You made it!

Best I can find is references to it...maybe it happened on the BNBB instead of here?

Wow, where did you find that on LP?!?!?!

No White Residue!

Think this is him? http://www.intelius.com/results.php?ReportType=1&searchform=publicrecords&qc=Las+Vegas&qf=Billy&qn=Root&qs=NV

Bird did so many, but...the JATP "Lady Be Good", anybody? Who was it, John Lewis? who said something along the lines of Bird took a Tin Pan Alley song and turned it into a blues? That's about right, imo. Between this version and Pres', I'm pretty much rurnt on that song now.

Time really wouldn't let him wait, I guess. RIP, he was a very, very good singer.

Calling all Plaster Casters!!!

I thought I did, but I guess I just remembered doing it without actually having done it. Hate it when that happens...Oh well, I'm in the pipeline now. It'll get here at some point.

Still having fun with this one...if you're a fan of the late-60s BN HardBop sides and not heard these should give it a consider. Very good music in that vein here, good compositions, good playing, good feel, very "organic" in a way that it didn't necessarily have to be.

Did you guys who have gotten shipping notices preorder? I thought I had, but then the release notice came out and I looked back and discovered that I hadn't. OOOPS! Just wondering how far back in line I am at this point.

My only concern is that my system is not really one that can get fullest benefit out of this. I've "gotten inside" this stuff for for about 35 years now, so at this point it's probably not a question of hearing anything new, but just hearing it differently, and even then, how much differently? And even if my system was better than it is, my ears are almost 57 years old now, and have been subjected to a lot of loud amps and cymbals, if you know what I mean. But still, in spite of all that, still tempted... Tell you what - y'all just go ahead and buy it on out so I can kick myself for not getting it, ok? Deal? Please?

Sadao Watanabe - Round Trip (recorded for Sony (Japan), leased by Vanguard) Q; What is the sound of a man being ripped apart and eaten alive on his own record date? A: Charles Lloyd on that In The Soviet Union record? Q: Well yeah, you might think that, but only until you've heard this one. A: Really? Q: Yeah, really. A: How's that? Q: Well, Lloyd and his band were only somewhat separated in terms of vision and ability, and besides, on that one, he sounded like he was just played out and the band wasn't, or if they were, not as much. A: And on this one? Q: On this one, it sounds like poor Sadao wanted to make a "free" record w/the hot-right-now NYC players (or somebody wanted him too), and they showed up to make THEIR music, not his A: So it's kind of like those Eric Kloss sides? Q: No, not even close. On those, the rhythm section was consciously respectful of doing their thing in the context of the leader's date. On this one, they really do not give a damn. Not for even half a second. A; So they rip him up, eat him alive, and it's basically a Corea/Vitous/DeJohnette shredfest with Sadao Watanabe as nominal leader? Q: Is that not essentially how we began this conversation? A: Yea, I suppose it is. Q: So how the hell do you think it ended up on Vangaurd? A: I do not know: Q: And I do?

This. No way not to.

Shopping for clothes in a color other than black? Just kidding - all-black clothes have been the prerequisite "hip look" for so long now that when a gig calls for it, I pretty much know it's going to be anything but. C'mon folks, let the sun shine in. Let there be real colors for a change. Seriously.

Way cool. Thanks.

Hmmm....a totally analog chain using the best available technology...that makes it tempting for this stuff...maybe not cost-effective (enough) for me personally, but...still very tempting...I like the way it was recorded and sounded originally, Imean, Max is a drummer who rewards close listening (sorry, was, RIP, I'm still not fully aware in my consciousness of a Dead Max Roach), so the notion of it being more better than ever is...tempting!

I know they're using analog masters to make analog LPs, but are they using digital anywhere in the mastering? Just curious.

I see arrangements by Torrie Zito, so now you really got me curious.

whoa... Ordered from here? http://wilburwareinstitute.org/events/
