GRAPE ice cream.

Ah, sorry, I missed that "Prestige" part ...

Well, I went overboard on the Borders buy three get one free deal (you know they apply to DVDs, too, right?): Thelonious Monk, American Composer Celebrating Bird, The Triumph of Charlie Parker Art Farmer Live at the Smithsonian Benny Carter, Live at the Smithsonian Can't vouch for any of them yet, but I'm optimistic!

I don't see why the Re-emergence date wouldn't be in the box-OJC has put it out, why would they not put it in the box set? I think this is going to be issued tunes only, and the LPs Jim lists.

Well, I got a nice check on a VO gig, so with my mortgage covered, I decided it was time to blow it on the Borders buy three get one free salse: Monk in Paris (with the DVD bonus, I knew I had a Monk in Paris disc already, but it turned out to be the previous day's concert, so Conrad Herwig, Another Kind of Blue (live concert of the tunes on Kind of Blue, arranged for a latin jazz band featuring Paquito D'Rivera and Brian Lynch; on Half Note) Horace Silver, Rockin with Rachmaninoff Ron Blake, Les We Forget (finally get to hear Ron's CD after meeting him at the Clearwater Jazz Fest-what a nice guy ....) Now, I originally had 8 CDs in my hands, but I ultimately decided that these weren't CDs I really HAD to have, I was just trying to get two CDs free. So I was really proud of myself when I put the other four back ... then I made the mistake of wandering by the Jazz DVD section. Benny Carter, Live at the Smithsonian. There's a 2003 copyright on it, but Benny is described as being 74 years old, so this was quite a few years ago, actually. Art Farmer, Live at the Smithsonian Thelonious Monk, American Composer Celebrating Bird, The Triumph of Charlie Parker Hope I did good on the last two documentaries. Oh, and I traded in some discs for a Pete and Conte Candoli disc from the '90s, on Hindsight, the Benny Carter Capital reissue, the Buddy and Sweets Verve, and Jimmy Witherspoon Sings the Blues Sessions, all of the Crown recording dates that went on two different LPs, plus a bunch of unissued tunes.

Yes, congratulations to all, but will not-so-young Master Sangrey actually see this message? Has he been lurking over Dad's shoulder?

Are you aware that the move to the Jazz & Vinyl Annex has meant that all of their jazz vinyl is now available to browse? Might be a reason to go back ... I remember the days at the main BLUE NOTE store, when Mosaic sets would be priced without premiums. Good for you, I'm not looking for jazz LPs any more. . There used to be another used record store near BLUE NOTE, I think it was called Record Liquidators? So the trip to BLUE NOTE was worth the trip. Yeah, just south and east, still opposite that mall-their prices were awful though-but I did luck out when I happened into there on there going out of business blow-out sale. Marty, Tjazz, reading this thread gave me the odd thought that the next time I'm standing in any of these stores, on the rare occasion there's someone else in the jazz section, it just might be someone from the board! Maybe we ought to have a password of some sort ... "Hey, buddy, ever hear of the best unknown organ trio, Organissimo?"

Who are you and how do you know about CD Collector? You better stay away from there if you know what's good for you!!!

Please remember that this album was recorded more than 40 years ago and was only one of many that I produced at that time. As best as I can recall, and not having seen or heard the album in at least 30 years, I don't believe I edited out any organ solos when we made the master tape. If any of the solos were cut, I am assuming it was done when the tapes were being prepared for CD release or for reissue. To those of you who ask, let me ask you: Are there any obvious splices or places where an organ solo was omitted or shortened? Jack Tracy Well Jack, that only proves that you handled the splicing better than Dick Bock!! Just kidding. I have a burn from the original LP at home, I'd have to give a listen to see how much solo time the organist got.

Isn't this the first lesson in Marketing Crack 101? They know how to get you hooked!

They're like big airy bags of sugar and grease. Actually, I do prefer Dunkin' but don't you guys know how huge Krispy Kreme is? The growth of that company and the profit margins of franchisors is astounding.

And nothing on Jazztimes.com either. I think we've been taken in ... and they should string up whoever started this story.

PM sent, Evan.

I was looking for an NYT obit but I figured they were behind the times, as it were. But coming from Randy's dad, I assumed this was not as likely to be an internet rumor. Either way, when I get home I'm listening to my recently received 70th birthday party Jazz Machine gig at the Blue Note. I want to celebrate Elvin, whether he's with us or not.

Damn, damn, damn ...

Very cool, Mule.

Not bad, Jeff! (Though I don't know if someone in the center of the target might look so darn happy. I think he might look more like this guy:

My last radio boss always preached that there are two things listeners hate: Talking over records Not announcing what songs were played. So, we had to wait for the very last note to ring out, or the song to completely fade away, before the announcers were allowed to speak. And on top of that, he actually *scripted* the form that our back-announcements took. I remember getting yelled at because I improvised "and ahead of that, we heard ..."

Too weird ... I also have "Go" in a black metal frame in my listening area ... Yeah, but does your listening room have a Lazy-Ass leather recliner??

Try control alt delete and see if there's a program running to highlight and click "end task" But I got the same thing going on mine, so I wonder if there's something at organissimo that is infecting users? Actually, the thing that popped for me had a blue screen and a box in the middle. Don't click OK, but click the "x" at the top of the box and it will close.

I agree that its ridiculous, but the worst part of the commercialization of the league is that green screen behind the plate, that forces you to look at a gigantic ad, or Fox or ESPN promo, everytime they use the centerfield camera. I F-ing hate it!!!

Well, that's the end of that string! The only way it could have continued would be if Brew Moore made an LP, like, maybe, Brew 'N Buck ....

Me and the Blues (Joe Williams)

I just read the Times article myself, and came this close to posting it, but had a vague recollection that it had come up before. So thanks, Brownie for making the faux pax for me!

I think Pedro is too expensive and too fragile to resign, but the likelihood that George will open up the checkbook for him ... And now I'm learning that the Sox have found out that Pedro is not insurable. So you can't get any protection against a breakdown, and the guy wants 3 or 4 years at 15 mil+, and the Sox don't want to go over 2 years (naturally). I don't think the signs are good. At least with his build and shoulder, there's no way he'll torture us for ten years like Clemens did. But seriously, saving the money on Pedro and resigning Varitek, Nomar and Lowe makes more sense to me. Why spend the most on the most fragile of the bunch, spread out the money and get more players. OH, and thank you, Dan Duquette, so very much, for setting up four key players to have their contracts expire simultaneously. What an asshole.
