Hope you have a great B-Day, brother!

They farmed this out years ago. It’s been a major disfunction ever since. I suppose if neveronfriday knew this, he’d not have gone on his xenophobic tirade, since American customers have experienced multiple problems with them as well.

What’s a gool?

Hope it’s a great B-Day, brother!

Oh wow, that’s awful! Even my 2007 Toyota Camry with a 268hp V6 got 28! I got it up as high as 34 on a trip to Cleveland.

Unfortunately, THAT apple fell a long, long way away from the tree.

No doubt. As I said above, I do miss the experience. Wether it was hanging out at our locally owned joint after school playing video games in the back and perusing albums and cassettes, all the way up to stopping in at Downtown Disney after a night of partying with friends at City Walk to peruse the endless aisles of CDs at the Virgin Megastore while simply soaking up the amazing ambiance of the monster store teeming with other music enthusiasts. I miss it all. But I’ll cherish the memories and gladly move forward, on from something I feel incredibly lucky to have experienced.

$2.69 here in mid Missouri.

That’s a great point. Though, aside from some of my Persimmon golf clubs, I never buy used anything online.

Relics from the past. I used to love going to record stores. From locally owned all the way up to the gargantuan Virgin Megastore. I miss the experience, but I witnessed and enjoyed it. Now I shop from the comfort of home. Fair enough tradeoff, I suppose.

Ah! I was not aware of that session. I agree with Guy, that would be a fun listen! Expression is one of the few quintet dates I truly love. It would be interesting to hear them as a quartet, although it likely wouldn’t sound too different since Trane and Pharoah weren’t playing at the same time all that much.

Hope it’s a great B-Day, brother!

The final quartet? Do you mean quintet?

In this age of immediacy, personalization, and the shortened attention span that accompanies it, you have to go extreme to try to break through the noise and get people’s attention.

Just had a salted caramel brownie from Cosentino’s in Kansas City. Simply divine!

Yeah, it was certainly an entertaining read. About as disjointed and wild as Zappa’s music.

Oddly enough, I discovered both Coltrane AND Dolphy via Zappa thanks to Ben Webster’s biography, The Negative Dialectics of Poodle Play!

That was my introduction to both Eric Dolphy, and what eventually turned into Free Jazz, which occupied my listening habits for about two decades. So, yeah. Me, too. But that still doesn’t diminish the greatness of A Love Supreme.

That fair, and I agree that it’s a better choice than the “complete sessions” this or “legacy edition” that. The kind of bunk that has been the bread and butter of Jazz labels the past couple of decades. I guess my point is that I’m more interested in hearing something new. Not slight variations on things I’ve already heard hundreds of times already. “Hey, remember all that stuff he played in ‘63? Well, here’s more of it!” *yawn* It took me a long, LONG time to “get” A Love Supreme. I’d probably rank it in my top five Coltrane albums nowadays.

I’ve been through it three or four times, and agree with your assessment 100%.

This is now th third thread mentioning this, yes.

I don’t think it’s jaded at all. I have 92 discs worth of Coltrane as a leader. I’m reasonably convinced I’ve already heard him say everything he had to say. And I’ve already heard him say it, MANY times over. The Olatunji Concert was the last “new” release I bought, and I think it soured me towards purchasing any later “lost recordings”. Like you, if I hear plaudits and claims that this is way beyond anything else we heard from him before, I may add it to the collection. Otherwise this news is a big meh, in my book.

Thanks, gents! Heading out with my buddy Scott for our annual birthday golf round in an hour. Temps will be in the 70’s!

It’s a thought, I suppose...
