1ngram, there are two copies for sale on eBay at the moment and several more offered in eBay stores.

Not essential perhaps, but a recent favourite is: Jessica Williams : All Alone (Max Jazz)

Damn, and I thought I was so cool having Donna Summer's 'Hot Stuff' as my ringtone. Seriously though, if I leave it on vibrate I seem to miss at least half of my calls.

I was in the HMV Ginza branch yesterday and I noticed they are now selling a bunch of the Spanish Blue Notes at around $10 each. They seem to be spreading everywhere.

I know what you mean Jim, but when 'The A Train' plays as my wife's phone rings, it always brings a smile to my face.

Happy Birthday Jim. And thanks for maintaining such a great board!

Speaking of beautiful women, how is Jessica Alba in this? I always loved her in Dark Angel (must be the leather).

Could not agree more. There is nobody quite like Chandler and I never tire of reading his prose. Time to dig out 'The Big Sleep' and start again from the beginning.

There was their sampler CD of course. I bought this for around $3 before I had any of their box sets and it piqued my interest. Maybe time for a Mosaic Select sampler.

Have to disagree with this statement. From what I have seen this season Arsenal are every bit as dirty as Man. U. As a Manchester University graduate who once lived a stones throw from Old Trafford during the days when United were pretty crap, I will certainly be cheering for the 'reds' on Saturday. Anyway, as a Luton Town supporter, this has been a great season with the 'hatters' easily winning the first division (albeit, really the third division). Nice to be back in 'The Championship', previously know as the first division (actually the second division). Confusing?

Paypal would be best for me also. Definitely me preferred payment method. Checks aren't used in Japan either, I recently received a check for around $200 and it cost me $50 to cash it.

Three reasons: 1) too expensive for me, 2) I already got some of these dates and 3) I want to collect as many of the K2 remasters. I compared a couple with the regular CD's and I heard a big difference. I dont think the box was remastered like the K2. I have the Japanese version of the box set which is K2 remastered. Wow!! I did not that exist! I am going to check that out, but I know its going to be expen$ive. Probably. I was fortunate enough to pick mine up, used but mint, for less than $60.

Jim, I really enjoy his playing on Joe Lee Wilson's 'Ballads for Trane'. I picked up this CD last year as it was on sale for a mere $5 and it quickly became a favourite. If you like good vocal jazz then I cannot recommend this highly enough. I had never heard Joe Lee Wilson before and was very impressed. Basso's tenor sax playing is a bonus. It was released last year on the Italian Philology label.

No bonus/alt tracks, at least on those that I have seen.

Personally, I find it more enjoyable when they are still alive.

No accounting for taste I guess, but I love "Angie". Saw the Stones a few years ago at the Tokyo Dome and they remain a terrific live act. Don't know where Mick gets his energy from.

I would just like to add that the booklet accompanying the Mosaic set is particularly wonderful, even by Mosaic standards.

Late, thanks for posting the interview. I really enjoy his playing on a CD I recently bought, David Murray's 'Ballads'. And Jazz Kat, thanks for your thoughtful contributions.

Have to go with 1967 just for the Velvets amazing debut.

Just sent my contribution from Japan by PayPal. Good luck with the recording.

85. I would be delighted to make it to that age.

Yes, but MY GOD, MAN- the jazz record shopping there!! :rsmile: Very true.

Nobody. Kind of lonely over here in Tokyo.

That was quick. How did he manage to get himself banned within a couple of days? I guess his reputation preceeded him.
