Big John Patton 'Along Came John' (BN NY USA stereo) Jimmy Smith 'Groovin' At Small's Paradise Vols 1 and 2' (Both BN 47W6rd DG mono no 'Inc')

I'm finding with the Dexter set that about 2 CDs at a time is about right. Very enjoyable set ! Nothing earth-shattering but no crap either.

Elvin Jones 'Time Capsule' (Vanguard). With Bunky Green !

I'm time-travelling. Just posted my 'looks familiar' ubu so I think things are OK. Thanks again.

"Untitled Latin/Minnie Ripperton (co 121827 tk 7) (Q) 4:01 from 5/5/75" Looks interesting. Presumably a tribute to Minnie Ripperton as was done for Messrs Willie Nelson and Billy Preston and not a collaboration with Ripperton?

Jimmy Smith 'A New Sound.. A New Star' (BN 47W63rd side 1/Lex side 2 DG mono) 'Tenderly' on side 2 is a real rip-roarin' tour-de-force !

Isn't that an 11-CD set? Yep, it's 11CD not 8.

Is this the one you had in mind: Bill Barron - Modern Windows Suite - Savoy Looks familiar !

Yes, ubu - I think those are the ones. Thanks ! Certainly remember seeing that Lateef and the Coltrane/Harden. Probably the Lateef I was thinking of concerning the colour. I first noticed these around 94-ish so maybe the fact that they disappeared sharpish was that they were already obsolete. Perhaps my memory is playing tricks though re: Bill Barron.

Ozzie Cadena was booking gigs at the Lighthouse Hermosa Beach last time I called in there. Nice guy !

... unlike the centre of Rio, where even the taxi drivers go through red lights as a matter of course (as I found out first hand). Almost as bad as the driving over here !

Dexter Gordon Prestige 8CD set, CD1. Thank you zweitausendeins !

Don't think they were cardboard and I don't recall those titles. The only place I saw them for sale (and fleetingly) was North America. Distinctly remember that Bill Barron !

What about those white case (or were they light blue - can't remember) limited edition Savoy twofers that seemed to come and go in a flash around 1994/95. I remember seeing Yusef Lateef and a Bill Barron 2CD sets - and these weren't facsimiles of the Savoy Reissue Series LPs. Not sure exactly what material was on these but they weren't cheap at the time (at least $20). I regret not picking up the Barron !

Brian Morton Stanley Crouch Peter Crouch

That's in the 'frontal lobotomy' league.

George's 'Why Not' on the 'Why Not' label is also really good.

I noted that they issued four volumes of the sessions on vinyl, wich one do you suggests, considering that I am not a huge Pepper's fan? I recommend getting hold of the Japanese Contemporary box of Vols 1 to 3, if you can find it porcy. Mr Tanno sometimes has a copy available.

Sharon Stone Britney Spears Kojak

The Complete Blue Note Freddie Redd, LP1

Looks like early material from around 1954/55 with Kenny Graham's Afro-Cubists, Kenny Baker, Tony Kinsey and Harriott's group on Esquire and Melodisc. I'll look out for this one !

Right - I'm joining you. Where's that cable dealer?

Ah - Audio Research/Linn with an LP12. I would love to audition those speaker cables and then maybe sell a few body parts to purchase them. I can only imagine what the ol' 47W63rd monos sound like on that little lot. Nice !

Lotto win? Is that with a Naim system, Porcy?
