Tom 1960

I just came across on the Jazz Wax website that today's featured performer on Jazz Profiles on WKCR New York is Paul Quiinichette. Tune in at 2 PM to 7 PM eastern US Time Zone. http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/wkcr/

Discs 1 and 2

Very nice collection. Grab it while you can.

I know I must have over 100 titles on that wish list based on recommendations I've come across on this forum. Some I end up purchasing right away. Others that have been around for the past couple years. What I like most about the wish list function on Amazon, is that it allows me to check up on a regular basis for titles that might be out of my price range and suddenly become available at a lower threshold. I've purchased a number of releases by actively checking the website.

I've held out on purchasing the Herbie disc for sometime mainly because I got the impression his piano was out of tune for this session. True or untrue?

I have that on my wish list over at Amazon. Right now the price is a bit out of my range. I will keep an eye on it though.

Terrific release from start to finish. If you can find an affordable copy, pick it up.

I've been on a Bill Holman thing of late and the Lost Holman Charts sounded tempting.

Any thoughts on this trumpeter both pro or con? Your recommendations would be appreciated.

Disc 1

I guess it must be the end of the world or pretty darn close to it.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Sad news. Another one of the greats have left us. Thanks Horace for all the wonderful music you provided us with. Your music will live on.

Tom 1960, man, you've got to pick these titles: All To Real, American Experience, Change The World, Don't Let It Go, Early On(Evidence&Dawnbird), Ends And Means, Folklore, Mr. Wizzard, Scene One, Secret Love, Simple Pleasure, Sterling Place All-Stars, With Eric Alexander; Friendly Fire, Live At Smoke, The Battle,Live At Smoke, he made a few with Cedar Walton, at least one with Jeff Palmer Sounds like you're a huge fan. Thanks!

Great to hear some good buzz about Vincent Herring. I've been meaning to pick up some of his recordings for some time now.

Far too young. My deepest condolences to you. Always keep your memories of Lisa alive in your heart.

Recently I've run across a problem accessing All Music Guide. On my laptop I'm able to gain access to the website, however with the desktop I fail to connect. Obviously, I must have accidentally clicked onto something which denies me access. How can I solve this problem? Thanks. Just so you know, I'm running off Windows 7. IE 10.

It's a shame they couldn't put together an online edition comparable to what All Music Guide already does.

I finally got around to purchasing "Perk Up' yesterday and conclude it's a very nice session. The album starts off a bit slowly with the title track but things move on from there. The contributions of Strozier are a plus and the playing of Candoli and Wofford who I know little of, make this worthy of owning. Especially if you're already a fan of Shelly Manne.

I came back with a decent amount of stash without breaking the bank. Picked up couple Mosaic Selects, Bob Brookmeyer and Johnny Richard. A Bethlehem issue Art Blakey Big Band disc, Gerry Mulligan "California Concerts" Volume 1 and 2, Zoot Sims" Hawthorne Nights", Shelly Manne's "Perk Up", Stan Kenton "Las Vegas Tropicana", Charlie Rouse/Paul Quinichette "The Chase Is On" and Miles Davis "Jazz At The Plaza". I think I did pretty good! Can't wait to make a return visit.

That usually ends up happening to me whenever I go to places like this.

I'm heading there tomorrow/Thursday with fellow board member "jmjk". I hope to make a few purchases. It will be my first visit.

Thanks for the tip on this. Sounds like a must have.

The set arrived in the mail today. Presently listening to disc 1 Django Reinhardt. If disc 1 is any indication, this is going to be one heck of a purchase. I was able to score it for $35 plus shipping recently.
