mr jazz

may try again tonight if he is really there.

I just preordered this from Amazon. JH is a great storyteller so I look forward to reading his book.

Joe Crown is quite a player. I saw him at jazzfest last year and he can really tinkle those ivories

I'll take the Woodstock DVD

making donations easier would be a good thing-I know it's not that difficult now

Indeed. way overdue

whole dvd is good- wish the fidelity was better

6 String Santa=Joe Pass. OOP but can be located.

I'd imagine the speakers are, yes, either falling apart, or are loose and need to be tightened. At 17, I'd probably spring for new speakers. check www.crutchfield.com to see what will fit and how hard it will be to install.

agreed-People Time is not one of my favorite Getz/Barron recordings but I haven't listened to it in years.

so did mine-sealed which I expected. Listened to disc 1 last night-my spouse did not like the vocal interlude-it's out there for sure. Great music. I remember seeing the orchestra with Frank Wess in the 80s at Blues Alley in DC.

your ears are unique to you so don't buy any speaker until you have had a chance to listen to it on a flat system (no eq) with several of your favorite cds. If you buy the speakers, try and get at least a 30 day exchange/refund so you can really see if they are for you. Most reputable stores offer this as they want you to be happy (and return to buy more gear). Remember, they're your ears, no one elses!

taped it-will watch this wekend

my copy of Detroit finally appeared and I must say it's delightful. Another winner from maestro Wilson!

highly recommend the GD movie soundtrack. Great sound capturing the band at a career pinnacle. The movie itself is worth owning especially for the bonus disc with some tremendous jams in 5.1 sound-turn up the sub and let Phil shake the house!

the road we take back to our condo from town here in Rehoboth Beach is called State Street so naturally "State Street Suite" comes to mind. Another great Wilson release!

great album but poorly engineered (read the liner notes), IMO.

thanks!

Thanks chewy! I always liked Blue Pacific but it could use the "naked" treatment. There's good music underneath all those drum machines and synths.

what is the title of the Charles Earland?

so it is him playing there. I went there last year on a Tuesday after calling to make sure he was there and he wasn't. I'll have to check this gig out again.

Are these the Wolfgang's Vaults releases? If so, this is a treasure trove.

I have with the Gillespie all star orchestra a couple of years ago....orchestra swung, Roberta didn't. My spouse had the same reaction.

on its way. Any thoughts? For me, always a pleasure to have a new recording by this seemingly ageless (91!) composer/arranger. lala has a cut-Blues on Belle Isle.

Tell me why Roberta Gambrini is so popular? Technically acceptable, but rarely do I hear much emotion-something to grab the listener's attention. While Emergence doesn't have the appeal of Ear Food, it's a solid effort overall.
