Tom 1960

What became of the injured Alouette player in yesterdays game who had to be carted off the field? It was pretty scarey watching him lay motionless on the field for quite some time.

I know how some here feel about Fresh Sound, but would this be a good alternative to the Capitol issue?

A nice one. My favorite track has to be "The Grim Reaper's Rapture". Maybe my track of the week? The intro is where all hell breaks loose before everyone comes together bringing a sense of order somewhat to the proceedings. Yeah, not quite what you expect from the Criss Cross label. If you have the opportunity, give that one a listen. I really enjoy Warfield and since this is my first purchase, I look forward to delving deeper into his catalogue.

Happy Birthday, Jeff!

Happy Birthday, Paul. Enjoy the day my friend.

Has anyone picked up the Sims release? It sounds pretty good based on the samples here on Amazon.

I'm going to make a donation to the Red Cross. It's the least I can do.

Thanks Paul. Actually the supervisor wanted me to work my day off tomorrow/Tuesday. I said no thanks. She wasn't happy

The winds have gotten stronger as the afternoon has progressed. The lights have flashed a few times and I imagine at some point this evening the power will go out. Hopefully not for too long a period of time he says crossing his fingers. The rain hasn't been too hard if there is one good thing to say. The Post Office closed shortly after 1 this afternoon and I was off the street by noon. At one point when I was still out on my route, I heard a tree crack off in distance and a woosh shortly afterwards. That was alittle scarey.

Well I guess there it makes no sense on further commenting on this thread. Maybe I should just work on Tuesday and ignore all the shit that's going on around me outside.

Happy Birthday, Brownie!

For those outside the U.S. unfamiliar with this storm dubbed "Frankenstorm": Frankenstorm Anyone making preparations for what looks to be a real doosy of a storm? I'm scheduled to be off from work on Tuesday although the boss wants me to work. I don't think so.

I've been interested in this set for awhile but unfortunately way out of my price range at present.

You've all convinced me. Thanks!

Any thoughts on this release? The performances are mostly from 1953.

Happy Birthday, Bill. Wherever you are these days?

Disc 2 Some great music on this collection!

Happy Birthday, John! Here's hoping you have a great day my friend.

Kenny put on a fine show in front of an audience of 100 people last night. I was quite surprised by the large number in attendence being there was very little publicity AFAIK and the fact the town is quite small. The town however does thrive during the winter season because of it's ski resorts. Back to Kenny. I don't how old Kenny is these days? But being there up in years certainly hasn't had much effect on his playing. He was great to watch especially from my aisle seat which was just to the left of Kenny, so I could actually see him perform. Also worth mentioning, there was a post concert reception next door with free champagne which was different. Kenny was there in a private room in back and I was able to slip back with the help of an industry friend who've I've managed to develope a friendship over the past year or so and got to chat briefly with Kenny and had him sign my cd. Definitely a great time was had.

Tonight I'll be seeing Kenny Barron perform solo at a place called the Doctorow Center For the Arts in Hunter, New York. Time 8 PM. Can't wait!

Disc 1

Happy Birthday, TD!

No kidding. If you're like me who didn't come around to Parker early on, you can't do wrong at this price!

Happy Birthday, MG! Hope it was a good one.

Fine work with the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra and the John Fedchock New York Big Band, too. I'm familar as well with his work on Fedchock's Big Band releases on the Reservoir label. They're definitely worth checking out.
