At McFarlin Auditorium: *MONTEREY JAZZ FESTIVAL 50th ANNIVERSARY TOUR Fri., February 1, 2008 at 8:00 PM The longest continually-running jazz festival in the world, the Monterey Jazz Festival celebrates its 50th anniversary with a national tour. Maintaining Monterey's tradition of bringing together veteran and younger artists, the show stars Terence Blanchard (trumpet), James Moody (saxophone), Benny Green (piano), Nnenna Freelon (special guest vocalist), Derrick Hodge (bass) and Kendrick Scott (drums).

King Curtis a New York sax blaster? I thought he was from Fort Worth.

Me, too. Are these two the first time released? I just saw a used LP for sale of the Peterson/Stitt/Eldridge.

On LP: Eddie Condon All Stars (with Rex Stewart and Bud Freeman)--Tiger Rag--World Pacific (1960) Earl Hines/Cozy Cole--Earl's Backroom and Cozy's Caravan--Felsted (1958). On CD: Coleman Hawkins in the '50s--Body and Soul Revisited Atlas Blues Explosion

I had the opportunity to see him at the Village Vanguard once. McCoy Tyner was playing just down the street at Sweet Basil. It was hard to pass by McCoy, but I had seen him a number of times recently, so I thought I'll give Michel Pettruciani a try, plus it's the VV. I was out of there after one set, heading down to Sweet Basil where McCoy played a thrilling second set, lamenting that I had missed the first one.

No kidding, especially if the sound were magically better! I found the Birdland CDRs to be mostly of such poor sound quality that I had trouble listening to them. It seems puzzling that Charlie Parker broadcasts from the late 1940s have better sound. Perhaps these were several generations of copies from the source material?

It is worth buying, in my opinion, particularly for the live tracks.

I ordered it, the set looks good to me.

Lovie Austin 1924-26 (Classics) Stan Getz and Lionel Hampton--Hamp and Getz.

31 sets (plus 2 in the mail) 8 selects (plus 1 in the mail)

There aren't very many recordings of Monk with a larger group, so the West Coast guys could make for an interesting concert. But I have never heard of Rouse on alto with Monk. The same musicians also augmented the Mingus group on Mingus at Monterey (also from 1964).

The one time I had a similar issue I filed a fraud complaint with ebay, and the item miraculously arrived quite promptly.

Both lots sold to the same bidder, with zero feedback. There was only one bidder.

Of course, if the government lets XM and Sirius merge, there's only going to be one such job, not two.

I checked in my Prestige discography, and he had five sessions as a leader--South Side Soul (Aug. 30, 1960); Nice N Tasty (Nov. 8, 1960); Makin' Out (June 23, 1961); Mr. Soul (April 10, 1962); The Last Amen (Dec. 19, 1961).

I only have Mr. Soul, but I do like it. The two OJCs are only available at present from a few amazon.com sellers. So you had better not procrasinate much longer.

A mouse with two clickers instead of one is the perfect example of Microsoft's ability to make the simple pointlessly complicated. Annoyingly, when you are left-handed like myself, at some point you have to figure out how to invert the clickers. My Mac seems to always work just fine with a single click mouse--it's an ambidextrous mouse.

I noticed that the Jazz Record Center is selling complete sets of the rainbow series (39 LPs, starting bid $825) and those brown twofers (16 sets, starting bid $300)--No takers yet: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...p;rd=1&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...p;rd=1&rd=1

Mesquite????? indeed! If ever Arlington needed more proof that it is a cultural wasteland, there it is. Years ago, I saw Freddie Hubbard and Dizzy Gillespie perform in Mesquite. As for Arlington--a Larry Coryell solo performance at a very small club.

If two pianos together is wrong, then this must be criminal. http://www.amazon.com/Giants-Organ-Togethe...5315837-0791254 (Jimmy McGriff and Groove Holmes, Giants of the Organ Come Together.)
