    Today's Haul

    my opinion is that this thread doesn't belong in the artists forum. you'll get better responses in the recommendations forum or the miscellaneous music forum.
  2. it was reissued in 1994. it pops up now and then in the used stores, but you can get a digital download now from an ebay seller for under $20 if you don't want to wait.
  3. thanks for the input. sounds like one i can pass on.
  4. so i take it that nobody here owns it or has heard it?
  5. January 1st Milt Jackson. Born 1923. Al McKibbon. Born 1919. Israel Crosby. Born 1919. Susannah McCorkle. Born 1946. and i finally reached 1000 posts!
  6. Repetitive Stress Injury
  7. why am i skeptical about this claim?
  8. she ain't that bad, especially when you consider the competition. still, i wish she'd lose the star search histrionics. maybe that will come with age.
  9. ah-ha! so this is where the anal-retentives are hanging out. only kidding guys!
  10. can anyone describe, review, or just comment on this release on the savoy label? Vinson Hill Trio Vinson Hill (p) Ronnie Markowitz (b) John Lee (d) April 11, 1966 Night and Day Sav. MG 12187 Pokes Theme - Indian Spiritual - Bess - Lavender's Theme - Young and Foolish - After - Rubato Jazz - * Vinson Hill Trio (Sav. MG 12187) thanks in advance, m-kay?
  11. The usual arrogance when threads like this one pop up? ← arrogance: overbearing pride evidenced by a superior manner toward inferiors. i'm feeling neither proud nor superior, i just don't like their music and never did. deal with it, it's called personal taste.
  12. obviously it's not that crazy. there's an identical set with a current bid of $501. some people want what other people got. 'taint nothin' crazy 'bout that!
  13. even their name sucks.
  14. all newbie-kidding aside, guys, i have a few older cds by mercedes sosa and they are quite good imo.
  15. i just got home from seeing da boyz. to tell the truth, i had planned to attend mostly out of loyalty. i was not prepared for what i saw and heard. these guys are very good, and they put on a great show. by all means, if you have a chance to see the band, don't miss them!
  16. from the show's website: CHRISTINA AGUILERA & HERBIE HANCOCK perform their duet, "A Song For You" from Herbie's new CD, "Possibilities." so there!
  17. the answer is no, except for one pause between tracks 5 and 6.
  18. what on earth possessed you to post a picture of stooge imposters?!? here's the real thing:
  19. i have this cd. all i had to do to make a copy on my hard drive was hold down the shift key while loading it into the computer. this prevents the auto start that installs the imbedded software. it's that simple. i don't have an ipod, but i would imagine you'd have no trouble loading this copy into itunes, right?
  20. i recommend spending the extra few bucks to get the recent 20bit K2 reissue.
  21. does this title feature the same tracks as serenade & blues?
  22. lon, with all due respect, the salvation army gets none of my money. their ongoing discrimination against gays and lesbians has been well-documented. hell, they have even been sued by their own employees who were non-christian for discrimination!
  23. we finally agree!
  24. i'm still a big fan - of the music they created over 35 years ago. imo, most of these musicians (pop, rock, etc.) don't age very well. i have little or no interest in what the stones, mccartney, page, plant, and most of the other aging rockers are doing today. they had their time in the sun, and thanks to their recordings, i can still enjoy those days. i pray i never grow into one of those middle-aged farts you see in the audience at an oldies concert. mind you, listening to older jazz musicians who still have their chops - now that's a whole different story!
  25. they can be purchased cheaper elsewhere. for example, buy.com has the lou rawls and don ellis for 12.98 with free shipping on orders over $25. buy.com frequently offers coupons for extra savings as well. in addition, overstock sells them for 12.78 and they're 12.59 at cd universe, but both of these vendors charge for shipping. do a froogle search on the title you want and go for the best deal.
