mr jazz

Thanks for the article. My only Pass show was with Oscar Peterson-fabulous is an understatement

interesting articles. thanks for posting.

I think Bolton's business manager looked a the multiplatinum sales of the Rod standards cds and said go forth and replicate.

thanks. Will still raise a glass

just heard the news. Very sad. I was fortunate enough to catch him in fine form a couple of years ago at Twins on U street in DC. I purchased one of his cds (tribute to Fats Waller-truly excellent) and had him sign it. A very nice man but even then he looked worn. By chance, we'll be on U street tonight and will raise a glass. RIP John Hicks.

IMO, In my time siginificantly better than New York, new sound. Fellow board mates, I don't think we should encourage burning and distributing mosaic discs (especially those still available)-they need all the sales they can get-just my$.02

Hefti was THE Basie arranger. Saw a wonderfrul Hefti tribute by the Smithsonian Jazz Orchestra on U street a few years ago. Joe Wilder was blowin'...

I just picked up what I thought was the 2004 reissue of this classic but it turns out it's the 1989 version. Tracks are the same so is there a big difference in SQ-89 vs 04?

I can't dis Proper too much. Their boxes are inexpensive and offer an introduction to many artists of the 40s. As mentioned, the Navarro box is excellent for its content-less so for SQ.

i saw a Hendrix/Young set on one of the Bit torrent sites. anyone have it/heard it? Studio recordings I think.

I well remember the two TH shows I saw. A great live act.

Ghuck is going to be in Buffalo Friday night. What's in Buffalo? any update on an appearance in DC?

Dish network added Sirius channels a few months ago so I listen to it sometimes but, as my TY system is stoneage, low fidelity. I'm not sure I get all the channels but here's plenty of music available. In the car, it's news or music on my 6 cd changer and considering the number of cds I have, I just haven't been motivated to get into satellite radio. Maybe oneday. I just don't think both XM and Sirius will be able to survive over the long run.

My wife picked the Krall Christmas cd up a few days ago and while the arrangements are nice (including a couple with Johnny Mandel) most of the tracks leaving me saying: fill in the blank did this one better. Her voice just does not move me. Back to the topic: Oscar Peterson Christmas Blue Note Christmas 6 string Santa-Joe Pass. A great jazz album not just a great Christmas album Ella Fitzgerald- A swingin' Christmas Tony Bennett Chrismas Album-Snowfall Al Dimeola Winter Nights Cyrus Chestnut-A Charlie Brown Christmas God rest ye merry Jazzmen Jethro Tull Christmas Nat King Cole Christmas album Carpenters Christmas Portrait Blue Christmas-Elvis Presley

When I was attending Vanderbilt University in Nashville one night a friend and I went to the Bluebird Cafe to see Lenny Breau; that night he was playing a 7 string guitar and was sublime . A great talent and a junkie;heroin wasted another great artist.

speaking of DPs-..how is 31 as far as SQ? Is it one of those flat soundboards or nice and dynamic?

Miles got his singer back. RIP

second the TCB Laussaune cds. I assume you have Moanin'? Yes, it was recorded in 10/58 but it is a must have cd

Bummer!!! Hope you can make it to DC. If Blues Alley doesn't work try TwinsJazz club on U Street. Nice space. Caveat for Jim-it is up a flight of stairs

downloaded 3-24-73 from archive. man does this show rock-Phil on fire. great SQ, great show and FREE!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on Blues alley! I'll put it on the calendar. I only wish I could make the Wayne Shorter show tonight.

72 Anita's left as of last thursday

terrible packaging and the booklet will quickly fall apart-music ain't bad though

hey honey, you know that Anita O' Day set from mosaic is almost sold out, maybe we should grab it. How much is it, uh...only $144. Yes I know I have lots of those Mosaic sets already and a 1000cds but.... Ok Ok. to be continued

from someone who knew him perhaps better than anyone. thanks
