How about - Who was Big John Greer?

There's a pretty simple rule. No legitimate organization will send an email asking you to somehow reply to the email with any sort of PIN or password. If there is any reason (such as updating your credit card for Pay Pal), they ask you to log into the site as you normally do, initiating it yourself, and go to the correct page to enter enter the information. Don't send or reply to any emails. Just go open your Amazon account yourself.

Falling In Love Is Wonderful? The Blue Yusef Lateef? Cool Low price too

I missed that. I'm there. The Taschen store is a dangerous place for a credit card though.

The Taschen site has lots of details, including that the release is in November. Sample pages. Excerpts from the book. Photos from Claxton's current tour in Europe on the home page. http://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/...facts/00305.htm Taschen has several books with two editions, a normal one and a very expensive "Artists Edition" that includes prints, etc.

My condolences Alan. My father died on Sept. 28, and it's pretty difficult. Lymphoma, chemo didn't work, etc. Take the time you need for yourself, and things will get better. Adam

Out tomorrow. Very exciting. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000AYEIJ...&s=dvd&v=glance

Most of the others involve singing, where #4 is the most instrumental. If you want more instrumental, or "jazzy" try #14, although it's not the same as #4. If you want a "similar feel," try many of the others - #3, 8, 10 are all very nice, and of course the new #20 with the Either/Orchestra has instrumental passages. #13 is also supposed to be great, but I haven't given it a proper listen. I love how this series keeps getting discovered.

I am in LA, but my next few days are just dreadful, and I'm also sick. Well, Jim or RDK, send me an email or PM to let me know when/where you might meet, and I'll try to make it.

How good is the Fargo concert?

Thursday 10/6, 12:40 am Pacific Time Monk/Coltrane is #1 seller in music on Amazon. wow

Wow, no one took up Jason's offer for any questions about Warne Marsh? I don't know enough yet to pose any interesting question, so.. Chuck, do you still have this for sale? (And what else do you have these days? I already have the Bird/Diz and Mingus on Uptown, but what's the current Nessa catalogue? Or shall I PM you?)

I would argue that the evidence indicates that the Yankees are in very gradual decline, not rapid decline. A change in their season record of 7 or 8 fewer wins (depending on today) over 4 years? That's almost nothing. And every year over 90 wins? I'd say they are still one of the leading teams in baseball. And I hate 'em as well. Rapid decline would be 101-61 one year, and 70-92 the following year. Let's not exaggerate just because they're from NY. :-) Go Angels!

Thank you couw

I watched it last night, and will again tonight. I like it, but it doesn't wow me. It's more straight forward then I would have expected. It seems to me that Scorsese was more interested in creating a portrait of the times culturally & musically, so we can understand Dylan's impact. It doesn't seem like we're going to get much about Dylan & his family, nor even of Dylan and his song-writing process.

Or maybe this is the better one to bring up for comments on the Mulligan. Is it wearing well? Should I get this and another Select before the Basie?

up - more feedback? who has the Mosaic?

up for more feedback. Just debating whether to get this or the Woody Herman box first, but leaning Basie.

up for any additional feedback. Dave, what did you end up doing?

It would be simpler to list who is not playing at the festival.

I learned penmanship and forgot it all. One geometry teacher put it, "What is this, do you write with a shovel?" The only cursive I can do now (without great concentration) is my signature, which is pretty legible, until half way through my last name. But I went entirely to printing when I went to college. I actually don't know if I can remember how to do a cursive 'Q." How distressing is that?... ... ... Not very.

Really? Wow. Sorry,. I just found the page and didn't check the purchase options. I think I bought it from the Bastards some time ago, or from Ubiquity directly.

The Pharaohs are really good. The Lov 'n Haight label should still be easy to find, part of Ubiquity. Ah, here we are, with the Ubiquity page: http://www.ubiquityrecords.com/pharaohs.html I own Awakening, not In the Beginning, and attest to its quality as well.

What's occurred to me is that I have none of Monk's group studio Columbia albums. I have Live at the It Club and Live at the Jazz Workshop and the Complete Solo. So let's say I go to buy one tomorrow. Should I go chronologically? Or what do you all recommend first?

up for more comments on these reissues?
