Excellent thanks! I picked up the Beiderbecke / Trumbauer Mosaic as well so there's lots more Murray to come!

Been digesting the Venuti / Lang Mosaic over the last week and on some of the smaller group sides, (Joe Venuti's Blue Four) there is some really stand out Baritone playing from Don Murray. This guy was a real player! Very melodic and fluid. As always I defer to those on this board with far more knowledge than I possess to shed some light on this artist and his music. I'd love to hear opinions, anecdotes or what have you on this guy.

I'd love the Tolliver if it's still available.

Now, that is a dirty little secret. Ha! Tell me about it! Well truth be told I sold all my Moore and Lizzy off years ago so I could acquire every Blue Note CD I could get my hands on.

This is a good one: Has Lynott on a few tracks and Simon Phillips on drums

That was great DizzySpells. Thanks for sharing

Excellent guitar playing by Gary Moore on this record Jazz Kat. You play guitar right? He's a guy worth checking out if you've not heard him.

Ok the Iron Maiden topic got me started. I love this album: Anyone heard it? I know I risk being banished for such blashphemy

yeah sorry as well. those are gorgeous

I've got a Howard Roberts Fusion that I picked up last year and I have to say it is hands down the best guitar I've ever played / owned. Finally after 20 years the search is over.

This is a great idea. I have a few things if anyone wants 'em. -- Woody Herman - The Thundering Heards 1945-1947 || Columbia Jazz Masterpieces -- Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five & Hot Seven 1925-28 || Laserlight Addition** Pink Floyd - Relics || EMI This one is unopened. Looks to be a retrospective of their earlier material. Not very exciting I know but surely there's someone out there that may want these. Send me a PM and I'll get them out to you today!

sorry to be redundant in posting this article a third time. I had no idea there was a search function. How does it work deus?

Anyone see this? NY Times article on Driggs

Thanks everyone!

Well the plot thickens. Looks like the charge went through on my card but the site indicates the order is "Pending Processing - Stock Check". Now if it is pending why did they charge me??? Also the name of the company that charged me is called Gift Essence and yep they're from Malaysia with the same Delaware address here in the states. I called the customer service line and just get a busy signal. Well if I've been had I can only blame myself. I guess if it's too good to be true it usually is.

excellent work! nice looking site

Hey GOM, Just wanted to let you know the link to the playlist for the Boppin' in Beantown show is pointing to the Don Pullen / George Adams show you did. Just a friendly fyi Here's the correct link for anyone who wants to jump off right from here. BTW I enjoy your show very much. BFB

anyone get response via email? I didn't. Now that's customer service for ya!

Are any of the other Verve / Mercury / Universal etc. sets available as imports at this time?

I emailed customer service to see how one modifies their order. If I get any info I'll pass it along.

Thanks for the tipoff! I ordered three as well. Hope they show up

I'm really digging this record. I've had it for a while and have only just really listened to it. The writing and playing is very good. It reminds me a bit of the Don Friedman recordings w/ Attila Zoller w/ a hint of Dolphy's Out To Lunch and some "downtown" Knitting Factory in there as well. Here's the AMG review I've seen Gregg Bendian play at the Bottom Line as the drummer with the Mahavishnu Project but here he plays vibes and he really swings. Anybody else heard this one? I'd love to hear your opinions.

The beauty or misfortune (depending on how you look at it) of living in NYC is that there is a "bastard" around every corner with good pickins'. Needless to say I have nothing left to give to the folks at Dusty Groove

I just got a copy of this and I must say he plays great! Anyone heard this guy and / or this recording? Excellent stuff.
