Tardo, are you related to Bob Hammer? Sorry if this is something I'm supposed to know already...

Yeah, Mitch was cool. And yes, Hendrix was transcendent. Going from him to Ayler & Trane (when the opportunity arose) was, like, ok, this is a set-up, right, TOO easy. (and yes, I know, not that simple once the wade goes into a full swim and finally an immersion, but still...no resistance or hesitancy at the beginning...wish I had heard Sonny Sharrock right away then too, but it took Herbie Mann to get that to me!).

Ok, I'm new to Pandora, really liking the breadth of variety available (although perhaps not the depth, we'll see how that plays out over time...I'm starting to see different selections from the same few albums over and over again...), but my question to those of you have used it for a while is this - is there ever a point where all my finely-(a)tuned stations merge into one, like will I ever get to one station where Monday Michiru is followed by Morton Feldman is followed by Duke Ellington is followed by Bird is followed by Cathy Berberian is followed by AEC, on and on, or is my best bet to keep (a)tuning those individual stations and then at some point go into shuffle/random/whatever it is mode? Because that's what I really want out of a streaming music service, all that is good, and in no particular order. Or does Spotify do that better? Or, perhaps, whose dream am I having, and what time does the alarm go off? And really, this "Musical Genome" thing has me nervously laughing, looking at the "qualities" one piece shares and then seeing where it leads. This is particularity unsettling on the Monday Michiru station, where I guess they only have one album to offer (Soulception), and apparently they think that because I like a female singer doing original material with interesting arrangements and harmonic choices that I will then like a whole slew of female droney-ass "jazz singers" doing catatonic versions of tired old standards. Wrong! I quickly added some artists to the station, and have started getting somewhat better results (however, the depth of the catalog they have available really shows in some of these more niche-ier musics, at least early on it does). But equation-based taste is not any kind of math for which I feel any particular sympathy or enthusiasm. The only stations that have to this point behaved as I would have hoped/expected are the AEC and the Morton Feldman. Seriously thinking about creating a Paul Revere & The Raiders station just to see which way that goes. But life is short, even when it's free.

This link might help some: https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=do+not+sell+at+any+price+book&tbm=nws First result is the NYT article. The Times is getting better at blocking unsubcribed traffic, at least here it is. I got one click out of Google, and that was it.

Wondering if that particular cutout sticker/price indicates that it came from a particular source...I got a lot of records for that price around that time, as well as some for a little more, but none more than $2.99...including the two Joe Harriot Jazzland sides. Mind-boggling from today's perspective. But that big round orange 59 cent sticker, that one imprinted, for sure.

Maverick, Rockfish, Polaroid, Victor/Victoria, he was one of those guys who was there when I got here, just figured he'd always be there. RIP, and thanks for a large body of very enjoyable work.

A separate thread for later RCA back covers should be considered! but OMG i swear that this is the same cutout sticker that mine had when I got it in 1971(?)

Got some phone recordings I'd like to convert to MP3. There's more than a few listed, but I'm wary of malware/adware/etc. Anybody have any experience with some good ones that don't bring the baggage? I'd prefer one on my PC, but I guess on on the phone (Android) would work. The main thing is to get them converted to a shareable format.

Same here.Sounds like they miked the amp almost exclusively, although at 2:32, you get the bass itself. The low note that got away!

I'll keep an eye open for that, thanks!

Did anybody else receive this set with additional caseless CDs wrapped in bubble wrap for packaging padding? The sent me Journey by Paul Austerwitz, and something by Third Eye Orchestra. Nothing but naked discs and bubble wrap. The Third Eye thing, hell, I'd have paid money for it if I was looking for it. Really really good stuff. Don't know why they're giving it away, but, ok, do that then, go right on ahead. The CMS thing is just dandy, especially, for me, the Orchestral disc, especially the Oliver Lake material. This is an aspect of his with which I was not familiar, has he recorded any of his works for larger ensemble before? The examples here really grabbed my ear!

What's the sense in waking up dead? What are you gonna do then, be dead some more? I'm getting buried in the morning, (DING-dong) so get me to the morgue on time? Talk about a waste of energy, JEESH!

I'll always be grateful for Hard Again. Of all the things that could have happened with all of that (and didn't), hey, well done.

Yeah, "Locomotion" - and it sounds like it could've been a Hank tune from The Flip too. And believe me - Slide Hampton has a cult following of sorts amongst both trombonists and jazz educators. I don't mean that he's appreciated, I mean, they dig him in ways that civilian jazz fans might not comprehend. Considering the overlap between trombonists and jazz educators, there's your coincidental vortex of likelihood emerging from the horizon, right there before your eyes. Slide got peeps, and deservedly so, imo. Now, many of us have heard Blue Train about all we really "need" to, but maybe not so The Flip and A Day In Copenhagen. For those of which this can be truly said, let the needful be kindly done.

I'm confused...who's in the boat?

A message to his people.

There's a great version of "In The Heat Of The Night" with McGriff on The Dudes Doin' Business on Capitol. The rest of that record...not so much.

Ok, fantasy wish - Mosaic gets, culls, and releases Paul Bley's private tapes, everybody makes money, and there comes world peace. In that order.

and the aging classic rock audience! THERE ya' go!
