Possible, but my understanding is that companies that get bought out by private equity firms tend to outperform those that don't. Guy Only for the money guys. Only when the economy is rising. When the economy starts to go into a downward cycle, private equity leveraged buyout target companies often head for bankruptcy court.

I hate that baggy pants look. The worst fashion trend ever.

You are insane! P.S. I have 34 of the 45 recordings you list.

The Brady-Bundchen Bunch?

I'm guessing you didn't enjoy the flaming Russian penis thread either. I was just in a bad mood and got pissed that our society's cult of pseudo-celebrities infested this world. I see enough of it in other places. I understand completely: "Photogenic Airheads Obstruct View of Sonically Perfect Club where the Coltrane and Mingus and Miles and Other Greats Played."

I smell lawsuit!! In order to defend myself, I'm going to have to depose all the Victoria's Secret models.

Yes, two clueless celebrities are pictured in a vapid gossip story, standing in front of the hallowed ground of the Village Vanguard, no doubt oblivious to the Village Vanguard's existence. It seemed amusing to me (but then I'm easily amused).

Most likely, in a couple of years, they will be in bankruptcy court.

Red Garland at the Prelude (Prestige mono)--This sure has beautiful sound.

What's the music like? NP: Willow Weep for Me - Wes Montgomery - Verve stereo You get a picture of Elizabeth Taylor dressed as Cleopatra, on the cover. The full group is Paul Horn (flute and bass flute), Emil Richards (vibes), Victor Feldman (piano), Chuck Israels (bass), Colin Bailey (drums), and Larry Bunker (percussion). All of the music is composed by Alex North for the film Cleopatra, and the themse are quite beautiful. The music is very moody and atmospheric, for the most part, but there are also uptempo/swinging cuts and interludes (Victor Feldman is smoking on his solos). One of the better jazz groups plays movie themes recordings I've heard. I really enjoyed it. There are no notes; it does say copyright 1963.

Paul Horn--Impressions of Cleopatra (Columbia 2 eye)--A $4 purchase turned out to be an unexpectedly nice recording--with Victor Feldman on piano, Emil Richards on vibes, and Chuck Israels on bass.

Okay, I ordered the Louis box set from an amazon seller for only $30. There are some evil influences around here.

Herbie Mann Live at Newport Hank Crawford From the Heart (blue and green label Atlantics)

It sounds like I need that Louis in Scandinavia box set!

Your review of the new Monterey release was quite helpful (I decided to skip it, at least until I come across an inexpensive used copy). Thanks.

Last four: Red Garland--Red Alone Jaki Byard--Out Front James Moody--Hi Fi Party Walt Dickerson--Relativity

You saw that too? I about had a conniption when I saw that! My first thought was to go back and ask if they keep a record of who sells what. Let's go find they culprit!!! Yes, I was the guy holding the LPs and weeping, while thinking of sweet revenge.

I haven't heard that much Jim Pepper, but the recently released Afro-Indian Blues, a collaboration with Amina Claudine Myers, is a dynamite live recording from the early 1990s.

No longer listed on the Concord website. amazon.com shows used copies from $ 18.00 upwards, amazon.de has them for € 8.00 upwards, but I doubt these sellers acutally have it in stock. I bought the Al Sears in the Concord Blowout sale.

I've never heard of any such repair method. I'm afraid that scratched vinyl cannot be repaired. Right now at my local Half Price Books there are three original Hampton Hawes Contemporary LPs that look like someone repeatedly raked a needle over the surface. That person should suffer greatly for that grievous sin. I wish there were a way to repair such transgressions.

Thanks very much! It's been a Mosaic birthday for me (Chu Berry and Dizzy Gillespie).

I've never heard of him, but he does seem to have a myspace page. It appears he lives in Spain. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...endid=157697670
