The chemo lowered my white blood count and immunity to non-existent and I came down with something that didn't agree with me. I tell you the cure might do me in faster than the Cancer. One thing is for sure it really is cutting down my weight. Though I wouldn't really recommend this as a form of weight loss. I wont bore you all with descriptions of all the multi-colored yawning and other nasty things. Though let your imaginations go on the rainbow of colors. I would especially like to thank Jim and Ghost for sending me emails and PM's. I only got back 3 days ago and just got around to getting online tonight. So I am sorry for not responding to them until now. Hopefully I will be getting back enough energy to get back into my usual posting mode.

This is an ambitious project! Here's my 2 cents worth: Artist: The Quintet Album Title: Jazz at Massey Hall (20 Bit Mastering) [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] Original Release Date: May 15, 1953 Remastered date: August 20, 2002 Label: Debut Here is the AMG Review: The music on this CD features the famous Massey Hall concert which teamed together (for the last time on records) the unbeatable team of altoist Charlie Parker and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie along with pianist Bud Powell, bassist Charles Mingus, and drummer Max Roach. The full quintet performs six of their standards; listen to Bird burn on "Salt Peanuts" as a reaction to Gillespie's clowning. This is timeless and highly recommended music. — Scott Yanow Here's the Amazon.com review: Editorial Reviews Amazon.com essential recording One of the most famous live recordings in jazz history, this May 1953 concert from Toronto brought together five of bebop's greatest figures in alto saxophonist Charlie Parker (credited here as "Charlie Chan" in a purposely transparent attempt to sidestep Parker's exclusive recording arrangement with another record company), trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, pianist Bud Powell, drummer Max Roach, and bassist Charles Mingus. Released following Parker's death two years after the date, the recording finds him in remarkable form, his playing robust, pointed, and witty. And although each participant is a band leader, composer, and groundbreaking stylist on his instrument, the performance demonstrates that Parker remained first among equals. Compositionally, Jazz at Massey Hall leans heavily on the bebop book developed by Gillespie, and includes "Salt Peanuts," "Wee," and "A Night in Tunisia." Also featured are Tadd Dameron's "Hot House," the Ellington standard "Perdido," and "All the Things You Are." Initially released on Debut Records, a label co-owned by Mingus and Roach, the sound quality is certainly of the time, but has benefited over the years from digital technology. --Fred Goodman In my humble (and often ignored) opinion, this is a cornerstone cd!
