Face of the Bass

Interested in thoughts and opinions on the Bix tomes that are out there. Is Finding Bix worth checking out? Jean-Pierre Lion's bio? Sudhalter's book? Which is the first one to read?

Bump with several new additions

Bump with a couple of price drops.

Okay, thanks!

I just signed up. But yeah, I can't see it.

I'm not on the Hoffman forum. What is WTB?

Shortcut to the Grave and MIngus are gone. If anybody has any interest in the Islamic music box or the Gal Costa box, let me know. Both are fantastic sets if you want to get into Brazilian Tropicalia music or the music of North Africa and the Middle East. Here is a bit on the Music of Islam box: http://www.harmonies.com/releases/19907.htm
