The Album was "The Definitive Jazz Scene" - can't be assed to check which one. There are three of those LPs and I have them all.

Yeah, right! lol

Awesome! Spelling far out. The couple look cool anyway.

Das ist ausgezeichnet! Choice, baby! The voice is deffo Kenny. He was from TX and no doubt knew at least un poco español.

Sad news indeed. I loved him in The Equalizer, and I have all the episodes on tape. The ones where Stewart Copeland did the music were the best ones. Stewart is a genius. I found a CD of Stewart's Equalizer music in Huntsville, Alabama in 1997. Mega rare, I guess. It's a pity he hasn't recorded more. He's so original.

Oooh, I love Dave's albums with Bill Smith. Check out "The Riddle" (Coumbia).

Philly Joe would have been better, musically, but I guess his "issues" got the better of him too often, and he wasn't Prestige's (nor Blue Note's) preferred session drummer, alas. Blue Note's Al Lion loved Philly Joe, and used him a lot. But he wasn't popular at Prestige.

I have the same problem with my USB memory stick. The stick, and its contents, are fine, but sometimes the pcs I use it on refuse to recognize all the files. It's just the pc's time of the month.

They did that with Miroslav's "Infinite Search"/"Mountain in the Clouds" album too. Bad production.

I never liked the stock Selmer plastic mouthpieces (and Joe did fabulously with his). I just use the Link gold metal ones on soprano, alto and tenor, and they do fine.

Mundo wasn't all that bad, and they have an extensive range. But I don't buy a lot of Japanese CDs.

I found that on an LP recently. Nice album.

Thanks for the tip about this one. Can't have too much Fats. I'd love to have heard Elvin Jones with him (no, really), plus a better bass player.

Bill was definitely an influence on Herbie, and so, at least second-hand, Nat Cole must have been. As Herbie is so versatile, you don't always hear it.

Le dernier cri!!

I wonder why he changed from it. I also saw it on TV without much lacquer (Zoot's was the same), but he could have had it relacquered. Also, he used the crummy black plastic mouthpice that comes with the Selmer, yet produced that awesome sound. You'd think he would have gone for the Otto Link. I wonder why he changed from it.

Sad to see that go. I recommend Mundo though. They give very quick and friendly service. As a backup, there is also hmv.co.jp - kinda pricey however.

There was a CD of Whistleman a few years back. A very tasty set!

Well it sure didn't last.

I ignore myself all the time - not just on websites.

If you are going to pay 50 bucks for a pair of name-brand undies, then you need to have your pants down low. Must be very uncomfortable. My son's friends manage to do it though. (For the record, for me, it's $7 at the Market of Wal for a 6 pack of undies.)

I agree texting while driving is dangerous, but banning just talking is just more bullshit from the "peace and safety" crowd. It sure is a nice money-maker for the Man in the UK, where the cops are now just tax collectors for the government. Next, they will make it illegal to adjust the speed on the heater fan.

Bill had already left Miles' group before Kind of Blue was recorded. Miles brought him in for that because of the nature of the tunes. Wynton Kelly wasn't right for them. Bill left the sextet partly because black audiences didn't take too well to Miles having a white pianist. I don't think Herbie was in any way influenced by Oscar Peterson. Never even heard that suggested before.

The "Super 80" isn't a patch on the Mk VI. I had to sell my Mk VI soprano in Canada for a car upgrade years ago. Regretted it ever since. I now have a Super Action soprano and the layout of the right hand side keys sucks. But it is playable.

Zweitausendeins had the Evans Riverside set for about $20 a few years back. That was a genuine deal and I picked up a copy. I'd already heard a lot of it years ago, but there was some new stuff too.
