kh1958

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.

This is the first one I've ordered. http://blogs.chicagoreader.com/post-no-bil...-gets-groovier/ Dusty Groove gets groovier by Peter Margasak on July 12th 2007 - 5:51 p.m. Already a great record shop and mail-order service, Dusty Groove in Wicker Park recently expanded its business even further, becoming something of a record label. In the last couple of months it’s released five out-of-print albums on CD, all of them licensed from Universal Music. If any retailer is in a position to start a label, it's Dusty Groove. The store sells tons of second-hand vinyl all over the world, so it has a pretty good idea how much demand there is for a particular item, and owner Rick Wojcik routinely tracks down releases from all over the planet—Brazil, France, South Korea—so he’s got a pretty good handle on what’s available. The first batch of releases, unsurprisingly, appeals to a very particular niche market, and Wojcik considers it as a test run to determine whether it's worth doing more in the future. An album like Seasons by keyboardist Pete Jolly (a jazz-fusion record marked by a wide array of electric piano, organs, and Wurlitzer) is the kind of music only a crate-digger could love, but titles like Funky Skull by Melvin Jackson (who plays an almost psychedelic, effects-heavy upright bass over taut, heavy grooves) and The Rubaiyat of Dorothy Ashby (a trippy and funky jazz session inspired by the work of Omar Khayyam that features Ashby on untypical string instruments like harp and koto) deliver a broader, if still limited, appeal. To me the new label is already a success, if for no other reason than its reissue of Força Bruta, a brilliant 1970 album by Brazil's Jorge Ben and the first of his many collaborations with the funky soul group Trio Mocoto. Ben's ability to transplant samba tunes into deeply soulful, often funky settings was simply stunning. Gorgeous string arrangements swaddle many of the tunes, but it’s Ben’s characteristic acoustic-guitar riffs and Mocoto's jacked-up grooves that make the record tick. Ben never had the greatest set of pipes, but few musicians have turned an imperfect voice into such a valuable asset, reinforcing the rhythmic agility of his songs with pin-point phrasing, surprising intervallic leaps, and a plaintive kind of moan. I was asked to write some liner notes for the reissue, but I ended up passing on the offer, partly because information about Ben’s career and development is practically non-existent in the States, aside from thumbnail bios that only offer the slightest insight. It’s astonishing, really, that Ben—one of the most successful, deep, and influential musicians to emerge from Brazil in the last four decades—hasn't been the subject of more substantial analysis. Hell, a bunch of his classics from the late 60s and early 70s remain unavailable. I sure hope that if Dusty Groove continues its reissue program, more albums by Jorge Ben will see the light of day.
