So you haven't outgrown it or anything, Dan? Nope, not yet ... and I have hope for new stuff someday. I got in touch with Gene's widow and she told me she has many sound board recordings of the quartet and that while Concord has passed on them, she is definitely considering putting them out herself. I turned her on to CD Baby and she agreed its a good way to go.

You're just noticing this now?

Pasta (we've come to like the Barilla brand stuffed shells, particularly the spinach and ricotta), salad and bread.

I just stumbled across this website, maybe its well known, but gobs and gobs of jazz vinyl, new and/or sealed reissues, and very reasonable prices. Here's the link to the jazz listing: http://www.vinyl.com/catalog/index.php?category_id=7 Edit: I now see that there's more jazz listed in the All-Artists section than what's categorized as jazz: http://www.vinyl.com/catalog/list_artists.php

Very interesting ... thanks for finding and posting that. I think there's a young man in Seattle who's gonna sh*t the proverbial brick when he sees this thread.

And thanks for the link. Contrary to what the guy says, I had no trouble downloading the tunes and saving them. Unfortunately real audio won't burn into CD format and sound right, but now I can hear the music without depending on the connection and the buffering.

Thanks for the clarification. Obviously he's talking about his career from the 70s on, when organs didn't have their appeal that they did in the 60s heyday, so its unfortunate, but surely he did record a lot before then.

Congratulations. It's a fact though that when you get older, your hearing will diminish, however slowly; it's part of the aging process. A really disturbing fact, because I lost hearing as a child, supposedly due to a childhood illness, and my time on the radio with headphones on didn't exactly help. So I'm not even 40 and sometimes wonder if I need to think about a hearing aid (or at least that I'll need one sooner rather than later). At least on the positive side, my hearing isn't acute enough to notice or care about all these supposedly inferior remasterings. It all sounds good to me, I just hope I can still hear it in 20 years!

Yes thought so. Heard in the Waiting Game liner notes that the reason they didn't release any others is because album sales were so low. That's largely true, but the fact is that Back to the Tracks was sequenced and mastered and pictured on the backs of other BN releases, but somehow slipped through and was never actually released at the time.

According to AMG, he recorded 19 times in the 1960s, including seven times before Misty got him some attention, so I really don't see how his opportunities were so limited. When was this boot made? Was it before Misty jump-started his career? It seems an odd thing for Holmes to be saying, unless he is referring simply to some specific clubs where he was blackballed or burned his bridges. But I would think that post-Misty, he had plenty of work, and he recorded pretty regularly for Pacific Jazz before Misty was his first Prestige recording. I'd be really curious to know when this recording was made.

Which is why I don't think, as the thread asks, "any generalizations can be said". Welcome to the board, Stew.

Jazzmatazz says Aug. 1. Hopefully Jim Gallert can keep us updated on this thread. Unfortunately, that's plenty of time for it to be pushed back and pushed back like the Bird release. But here's hoping it won't be!

Is there an expected release date?

I'm a voice talent when I get the call and in audio production otherwise.

This reminds me of the time when I was an undergrad at Florida State, watching SNL, and coming out of the first commercial break, the local NBC affiliate started broadcasting porn! At first I figured it was one of those short films, but then all of a sudden the girl was topless and fondling the guy through his jeans. And all of a sudden it was gone and the regular broadcast was back. I always figured that the engineer was watching a dirty movie and hit the wrong knob or something. Now, if I understand this story correctly, Ms. Day doesn't actually appear in the Italian porn film, right?

Argo. Go figure that one out. East coast boy likes Chicago label.

Didn't Ghost help bring Jim Gallert here to join the party? He'd be the one to share some details, I'd think. Definitely one I'll be all over. Where did you find the listing, Stefan? Is it on Alan's site?

They are people who have been banned, I believe. If you find GregM's posts, or Musicboy, you'll find their posts but they aren't registered users, I don't think.

I'd say they're going to make it, considering that almost $200,000 was raised in three days, and there are three more days to raise another $50,000.

I hadn't heard him before I saw him with Houston Person two weeks ago, but Bobby Devos is a solid, Grant-inspired player. Picked up this one at the gig: Nice, and Billy James and Gene Ludwig back him up.

How many comments do you have relative to discs sent out? It seems a bit early for answers ...

I'm picking the Pats and rooting for them, but I do think this has the potential to be a decent game, with or without T.O. The one problem I see is that the Eagles aren't great with run defense and if running sets up Brady's pinpoint, no mistakes passing, it could be a long night for Philly, regardless of what McNabb may do.
