must be "the luck of the italians" on the other hand, i just received one of my orders. the blues calendar i was going to give my brother for his birthday was badly bent. that's what happens when you ship a 12" by 12" item in a 10" by 13" box.

not true. i use firefox and i've made several purchases.

Just a heads up for my auction of a sealed copy of Mulgrew Miller's Landmark recording Wingspan. This is the original issue, not the 32Jazz reissue. Wingspan

well fine, who wants your stupid ol' copy anyway.

i noticed this line on the webpage: "This product was added to our catalog on Thursday 15 January, 2004." anyway, a board member has offered to help me out. thanks all!

My brother's birthday is coming up and he's wanted Gary Bartz's There Goes the Neighborhood for a long time (heck, so have I!). Can anyone who owns this disc provide me with a lead? Thanks.

add two more to the list:

i'd like to draw your attention to greg abate, a fine alto sax player squarely in the bebop tradition who lives in rhode island. some of his recordings, like candid's straight ahead, are great blowing sessions with a solid band (claudio roditi and hilton ruiz on that one). my favorite abate title is aptly called evolution. it's a little more open-ended than his others, and it features some great playing by james williams and billy hart. being "under-the-radar," abate's cds often can be found for very little money. definately worth a listen, imo. here's a link to his website: abate

thanks guys.

Hey folks! Could someone please tell me who originally produced the 3/8/63 session that was released as Lucky Thompson Plays Jerome Kern and No More (Moodsville 39)? And while we're at it, did Richard Alderson record Lucky Thompson Plays Happy Days Are Here Again (Prestige 7394), and was this session produced by Don Schlitten? Both sessons were included in the twofer Happy Days.

Not even to call in at Mosaic Records? Well, if they had a retail store...... if effect they do. i've purchased several sets from them in stamford while on my way to nyc.

there's several copies available at amazon marketplace.

stereo jack's should be your first stop. they're located across the river in cambridge at 1686 massachusetts ave. between harvard and porter squares. nearby, there's planet records at 54B jfk street in harvard square. in boston, there's looney tunes at 1106 boylston street (a block from mass ave.) you might also consider stopping at one of the newbury comics locations. they feature new and used cds. use the store locator on their website: newbury stores

From the website of the New England Conservatory: "During a week-long residency at NEC, Roscoe Mitchell will work privately with NEC students in coachings and rehearsals, and will offer public workshops and a concluding concert of his music with NEC students. Mitchell’s breadth of musical interest is expressed in his request to work with three very different student groups: a jazz group, a group of Contemporary Improvisation students, and a string quartet with singer. This week's masterclasses with Mitchell, on October 3 and 4 culminate with this evening's performance of Mitchell's works (Thursday, the 5th)." The concert is free to the public and will be held at NEC's Brown Hall at 8pm this Thursday. Here's the link: Roscoe Mitchell at NEC

Thanks Valerie. I checked his website (www.ramsessart.com) and found this information: "The 2007 Jazz Calendar measures 11"x 23" with prints 11" x 14". Each print is suitable for framing. January through December monthly calendars feature birthdays of some of the most celebrated jazz artists in history. As an added feature annual Jazz Festivals are also listed." The cost is $15 plus $4.95 shipping. Here's a list of the artists featured in the calendar: Rosemary Clooney, Art Blakey, Max Roach, Bill Withers, Clifford Brown, Kenny Burrell, Milt Hinton, Brandford Marsalis, Dorothy "Hazel" Scott, Jack Sheldon, Nina Simone, and Lester Young. And here are a few of the pictures:

Btw, I've enjoyed my 2006 giant William Claxton wall calendar, and had planned to buy the 2007 edition. Check out the back covers of each: 2006 2007 I count eight repeated pictures from 2006! Maybe the publisher figures no one buys a jazz calendar two years in a row. Well, not that one anyway!

The other day I was looking for an item to fill my shopping basket so I could use a coupon. What's relatively inexpensive and absolutely necessary? A calendar, of course! So I thought I'd start this thread to share some finds and get some suggestions. Here's a pretty good jazz calendar that I will likely purchase: front back and you?

thanks for the video links rt. there's no doubt that jimmy page was very talented. however, for my money, the yardbirds's best guitarist was jeff beck. and one of my all-time favorite songs that features both beck and page:

the only two things to like about billy joel: 1) the well-crafted pop solo by phil woods on i love you just the way you are 2) early on while paying the bills as a cocktail lounge pianist, he performed under the name billy martin

right you are! however, there's another twizzle that might have inspired our fellow board member: "Twizzle was a boy doll who ran away from a toy shop. He soon joined Footso, a little black cat with big paws. Together they built Stray Town, where all the stray toys in the world could go and live in peace, safe from a world where their young owners pulled them about and treated them badly. In his many adventures, Twizzle met and made many friends. Among them were Jiffy the Broomstick Man, and Chawky the white-faced Golliwog. With them were Polly Moppet, Candy Floss the momma doll, who couldn't say "momma", and Bouncy the ball who'd lost his bounce. Twizzle was so called as he could extend, or rather 'cri.. crick" his arms and legs, and be tall as a lamp post, or even taller! Twizzle's pride and joy was his brick-red Breakdown Van, which he got off his garage mechanic friend in exchange for a sprite sportscar, given to him by a doll he had saved from a burning house. Footso liked the van better, too, as at least he had legroom!" for a real hoot, check out the little bugger's theme song: twizzle theme
