PHILLYQ

I was in on that deal also. CD Universe had a verry low preorder price and honored it.

From the link you provided it looks like only the 'Captain Marvel' disc has the same lineup- the rest are just what Getz recorded for Columbia. The live RTF is from 1977, and has Gayle Moran on some vocals IIRC. It's an expanded version of the LP release from around then.From the link: [The ultimate RTF statement was the 1977 4LP box Return To Forever Live. This version is the first time that the entire concert has been released on CD in the U.S. Unavailable for some 20 years the complete 2 and 1/2 hour concert is heard here remastered by multi Grammy-winning engineer Mark Wilder]

I'm with Fay Vincent on this one. We see that kind of behavior all the time, in Little League where parents are chewing out umps(and worse), the excesses of Steinbrenner(and I'm a Yankee fan), it cheapens and coarsens the sport and destroys sportsmanship. Respect is necessary.

In 1964 at age 8 I got interested in baseball and had two local teams, the pathetic(but lovable and sometimes hilarious)Mets or the mighty Yankees.In Brooklyn in those days you picked one and you remained loyal to your team forever. I went with the Yankees, and though disappointed that they lost the WS in 1964 I was sure that more were coming. Of course after that the Yankees were horrible for about ten years, but I did learn a lesson in loyalty and sticking to it.

My favorite 3000 hit story was George Brett's. On the final day of a road trip vs. the Angels he goes 4 for 4, the 4th being 3000. A sad one, but how about Roberto Clemente? Gets his 3000th hit on the last day of the season and dies in the offseason in a plane crash delivering supplies to earthquake-ravaged Nicaragua.

I have a cellphone(wife's insistence) and I avoid charging it or carrying it. I always hear people say that they need it for emergencies, but people had emergencies before cellphones and lived. In NYC,in the two biggest emergencies in the last 20 years(9/11 & the blackout) cellphones did not work!

Somewhere on Miles' Plugged Nickel set you can hear the cash register.

Give Liriano credit too, no-hitter for 8.

Knock 'em dead Shawn, best of luck to you and I'm happy to hear you're feeling better. It's also a cautionary about the tendencies of the medical profession to just drug people up.

Gary Burton, also a fantastic player.

Unless you're the one who got plunked, I'd reserve judgement about how much it hurt. This isn't soccer or the NBA where guys are diving like they were Greg Louganis. I saw a quick replay of it and it looked light it may have hit his hip. If that's the surgically repaired hip it might hurt like hell.

Yanks getting pasted AGAIN by the Bosox. There are rumors that the Bosox might be interested in a rental of Jose Reyes, which would make a tough lineup possibly even more dangerous.

I was listening to WKCR in the car today and the announcer(didn't get the name) was talking about Brotzmann and said that Brotzmann was like the Goose Gossage of improvised music, he came in and went full tilt every time. Great analogy IMO.

Shawn, I send you my best wishes and I'd like to echo what others have said about your many positive contributions here. Please hang in there and hang on to hope- in the end that's what keeps us going sometimes.

That was FUNKAY!!!

Jazzloft's prices are signifigantly higher than Amazon.fr

Nolan Ryan didn't give him a jar of pickle juice?

I recall in that time period seeing these releases in a number of stores in NYC and buying a bunch. There were also gigs galore. I recall seeing David Murray in a quartet with Blood Ulmer, WSQ, etc and I could have seen a bunch more if I had a few more $$ then.

Mine(US release) has notes by Chick Corea.

Kenny Barron lives in Brooklyn. A guy I know has been over his house a few times.

Over at Hoffman they're reporting this and there seems to be confirmation in the thread from NPR: http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthread.php?t=252141

Bump for eyeballs, folks, get those checks and Paypal $$$ flowing in so we can keep this as the great place it is.

For me it's Twinings Earl Grey tea with some 1/2 & 1/2 and some Splenda. Hits that spot just right. Coffee I never warmed to. I used to work with a woman who said she liked her coffee like her men, black and strong.
