  1. Great that they are bringing the Lonnie Smith out. That one is quite difficult to find. Strange decision about 'Reach Out' though, as its not long ago since the last mid-price reissue of this one. Why is Hutcherson's 'Inner Glow' still languishing in limbo land?
  2. Michael Collins Che ( ) Cher
  3. Bob Dole Dr. Bob Dr. Demento
  4. Quick heads up that this year's event is this week, June 24-25th. I hope to put in an appearance, assuming I can find the place !
  5. Alger Hiss Richard Nixon Mark Felt ← George Frederick Handel Richard Wagner Karlheinz Stockhausen
  6. I saw the 'Miles Davis Story' when it was originally broadcast by UK Channel 4 TV and have bought the DVD. On the whole I think it is the best all-round documentary of Miles' life and work and is very good at covering, with little bias, the various periods of Miles' career. Ian Carr had a major input to this documentary. Element of hero-worship - yes - but also great insight at times. He's also very open to the music recorded late in Miles' career. Love that bit of film where Miles is doodling away on that sketch pad and doing his best to ignore the fawning interviewer (Jools Holland on 'The Tube', I think).
  7. Miles Davis 'Bitches Brew' LP set. These Mosaic Miles sets never disapoint.
  8. The '4 Men With Beards' Black Rhythmn Happening is a good one. Nice remastering and much improved sleeve with great notes (by Eddie) and gatefold cover.
  9. Very (belated) happy returns of the day !!
  10. Wow... I'm actually in Brooklyn in a couple of days time and would have most definitely taken you up on this but I'm not sure I could fit it into the B757 aircraft hold. Very nice unit !
  11. Wasn't this one of the LPs that was released around the time of the NY USA to Liberty transition? Most of the copies I have seen are Liberty pressings but occasionally you come across the NY USA.
  12. Sounds like fritterin' good money away to me
  13. Hey there, What's your current vinyl set-up? What computer do you operate? What's your budget? Col ← Linn LP12 turntable/Naim amp rig Fujitsu/Siemens P4 Zippo
  14. Really? I think I paid about $20-25 for a pretty good copy (of the original stereo, not the mono).
  15. For fans of early 60s Brit jazz hard bop, this one is strongly recommended: Graham Bond (on alto) is on fire and Don Rendell puts in his usual exemplary performance. Cooking rythmn section too. Session is an unusual one - recorded for the US Jazzland label in London. I heard that Bond was making so much vibration tapping his feet during the recording that the engineers had to get him to take his shoes off. Available in the US through the Bards..
  16. A good friend of mine listened to it once, threw it out in disgust and has refused to listen to MW's music ever since ! Can't believe its that bad..
  17. I was in the Bath shop today and noticed the 'Art Wolf' was in there ( ). My job-lot order of Vocalions has been held up slightly owing to the release of the Westbrook so I've added that to the bundle (that'll make 3 of 'Love Songs' including the vinyl ( ) but must have the 'Magic Garden'.
  18. I did get to see him some years ago with that Wallace Roney 'Miles Tribute' band which had Lenny White, Buster Williams and Adam Holzman in the lineup. He spent much of the gig on bass clarinet recreating some of the sounds he got on Bitches Brew. Nothing I have heard live has come as close to effectively re-creating the Bitches Brew soundscape.
  19. Keep it coming, SeeWhyAudio - I am looking at setting up an 'audiophile' LP copying capability and value any suggestions as to how to go about it.
  20. Along with fellow board member jazzscriveyn, I did get a chance to have a brief chat with Mike Westbrook at his concert last night and 'pop the question'. Confirmed that Love Songs 'would be released' by Vocalion but no comment made regarding the release timing. Mike also confirmed that they were working to get a reissue of 'London Bridge Is Broken Down' and he sounded a bit more enthusiastic about that one. Postscript - According to AAJ, as of yesterday the 'Love Songs' is now reissued and available at London HMV.
  21. For 'Art Wolf'. The Exeter gig was well worth catching and the 4-piece unit with Chris Biscoe and Pete Whyman is a good one. That 'Art Wolf' blues theme that keeps recurring throughout the piece is a killer.
  22. Neil Ardley 'Le Dejeuner Sur L'Herbe' (UK Verve stereo)
  23. The Holman and Russo Mosaic set is essentially a 'grab bag' of material from a whole range of Capitol albums spanning 1950 to 1953 (plus some stuff that wasn't issued on Capitol but was put out on Creative World). Very good set IMO, I recommend it.
  24. Buddy Petit Rich Little Cliff Smalls ← Little Richard Richard Carpenter Karen Carpenter
