Thanks.

The latest version of the Lord lists 140 recorded versions of the tune! Wow! BTW I just noted that shortly it will realise the latest version on cd-rom. http://www.lordisco.com/ Definitely a must have for any jazz fan. I think the consensus is that it's good but not THAT good - sawfly spensiv. MG Didn't see the price... Yep 350 $

I beg you pardon SIR, but what does LORD stand for?

In THIS sense I might moderately agree with Al.

I second that, if you like the sound why change it? Ignorance. Didn't know I could do that. If you're a wizard of DIY you may try for yourself, though my suggestion is to look for a specialist, true "hi-fi" sellers usually know some expert guys that can do it for you. It will cost you some phonecalls for finding one, plus the job. Much less then a new sub.

I bought the 16-disc box as well, but found that it's bulk meant that I never listened to it. So I've been getting these smaller boxes and am much more pleased. More easily digested music, and the sound is better. But more power to anyone who can dive into a 16-cd box. I have the 16 disc box too, but the version that zweitausendeins was selling (CHEAP - I think 29.99 Euros?) a few years back. It's not big and bulky, IMO. Between that and couw's excellent booklet, I'm set. For my sight I prefer the Big Box, expecially for the booklet: I am getting too old for reading cd-size booklets. About sound, you may be right, I never heard any other digital re masterings. About bulky, I bought the original pressings of the sessions I like more, a thing I often did with BIG BULKY SETS, MOSAIC included.

I've got the Big Box, bulky, but decent sounding. Frankly I'd buy instead some expensive "audiophile" vinyl reissues, like Hoffman's 45rpm, or the original pressings. The trap of "digitally remastered" got me once with RVG's cds, it will never got me again, but if you don't have the Big Box, well...the music is great.

Yes, at least for me, you're the only one. There are better sessions, sometimes they are uninspired, right, but boring...NOOWAY

A lots, alcohol and speeds are the major reason for road casualties over here, expecially in the week end.

Thanks. ...so in America when the sun goes down and I sit on the old broken-down river pier watching the long, long skies over New Jersey and sense all that raw land that rolls in one unbelievable huge bulge over to the West Coast, and all that road going, all the people dreaming in the immensity of it, and in Iowa I know by now the children must be crying in the land where they let the children cry, and tonight the stars'll be out, and don't you know that God is Pooh Bear? the evening star must be drooping and shedding her sparkler dims on the prairie, which is just before the coming of complete night that blesses the earth, darkens all the rivers, cups the peaks and folds the final shore in, and nobody, nobody knows what's going to happen to anybody besides the forlorn rags of growing old, I think of Dean Moriarty, I even think of Old Dean Moriarty the father we never found, I think of Dean Moriarty, I think of Dean Moriarty. I still think this is one the most beautiful ending of the american literature that I know, along with "The Great Gatsby"

Eric Dolphy - HERE AND THERE - Prestige mono Blue Label. One of the record that turned me in a jazz fan.

I knew I am not the only motorbike-stard here .

This is the reason I love this Forum, more accurate and friendly then Google. I love you guys.

Well, if motorbikes do count....

Thanks. About "standard" I obviously mean a tune often played by jazz musicians, I mean that Monk's compositions are much more often played then Stolen Moments, but they are not exactly "standard", but you're right, this is definitely not a "jam session favorite" for the reasons you fully explained. And thanks to everybody, I've Booker's Structurally Sound, and Jamal's Awakening, so my memory is not such bad.

I am asking myself why isn't it became a standard, it's such a beautiful tune. Maybe some musicians over here can give a more technical explanation.

THE GRIFFITH PARK COLLECTION 2 IN CONCERT - Elektra Musician, with S. Clarke, C. Corea, J. Henderson, F. Hubbard and L. White

This is a dangerous multichannels post

on Lockjaw Davis - Trane Whistle (arranged by Nelson...) is the first version iirc Thanks! So I've got it on Dolphy's Prestige set.

I wake up this morning with Stolen Moments' melody in my mind. I know that is on Nelson's The Blues and.., I've got it on a Zappa's record too. I am pretty sure I've got it on somewhere else, any suggestions? My memory is worsening every day a bit.
