That's good news, all these are on my Blue Note wishlist (I didn'g get them because of the CD until now). they are among the 10 cds i keep in my office (more would look decadent i thought), just switched from Think! to Heavy Soul, they're a great bunch!
-
would buy that one immediately if i saw it as non-cc... has anyone?
-
iirc these used to be cc but i bought non-cc copies at the local store: Ike Quebec - Heavy Soul Grant Green - Grantstand Lonnie Smith - Think! Jackie McLean - Destination Out i also remember seeing the Joe Henderson disc with the larger ensemble (Mode for Joe?) as non-cc while the copy of the quartet disc (Inner Urge?) they had was still cc, also some of the Dexter Gordon discs were non-cc while others still were cc
-
Lonnie Smith - Think! usually can't resist when the local brick and mortar store has something that's remotely on my want list... always decide not to go there anymore, because i never get what i need most badly , but then i like brick and mortar stores and i don't really know what i need badly... have spun it twice so far, nice, but i think i will listen to Turning Point more in the long run...

there was one sideman date where Nat Adderley really stood out that i listened to recently... don't have it here to check but iirc it was Don Wilkerson's Texas Twister... get that one while you can still get it at least at a half-decent price! The REAL Sonny Cox was the alto player with a sixties Chicago organ band called The Three Souls. Made two LPs for Cadet under that name and one under Cox's name (augmented band). Cox sounds rather like a chicken being strangled at times. MG see that organissimo thread i've quoted... if Larry Kart says the're the same person...

wish i still felt like that
-
never heard of Sonny Cox... but taking the info from this thread that he is the same person as the basketbal Snny Cox http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...mp;#entry341737 funny to see him (still?) discussed on basketball boards... http://blogs.suntimes.com/preps/2007/07/ma...inois_it_g.html like this post: there was one sideman date where Nat Adderley really stood out that i listened to recently... don't have it here to check but iirc it was Don Wilkerson's Texas Twister... get that one while you can still get it at least at a half-decent price!

Happy Birthday to a fellow Yurpean, fellow Redhead and and now also fellow 26 year old... (i would correct the topic title if i knew how...)(ah, it's really aparxa and not aparaxa)

had posted this before, but just in case..., steven isoardi's extensive interview with Lee YOung is found here: http://content.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/hb4w10...i&brand=oac
-
i only know the first four of them, but imho the third art of the trio disc is by far the best ("Songs" featuring a great version of Nick Drake's River Man)
-
click on options in the upper right corner of the first post in any thread, in the menu that opens click on "switch to standard" under display modes...

a much better formulation of what i had thought... (similar for Booker Ervin with Andrew Hill...?)

In Child Porn Case, a Digital Dilemma

just what i wanted to write... very interesting indeed -
What's This Grammatical Device Called?
Niko replied to JSngry's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
may have to do with the fact that finding rhymes in English is easier than in other languages (can only compare with german haven't tried others)... hate it when they do that in song lyrics... -
I've never heard it other than for a female in England. thank you... these names ending on "y" are tricky, like Sandy is female but Randy is male...
-
wish i was as clever as you thanks!
-
slightly off topic, i need to write a letter to someone's secretary... is "Tracey" a female or male name (or more accurately, can i safely assume it is female... it is a person in england)
-
i only have two of them, "Kenny Dorham's" Soul Support, which contains the Rocky Boyd album and the Dave Bailey album that features KD minus one track, Osmosis, (but including the trio tracks without KD)... so a bunch of excellent music for the money, though, of course, i'd have preferred two cds with alternate takes... and the Charles Tolliver Loorsdrecht album, no complaints about that one (except that the sound sucks on both cds, but that may have been the case already on the black lion releases; and that they look ugly and that the liner notes would have been better if i'd written them and that means something...)
-
titles that are available elsewhere in their complete context? (looking at the track list, the final ben webster titles seem to be part of a Black Lion album i have, There is no greater love...) ... should i get it?
-
i've been wondering about this item here... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Three-Tenors-Don-B...6128&sr=8-2 is it a compilation? is anything complete on it, like one complete album plus other stuff, or...? thanks in advance!

!!happy birthday!!

could it be that joe guy really hasn't discussed on this board (just writing this post so that i can search for it...) edit: from google i see there is this thread http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=5803 why doesn't a search for "joe guy" deliver it? especially as i can find it searching for "Lawrence Lucie"
-
is there any way to find out which post it was?

i always thought that the percentage of really talented people who spent their lives creating "better jazz" or "better classical music" is not as large anymore as it used to be, i am not saying that there were no single people who are tremendously talented in these fields anymore, what i want to say is something like, if all the great jazz musicians who were between 1920 and 1930 would have been reborn, say between 1950 and 1960 or between 1975 and 1985 only few of them would have become jazz musicians again... (no idea what they'd done instead) similar thing i believe ís true (even truer) for classical music in 20th century... this may seem offtopic to some again but i saw a young jazz singer on television recently, in one of these casting shows, and the moderator said, in a rather neutral way, he found it brave of her to try to compete with the others singing such an unpopular genre, and she said "well, i just like it when a song has more than 5 chords in it"... does she really count chords until she knows whether she likes a song... many people become jazz musicians for very dubious reasons these days and others who might have been great jazz musicians did something else (and then again, a very famous mathematician told me that he had never thought about studying mathematics (he wanted to become a poet) until he took a rorschach test after finishing high school http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorschach_inkblot_test of course, dubious reasons don't necessary imply that the results are not great)
