Hello Paul, Thanks for the heads up on your sale. Just sent you and e-mail with my order. Thanks! Alejandro

I just received my copy out here in Seattle and am currently listening to Disc one. Those first three songs with the Herbert Katz Quintet are quite a trip. The accompanying book is just amazing! I'm looking forward to hearing the La Cave recordings. Not much else I can add that hasn't already been mentioned...

The 43 is probably your best best to Cap Hill from Downtown. Here is a list of a few other routes that service that neighborhood: Seattle Metro Cap Hill Routes I forgot to mention a few other shops worth checking out in the lower Queen Anne Neighborhood. Easy Street Records and another CD Exchange type shop. I think Easy Street currently has their RVGs on sale for $7.99 as well as a pretty good jazz selection. To get their, take the 18 or 15 from 1st Ave heading North towards Ballard. It's a nice walk back to Downtown through the Belltown neighborhood--about a mile or so. Friday might be your best bet for Mariners tickets. Drop me an e-mail if you need any more info. Have a great time! Alejandro

Interesting piece about Alice Coltrane that aired on the Sept. 23, 2004 broadcast of The Tavis Smiley show. Alice Coltrane: 'Translinear Light' Alejandro

Any LPs for sale?

I've also been very happy with Netflix's service and selection. What I really enjoy is not getting in the car and driving to the video store only to spend hours combing the racks for a movie that wasn't a "Blockbuster" or that my wife and I could agree on renting. Also, like ejp626 if you're sent a defective DVD they'll send you a replacement hassle free. Whatever service you choose, I recommend renting the Sledgehammer series.

Nothing wrong with country music, as long as it's pre-CMT. Another vote for the Louvin Brothers. Pick up When I Stop Dreaming: The Best of the Louvin Brothers ASAP. It's a great introduction to one of the greatest vocal groups ever! Watch out because this stuff is highly addictive...if you're not careful, pretty soon you'll be getting into the heavier stuff like Bluegrass or perhaps tomato wine.

Hello Jacknife, Sent PM re: HORACE PARLAN - UP & DOWN (TOCJ-9098). Thanks! Alejandro

Cal Tjader: San Francisco Moods

Another pro vote for Andy Bey. Not too interesting a story, but what the hell here goes: I was in San Francisco over the Labor Day weekend and happened to be walking past a club in the North Beach area and noticed that Andy Bey was sitting at the piano. Since it was about 1000 degrees, the windows were open and you could hear and see the legend clearly...pretty amazing. The people I was with didn't want to stop in, so I just stood there dumfounded for about a minute and then walked on. I should'a planned ahead! Latter that night I found myself staring at the street signs at the corner of Grant and Green. Pretty cool place, San Francisco.

There are a few good shops close to Downtown in the Capitol Hill Neighborhood Everyday Music Address: 112 Broadway E Tele: (206) 568-3321 They have a pretty big selection of both new and used Jazz CDs and some Jazz LPs. CD or Disc Connection Address: Across the street from Everyday Music They Have a respectable used Jazz CD selection. Wall of Sound Address: 315 E Pine St, Seattle If you’re into more free/creative/experimental music this is the store for you. They sell both new and used CDs and LPs. I recommend checking this place out. Bud's Jazz Records Address: 102 S. Jackson St. Located in a basement on Jackson off of 1st Ave in the Pioneer Square area. Worth checking out, vinyl is a bit overpriced. Check out Elliot Bay Books while you're down there. Send me a PM or e-mail if you need any more information. Alejandro

Hey Wolff, Name, rank, and serial number is all you’re getting. Seriously, I picked these up in the U-District. I occasionally stumble finds like this sandwiched between works by Glenn Campbell, Pantera, and Three Dog Night in the new arrivals mish mash. Any tips for LP hunting in the Bay Area? I heading down there soon and don't want to miss out on anything.

Thaks for the info Rooster. Seems like a good time to pick up some more titles from Naxos American Classics Series.

I know what you mean. I've already listened to the entire LP a few times tonight. For some reason I could never get into the CD version. My copy is BLP 4123 with a New York USA address. Exactly like the one in the following graphic--except for artist and issue info of course: I also scored a pretty scratched up and dirt encrusted copy of Lee Morgan's Cornbread (BST 84222 with a New York USA address) for $1.99. It seems like the previous, or original, owner didn't take too much care of his LPs. They're safe with me though.

Kenny Burrell: Midnight Blue Just picked it up for $5.00...had to remove about an inch of dirt from the disc but hey it's a sweet payoff.

Cool site David! Lots of good information and the show gets better each time I'm able to listen in online. How about bulleting out the books list like this: Donald Clarke: WISHING ON THE MOON. Clarke's book about Billie Holiday draws heavily upon more than a hundred interviews done by Linda Kuehl in the early 1970s with musical colleagues and friends of Holiday. Linda Dahl: STORMY WEATHER. Twenty years after its publication it remains the primary history of women in jazz. Note: Musical in the Clarke list item is misspelled on the online site I am also glad the show is archived, since I’m not always able to catch it each Saturday night. Alejandro

AMG was pretty close. Here is the track listing as it appears on my copy of this album. Side One: 1. C.O.D (7:25) 2. Rainbows (8:56) Side Two: 1. New York (8:13) 2. Bells and Chimes (7:15) Hope this helps!

So far this evening: Steve Kuhn/Gary McFarland: The October Suite Cannonball Adderley: Somethin' Else The Cecil Taylor Quartet: Air

I been to Bud’s a few times over the past few years and had the same reaction. I don’t think they have much turnover. It’s a shame. Bop Street records in Ballard is another place that is way overpirced. Fortunately there are a few other stores in the Seattle area that occasionally have decent jazz selections at somewhat reasonable prices.

Hello afj67, I did a quick search over at the vinyl asylum and found the following thread on Period records. Period Records Information From Vinyl Asylum It seems like most recordings on Period Records weren't of the highest technical quality. However, that being said it sounds like anything by Janos Starker on this label is worth getting. Currently listening to Bill Evans Trio: Bill Evans at Town Hall...Volume One Alejandro

Hey Ghost, Here is another option: Gatefold Sleeves from JazzLoft I purchased about 1000 of these things and am still deciding if I like them or not. I use a paper inner sleeve to make sure the CDs don't get scratched. While they do save precious space, it's sometimes hard to read the CD info on the spine. Anywho…they’re worth looking into. Alejandro

Sonny Rollins: Shadow Waltz (Jazzland)

I second the

Art Pepper Quintet: Smack Up

Terry Riley: A Rainbow In Curved Air
