Oh yeah, I want the music, I just don't know the history about the original release of this material, which I find interesting.

Saw this at the store-how is this one?

Excellent choice. You're gonna love that one! killer 1st track

Was there lp artwork that came with these?

Pizza

Trippy! It was a trip! It was the Plain Dealer and I wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't for the little pic of Miles they had in the corner. Its even more of a trip that it was 17 yrs ago-how time flies!

Won off of Ebay: Paul Bley-Footloose!-Savoy Other I've purchased recently: Frank Lowe-Black Beings-ESP McCoy Tyner-Live at Newport-Impulse! Ginger Baker w/ Brotzmann and Sharrock-No Material-ITM

Picked up a couple of books at Half Price: The House that Trane Built-WW Norton Northern Sun Southern Moon: How Europe Reinvented Jazz-Yale

McLean was one of the most creative and exciting sidemen during the Blue Note era; he turned ordinary affairs into some extraordinary!

Catesta-you're killing me-you're too frickin' hilarious

This is an excellent point. Maybe Miles was the exception??? But ultimately, this sums up Monk's career at Columbia. I don't think its a matter of decline but a polishing of the rough edges, which on the contrary, made the Prestige and Riverside dates so special; they were rough and unpolished. Nonetheless, I like the Columbia dates for different reasons than the Riversides because of, in large part, Rouse's contributions (he smokes on Monk's Dream!) but you can still hear the quirkiness, which is uniquely Monk, and they are definitely still Monk records and for that reason, thus, they shouldn't be overlooked.

No kidding. I think about that a lot: would Charlie Parker record the kind of stuff that Miles did in the 70's? That's why he's so great. He was always looking forward and thinking way ahead everyone else. It really is a fascinating journey in music.

I want to add my favorite recordings: Collector's items Vols I and II Milestones My Funny Valantine/Four and More ESP/Miles SmilesNefertiti/Sorcerer

I remember seeing the news in the paper: I was trippin' then and I'm trippin' now. Miles was a great and a genius and I've been playing the shit out of him lately...Miles was a great in jazz !!!

Just finished the show but no TD/Haden-what happened? Maybe they canceled so they could go help figure out what to do about the financial meltdown.

Is that the new Haden album called 'Ramblin'' that I saw today at Borders?
