  1. I have a neighbor named Miles - don't think it's that unique. Yeah, strangely I've known several.
  2. James has a copy now for over $120... I think I could've had it for $50 a few years ago!
  3. Well, it may not be that utterly unique, but I do like the name "Maceo." As in bassist Maceo Gilchrist, from Byron Allen's ESP record...
  4. Indeed. Those LPs on Red are also pretty awesome...
  5. Yeah, I've spun it a couple of times since then. It's a classic, though I'll admit to having heard it very often - perhaps too often! Just finished: Jackie McLean - Destination Out! - (BN Liberty Stereo) Grachan's contributions are particularly outstanding!
  6. I remember when the reissue came out, which even a few years ago was pretty expensive. I'm sure it's a good record, and probably I should've bought the reissue!
  7. and "Baby." Or are you referring to Booby Hutcherson?
  8. Grachan Moncur III - New Africa - (BYG Actuel orig) Side 2 is particularly nice...
  9. Charles Mingus - Presents Charles Mingus - (America pressing of Candid orig) Now: Eric Dolphy - Memorial Album - (Dutch Fontana pressing of FM orig)
  10. Bill Dixon - Intents and Purposes - (RCA-Victor original) Certainly a desert island record!
  11. There's an inexpensive Douglas reissue available out there from the US. Recording quality was never great but it's OK. Yeah, I'm being a pussy and avoiding the reissue. Probably should just shut up and buy it.
  12. Indeed... though I have lately been preferring the post-Maps Nikki Sudden work, esp. Jacobites w/ Dave Kusworth. That first LP on Glass is a masterpiece! Right now, J.R. Monterose Alive In Amsterdam (Heavy Soul Music original), w/ Bennink, Groentjie, Steve Boston and Jan Jacobs...
  13. I only have Basra. I still haven't heard this one, though I have been looking out for a vinyl copy for years...
  14. Lent?!? Braxton can HAVE my $10 bill any time!
  15. Always liked your handle! Hope it's a grate b-day, Eloe!
  16. Swell Maps - International Rescue - (Alive) Great comp of b-sides and rarities from a classic post-punk band. The back cover references a concert with Kleenex, Raincoats & Swell Maps - what a lineup!
  17. Jesus Christ... that's like a $100 record tops!
  18. ...and yet you wrote "Ezz-thetic" ?!?
  19. It's rare that I get a jazz tune stuck in my head, though it does happen. It usually seems to be either of these three: Albert Ayler "Ghosts" Steve Lacy "La Motte Piquet" Kenneth Terroade "Love Rejoice" (a/k/a "Friendship Next of Kin")
  20. I mean, obviously the guy is a fuckall, but it's not the scam of the century either. Also, I don't quite understand why - and I've stated this before - auctions with no pictures, vague descriptions and a seller with no history of dealing in extraordinarily valuable Blue Note LPs, would garner that much bidding attention. These records are certainly findable from reputable sellers and dealers, such as Atomic, bullsite2000, Roberto Castelli, Armand Lewis and a number of other folks. I would NEVER pay a grand for a title that I can't verify is in solid condition, much less verifiably extant! So, though you all are probably good folks, you were foolish to bid on these auctions. My sympathy is rather minimal.
  21. I'd like to know what kind of tobacco he's chewing. She.
  22. "Kings & Queens" - Jacobites where the rivers / turn to sand / I will hold your hand and the kings and the queens / are out tonight riding their black horses / through the night ...
  23. I've been on what seems like an AACM kick lately... as much as I can be on a particular kick of anything!
  24. Mine's white "ESPS-1014", but with that jacket. Yeah, the orig mono was red... good ol' ESP! Now spinning: Muhal Richard Abrams - Young at Heart / Wise in Time (Delmark, later pressing) 5tet side w/ Leo, Barker, Lashley and Threadgill - tho the solo piano is absolutely stunning, too.
