I called Mosaic and was told it will be in this month sometime. Then I ordered it.

B3TLES is another fine album. WGVU radio featured Taxman, Dig A Pony, And I Love Her and Can't Buy Me Love on Monday night. Tonight we'll feature All You Need Is Love, Dear Prudence, Come Together and While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

Ordered the Eldridge...whoops, no, it's GONE again.

I thought the Jazztet went out of print a few years ago??

I don't have it in front of me, but yes, he mentions Jimmy Heath from that track. His reaction/ratings are all positive. He praises Roscoe Mitchell solo tenor track highly, for instance.

I miss Lacy

The two local record stores in my area sell lots of used equipment. I bought a cassette deck a few years ago to make tapes for my 90s Toyota. It works! Cheap, too. Nice Denon component for 29.00 bucks... would've been 250.00 back in the early 90s.

It's out. Double CD "In The Beginning" An Octet. So far, very good.

I bought the Dizzy Gillespie small group box two weeks ago, and cracked the first and sixth discs. The sixth one didn't even make it out of the case, and it snapped almost in half. Glad to hear Mosaic responds well to these mishaps. I'll contact them this week to see what they can do for some replacements.

Why? Finish the story, Chuck...

I played "Randiculous" "Up in the Playroom" ""Never Can Say Goodbye" "Three Sisters" and "Patteson's People." Great tunes, wonderful performances. Every tune will get some play. Ralph is perfect for the band. Also, the package itself is cool. Congratulations, guys.

Dedicated is great. "Randiculous" and "Up in the Playroom" will hit WGVU FM tonight, and probably a few other tunes from the disc as well. Always exciting to program the brand new Organissimo album.

They're terrorizing my co-workers and myself this summer.

I got smacked in the back of the head by a male red-winged blackbird last week. They're nesting right next to the office parking lot.

New York Is Full Of Lonely People. That was the highlight of that night for me.

I change my stylus every six to eight months, as I average 15 to 20 hours of vinyl listening per week. On cartridges, my assumption is they last indefinitely, it's only the needle that needs to be changed.

Grabbed it, will be swinging.

I saw/heard the Basie band in the late 70s and early 80s live, when the Count was still healthy. I've also caught the LCJO a few times in the past 20 years. No comparison. Even when the Count could barely play, when his health was failing but he was on the bandstand, with Thad Jones leading the band, the Basie Band killed in comparison to LCJO.

I'd put the products of Bell's and Founders up against any beer in the world.

40 bucks is too good a price to pass for a box I've been drooling over for years. YAY! Ayler!

I was told by a musician who wanted to submit his CD to Jazz Times that the magazine responded that to get a review he had to take out an ad. That seemed fairly unethical to me.

The parents gifted me with cash which I spent on the Braxton Mosaic. Yay!

Wonderful night. Great bands, a great, enthusiastic audience. There was a lot of love in that theater. Turning Point sounded just as I remembered and Juniper Bear lived up to the raves I had heard. As Lazaro said, loved the Mach/Randy duo to open the music up, with a bit of outre-avantedness. I hope this can happen again!

I want this, but first I need to spring for the Braxton.
