What a way to go. RIP

Anyone purchased any of these? The Almeida recording is a favorite so on the radar. 96 or 192?

$18.83 shipped on ebay

I've been on the fence about that set-might have to pull the trigger.

This is a sad situation. A truly gifted artist continues to have a monkey on his back. I truly hope those around him can get help him achieve sobriety.

what exact Fall 79 show are you referring to ?

Gary was in terrific form playing an interesting set-far from just "greatest hits". Highly recommend seeing him. I had a chance to chat briefly with him after the show. He was extremely nice and down to earth. I even got a pik with him.

I was. He was led to the stage and at times didn't seem to know where he was. He plays only chords no single notes. I saw him so any times in the 80s when he was magnificent, this performance hurt. YMMV. We decided to go!

Every GB performance I've seen (two with Pat Metheny in clubs) has been wonderful. We spent a small fortune on our remodeling project so concerts are off the table now but seeing him again at Blues Alley would be a fitting goodbye. He's doing the right thing going out with all faculties intact. Seeing a recent show by McCoy Tyner was just the opposite and very sad.

We listened to the cd last night. Honestly, this has been done by various artists before so I wasn't sure what to expect....no worries, Jim and crew give the listener a fresh take on classic Beatles. A very enjoyable cd and I like the cover!

Major loss for me. One of my favorite artists in any genre but glad I saw him in a variety of settings.

Woody on its way along with the Art Farmer disc which Scott was kind enough to discount so put me at the free shipping mark!

Thanks all. Might have to grab this one.

Any comments on the Woody Herman select?

In. Good luck!

Yes, get the Vegas and NY sets in that order before this but I like it.

Best sounding version?

I see the 2016 fundraising goal has been met and congrats on that. I'm glad folks here put their money where their mouth is! Me included.

A recent concert with his big band revealed an artist still full of life and a master composer. I got him to sign his autobiography and pose for a pic afterwards. Happy birthday!

He was a local so I was able to see him a couple of times and enjoyed the shows. His brother and accompanist Joe was an underrated player, IMO. The Bossa Nova Years was a later release (1991) that I enjoy. If you have surround sound capability the DSD multi channel issue is well worth seeking out.

I bought the HR download and will listen when my spouse is out Thursday.

anyone get the HR download?

Beautiful music would be my comment. Congrats to board member David Weiss and the group for another fine recording. I'm listening to the HR download which is quite nice. Bravo!
