I wouldn't feel bad if I were you R/T. What's wrong with being passionate about this music? I may not participate in your AH threads (just because I'm not that familiar with track names - i just throw CDs on the player), but I've always enjoyed your enthusiasm. If Alfred Lion wasn't passionate about jazz, there'd have been no Blue Note. Loving this music is a good thing, it keeps it alive. Life sucks without passion.

I'm waiting for the two Vee-Jay sets to arrive.

That's crazy!

Welcome!! This is a great place to hang out.

Last night's show was so bad it was funny. I liked the comment towards John Stevens, that the judge had seen better high school musical performances. You could just see it on his face, that poor guy knows he is outclassed. If I had a dog, I know he would have been howling during that show.

Actually, the show I'm really hooked on is Nashville Star. It's like an American Idol of country music. B)

You could just ask B3-er to put you on the Political Forum Ignore list. No muss, no fuss.

I'm another Idol watcher. My wife loves the show and I love my wife... Elton John night, arf! I agree that John Stevens has lasted too long. He doesn't even do a decent Sinatra, but you get him on the pop tunes and it's bad. I was sad that Leah got voted off. I thought she had something. I think somebody wants Jasmine to win. She's okay, but her pitch isn't.

Welcome!

Sorry! I was just going to buy one, but.... that "Buy It" button is so easy to press.

Are you sure you'll be able to resist buying all three now? Of course not.

I think I'll go for the Kelly/Chambers now and pick up the Wilson and Shorter/Morgan when they start running low (if I can).

Thanks for the tip, Berigan! I can't get enough of those guys.

Thanks Brad!

Sorry to hear this, Catesta! Some people really....

Okay, how about the Wynton Kelly vs. the Teddy Wilson? I can choose one, but which one?

You guys are making me want both sets. B)

I was listening to disc 3 of this set last night. Great stuff! This set is becoming a favorite.

Thanks Jazzbo!

I figure I'll be able to get one of the two VeeJay sets. Which one should I get? The Shorter/Morgan or Kelly/Chambers? Please help me make my choice.

I have the1980's remastering and it doesn't sound that great. I remember reading that they remastered VOLUNTEERS in the early 90's. Maybe that's what you have.

I'd be interested in helping you out. Send me a personal message if you're interested.

I can't wait.

Couldn't agree more. Yup. I just wish they'd remaster it.
