  1. it looks like the photo i posted was not, in fact, the one used for the cover, but one that might have been included with the accompanying article. grazie.
  2. can someone tell me which issue of downbeat featured this bob parent photograph of marian mcpartland on its cover? thanks in advance.
  3. got milk? i mean, got money? check out can-am cd storage
  4. I'm not a big fan of Moody, so I'd suggest you consider The Panther! which features Tommy Flanagan, Larry Ridley and Alan Dawson.
  5. robviti

    Tommy Flanagan

    Tommy Flanagan, Coleman Hawkins, Major Holley & Eddie Locke
  6. it's my understanding that klone and taiyo yuden are both made by mitsui.
  7. No, that's this one: or maybe this one? B-)
  8. i'm posting this in case someone is looking for a good deal on great cdrs in a jewel case. american digital is having a sale on cases of 100 silver klone white-face (inkjet printable) 80 min/700mb blanks individually shrink-wrapped in jewel cases for only $29.96. their shipping is quite reasonable. sorry, u.s. orders only (they plan to begin shipping to canada soon). here's the link: klones
  9. funny, but the reason i've never purchased anything from this seller is i thought their prices were rather high. i understand it's new product, but they seem to always want top dollar for the things i'm looking for.
  10. here that link: ryles jazz club
  11. imo, you're only spoiled if you don't appreciate what's been given to you. we're very thankful, so i prefer to think of people like us as the fortunate few.
  12. speaking as a shrink, there's such a thing as being wrapped too tight!
  13. "And The Angels Sing," also known as "Freylekh In Swing," is an adaption of "Der Shtiller Bulgar."
  14. once ya catch 'em, whaddaya gonna do with 'em?
  15. yeah, i can see where you'd get confused.
  16. also: Paul Whiteman Harry James Ziggy Elman Mel Torme Herbie Mann Herb Alpert and don't forget great composers who provided a starting point for jazz improvisation: Irv­ing Berlin Jerome Kern George and Ira Gershwin Oscar Hammerstein Richard Rogers Lorenz Hart Alan Lerner and Frederick Loewe Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg
  17. sonic recordnow! came with my dell. it's basic, but it serves my needs.
  18. I can't say how nice and easy compares to lytle's other releases, but i do know that i like it. i don't think lytle's lack of recognition necessarily stems from his failure to embrace the freer aspects of the music like hutcherson, dickerson, and others did. instead, i think that his playing may lack a certain distinctiveness to some ears. that, and he plays an instrument that, for many people, doesn't command the kind of attention a reed or brass instrument does. don't get me wrong, i love the vibes. B-)
  19. yeah, but the winning bids are in the $60-90 range. i'm guessing some of these sets are promos and others were originally purchased from music clubs. also note that yourmusic4less is one of the sellers.
  20. Eddie Jefferson wrote the lyrics to "Moody's Mood For Love" in 1952, but King Pleasure recorded it first.
  21. damn. it looks like bud will be in alabama when i'm in town.
  22. i'm really, really sorry, but i just had to do it. btw wesbed, i'd appreciate any jazz or restaurant recommendations you might have for tucson. my parents winter there and i make an annual week-long visit in april.
  23. i know it's only a smilie, but damn, that's disturbing.
  24. has anyone read davis's book, writings in jazz?
  25. Dr. Davis is featured on a 1964 recording by Eric Dolphy that has been issued as Last Recordings ( DIW 320), Unrealized Tapes (West Wind 2016), and Naima (West Wind 2048). There are two other recordings by the collective Roots on the In + Out label: Stablemates and Saying Something. Then there are his four recordings with the Paris Reunion Band. Have any of you checked out Dr. Davis's webpage: nathandavisjazz.com? Apparently, he's the head of the Jazz Studies Program at the University of Pittsburgh. The webpage includes a full discography that lists seven leader dates other than the ones mentioned in the original post. The webpage also features some sound clips from a fairly recent release called Live Jazz at Pitt: the 25th Anniversary Concert. From the webpage: "This double CD captures some of the best musicians in the world recorded live on a most historic occasion. By calling on Grammy-nominated recording engineer Dae Bennett to capture this exciting evening on a recording, jazz fans everywhere now have the chance to hear the historic convergence of jazz greats James Moody, Grover Washington Jr., Nathan Davis, Jon Faddis, Randy Brecker, Patrice Rushen, Abraham Laboriel, and Idris Muhammad." You can order the 2cd set directly from the university bookstore for $15.95. P.S. Here's a Japanese concert poster, also from the website:
