Duane, those are terrific prices! But about that Casablanca - What are they doing that they turn a 90-minute movie into 3 DVDs?

Happy 40th Birthday 2017 Cliff!

RIP. I liked him a lot.

Here is a list of links to the news articles about this. http://www.bing.com/news/search?q=Keurig+InBev&qpvt=Keurig+InBev&FORM=EWRE

ECM. I think that it is Newbury's call because they are the vendor to the public.

It appears to me that this wasn't ECM's call. I think it was Newbury's.

My contact has replied to my query. She says that it has something to do with this law regarding the sale of autographed memorabilia: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB1570

I've asked my contact what she thinks about this.

I am enjoying this one. As you say, with Cables and Victor Lewis on the record, how could we not enjoy it?

This is today's ECM press release. I thought it would be best to put it in this forum because of the offer of " free autograph with pre-order purchase." Also note the tour dates. John Abercrombie guitar / Marc Copland piano Drew Gress double-bass / Joey Baron drums Guitarist John Abercrombie – who has recorded as a leader for ECM since 1974 – returns with a second album by his quartet featuring kindred-spirit piano foil Marc Copland, along with longtime rhythm partners Drew Gress and Joey Baron. Extolling 39 Steps, the group’s 2013 album, the Financial Times said: “The emphasis is on subtle intrigue, flowing lyricism and the interplay between the leader’s warm, cleanly articulated guitar and Copland’s piano… with bassist Gress and drummer Baron equally supple and sinewy companions.” The same virtues of lyrical melody and harmonic/rhythmic subtlety are apparent with the new Up and Coming, though with even more emphasis on the enduring values of song. Abercrombie’s liquid phrasing and glowing tone – enabled by the thumb technique he has honed since eschewing a plectrum in recent years – animate his five originals and the pair by Copland, as well as a take on the exotic-sounding Miles Davis classic “Nardis” done in the spirit of Bill Evans. Up and Coming has a twilight atmosphere, with melodic flow the guiding light.

Happy Birthday 2017 to our own ornette!

Just to give you an update, I've been using Vivaldi for the past couple of months, and I like it. I have not had any apparent virus problems.

Gerry Mulligan formed his pianoless quartet because Red Norvo's group didn't use a piano, so the club didn't have it available.

RIP. I think that the lids have been a more valuable contribution to mankind.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Happy Birthday 2016 Jeff!

I watched very few movies this year. By far, the one that stuck with me was Rififi.
