"But I don't WANNA be a pirate!!"

Sort of on topic, at the end of Woody Herman's Apple Honey (depending on what version you have) the trumpet section plays a quote from Petroushka.

Seems the only way you're going to get any deals at Borders is to get the Rewards card, so unless you plan to boycott them entirely it seems like a necessity, especially since they are one of the few places to carry even a minimal jazz selection. And from time to time there are some pretty good deals. The "invasive" aspect has not been a problem at all for me.

A nice version of Love For Sale was also a product of that session (this was just discussed on another thread). Here's a scan of the cover I found online, although the one I remember was different.

.........and that's some big time wallerin'!

I think part of the reason Borders started that whole rewards program was to monitor coupon use- it (in theory) prevents one from using the coupons over and over (although I've done that a few times w/no hassle). The drag is that you have to join to even use a coupon ONCE now. As I've said before, the only time I buy anything at Borders is when I have a good coupon- otherwise you end up paying FULL RETAIL! I usually can do much better online. I'd rather support a local business, but when there's such a big difference in price it's hard to justify that.

How happy she must be that this is how she will forever be known!

You dig?

Amazing pictures! The clarity and detail is stunning. It does make one a bit woozy. I wonder if anyone ever yaks in their helmet? Do they have a little windshield wiper on the inside?

Mo, I haven't heard that one yet. I have the Miles/Coltrane box, but haven't gotten to that disc yet. Do you like it? Absolutely!! The whole cut, the whole album(BASIC MILES, on vinyl), Trane really shines on Green Dolphin St.; it still blows me away after all these years. This recording is what got me into Trane. The only "reason" for asking was I was wondering if you didn't think Blue Train was particularly outstanding, if you thought Green Dolphin St. was. No biggie, just curiosity. That 5/26/58 session also produced great versions of Stella by Starlight, Fran Dance (2 takes) and Love For Sale. All stone classics! I've often mentioned that one of my favorite moments on record is the second chorus on Stella where Trane takes over and the rhythm section starts walking. Still gives me chills.

You're not alone, felser. I've always liked The Prisoner too, but I can see where it might not be for everyone. I've always liked that little Herbie trifecta that included Speak Like A Child, Prisoner and Fat Albert Rotunda. Different music each, but with a similar concept IMHO.

Joe and Pharoah Sanders play flutes on Alice Coltrane's Ptah the El Doud.

Noj, I was rootin' for your guys to win that one. I heard whistles before the kick so I assume the TO was called in time, but I felt sorry for Janikowski nonetheless. What a MF mindf*ck! Definititely seemed like a home field gift for Shanahan.

Film at eleven........

Nice choice, Al! Haven't listened to it for a while, time to give it a spin again. My favorite tune from this one is Tell Me A Bedtime Story.

I just hate when I get the hiccups.

I had a version of that poster that had the players' names listed, including "Paul Chambers-base".

....or Griff and Jaws perhaps? Max & Clifford Sonny & Elvin Jug & Sonny Cannonball & Nat Miles & Trane Lester & Billie Prez & Lady Day Mingus & Dolphy Ella & Louis

I just checked one source that said Nat was buried in the same cemetery as his brother.

One of my all-time favorite players. One of these days I'm going to go visit his grave site in town here.

Enjoy, and report back on all purchases, please!
