interesting discussion for this B3 fan. Jim, were you playing the above system when you were at Twins in DC?

SAw Phil and friends last night for the first time and enjoyed it more than I expected. St Stephen>The eleven>Eyes of the World was quite nice. They opened for the Allman Brothers who played an excellent set ex. Mtn Jam>Dazed and Confused>Mtn Jam. Gregg was in great voice and really playing his B3.

I think if you are burning a cd close to its data time limit i.e. 80 minutes or so, the fastest speed may cause an error. I agree that it does also depend on the burner and quality of the blank.

His recordings with the Heath Brothers and many of his solo recordings the last 25-30 years have been dreadfully dull. Again, I think you need to revisit some of these Heath Brother's recordings. I just wish "Live at the Public theater" was available on cd as there is some wonderful ensemble playing on this recording. "Brotherly Love" features a lovely solo from Jimmy on Autumn in New York (available on cd but screams for a proper remastering!).

totally disagree. I've seen him play so many tuneful solos that I can't believe you would make that statement. Dull is word I would NEVER use with this great artist

I liked his work with Larry Coryell on "Live from Bahia" very tasteful and not flashy

any Baltimore-DC dates for the world tour? I need a fix bad.

Here's what I have but I don't have it yet. Montreux June 23 1972 Stan Getz (ts) Chick Corea (p) Stanley Clarke (b) Tony Williams (dr) 1. Captain Marvel (06:30) 2. Day Waves (08:40) 3. Lush Life (05:00) 4. Windows (09:15) 5. I Remember Clifford (05:20) 6. La Fiesta (12:55) 7. Times' Life (13:50) TRT 01:04:23

I like not love this session. As others have noted you gotta love electric piano. Worth it overall though. I've found a video of this band which I'm acquiring.

I will be in NYC next week and spotted this regular gig at Smoke which is convenient to where I will be staying so I thought I'd check with the locals and see if this is worth the $20??

Could anyone point me to a copy of the 88 release?

no problems with my one purchase on audiogon but I exchanged several emails and spoke with the seller before I paypaled from cc. Also worth checking out the sale boards of the various audiophile sites-audioholics, etc.

I have this so please release "hold"

Agreed, one of my favorite Getz recordings period. I just wish the backing group had been better-they get the job done but that's about it.

Cool! Is he still doing his Wednesday gig at Columbia Station?

I heard an interview with Larry Coryell recently and he said this cd was a tribute to Jimmy Smith-I liked what I heard and Coryell is a great storyteller. I just wished I could have made it to Blues Alley to see him as it was a celebration of his 65th birthday.

pm sent on THE COMPLETE RCA VICTOR RECORDINGS and Festival-Ellington

I preordered the new Yamaha YAM RXV663BL from J and R for $400 delivered. I've been shopping for a inexpensive HT receiver that had enough new technology to keep it current with current audio and video updates. I hope this will fit the bill.

I have most of those Telarc releases and I recommend them. Garner's playing is a high level throughout though some of the sidemen are a bit lacking, IMO. I also have wondered when Concert by the Sea would be reissued so this thread has been enlightening.

I just bought one and then realized I already owned it

Just bought the Hodges set. First Mosaic purchase in several years. I recently upgraded my audio system so looking forward to hearing that wonderful Hodges tone.

and the followup from the same dates-Serenity Voyage is another nice one from this period as well.

Folks, this festival almost went under again a few years ago (no pun intended). I agree Tim McGraw is the last performer, among others, I would want to see there but he will draw a crowd who will buy tickets, drink beer and eat food. They have to do what they have to do to survive. Anyone who's been knows the real action is in the clubs at night
