I still do not know why it is that i can't see these things when i am in the office. Maybe it has something to do with the flash player that we do not have?

I enjoyed them, but don't think they are necessarily essential. Soem nice blowing by both. I will have to check out that sale. There are a few Dickerson recordings on SteepleChase that I would like to add to the collection.

I don't own much of this at all. I placed an order. For the price it is worth the risk.

I can't help but wonder how much of that was really a Miles influence on Rivers? Didn't Williams play with Rivers before playing with Miles? So isn't it possible that there is actually no direct influence? Just a thought.

I think Redman and Mehldau are both talented musicians, but I do agree that both had the misfortune of being overhyped a bit and to date have not lived up to the lofty expectations. Over the years as my listening preferences have evolved I have cooled on both of them. After the YaYa3 album I kind of soured on Redman during the Elastic Band period. I thought the first album was fairly fresh and the latter a bore. I have, however, really enjoyed the SFJAZZ Collective, but that is the sum of the parts as opposed to Joshua Redman. Speaking of bore - this is no lie - i actually struggled to stay away during a Mehldau solo performance a couple of years ago in Litchfield. Trust me - I was not the only one. With that said, although I do not go out of my way to spend my little bit of extra money on either and there are many people I would listen to before, I have beeb able to enjoy both in various contexts from time to time. I will also confess that Redman's Back East is also in my yourmusic.com cue - even though it has gotten pushed down a couple of times. (and yes I do own a few Reggie Noble discs and my brother even interviewed him when he was trying to start a grass roots hip hop magazine years ago).

Joe Romano is still with us, he's about 78, and lives in Port Townsend, WA. The record that he made with Sam Noto is great. This reminded me of a live gig I a couple of years ago from Nick Molfese's daughter from Casblanca(?) with Noto, Romano and Sam Falzone in the front line.

I ordered it directly from AUM Fidelity last week, but have not had a chance to listen to it yet. Maybe I will move it to the top of the listening pile. I enjoy all of the participants playing, so I have high expectations. I heard Brown live with William Parker's Quartet in January in Vermont and it was a terrific concert. Looking forward to hearing this one.

Thanks for the response to both of you. Earlier I sent my friend an email inquiring how much he is willing to pay. I will get back to you hopefully later this evening.

Does anyone have a copy of this recording on CD that they are willing to part with. A friend is looking to replace his original vinyl, but in the various online sources he has search the OOP CD is hard to find for anything less than about $40. If someone would be willing to part with this CD at a price lower, let me know. Thanks.

After seeing this over the weekend I had hoped to print out the article, but for whatever reason the image is not visible here at work. Anyone have any idea why that would be? Is there something about seetings or something I need to change?

You almost had me. I have been meaning to replace my Carter Gramavision recordings on vinyl with the CD version. Good thing I read the entire post.

I own the LP set, but have never heard the King issues. I am no audiophille, but I always thought the sound on the Mosaic was very good.

As far as I can remember I only own the Byard and Stanley Cowell discs. I enjoyed both a lot.

I suppose no one has actually heard this particular recording, but does anyone know what the personnel is? My primary exposure to Vu has been as a sideperson on a couple of Myra Melford performances I heard. I can't say the little I have heard has made a significant impression on me, but the few posts in this thread about Vu's other recordings and things I have read elsewhere have me at least a tiny bit curious to learn what his music is about.

Since this thread seems to have a little life left in it, I feel obligated to disclose that I did make the decision to stop writing reviews for Jazz Improv at this time. I made the decision for a number of reasons. The primary reason was a time management issue, but I also had some doubts about my own effectiveness. So it is probably a good idea for me to do a little woodshedding - get more technical knowledge, broaden my reading just to enhance my general writing and maybe try again later on when life's responsibilities will allow me the time to devote to becoming as provocative a writer as I would like to be.

Just to report, I have listened to this disc a few times the past couple of weeks while driving. Chronologically, it was recorded (2000) in the middle of the other four releases which were recorded in 1996, 1999, 2001 and 2002. The performance is firly consistent with the other releases. So, if you enjoyed the other trio discs, this should hit you as more of the same.

I have it and if it is not one of the discs i had to separate from the case and booklet following the flood you can have it for a below market price. I will even consider a trade if you have anything you want to get rid of. Send me a pm or email.

Karen Borca is a terrific basson player. Love how she contrasted with Jimmy Lyons on several recordings.

Last I checked all of the sets were still available at the SFJazz site. Has something changed? I still need to get the last two sets.

For anyone that can not wait, this one is already available at CD Baby. I ordered it yesterday and it has been shipped.

The one I personally was probably most guilty of overusing was some variant on "rewards repeated listens". The inability to avoid cliches is yet another good reason for my decision to stop pretending to be a jazz writer.

This is the fifth season. The first four seasons are all available on DVD and if you become obsessive about it like me (I have watched all of the seasons at least 2 or three times), you can get through them pretty quick. - Each season is only twleve episodes.

Thanks to HBO making episodes available on On Demand a week in advance of their airing on HBO, I do know what happened to Omar. I won't spoil it for everyone else though.
