I see what you mean. Here is the auction of the Mingus Candid Mosaic which ended this evening where the winning bid was submitted four seconds before the end of the auction! http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=300413662341

I'm getting ready to offer my Mosaics. I see what is available now, and there are very few that are not Buy It Now, and there is very little bidding. Should I expect not much interest in Mosaics? http://music.shop.eb...14&_sop=1&_sc=1 Do you think that I should go the Best Offer route?

Welcome back Alan!

Joe, I remember well my fortieth birthday because no one razzed me about it. I was expecting black balloons and insulting birthday cards, and it didn't happen! What a bummer! So here's what I remember from a card I gave my nephew a few years back: You're 40! You're terrific! You're the greatest! (open the card) You're history!

Happy Birthday Niko!

Happy Birthday 2010 Joe! Today I'll put on Groovadelphia in your honor.

I have a couple of thoughts. The first is that there doesn't seem to be a jazz scene in New York like there used to be. I could be wrong about that, but I remember reading, I think in Art Pepper's autobiography, that in the late 50s in all of America there were only 400 jazz musicians good enough to record, and they all knew each other. I get the impression that that is not true today. My second thought is that if someone comes along who is popular, the music won't be called "jazz" by the public. This was proved to me ten years ago when the neo-swing bands were briefly fashionable. Their cd's were found in the rock section rather than the jazz section of record stores.

I notice that that auction is out of Baltimore, and ends at six o'clock on a Sunday morning. What's up with that?

So to sum up, I purchased five packs total, at $2.25 each (incl. shipping), for a total of $11.25. I received five different issues - 2 Ellery Queens and 3 Alfred Hitchcocks. Here is what I received (with the number of copies): Ellery Queen Jan 07 (3) Feb 07 (2) Alfred Hitchcock Mar 07 (5) Apr 07 (2) May 07 (3) Weizie, did you receive any issues other than these five? If so, maybe we can work a trade!

Three on two Kamchatka! Sorry I can't help, BM. Back in the day, a typical date for me was going to someone's house to play Risk. All the wives would do what their husbands told them to do, and my date would attack me! As I recall, the winner was usually the guy who had poor dice rolls and spent the entire evening watching everybody else having fun playing the game. Eventually everyone would kill off everyone else, and the poor guy who did nothing all night inherited the world.

The two packs that I received last week which were identical had the 3 dupes you mentioned. My second order (two packs) arrived today, and I received nothing I didn't get last week. The first pack had Jan 07 EQ and March and May 07 AH. The second pack had Feb 07 EQ and also had the same March and May 07 AH. This week I have read the March 07 AH, and I found very little in the way of mystery. I think that that is no longer the case. AH now advertises that each issue has one of each type of mystery.

He's amazing, isn't he? Just curious: what's the DVD - is it the one with Mike Marshall? Yes, it came with the New Words Novas Palavras cd.

Clave, I have a DVD of Hamilton de Holanda, and he's amazing! The great ones make it look easy.

I've just heard a new album that I can recommend called A New Promise by guitarist Sheryl Bailey. Bailey is from Pittsburgh, and that's where this was recorded in concert. The album is her backed by the Three Rivers Jazz Orchestra. It is a tribute to Emily Remler, and includes three Remler songs. Her tone reminds me of later Jim Hall. I've never heard of her before, but this is her sixth cd. She is a professor at Berklee and the author of two instruction books. I found it at lala here: http://www.lala.com/...y/A_New_Promise

I see tonight that this is now up at lala. I'm enjoying it now. http://www.lala.com/#album/360569445318162558/Stan_Getz_%26_Kenny_Barron/People_Time_-_The_Complete_Recordings

Thanks for posting this, Durium. I know very little about the subject, but I vote for Moacir Santos. I have his last album, called Choros & Allegros, and I'll plan to play it today.
