Uncle Skid

Happy Birthday, Ray!

no problem, trane_fanatic. It seems like there's been a lot of activity on the board lately -- and that one just recently fell off page one. btw, welcome to the board!

When Snoop's done playing Sam Rivers, maybe he'll do Hank Crawford next?

Fo shizzle: Snoop Dogg as Miles

Thanks, Sundog. It's kind of funny - I had just put down the guitar after working on Galbraith's arrangement of "Darn that Dream" when I first saw this thread. The site says that "these arrangements have been unavailable at any price", but this book has many of the same solos. I took a quick look at "Darn that Dream", and it looks very similar to the one in the book. But, there are a whole bunch of other songs on that site that aren't in the book. Thanks! I love Galbraith's books -- Volumes 1 and 2 of this series has helped me tremendously.

Has anyone tried this type of CD Sleeve? Not a 3-ring binder deal, and the inserts and tray cards remain with the discs. Looks like a good way to save some space, but it seems like it might make things harder to find.

I have just one question for you -- What jazz CDs did you get at Best Buy???

Uhhh... the J.J. Johnson box? Maybe? Man, I sure hope not!! Maybe the Mobley set is next?

MD202 #1891 just arrived. "A strange mixture of happiness, pride and guilt" describes it perfectly. On second thought, my strange mixture also includes regret -- I didn't order MD205. Probably not a bad thing, as I was meeting with a HVAC salesman when it arrived. I could buy a whole bunch of Mosaics for the cost of a new furnace and air conditioner.

That's a cool site... It's nice to see (for the first time on some) the covers of OOP Mosiacs. But what's up with the Tina Brooks cover? It looks like he has some sort of devil tail or something!

This is just stupid. As b3-er and others have pointed out before, if you can hear it, it can be copied. Many mp3 players now have line-in jacks that can directly encode any audio signal to MP3. These schemes don't stop the pirates, and it irritates legitimate consumers.

It REALLY sucks. I'm actually pissed off that I bought it! (Feel better?) Yes, because now I know you'll sell it to me, CHEAP!!!

If I had to pick only ONE out of print Mosaic that I wish I could get easily, that one would be it. Now listening to Blue Mitchell, Disc 3.

Dang it, guys, cut it out!!! It's OK to keep singing the praises of the Morgan/Shorter, but I'd really like to hear how AWFUL the Kelly/Chambers set is, and how disappointed you were with that set! (guess which one I DIDN'T order!)

Mine has its origins in a tale of two brothers-in-law. A few years ago, one of them discovered Photoshop, and all the wonderful things that you can do with that software. Well, this was one of his first efforts: Needless to say, I have been “Skid Mark” ever since. I guess that's better than being Vanilla Ice or something like that? (maybe not!!) Another brother-in-law (who also now has a new “rapper” identity, and his face immortalized on a slightly modified cover of Vibe magazine) rechristened me “Uncle Skid” when his twin daughters were born two years ago. Yes, Virginia, there is a real Uncle Skid. "Ya better check yourself, 'cause Skid Mark's in da house!" -- Mark

31. If I don't order soon, Soulstation1 might have to go all Lee Morgan on my ass:

I caved yesterday -- ordered the Morgan/Shorter on the internet. Got a confirmation email just a few minutes ago. Had to pass on the Kelly/Chambers; I really want the new Tal Farlow when it comes out. Oh yeah, I also want that JJ Johnson set. This time, I think I'll go with REASON #28: That darn Mosaic order button is so easy to press. (thanks, LAL!)

9. Some people buy Corvettes, some people buy expensive boats -- as for me, I spend my money on black cardboard boxes (preferably without hinges) and shiny plastic discs.

I always thought that Blind Cheetah was a *much* better group. They KICKED ASS!

As if she would believe that one -- you and I both know where that $100 went!!

1. IT'S GOING OUT OF PRINT!!!! LAST CHANCE! (and if I wait, it will just cost more on EBay later). 2. There are many hard to find and/or OOP sessions included -- if I didn't buy the Mosiac, I would end up spending much more to get each session on expensive imports.

Kingdom Come*: the homeless man's Led Zeppelin. *or Whitesnake, Great White, White Lion, Billy Squier, ..... ( Great White Lion Snake?? )

Is Queensrÿche the poor man's King's X? My first exposure to Rush was 2112. I still like that CD, excess and self-importance not withstanding. The definition of CLASSIC ROCK, imho. Moving Pictures still sounds good today, in limited doses. I heard a rumor that Joe, Jim and Randy are planning some Loverboy covers. Can't wait for that!! All this talk of E.L.P. and Yes, and nobody's mentioned ASIA?? THOSE GUYS ROCKED!!!

Right , so she can order the next set for you You *have* to talk to her at least once a day so you can carefully plan for the arrival of your next Mosaic shipment....
