  1. video pulled
  2. Good for a fan but not a huge fan of Mingus?
  3. I use Harmony universal remotes. Pretty easy to set up and will generally be all you need once you configure the tv. Check the AV forums and look for your model for lots of tips for setting the picture but allow a couple hundred hours of play before finalizing settings.
  4. first single gets a C with this grader. A Rolie composition that he's released previously, the groove is there but the lyrics are really trite.
  5. Great idea. I never liked Ligterwood's vocals very much and when I saw them side by side at an 80's Santana show, Walker blew him off the stage.
  6. These new releases will be available as HR downloads as well. I may go that way.
  7. The Getz releases look good as well!
  8. snowing hard in the Washington DC area but so far no power loss but it ain't over until it's over!
  9. I like Fatha's Day-an Earl Hines songbook. I had him sign it for me when I saw him in 2004. He was very nice person. RIP
  10. For NYE, we are planning to go see a local favorite Joe Maher with B3 legend Bill Heid (though I think he will be playing piano only) and Steve Novosel on bass at the Chart House in Alexandria VA. No cover!
  11. bought a nused br copy-looking forward to seeing this.
  12. There's great music here but the packaging was terrible, IMO. Book fell apart and I put all the discs in jewel cases to keep them from getting scratched.
  13. Last night was Chucho Valdez and his tribute to Irakere. Words fail me. A brilliant performance and I don't use that word very often. If you get a chance to see this gig, don't miss it.
  14. I think he does a fine job with the Cookers and I like his work on the Dexter mosaic set even if his solos are a bit too long. A very nice gentleman as well. I hope his health is ok.
  15. RIP to a great artist. I treasure the performances I saw.
  16. Love the Quincy set. On the fence about the Ellington box. I have so much of his music already!

    Tootie

    Sorry to read this. I spoke with him briefly at a gig in DC a few years ago. He was extremely pleasant and very down to earth. And his percussion work!!
  18. Yep, great transaction!!
  19. pm on Larry Young - Mothership (BMG bar code) - $9 , V.S.O.P. - The Quintet - $3
  20. Good read. I hope he does some DC dates http://jazztimes.com/articles/168782-stanley-cowell-never-too-late
  21. He must have looked at the 30 Trips pricing.
  22. Listened to the first two discs. His piano is clearer here. The Telarc twofers from his 60s and early 70s releases are all worth picking up as well.
  23. The surround mix of New Favorite is a favorite.
  24. Here's my wrap up review with details: http://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/arts/mark-stryker/2015/09/07/detroit-jazz-fest-wrap-carter-metheny-and-more-highlights/71842750/ thanks!
  25. short but thoughtful interview-thanks! How were his performances?
