  1. Maybe the Spanish label is cloning the Mosaic set. If so, this option is cheaper than buying a second-hand box.
  2. Are they legit? Were the masters for any of these albums lost in the Universal fire?
  3. Thanks. Would have made a great twofer CD, assuming both would fit. EDIT: I see there is one of these. I'm assuming it is a grey market release?
  4. Jazz piano trios had a real audience between the late 1950s and late 1960s, if all the cheap second-hand LPs I've found are any indication. Anyone know if Live at the Pershing Vol. 2 is from the same sessions, or was it recorded later as a follow-up?
  5. Great record! I found this and a lot of other Ahmad Jamal albums for a dollar in the 1990s.
  6. The liner notes to Prestige 7413 (Wild and Warm) correct an error in the notes to Prestige 7336. It says he arrived in the US from Jamaica in 1939, when he was nine or ten years old. Apparently the previous album (which I don't have) states something different. For whatever that's worth.
  7. It is impossible. It exists in the player's head, but if believing this makes them play better, who are we to judge?
  8. My Dad told me that in Gordon Jenkins arrangements, when Gordon would play those single-line counter-melodies in the medium-low register of the piano, he would rapidly shake his finger back and forth as he held the final note, as if to give it a vibrato. Obviously, this is impossible to achieve on the piano, but it must have worked for Gordon, at least in his head.
  9. Jazz is most at home in the home.
  10. On the other hand, music recorded at home can have a relaxed, offhand quality that you don't always get when the studio clock is ticking. This is why home demos are sometimes much better than the finished product.
  11. Technically, "birthday" applies to the living" and "anniversary of birth" applies to those who have shuffled off this mortal coil. I took a middle path approach in seven words.
  12. Today would have been Benny's 111th birthday!
  13. I oppose all forms of contraception. No politics, please. In all seriousness, I share your love of cats.
  14. A name-dropping former music professor, upon flubbing the chords to "Lady Bird:" "Tadd would kill me if he heard that!"
  15. No spoilers, but I will say this: The first maybe three seasons were good, but it becomes less and less believable after that. IMO. I believe that the next season will be the last.
  16. That is your interpretation. On the other hand, since this is a Jazz message board, it is fine to post the cover art of We Insist: Freedom Now, which is inherently political. The image that I posted came with no commentary. Whenever you climb out of a sinkhole in Plant City, I'd love to get together for a cocktail or three.
  17. Here she is in The Jack Nicholson Story.
  18. She was great in Mad Men.
  19. And which rules would those be, officer? And thank you for reposting my pic!
  20. Well, you don't have to buy it. I'm not spending money on it either, but I have no issue with it being out there.
  21. The technology is in its infancy. It will be fascinating to see what it can do in decades to come.
  22. We already have this, and you are presumably still alive. Artificial intelligence has composed a Bach mass that is breathtakingly magnificent. It analyzed everything Bach wrote in order to compose this. I'm totally down with it. You can hear a story about it on the NPR show Radiolab. https://interlude.hk/ear-beholder-music-composed-artificial-intelligence/
  23. "Perfect" is subjective, and my perfect jazz solo may not be someone else's.
  24. I wish I did not know this, but such is life.
