Holy Ghost

RIP. Grew up listening to Chuck Mangione in the late 70's early 80's and he had an impact on me was in concert band in middle and high school. One my favorites:

Still, wow! What an experience!

Right!?!?!? Never seen Herbie live, he can play Yankee Doodle Dandee out his asshole (quoting Nat'l Lampoon's Vacation) for all I care. I've seen the Wayne Shorter Quartet (front row seats!) and Ron Carter, both about 25 years ago, and they could've played a similar set list, and I wouldn't (don't) regret a second of it. So whatever Herbie plays, I am going to enjoy. Here's the band: Herbie Hancock, keyboard Terence Blanchard, trumpet James Genus, bass Lionel Loueke, guitar & vocals Jaylen Petinaud, drums

This is so cool!!! Speaking of Ozzy as a tv personality, I did enjoy watching the "The Osbournes Want to Believe" on The Travel Channel hosted by his son Jack.

Wall Street Journal too, as well as all the papers here in northeast Ohio, even the paper in the county I live in. CNN online has a nice area devoted to Ozzy as well. Yes, agree. first five albums, plus a six, Sabotage being my favorite: The birth of thrash metal can be heard here: Becomes clear, especially early Metallica that they wouln't have sounded the way they did, if it wasn't for this track. I believe Metallica played Symptom of the Universe at the Birmingham Black Sabbath festival. About Ozzy, agree Blizzard of Oz and Diary of a Madman (Bark at the Moon gets an honorable mention) sent Ozzy into the stratusphere.

RIP! This is very sad news, but Ozzy hasn't been well for some time, so this doesn't come as an absolute shock to me. But still, it's OZZY! Huge Black Sabbath fan, but only got to see Ozzy perform live in '85, during his flashier phase. Encores were Sabbath tunes, War Pigs and Iron Man, I believe were them.

I agree with you, never saw the set in person and never had a chance at it.

$14.00 or so? Wow, that's not a bad price at all. Wasn't this set going for insane prices a year or two ago?

Mistake, that's not LA; dude was in Miami in that hi-fli Vette, wow. Grew up in Florida, I can verfify those are Florida palm trees 😎

Wow!!! For three of us, plus parking, under $300!

I did the same. It was nice to RVG the first round of Connoisseurs (Components and Empty Foxhole excluded) but I kept a few Conns over RVG treatment, e.g. McLean's Destination Out! (sounded good to me). I'm too, a fan of the BN 10'' Connies series and just added the Foster/Wallington set (thank you, John!) to that amazing batch; only missing the Gil Melle 2CD set, but I have a TOCJ copy of Patterns in Jazz, so I feel I have them all. 😁

We already bought tickets, going to imagine it is going to sell out. https://www.clevelandorchestra.com/attend/concerts-and-events/2526/other-events/herbie-hancock/ Last major jazz performance I attended at Severance was Sonny Rollins in 2001. But wow, what a treat this is going to be!

Last Thursday, return to Severance Hall to see: Beethoven, Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 36, Stravinsky, Jeu de cartes & Ravel, Suite No.2 from Daphnis et Chloe. Franz Welser-Möst, conductor.

You're speaking my mind, that is exactly what I want! 😎😁

Splendid advice 😁

I love Chet, and my wife loves Chet too. We have a love song by Chet! Listening to now: Love this record, but the real spoiler is the one for her: Thank you Chet!

And don't forget that sweet white stingray he was driving around LA in

I bought them all but the Silver. At the time, the "Horace Silver Trilogy" never interested me. Think I'm still not intrested, but a "gutsy" release? Completely agree.

Like these stickers have always been a nuisance to remove; why couldn't the factory put these stickers on the outside of the CD case on the shrinkwrap? Some removed easily, but most left a string of sticky residue on the front and back, and that is if they nicely peeled off all the way. Most stickers splintered into several seperate pieces leaving more sitcky residue.

Yeppers! And Michael Cuscuna hurried and rushed to get the very rare, special material out before the Connies and RVG's came to an end.

Miss this series along with the RVG's, and Deep Grooves. Era's that have ended, but wow, the material they brought back to life!

The best Andrew Hill record of all time in my opinion. Period. For my wife,

Makes sense. Columbia Pictures makes sense as Clive Davis was an excutive at CBS at the time (I don't know about the movies) and get the Columbia connection, but Novus I thought was RCA's 'advant garde' wing, kinda like 'Virgin Venture' was Virgin's. Nice insight, this is a interesting story, thank you all for your imput.
