kh1958

I saw her with Mike Stern at the 55 Bar a month or so ago and was very impressed. Mr. Stern is playing very well these days, and the two of them together are electrifying.

The only thing that could improve this great record would be one less track--the jarring Hoe-Down.

If you think the majority is the best judge, why are you on a jazz board? But... ←

It's not bias to point out what is obvious to anyone who uses both a PC and a Mac (Mac is better).

He's right about Otis Taylor, if you haven't heard him.

Is your real name Marlowe?

Dannie Richmond's Horo LP--side 2--the Mingus Changes group (David Friesen on bass), plus a Brazilian guitarist and percussionist on a very inspired sidelong jam--I Told You So.

The Time Bennie Green has Sonny Clark on piano, by the way, and three of six tracks are Clark compositions.

Budd Johnson is on (and solos on) Out of the Cool, a great Gil Evans record.

The second side of this one is the one I like--Eleanor Rigby (I am taken aback by how good this sounds), and the Turning Point.

I have an LP bootleg, haven't heard any CD bootleg--The impulse release is way better than the LP set--it's actually better than a number of the concerts in the European tour box set.

This is a great 2 disc set in fine sound, for all of $15. What took you so long, Ravi Coltrane?

Actually, I think that's 15,000 three minute songs, so that unless one only listens to pre-LP era performances, your jazz ipod will hold less songs. I take great pleasure in going through my CDs and selecting the songs I like best for my itunes library/ipod. Since I only have 5 gbs left, I'm not going to be able to do this much longer, unless they put out a bigger ipod or I start removing songs. From my point of view, when I'm traveling or driving, the more music I have on the ipod makes for a better experience. I have huge selections of Ellington, Mingus, and Charlie Parker, among others. Do I want to stop adding Ellington for example? I think not. Plus, for variety, I have alot of blues, music from Latin countries, Africa, a little rock. The more music the better.

That's really disappointing. What I need is a more than 60 GB ipod, not an ipod that shows video.

Mercedes Sosa sings a great duet with Milton Nascimento on his record, Sentinela, performing a song by Cuban composer Sylvio Rodriguez. I have another outstanding CD, an import from Argentina, that is a live concert with Mercedes Sosa and Milton Nascimento. This concert is a thrilling recording.

Dave Brubeck recorded Bravo Brubeck and Buried Treasures in Mexico City, I believe in 1967. Did Monk play at the same concerts?

I actually just got this one and have only listened to the first side--which has four tunes, and I really liked two of the four songs, El Chico and Marcheta--very percussive, mostly featuring Gabor Szabo on guitar. The other two songs are Broadway show tunes--I especially couldn't bear "People." So based on only hitting on half of side one, I would say $26 is a bit steep, though I still need to listen to side 2. (I paid $15 for an impulse original). kh1958, How is this album? My local record store has a 180gm reissue lp, but it's friggin' $26! Worth it? ←

Andrew "Voice" Odom with Earl Hooker--Further on Down the Road (Bluesway) Chico Hamilton--El Chico (impulse)

Of course I trust Billie Holiday. If you ever come across this album, get it. I still know several people that did it, and can't believe they never heard of this album 'til I told 'em 'bout it... ... It'll be totally worthwile, trust me . ←

I haven't heard that one but it sure sounds good.

It's another Joel Dorn label. http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=101 Jim, is this another Dorn enterprise? Or is there another label just reissuing Label M? ←

What was the last Masters of Jazz issue? The last I've found is Dexter Gordon/Wardell Gray MJCD 176. So far I've only found 13 of their CDs. I have a long way to go.

Trapped in a very deep groove?
