I loved the show last night, its a great reminder of this country's steady betrayal of the urban poor and the cities, as well as a movie with fine music. I see the Isaac Hayes was released to CD some time ago, looks tempting.

No rep at all. A six or seven year difference might make a difference in how well the disc ages. There were improvements in CD manufacturing over time, yes? And I have a few old discs from way back that skip occasionally, or don't play in the discman etc.

No I never have, but I have at least one friend who is not computer-savvy, and he does it mostly on the some Jerry site. He says it is time-consuming to execute the steps, but it does work well and he finds it worthwhile. He also found a JGB show (Waterbury CT '77) for which he searched for years, so he was thrilled.

I see copies on Amazon/Half.com for $30-40, which leads me to believe it could be out there for less. Anybody want to deal their copy? I'll bid a like-new Gene Shaw "Carnival Sketches" (japan, 20-bit) for the Rivers blue-on-white CD '96 reissue. Thanks, Dan

Dylan Bootleg series vol 1-3 Beatles Anthology discs, all 3 sets I have heard that Hendrix set is a major winner too.

Just a Honeymooners fan here. And, ahhhhh but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now. Dan

Rotel yes, Sony no. I honestly don't think Sony cares much about the sound of their gear. I swear by Rotel for value, good detailed sound. NAD sounds good, but their CD players are suffering quality problems currently. I have heard this from a few dealers, and seen posts on this board. You might try talking to Cadence / North Country Audio for some ideas, nice people.

Thanks I thought I checked there as well. I will be thrilled to buy Contours, a great record that stands with the best BN sessions, imso. I was hoping for Where Is Brooklyn as well, as MC indicated it could happen soon. As for the rest of the Sam Rivers BN music, let's hope those get reissued too. We love Sam.

I could swear somebody just recently posted something about upcoming BN reissues, including the great criminally neglected Contours by Sam Rivers. Was it in the reissue thread, and if not how come?

Not a mix at all but the back to back enhanced/expanded (RVG) CDs of the Ornette Coleman trio at the Golden Circle. Driving music indeed.

For rare vinyl, I recommend a face to face transaction and a quick listen to judge the general quality of the vinyl. About a third of the time I pass after a few minutes. You can usually tell if a record has been reasonably well cared for in person. Ebay is the last good option, imho. I gotta go now, there is an Ebay LP auction I need to catch....

Go for the MFSL set if you can find one. Amazing, stunning listening experiences. Worth every penny up to say $2000 for a really mint set.

Rename this thread the Bad Dream. One would think Mosaic would cling to an all-analog process chain where possible. So how about the Cherry set? I sold my CD set last yr, kept the LPs. (That was my only dupe.)

That rainbow means the meat has been blessed by Jesse Jackson. If you consume enough of it, you'll discover kindness, compassion and social equity, so keep eating.

How is his Harold Arlen songbook on Verve? I have never found a curiousity for OP or much of anything so straight-ahead, but there is a paucity of good Arlen collections so what the heck. Anybody know OP's?

www.philzone.com I haven't seen any new tour dates for awhile but they will be back in the late Fall I would assume.

Good post akanalog. The space was the place for improv, from '78 onward, and I generally loved it at the shows. Nice jams with Hornsby too in 1990/91, and some offbeat set lists here and there. Try a taste of Phil and friends, its really an awesome tribute band, celebrating the 68-70 Dead. (only half kidding...) They are fun, and they make it up as they go. I do heartily recommend seeing Phil play Golden Road, The Eleven, and Viola Lee Blues before you die.

get some Sam Rivers

I'd rather not have it on my system, but if it is currently blocked, then it may be harmless. Norton and all the big brands can detect some, block some, and remove none.

The best album of the 80s WAS made in the late 70s. It was Marquee Moon.

Webroot, Lavasoft (ad-aware), Search & Destroy, and PestPatrol. Those are the big four, they work to some degree, and the two nice things about these is that they are somewhat free and unlike AV you don't blow up your system by duplicating their use. Trend Micro will have an excellent pay-for antispyware product ready by the end of Sept, they have the best clean-up tools among the AV companies, but they don't as of yet have the spyware product ready. But they will.

One thing to consider though is that obsessive CD-mongering is a male thing and can wear on a girl after a while. (Why is that? Lots of chicks had huge LP stashes...) You might want to work a night-out w/ live music routine into your relationship.

Excellent. I found my honey, and she helped me find jazz. Waaay cool. At first, I thought Clifford and Roy and Chet were former boyfriends. Jazz among friends and lovers is huge. Way to go.

Also big news is the extra 90 minutes of the movie, and the fact that it will finally be on DVD, hopefully w/ decent sound. Woo hoo! The '74 edition was a monster. Also, Garcia Band from Kean College Feb-80 is coming out, from a multi-track tape. Great chance for more fans to hear the After Midnight - Eleanor Rigby jam.

Is Jack Gregg still playing in Europe? His wife took up w/ Woody Shaw years ago. Woody was a major d!ck to Jack.
