mr jazz

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

I found a rack on ebay for $25 including shipping that holds 350 cds. It appears to be similar to the ones I alrady have. 350 more slots shopuld hold me for a while. Next step is to sell the ones I never listen to anymore.

Called Mosaic a few minutes ago, there are 185 Anita sets left.

The O'Day set is on my list. As of today, there are 185 copies left and will be available until they sell out. I also asked if there would be a summer sale and was told no sale this year.

cool! wayne for free. the date has been marked on my calendar

Songs for the Jet Set and his Ellington tribute-sings hot and cool are two of my favorites. Whe you see Tony Bennett, you see a legend. He did a terrific version of Billy Joel's best song-New York State of Mind last time I saw him.

You can take the bus to the ferry from San Francisco to within two blocks of yoshis. going back, it's about a $3 buck cab ride to the BART which runs until midnight. I used this method a few weeks ago when I went to see Dave Holland's big band-very easy and a fun ride across the bay if the weather is good or sit inside and watch the commuters down the cocktails. Yoshis has a good Japanese restaurant as well.

Yamaha 1010 integrated amp circa 1978 using a DVD player right now to play cds-works ok until I get something better Klipsch Heresy speakers also circa 1978 my cabling is pretty old- i replaced the cd cable a few years ago but can't remember the brand. I think I use monster cable for the speaker wire. Sound is pretty clean and I like the Klipsch concept. Eventually I will upgrade but no bucks at the moment. I also listen in the car-Toyota JBL system with 6 cd indash player-not bad for a factory unit.

Duke Ellington - The Centennial Edition is one of the most poorly packaged box sets ever and, yes, my booklet is falling apart-doesn't stink though. This is a true shame as this music is so important.

check out the live music section of archive.org. Almost 2000 Dead shows to stream or download (in a variety of formats including lossless). I've been listening to a lot of 73 shows. Lots of other bands as well.

just saw this. is the offer still open? Glad to see you guys are releasing another cd;really enjoyed the first one and hope to see the band in DC on your tour!

saw them at Yoshis last week. A fabulous show. A highlight was the last part of the Monterey piece featuring an absolutely stunning intro by Dave. The arrangements reminded me of Gerald Wilson at times. A big band is the epitome of jazz!

Try to find the Dreyfus Jazz collection titled Ko-Ko. Best sounding Blanton-Webster period music available, IMO.

how does this cd compare to his first big band one? If I was to purchase one, which one would it be?

thanks for the info.

I confess, I love this album but don't currently have it on cd What's the best version available on cd-soundwise, extra tracks....??????

My NAD is still going strong with only one alignment after 17 years! Doesn't like cdrs though
