to crunch time, he's got to use his head and he didn't. Yesterday, on WFAN in the New York are, Bob Ryan of the Globe was interviewed. He said that there's no way Grady will get his contract renewed. All of Boston hates him. He'll be reviled all next year. The ownership is image conscious and he doesn't see how they'll be able to tolerate what will happen. In his view, this is worse than '86 because although they were one strike away, here they lost to the Evil Empire in their own fuckin' stadium. That's what going to do him in, according to Ryan. Do you know how sweet that would have been for this Yankee hating Mets fan, it would have been beyond sublime, to stick it to every Yankee fan on Friday? One more thing, I've come to agree with Dan, there is no curse, just bad luck and stupid decisions. That's your fuckin' curse. Regarding the World Series, I think the Marlins can beat them. This could be a replay of one the 1990 WS where nobody gave the Reds a chance to beat the mighty A's. It could happen. Everybody laughs at the Ms beating the Evil Empire but why not. I like McKeon's attitude. With that attitude, they could.

Yes, I actually did buy the Junior Mance - Eric Alexander cd that was written about a lot. I'm trying to buy the Continuum cd that just came out and would if it weren't on backorder. Thanks Dan.

I've listened to the disc and really enjoy the music Jim has picked. Haven't really tried to figure out what is what but that's not my purpose here. I was driving my son home and listening to it in the car, when he took his face out of the video magazines and said he really liked number 2, the vibes selection. High praise to Jim from a boy who thinks rap is cool.

Didn't mean to mangle your words. You are correct. There are many wonderful sessions of all kinds on this set.

Among some of the nice sessions Louis Smith has done for Steeplechase is a duet album with Jody Christian. You wouldn't think that kind of combo would work but it does. Louis just doesn't get enough attention.

Jimmy Jones, who appears on this cd also appears in a lot of the music in the Mosaic box, which I highly recommend and love. Not all of it is like Lon says. There are some interesting sessions with Johnny Richards and Quincy Jones. Even if you're not a Stitt fanatic now, if you get the box, you will be.

This is a hellulva choice. Way to go Paul. Grant, Larry Young. What a combination. Looking forward to listening to this again.

Talk about ripping your heart out. There's only person to be blamed for this loss and that's Grady Fucking Little. Did he get fucking brain lock or what? What the fuck! I haven't this about a game in 15 goddamn years. I can only imagine what Red Sox fans like Dan must be feeling. They must be sick to their stomach. You just want to vomit

You're a sick (but funny) dude

I received an email from Stateside Distributors today, announcing a couple of new reissues, including the following, which may be of interest: SCCD 36031 - Dexter Gordon - "Wee Dot/My Melancholy Baby" featuring: Dexter Gordon (ts), Atli Bjorn (pno), Benny Nielsen (bass), and Finn Frederiksen (drums). Recorded live at Montmartre Jazzhus, Copenhagen, June 10, 1965. 24 bit, 96KHz remastering. Includes performances of "Take The A Train", "What's New", the two title tunes and others. Total playing time 48:34. UPC# 71604360312 SCCD 31546 - "Jam Session - vol. 7" featuring: Louis Smith (trumpet), Mark Turner (tenor sax), Billy Mitchell (tenor sax), Andy LaVerne (piano), Jay Anderson (bass), and Billy Drummond (drums). Recorded in September 1997, this session re unites Smith and Mitchell for the first time since the early 50's when the younger Smith used to sit in with Mitchell , Tommy Flannigan, Thad and Elvin Jones at various clubs in Detroit. Subsequently, Mitchell went on to work in the Lunceford, Millander, Gillespie, and Basie big bands. For a period he was Stevie Wonder's musical director. This was Mitchell's last recording before he passed away in 2001. Louis Smith is known to listeners of SteepleChase Jazz recordings as a leader of 11 previous sessions. His early recordings made for Blue Note are considered classics. Mark Turner is the youngest member of this frontline and has recorded extensively in the 90's most recently producing a series of CDs for Warner Brothers. The rhythm section of LaVerne, Anderson, and Drummond are found all over SteepleChase's offerings of the past 20 years and have done much to define the label's sound. Tunes include; "Autumn Leaves", "I Loves You Porgy", "My Romance" and others. Total time: 60:22. UPC# 71604315462
