Look, just say "looking for" & "in any format". The message will be gotten, and no rules broken. Makes life easier all around.

I really don't think the issue is whehter or not one should "try" to "innovate" nearly as much as it it is whether or not one should listen to one's gut when said gut says to go a different way, even if it says it in a faint whisper. There's a lot of external pressure (and sometimes even more internal pressure) to ignore that voice of the gut, and it takes a lot of courage to not only listen, but to follow through on that call. Now, if one's gut never makes that call, ok. But I think it's a rare human who goes through life without hearing it at least once or twice. The gut probably makes that call a helluva lot more times than that, but conditioning prevents a lot of people from hearing it. The ones who do hear it and do act on it are by no means guaranteed success. But oh well.

Sanborn's Heart To Heart has a very nice cut w/the Gil Evans Orchestra playing a Gil chart. The rest of the album is "typical" Sanborn of the time, but that one cut is a keeper.

HP all the way here. Last I heard, Dell's printers are Lexmark w/a Dell nameplate. Avoid.

Well, now that you've done it, you have no alternative but to provide free burns for everybody who reads this. That'll teach those thievin' bastards!

I was referring to Abebooks, as referenced in the linked thread.

Oh hell yeah. Covered in baked beans, she was!

Noto played w/Basie for a bit as well. He's seen/heard on one of those old Swingtime videos of some weird 1960s "Meet The Bands" shows.

And fine work it was!

Can't leave out Monk/Blue Note. Seems that the annotation used to be more,,,,interesting than it's been lately.

According to http://blog.tmcnet.com/telecom-crm/2005/04...er-customer.asp Claire is a robot. And according to the same thread, Caiman and somplace called Abebooks seem to run hand-in-hand.

Up front, let me say that I've never been all that much of a Simone fan. BuI I like the "Remixed" thing just fine. On a 1-10 scale, I'll give it a 7.5. A few are "strictly for the dancefloor", but by and large it rewards listening as well as dancing, and maybe it's the recontextualization of the vocals that appeals to me. Definitely not for "purists", but I gave up on that quite a while ago...

Clark Terry?

No, Dan's said that everything's shipped from there. Caiman themself refer to their "suppliers", which could mean anything, including a big distributor in Miami who services many clients, not just Caiman. Agree that there's nothing inherently "sinister" about them, but I'm pretty close-to-the-vest when it comes to online transactions, and a company as "controversial" as Caiman is not one which engenders my confidence.

First bone soloist was Phil Wilson. Didn't catch the name of the second guy with the glasses and the funky stance. Henry Southall.

Nice clip, but GODDDDDDDDAAAAAAMMMMMMM!!!!!!!

"You Gotta Take A Little Love" used to be a staple on Bob Stewart's various radio programs. Found the LP back in the day and have always enjoyed it, even if the players sometimes sound like they might be having other ideas about what they'd do if it wasn't Horace's gig...

Alos, my employer services mortgages from the Virgin Islands. I've not seen one yet with a monthly payment of over $100.00. If that's any indication of the overall cost of living down there, then somebody could do really well raking in in an extra how-many-ever hundred/thousand/whatever a month of intrest on unfilled orders that have yet to been given refunds. I'm not saying that the operation is a scam masquerading as legit (plenty of satisfied customer here). Just that they certainly seem to do business in such a way that "forthrightness" is not necessarily Priority Number One with them, and that they certainly seem to have no incentive (at this juncture) to make it so.

But mortgage companies work on revenue in the tens of millions of dollars. When you add all those deposits together, one extra day of interest makes a huge difference. Not so much when you're talking about one CD, even if its a thousand such CDs a week. I take it then that you don't order from any Amazon Marketplace dealer then? Because the card is charged approximately one hour after you click "place order" on the Amazon site (since you can't cancel Marketplace orders so easily, they give you a little time to think it over). Once the money is collected, Amazon informs the seller, who is *supposed* to ship in a timely fashion. But they've charged your card long before shipping. Goes to scale of both intent and time. No, Caiman won't be making the mega-bucks that my employer does, but I don't think that's their aim. My employer's a public company who's already one of the industry leaders. Caiman's most likely just some folk(s) in the VI raking it in with no worries, especially about legalities (the VI is also home to alot of those high $ toll-call services with seemingly American area codes, which is not really relevant to anything except that I don't think that the government-sanctioned "business ethics" of the VI & those of the US are on the same page) . Also, even if it's just hundreds of CDs a week instead of thousands, you're talking weeks and months, not days, of holding other people's money on orders that will never be placed. If they gave refunds within the specified Amazon timefram, no, there probably wouldn't be much too much gain in it for them. But it seems clear that they drag out the refund process way past those parameters, and yes, it all adds up. Only ordered from an Amazon Marketplace dealer once (not Caiman), some import Shonen Knife CDs for my daughter's birthday a few years ago. I held my breath the entire time. Well, we got some Shonen Knife CDs, but one of them wasn't the one we ordered. But she was happy, so I was happy. Still, I was leary of the whole process, and still am, unless it's a "known quantity" like Newberry. I really don't like the billing before shipping thing. In this days of omnipresent EFTs, I don't think there's any justification for it.

http://blog.tmcnet.com/telecom-crm/2005/04...er-customer.asp If they charge your credit card immediately & then dick around for a while if they can't fill the order immediately and then make you ask for a refund, it's a no-brainer - they're making interest on the money. How many times a day this scenario is repeated, I haven't a clue, because some of y'all have had nothing but good experiences. But there's definitely money to be made doing that. Quite an old scheme, really, and legitmate businesses do it as well. The mortgage comapny I work for is very conscious of getting their deposits in by 2PM instead of later in the day/night becasue of this "float". Besides, anybody who charges the card before shipping ain't getting my business, just because. Besides, I notice that they don't issue receipts themself. Whazzup w/that?
