pm on Night Train to Nashville - Music City Rhythm & Blues (2 cds on Lost Highway) $5

Portrait of Shorty-Shorty Rogers arrived yesterday. Nice!

Yes. Maybe a few too many notes, but he's a player for sure.

quite a show. Chestnut with John Lee on bass and Tootie Heath on drums and a young guitarist who was quite good. I had a nice chat with Lee before the set and he asked me to keep in touch so I will.

??????

I paid $27 per tik so $54 total and would prefer to sell as a pair. Show is sold out. Reply and then PM me

look for something via paypal tomorrow

Thanks. I hope to see him in the DC area soon.

Whenever Jimmy Heath and McCoy Tyner can afford a big band, there's a groove. Arturo O'Farrell Afro-Cuban BB is also wonderful.

I saw that as well and was trying to work it out but BC a lot closer for moi

I've got tiks for the Gillespie all stars with Cyrus Chestnut on 6/4 and may try to make the Heath Brothers show on the 10th-both at Bohemian Caverns.

First Light on its way! My wife loves this album.

The more I read this thread, the more I think Cowell is an excellent candidate for a Mosaic release. Opinions?

just saw this via Jazz Wax (a blog I've been enjoying a lot lately). Anyone have this yet?

Voyage is at the top of my Getz list-his sound is warm and relaxed, reflective of this happy period in his life.

how's the SQ overall?

I've thought the sound on the Collectables Atlantic stuff has seemed pretty good overall. Collectables came a long way from their early needle-drop beginnings, though they will never be an audiophile label. Of course, with the warehouse fire, there won't be audiophile vintage Atlantic stuff anyways. I didn't think much of Collectables mastering on the Heath Brother's twofer (with SC of course).

Everything ok here but haven't played all discs yet

pm on Shirley Horn and Gerald Wilson

Her's to Life-Shirley Horn is JM at his best, IMO.

whoa! That was a good deal!

Thanks for the 'heads-up'! My order's in. mine as well

the majority of the population 12 and over now has a Facebook account

pm on Papa John DeFrancesco

I really enjoyed his autobiography and recommend it to any jazz lover. One thing about JH, wherever he is in his composition, there is always melody. A good thing, IMO.
