  1. I was just listening to this yesterday which features 2 tracks from Ernestine.
  2. What's amazing to me is with his advanced age mid 80's as with "In My Time", the quality of the arrangements. Superb!
  3. I've been a fan of Gerald's music for quite some time owning the big box Mosaic. That said, I hadn't ventured into his later recordings till very recently when I purchased "In My Time". All I can say is wow! Anyone else here agree? Other thoughts on some of his other releases?
  4. Not certain what others think of this album, but I do enjoy this. A reunion album or sorts from '86 I believe? Insert Cozy Powell subtract Carl Palmer.
  5. Too many people whose music I grew up to have passed recently. I don't like this trend.
  6. I can't even imagine what you must have gone through previously, Joel. Good luck with the new place. Sounds like you deserve it!
  7. Thanks Larry for the headsup. I've been making a few purchases recently based on your recommendations and have faired very well. The Shorty Rogers Plays Richard Rogers and the Eddie Higgins Haunted Heart are just 2 examples. Keep them coming!
  8. This time of the year, usually jeans with a t-shirt or long sleeved Under Armour shirt covered by a sweatshirt or sweater . My bright colored sneakers with orange laces usually are cause for commentary.
  9. -6 F with wind chills near -30 F. I let the dogs out to do there business and they swiftly returned. They don't want any part of this cold weather.
  10. FWIW, I'm reviving this thread to say I'm looking at adding even more Zoot to the collection. I own most of the Pablo's which are great, IMO. I own a few of his earlier sessions, but many more holes to fill. This thread is a great example of what a valuable resource this place is. All I can say is THANK YOU!
  11. Hardbopjazz, I came across this article from 2003 which could shed some light on your question. Apparently, TS runs his own label and planned at the time to release some of these recordings. Here's the article, read down and he makes mention of these recordings. http://jazztimes.com/articles/19699-t-s-monk-underground-monk
  12. I thought the exact same thing.
  13. The Carmel Jones Select is a real good one! Some very nice Harold Land also.
  14. Happy Birthday, Michael!
  15. Joel, my experience may differ from yours but speaking for myself the Melatonin took a few days to work for me. Since you've been only trying it for a few days, I wouldn't give up on it right away. Give it a chance maybe a week before I would try something else. I realize you must be very frustrated and looking for some sort of relief. Any sort of relief. All I can say is hang in there and don't give up on it. At least it has worked for me in the long run. I spoke with my doctor yesterday as part of my annual physical and spoke of my insomnia and the use of Melatonin. She said as long as it worked for me, I could/should continue using it as long as I received the results I wanted. Just my 2 cents.
  16. It's a shame the search function no longer works. In the past I have found it to be a invaluable tool to search out artists which were new to me. Instead as others have already indicated, I use Google which seems to work.
  17. For the foreseeable future, I'll continue taking the Melatonin. It seems to be working for me. I did go one night this week without taking it and ended up getting little sleep. As long as it's not addictive and there is no need to take more serious measures, it probably makes a lot of sense. After reading some of the posts here by other members experiencing much severe problems, I should consider myself lucky.

  19. An amazing day here in southern Maine with temps in the low 50's and plenty of sunshine. I took a ride into Ogonquit a 10 minute drive down the coast and walked along the Marginal Way a paved trail which hugs the coastline. In one word, AWESOME!

  21. Holy crap, Scott! I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through. Monday must been one hell of a day. In my case, things have improved with me taking melatonin the past few weeks. Much improved sleep with little periods of being wide awake. The only side effects is that I usually don't catch the alarm before it goes off in the morning and that I wake up feeling groggy. That's usually cured with a big cup of coffee before I head off to the gym shortly afterwards. I'm going to continue taking the melatonin for maybe another week and then stop. I hate taking anything for any extended period of time.
