Holy Ghost

And I'll start I am a Roger fan through and through, but Rafa now has as many French titles as Sampras total...and Pistol Pete doesn't even have a French tucked in there; in fact, never even got near it! Why I bring up Fed? He got one, but if it wasn't for Soderling taking out Rafa in the quarters, he could've maybe never had one either. But in terms of greatness, I'm willing to concede, Rafa is perhaps the greatest tennis player (open era) of all time. I mean 14 major French titles alone?!?!?! Sick!

Woahh!!!

Man, this thread is getting to me. RIP! If it wasn't for Jackie's Destination...Out!!! I would've never known about GMIII! Like how I discovered Grant Green on Lee's Search for the New Land, who would've known what a gem was tucked in there. Man, this hurts.

This dude lived jazz (Miles, Lou, Pepper, Chet, Gerry...) This life is tough. Abandonment, how do you want to call it, the "industry" turned their back on Hank. 80's, blah.

Yeah. Knowing what he left us, a treasure, this is sad. I can't imagine not having his records in my listening realm. He really gave us everything and left everything in return.

This dude got him beat. Who's got that dude beat? Mal Waldron. That's who. Every fucking cover, he's smoking. Think that dude lived, breathed and dreamt about cigarettes. Only time I think when it comes to puffing big time is Blakey, or that Elvin Jones and Richard Davis Impulse record, where they're smoking like there's another carton more to smoke. That whole album cover is smothered in smoke.

Us at the concert. That's me and my wife on the right. Oops I meant left, those are our friends on the right, me and my wife are on the left. Check this out. Being a jazz nut, love metal, this is really, really, cool.

One original member left. But this was a sweet show. Worth every second: bizarre, unique, in German! Captivated.

Well if we're going to weigh in manuscripts/books v. movies, my first big let-down started with Copulas' adaption of Hinton's "The Outsiders;" couldn't stand it. Hated the cast, acting (can't stand Ralph Machio, Matt Dillon) clearly the director (Nick Cage's uncle) I was 12 when that crap was released.

Yes. Got my copy today. If you want this package done right! Contemporary Records always sounded good. Nice to have these discs in UNIFORMED format and then the original cover for Something Else, seals the deal. My opinion, because I like things done right, buy!

I'm just messing around. I get this movie and The Natural confused all the time; two totally different actors!

Not a medical doctor, but guessing tobacco. Dude liked to smoke.

ON CD ( and I think RVG got the remastering right) but this is some of the most INTENSNSE music released by BN. Period.

Take that Hank Jones too.

My biggest issue is get it right. There's nothing more annoying when a original album is re-released with some stupid new album-cd sleeve that makes no sense (32 Jazz) and they change the labels etc. I'm beyond how to file them; I'm embarrassed where to put them (if I even think about even buying it.) I know, "its about the music" but I can't tell you how many times I have to find the "right" sleeve and make a glossy cover of it so it's right and slip it over the ugly sleeve (Clifford Brown/Tubby New York sessions Columbia sleeve (replaced) cd version gross!) those hared Arista album covers especially Marion Brown! (Fontana/Phillips/Polydor!/Epic) (blahhh). OCD much? Guess So.

Love that Hawes album cover! Today, I treated myself to the Contemporary Ornette twofer and Blakey in Tokyo.

Think everyone is thinking Field of Dreams. Liotta. Ed Harris, Kevin Costner, James Earl Jones.

Sorry, Goodfellas, ladies and gentlemen.

Yeah.

I know what you mean, I didn't mean his life was a waste, what he left for us to enjoy is immeasurable, but the substance abuse cut it short was all I was saying.

Still sad. A tremendous talent wasted to alcohol.

Any pre-1970 Cecil is a treat in my book.

Kind of strikes me looking like Bennie Maupin, though I don't think he ever recorded for the label. In support of that defense, nor did Ayler.

Just curious, looking at the OBI strip on top, CBS has rights to distribute Candid records? Seriously, I don't know. Yeah, totally didn't see the connection. Thanks! And at Jazzcorner, I'm really losing it, where is the options button??? Nevermind... Anywho, about those awesome Prestige records posted above, good stuff.

Ignore that post above, I don't know how to delete it, but this what I meant to quote. Just curious, looking at the OBI strip on top, CBS has rights to distribute Candid records?
