Earl Hines--Plays the Hits He Missed (Realtime Direct to Disc, German pressing) Clifford Jordan--Hello Hank Jones (East World Direct to Disc, Japanese pressing) Both LPs sound fantastic. Does anyone have any other direct to disc jazz recordings?

In case there are any flamenco guitar fans (and vinyl fans), I noticed that an excellent RCA Living Stereo, Carlos Montoya LP, recorded live at Town Hall, seems to be attracting no attention in this ebay listing. Both the performance and the sound quality on this one are outstanding. (I can't vouch for the seller, though). http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...=tab%3DWatching

The Jazz Makers (Columbia anthology, six eyes)

It does appear that the 3 for 2 sale only applies to the somewhat lackluster list of selected CDs. That email was very misleading.

Herbie Mann and Joao Gilberto--Recorded in Rio De Janeiro (Atlantic mono) Louis Armstrong--Hot Seven volume 2 (Columbia, six eyes)

Bad cheek implants, for one thing.

The Incredible Carlos Montoya--Historic Town Hall Concert (RCA Living Stereo)

Grant Green--Idle Moments (Blue Note, Liberty, Van Gelder) Beatles--Rubber Soul (Capitol, mono)--The first LP I ever bought, way back in 1966 or so, it still sounds great. The Brazilian Guitar of Luiz Bonfa (Capitol, mono).

Junior Mance Trio--That's Where It Is (Capitol)

I wish I could be there--it's a great venue.

Someone's on Microsoft's payroll.

Yes, that's an excellent DVD.

I purchased this recently from bmg, it is wonderful! I find it intersting that some musicians are able to convey warmth and authenticity while others just sound cold. This album, to me at least, is very moving. Particularly 'Love is' A good record. I saw him leading a quartet a couple of years after this recording--it was quite good but he inexplicably only played for 40 minutes or so in each of his two sets. I wonder if he was unhappy with his fee.

Next, I recommend a mac.

I suggest the HPB on Northwest Highway in Dallas, but only if you stop at my house before going there. Actually, I suspect HPB pays among the lowest prices obtainable.

I was under the impression that places like Atomic Records in Burbank, and presumably our friends at Dusty Groves, still pay for collections. The Jazz Record Center and Academy in New York as well.

An organissimo forum member?

Grimes' wife sent out an email alerting fans to two upcoming gigs with the Symphony for Improvisers Double Quartet (Dave Douglas w/ J.D. Allen, Henry Grimes, and Andrew Cyrille; and Roy Campbell, Jr. w/ Mixashawn, Hilliard Greene, and Hamid Drake) performing Aug. 24 in Saalfelden, Austria, and Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy,on Aug. 28. This group put on one of the best concerts I've seen in recent years (with William Parker on second bass being the only personnel difference). "Mixashawn" is Lee Rozie.

It was done by Fantasy on LP--The Great Concert of Eric Dolphy.

Pee Wee Russell and Henry Red Allen--College Concert (impulse) Dick Katz--Piano and Pen (Atlantic, black label)

Sonny Rollins--The Bridge (German RCA, mono) Booker Ervin--The In Between (Blue Note, Tosiba)

Yes, I was happy to hear the stereo version for the first time (my LP is mono). Hopefully Debut in Blues is on the horizon.

I'm looking for a large number of Eric Alexander and Ray Brown CDs, but I can't find any anywhere.

My first opportunity to visit the Village Vanguard, circa 1984, George Coleman was playing. I believe they were recording, but I haven't run across the record, if it was ever issued.
