This one's pretty funky too, particularly the slow closing track, "Destination Paradise."

My brain loves to mix up Ben Webster and Benny Carter.

"Pleasantly oppressive," nice description. I find this tune "Love & Hate" makes me mournfully reflective. Maybe its just the Negra Modelos. Listening now.

That about sums up my collection. My to-buy list is longer than my inventory. Much of the to-buy list are from Organissimo Blindfold Tests. Off the top of my head, some names on the list are: Horace Parlan Barry Harris Ornette Coleman Need some of those guitarists Joe mentioned, too! The most recent additions have included Ellington and Mingus, both of whom were glaring omissions from my collection for far too long. Still need more! I also have tons of single albums by giants such as Gil Evans. Need more Coltrane. Like Lon said though, there's still tons to discover! A non-jazz gap that has been irking me forever is the absense of any Steely Dan on my shelves.

Agg, why did Dat Nguyen retire so young? He was becoming a great player.

Hmmm, you're right Jim. It should stand out, at least to a degree. Looks fine as is!

I voted to place it in the white area, to place it in a lower area in terms of heirarchy. I wouldn't make it orange, rather something which matches the surroundings. I use the blue skin setting, so the orange makes it appear as the most important thing on the page.

I hope the one who suggested this great idea is OK. Best wishes, NOF.

Oh goodie. The Raiders signed Aaron Brooks. Guess he can't be worse than Collins or Tuiasosopo.

I donated a little. Not much, hope it helps. If I order any cds on line any time soon I'll use this new method.

*Shudders*

One by one, the clutch components are crumbling off the Pats victory machine.

Looks fascinating.

Who cares? I do. Clem is great for cleansing the palate and getting back to basics (ie: reality) once in a while. Other times it's just BS but he keeps thinkers on their toes. Clem's good folks. Sure, ok. But I don't care if he, or anyone else, thinks my collection of music is shit. They ain't the ones who bought it. I did, and I like it. So piss off... Clem cracks me up, I didn't intend to knock him. I guess my comment didn't come across as I intended.

Hell no! The iPod is just a listening device, the CDs are the storage. I play mine at work on a portable iPod stereo. With 4000+ songs on it, there's a lot of variety to play and complete quality control. If I don't like the song, I don't rip it!

Nah, I'll probably just add some Stereolab to the shelves. Everyone's got their own editing process.

Damn, I bet Clem would lambast me and piss on my collection if he could see it.

Leadbelly kicks ass.

Happy Birthday!

LMFAO

Here's hoping UCLA makes it as far as you think they might, SS1--and if they do they win it all! Go Bruins!

How can this be? The Brownie set was released in 1995 (?) and the RVGs in 2001. Is it likely that this set is actually a CD version of the Mosaic 5LP set? I didn't know that.

The Brown set sounds good to me. The Birdland dates were RVGs. Maybe the same remasters were used?
