Happy Birthday, Paul. Make it a great day!

Anyone familiar with these guys? A friend of mine was playing some of there music at work today and it really caught my ear. Horn driven, funky, psychedelic, very modern, I really like it. From what I've seen 2 of there 3 releases were released on the Daptone label. Your input would be appreciated.

Happy Birthday, Good Speak!

Happy Birthday, ISBY! Hope you had a great day?

Happy Birthday, GA!

A friend of mine sent me this link knowing I was a Dodger fan and would appreciate it. Love him or hate him, this is some pretty funny stuff. NOT FOR THOSE WITH SENSITIVE EARS!!! Tommy Lasorda Rant

I happened to come across this thread since this is now along with "Reach Out", one of the only Hank's Blue Note's which has eluded me. From what I've read here "The Flip" is worth purchasing while "Reach Out" might be worth passing up. Looks like I can pick up a used copy for a reasonable price.

I was fortunate enough to purchase this recently in the "Offering & Looking For" section of the forum. Definitely an underrated Hank date. Enjoying this alot.

Thanks Paul. Another happy customer. Discs look to be in great shape. I wish I took care of my collection as well as you have.

The funny thing about the review is that's included on the eBay listing. Not a great way to promote your product if you ask me?

Cool! It looks unanimous.

I was interested in this post Blue Note 1957 release on the Bethlehem label until I came across a brief review from Downbeat which described his piano on the session as out of tune. Any truth to this? FWIW, All Music Guide gave the release a very positive review. Help me get through this confusion. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

I'm careful of what I eat although I don't try to feel too guilty about it when I indulge on things I know aren't the best for me. I'm what you call an exercise fanatic. I work out 6 days a week. 4 days with the weights, 2 days on the road bike. I'm 6 foot 2 1/2 and currently 185. I lost 15lbs. recently due to some serious training this past summer for a century ride(100 miles) which I completed for the first time in September. At this point heavens forbid, I'm looking to gain some(most) of the weight back. Yeah back, imagine having that sort of problem? I could cheat and eat alot of fatty foods in order to accomplish that, but that's not a route I'm comfortable with. I'll probably drink more protein shakes and eat small but more frequent in between meals in order to get back to where I want to be. In terms of my everyday diet, I would never consider myself any sort of fanatic, although others do. I eat normal foods like most people. I'm a meat eater. I enjoy cooking on the grill. Steaks, burgers, chicken breast(skinless) are the norm. 1 big pasta meal once a week. Fish once a week. Salads are pretty much a regular staple, although I've recently converted away to some extent on the creamy salad dressings. Love my blue cheese dressing. Breakafast is usually 2 eggs, oatmeal and coffee. Coffee is probably my one vice in life. I really enjoy my coffee. Lunches are pretty much standard since I eat at home everyday. I have a couple of sandwiches with usually hopefully good quality lowfat/low sodium meats. Like my cheeses too although I try not to go too overboard with that. My cholesterol was borderline up to a few years ago, but has since been on the decline. Desserts? Not really, although the wife on occasion will make something up when we have company over or if we happen to go out for dinner and the wife wants to split something with me.

24 hours of nothing but Clifford Brown. Listen in beginning at midnight October 30. WKCR New York

PM on the way.

Two, in fact: "Claude Williamson" (BLP-59) and "Round Midnight" (BLP-69). I just had the opportunity to sample the tracks from "Round Midnight". Seeing it's available for a very affordable price, should I get the Bethlehem issue or the remastered version which was released on Rhino?

For some unknown reason I've shied from Kenton's music till now with the recent purchase of Kenton In Hi-Fi. Love it! I'm looking forward into making further purchases of Kenton's catalogue such as Contemporary Concepts, Live At The Las Vegas Tropicana and Kenton Showcase to name just a few. I somehow got the impression that Kenton's music was pretty dull stuff. Boy, was I wrong! At least not his 50's recordings.

grooveshark: I'm seriously thinking about buying this one. Great stuff!

I'll use them only if the product is not available most notably from Newbury or Import Cds. I find the items tend to take longer to ship versus other vendors. Not a huge deal if I really want the item.

Any thoughts on this date? Sonny Buxton on KCSM played a track from the album(Kev)and highly recommended it for purchase.

What's your favorite Spyro Gyra song?

Midday Jazz with Sonny Buxton on KCSM. Sonny is the man!

I suppose I could have placed this on the Youtube thread, but I came across this program dating back in the early 60's based out of Los Angeles hosted by Frank Evans. This clip features the Gerald Wilson Orchestra performing Milestones. Milestones If you do a search on youtube of Frankly Jazz, you can come across a number of other performances featuring Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All-Stars, Irene Kral, Jazz Crusaders, Joe Pass, Shorty Rogers to name a few. I just thought it would be cool to post this stuff since I was unaware of this program prior. Any additional info on this program would be greatly appreciated. Enjoy.

Happy Birthday, Bill. Have a great one.

Another happy customer. Go for it!
