Tom 1960

Up to recently I've had no issues using Paypal when making purchases online. A couple months ago I began encountering problems not being able to complete tranasctions, claiming my card is invalid. This is especially frustrating when I attempt to make purchases on eBay. I've had to contact the vendors asking if we could seek alternative solutions, like just mailing a check. There is nothing wrong with the card when I make numerous transactions on say Amazon, so what gives? The tough thing is that I own only 1 credit card. It helps keep me out of trouble and for the most part debt free which is important to me. Anyone else have similiar issues with Paypal? Let me say I did contact them over the phone, but they seemed unwilling to help me out. So much for customer service.

It's almost 80 degrees here at nearly 8PM eastern time. Might not sound like much, but pretty warm for late September here in the Northeast.

PM on Sonny Red.

Sorry to hear that Buddy has passed. I purchased his release "Man Of Many Parts" just last week.

PM sent on Sonny Red, Red Blue and Green and Booker Little and Friends.

Any thoughts on this live date from 1960? I just heard the track "What Is This Thing Called Love" and it absolutely smokes. I already own a number of his other live dates from this time period, but was unaware of this recording. Features Cannonball, Nat, Victor Feldman, Sam Jones and Louis Hayes I believe.

Online or in the store? I'm going to be in Boston in a few weeks. Sorry for the confusion. I realized afterwards that I SHOULD have mentioned Newbury Comics via Amazon Marketplace. That's what happens when you post on your lunch break.

Looks like a decent ammount of OJC titles are available from Newbury Comics at very reasonable prices. I purchased the Buddy Collette release "Man of Many Parts" for only $2.97.

Happy Birthday, Dan. Hope you have a good one.

No problem in renting it. It's a free country. I'd be interested in your opinions once you viewed the entire series.

Great to see the many recommendations here and the many fans of Geoffrey Keezer. Special thanks to Marcello for providing those excellent videos. Man, that was great! Looks like Live In Seattle with Joe Locke and Geoffrey Keezer may be my first purchase. Those guys really cook together. Please continue to add your input fellas. It's much appreciated.

While getting dinner together tonight, I had the radio on KSDS in San Diego and they played a track by pianist Geoffrey Keezer. Not familiar with the guy, but from I heard, he might be someone I would like to further explore. Any other fans here? Any albums I should be checking out?

I ordered the Squeezebox radio from Amazon Saturday night and it arrived on my doorsteps today. Got things up and running and now listening to KCSM. Great sound too for a small guy. Thanks to all who recommended purchasing it.

Yeah, no kidding. 92 right now. Forecast is 95 for tomorrow.

PM on Curtis Amy, Katanga.

Based on the reviews here and over at Amazon, it looks like I might get one of those Squeezebox radios myself. Sounds very cool to me.

The Pacific Jazz Piano Trios Select is awesome. Just my 2 cents.

I happened to see a vinyl copy today at a local flea market selling for $20. I don't know much about the date except it was recorded in the very early 60's for Columbia and features Johnson with Victor Feldman, Sam Jones and Louis Hayes. Since I was unaware of the date, I was wondering what the more knowledgable folks here might know of this session?

Birthday greetings, Shawn.

Hope you had a great birthday, Lon.

Beautiful day here with temps in the mid 70's with sunny skies. An ideal day for the "BIG WEDDING" taking place just across the river from me.

Have you had the opportunity to listen to this one Bill? I've been thinking about picking this one up myself.

PM on the Woody Shaw, Solid.

When I had my annual physical last year, my doctor really pushed for me to increase my vitamin d levels. I think I remember him telling me to take a suppliment with 5000 units? I'm presently taking a suppliment with just 1250 units. So much for listening to my doctor.

I've always been partial to "Booby" Hutcherson.
