now on to something more positive. i saw frank morgan saturday night at the unitarian universalist church in marblehead, ma. he was backed by hilton ruiz, curtis lundy, and yuron israel. my summary: great artists giving an excellent show in a place with a wonderful vibe, all put on by an organization that really loves jazz. next weekend, it's the newport jazz festival!

you missed my point. i would have gladly paid the full admission price (or even more) for a full set. they refused to tell me when the set would end, telling me they wouldn't be charging me anything if there were only 15 minutes left. later, they tried to do exactly that. i've enjoyed myself at fat cat in the past, but i'm not eager to go there again. no offense luke.

some of the tracks feature burrell and blakey, while others feature mcfadden and bailey. there are no tracks that feature both guitarists or both drummers.

happy birthday lon!

you're not alone. i see this cd quite frequently in the used bins at different stores.

during this past weekend when i was in nyc, i caught the louis hayes cannonball legacy band featuring vincent herring, joe magnarelli, and anthony wonsey. as i expected, this is a very tight outfit that created some very upbeat, soulful music that harkens back to a magical band that i never had the fortune to see live. i also had the opportunity to see jimmy greene at the vanguard. joining jimmy was stefon harris, playing a new set of vibes from yamaha that adds four extra metal bars at the lower end. i joked with him that he should get paid extra every time he uses one of those added bars! again, it was a great night of jazz, made even more special by the fact that jimmy's family was there to cheer him on. after the vanguard gig i wandered over to fat cat to see peter bernstein. it was quite late (around 1am) and they still wanted to charge me full admission, even though they couldn't tell me how much longer peter would be performing. they eventually let me in with the stipulation that i could pay them something after the show "if i thought it was worth it." believe me, i wasn't trying to get in for free. it was just that they wouldn't tell me how much i'd be getting for my money. well, i managed to sit down in time for the last three songs (about 15 minutes). afterward, they tried to hit me up for $10. i gave them $5, and left with a good feeling about the music, but a loss of respect for the establishment.

i saw mccoy in may. he most certainly did not "shuffle off" like an "old man."

$31.50 with free shipping in the u.s. from barnes & noble.

i saw this also. unfortunately, i won't make it to the city until friday.

i think it might be jim cuomo.

That's Klemperer. "Jaaazzmooose!" I mean "Hooogannn!"

i'll be in the city on this weekend and have selected a few shows i want to attend: Jazz Standard – Cannonball Legacy Band Village Vanguard – Jimmy Greene Smoke – Javon Jackson Smalls – Fri-Sat, 10 pm - Matt Shulman; Sat.: 8 pm - Ned Goold; 1:30am - William Ash Kitano – John Stetch Trio anyone here planning to attend any of these shows? anything else going on this weekend that i should consider?

i didn't know the cd-r i burned when i owned the original suddenly became illegal once i sold, gave away, or lost the original. i'll have to take your word for it. in the end, the result is the same, isn't it. the artist doesn't profit from your buying another copy. funny how no one has commented on the issue of buying used and promo copies.

i don't follow your logic, as i don't necessarily see this as an either-or situation. perhaps it is the profits from popular reissues, along with those awful compilations, that ultimately can help finance the release of less popular titles. i can't see how poor-selling titles like the wilkerson and braith bns help further promote a label's reissue program, although i'm all for releasing them.

so, someone who burns a copy for playing in their car is ripping off the artist, since they should have bought a second copy for that purpose? don't get me wrong, i strongly disapprove of people who make multiple copies of cds and sell them for profit. at the same time, i wonder how many people on the board who are such purists when it comes to cd-rs have bought used or promo cds. the same logic would seem to apply in these cases. and what about the board's blindfold tests? think of the additional sales if everyone involved bought a legitimate copy of the aow.

i'm confused. how is lew denied royalties from the sale of three out-of-print lps that have never been reissued on cd? still, it would have been nice to spell his name correctly.

if you click on the bid history you get this message: Only actual bids (not automatic bids generated up to a bidder's maximum) are shown. could this mean that his bid will rise, up to a maximum of $33, as others people bid?

sent you a pm about the venus cd.

or it looks like you can purchase these jazz prints individually, directly from the artist. here's a link: ck studio

what a waste of (cyber)space.

i found a copy of the mobile fidelity version of cannonball's something else in a store that buys items from clearance, fire, and liquidation sales. cost: $4.99

I'm tired of lugging around my full-size cd/mp3 player when I do my three miles every morning. I plan to purchase a Creative MuVo TX FM mp3 flash player. It has an FM tuner, a USB 2.0 interface, a signal-to-noise ratio of 90 dB, runs on a AAA battery, weighs 1.1 oz, and is only 1.5" x 0.6" x 2.9". The 512mb version stores up to 8 hours (120 tracks) of music and costs only $79 at Buy.com (with a $10 off coupon).
