Teasing the Korean

I especially like the bonus tracks on this CD, which are from another (jazzier) session.

Both "Paris Concert" albums by Bill Evans on Elektra/Musician.

But some of those US albums were good, such as "The Beatles Second Album," "Yesterday and Today," the "Help" with the spy instrumentals.

He did a nice bossa session in the mid 60s, which has been reissued as a budget CD on Laserlight. He also wrote lyrics to several George Duning film themes, including "Bell Book and Candle."

TTK, Soft Machine Volume 2 is one of my favorites from the era! How's the Desmond? I think you'd like it. He does all Edu Lobo and Milton Nascimento tunes, and they both play on the album. Most of the Edu Lobo tunes are the famous ones, such as "Crystal Illusion" and "To Say Goodbye." Available on CD, and the vinyl regularly pops up for short dough.

July 14 was the 40 year anniversary of the release of "Bee Gees First."

Didn't Lalo Schifrin include "Rite" on one of his Jazz Meets the Symphony albums?

It's hard for me to imagine that anyone who has it together enough to buy a Mosaic jazz box set - let alone even know or care enough to want one in the first place - wouldn't already be knowledgeable and sensitive about racial issues already. How can someone knowledgeable about jazz not know about the history of African Americans in the US? That said, I can certainly understand that examples such as these still have the power to offend - as evidenced by the whole "Huck Finn" controversy a few years back. I respect someone's right to want a refund for such material, but I also respect the right of a record company to reissue it - especially if it has historical or artistic significance.

I have it. It is/was available on CD, with the artist listed as 101 Strings instead of Skip Martin.

Well, at least someone met a benchmark...

Apparent to a parent?

In retrospect, it's hard to believe there was a time when Phil Collins could have been involved in such a cool record.

I felt that the ending went beyond heavy-handed into the realm of unbelievable. Survival instinct kicks in at a certain point and trumps whatever biases a person has. Still, it was good up until that point.

Not familiar with this film. But, on a related note, I was surprised to find out that there was an actual soundtrack release of "Odds Against Tomorrow" in a addition to the MJQ album. The actual soundtrack came out on CD on Sony in the early 90s and has much more music and a larger group. Overall, I like it better than the MJQ album, although I like MJQ's "Skating in Central Park" more than the film version. They are both worth hearing. "Odds Against Tomorrow" had the potential of being a decent B noir film, but unfortunately the film COMPLETELY unravels in the final few minutes. The audience was laughing out loud at the end. Too bad.

I believe the red vinyl was used for mono and the blue for stereo. So, you may have an original stereo pressing.

BTW, I AM THE MAN I JUST DESCRIBED - THE MAN WHO READS PLAYBOY - except that I lack the muttonchop sideburns and one of those CTI lithographs. If I find a litho, I promise to grow the sideburns.

Where the hell did I post that? Was that this thread? Something about a guy with muttonchop sideburns kicking back in an Eames lounger on a flokati rug, with an arco lamp, listening to "Fire and Rain" from Hubert Law's Afro Classic on reel to reel - with a litho of "Moon Germs" on the wall...

Greatest record store I've ever been to. I still have dreams about going through the dollar bins. Happy Birthday!

For a long time, I was more into the Riverside albums than the Columbias. A while back, during a period in which I was moving, there was a point when I had only a few jazz albums with me. One of them was a Monk Columbia collection called "Always Know." It was a double album with previously unreleased tracks or longer tracks that had been issued in edited form. Because I only had a few jazz albums with me, I put this on a cassette and listened to it non-stop for a few months. It changed my view about the Columbia period. Granted, one of the drawbacks about the Columbia albums is there are a huge number of quartet dates and not enough guest musicians. But I love that quartet!

Thanks for the suggestions - I'll check 'em out.

My computer at work remembers my login, but not my computer at home. I don't remember my password, and clicked the "login problems" link a few times to retrieve my password. I haven't gotten a response. Because I only spin vinyl at home, naturally, I guess this means that I'll no longer be able to contribute to "What Vinyl Are You Spinning."
