  1. He played well in New Orleans at jazzfest recently. His duet with Anat Cohen on Shreveport Stomp was electrifying.

    Totally forgot about Voyage! That def should have been on my list! Thanks for reminding me Mr. Jazz! Really should be reissued, IMHO. Is there any more material not issued the first time around? Voyage HAS been reissued on cd, this year. thanks for the update. any extra tracks?

  4. I'm seeing them in a small club in Annapolis MD next month. I'll have to pick up the new cd, Reunion sounded pretty darn good the other night.
  5. I saw TB close Friday jazz fest in New Orleans a few weeks ago. He was in wonderful form and looked fabulous with his yellow blazer. I got rhythm and in a mellotone were a wonderful twosome. I never saw Sinatra but dare I say I've seen his equal? As far as his work with Bill Evans, I have both of the older releases and enjoy them. Was this new twofer remastered?

    Voyage remains one of my favorites. Apparently, such a good time in SG's life. His playing reflects it. Yes, Anniversary and Serenity will always be in the player as well. Such brilliance!
  7. Is it me or is Stewart's voice really shot? He sounded rather weak to my ears. Stewart really butchered some classic songs on those god awful standards releases. Of course, they sold millions of copies.
  8. Whoa, that's taking one for the team. I agree that he doesn't get the respect he desrves-he can flat out play. I thoroughly enjoy "Teranga" every time it's in the player.
  9. dates are on Gary Burton's website. I just ordered tiks for the June 23rd early show in Annapolis. We saw their tour in 1990 and it was a great performance.
  10. No, but it's not hard to find high quality soundboards if you look in the right places. I prefer the Buffalo show overall from the next night
  11. It turned out to be 6 players and not an orchestra and it wasn't solely Kind of Blue either but a kind of best of 1959 tunes which was pleasant. Tom Williams on trumpet was his usual excellent self but seemed to be having issues with his trumpet. Can't remember all the players-Peter King on bass, someone named Guitterez on tenor, a prof from Howard on alto and a good piano player and drummer. Best tune for me was Mingus' fables of faubus. Glad I went.
  12. I saw her with Hank Jones and the Dizzy Gillespie big bands separately but one concert a couple of years ago. Again, Jones and the band were great, she was merely ok. Nice looking lady though.
  13. hope someone can record the Getz show and post it somewhere for download.
  14. last minute but think I will try to get over there today. Street address is 2455 6th St NW with metered parking available.
  15. Hargrove is a serious player. Gambarini's vocals have never done that much for me either recorded or in person.
  16. the DVD that comes with the box set is good as well. Musically, I like the live set better as the 3rd disc on the box kinds drags.
  17. how is the sound on this one? some of DPs were pretty flat soundwise.
  18. Single layer-Taiyo Yuden premium. $30 per 100 discs shipped is a good price Dual layer-Verbatim- generally $1.25 per disc is a good price shipped I think. IMHO, duals have a higher failure rate but I've had no coasters with Verbatim. I don't think TY makes a dual layer product.
  19. Just picked up Dark Secrets from a board member and I will be tracking down more of his cds-Bill Heid is a real artist. Another mention must go to JoeyD's dad Papa D who has a number of excellent cds.
  20. Europe to the rescue!
  21. That's odd, unless I'm very much mistaken it's quite common over this side of the pond, I'll have a look... Thanks!!
  22. This is one of our favorite cds and my copy has disappeared. It is surprisingly OOP and thus very expensive to replace. Does anyone have one to sell (remastered version) or an extra copy? Thanks
  23. Sad news. One of my favorite percussionists and a pioneer of the double bass drum.
  24. please take your business elsewhere.
