  1. Went to see "One Life" with Anthony Hopkins. It's a weeper, but well made, I thought.
  2. In Phil Schaap's supplemental notes to the cd release, Mulligan said he liked this one the best of his "meets" albums for Granz. They do appear to be enjoying the date.
  3. That's about the right age. I have to feel like I'm 3 or 6 to like them......which I do on rare occasions!!
  4. I have to be in the (very!) right mood, but I've been known occasionally to listen to the FF+2! I recently got this one, mostly for Rosolino, but I like Bob Burgess's trombone on it too. And the sound is good.
  5. Happy birthday, Mr. Shatner! While I am a hopelessly committed Trekker, I still think his best work was with James Spader on "Boston Legal"!
  6. In the event, he proved sadly prophetic, dying at 33. What a great bassist he was!
  7. I think we may have discussed that possibility before, maybe in the first go-round of this topic. If memory serves, it would be a pretty big set, though I'd certainly be up for it.
  8. Yes, I loved that one, especially the ending. I thought all the best pic noms were good this year...well, all I've seen. Haven't seen "Anatomy of a Fall" yet.
  9. Listening to Disc "C." Sound was good on these radio transcriptions.
  10. I love movies and go see a lot of them, so I always watch the Oscars. Of course, living on the west coast helps. I record it and then can fast forward through a lot of the glop. Robert Downey had a cool speech, Ryan Gosling did a good musical number, and Kimmel was ok.
  11. Me too--and in about the same year and grade! Handed to me under a desk by a friend as if we were in a spy movie!
  12. Hmmm. Wonder what they'd pay for all my Buddy Bolden cylinders........ and those Earl Hines early 40s airchecks with Bird and Diz....
  13. This time, an Ellington cd at random, listening to Tricky Sam Nanton playing the plunger on "Johnny Come Lately"
  14. Closed my eyes and ran my fingers along the A's and came up with this one. Fun date.
  15. I loved the performances in that one, but I found the film music often kind of irritating and off-putting. Which is odd, because I generally love film music!
  16. I loved the old Vintage series, and this one especially among them!
