  1. Never heard it, does it whort a research on used vinyl shops? Nice title anyway, though I am much more selective then Mr. Hartmann Save your money for worthier sessions. This was not one of Hartman's best. Strange that he did excellently with Impulse then the two albums on ABC were somehow disappointing. The 2 LPs are now available on a Gambit CD if you really want to check! Thanks for the advise. I am not a huge fan of male jazz singers, but I liked the Coltrane's sessions.
  2. Jimmy Heath Sextet - THE QUOTA - Riverside, dg.

  4. Tadd Dameron and John Coltrane - MATING CALL - Prestige yellow 50th label.
  5. I was tempted when the vinyl edition was available... Overall I think I have too much music then time to listen to it, there is a lot stuff in my shelves I listened only once, or two. So I don't feel the urge to buy this kind of stuff.
  6. In this case would be hired Danny Glover as Monk, and the title would be Lethal Rootie Tootie
  7. Don't think about it. You have only to dance.
  8. Definitely, if it has the four "i" in the outer circle of the label and a RVG pressend on the wax. It has the four i's, but no RGV, as RVG did not record this one. It says Bell Sound in the wax. Original ABC Paramount sleeve, with the highest numbered impulse pictured being A-33 (McCoy Tyner, Reaching Fourth). AFIK it should be an original first pressing, WLP.

  10. You would probably have to make Sue a High Priestess? and charge admission. You're right, "The Free Admission Church of Porcy of Latter-day Taxpayers that Bring Their Own Booze" would be cheaper.
  11. Right, sometimes could mean "megaf*!**!!!*#!***ds"
  12. Explosive virility? Do you want that? No need to cut off your ale and pizza for it. Just give me your e-mail, I'll forward you all the spams about Cialis and Viagra I receive daily.
  13. Exactly, it's a mandatory feature for all forum in U.S., after the latest bill about National Security, it spares a lot of time at the guys at NSA. About "friend", as soon as you became "friend" of Chris the NSA will pass your name and datas at the Mossad.
  14. John Coltrane COLTRANE'S SOUND, Atlantic, stereo (from the Heavyweight box set)
  15. I always found pretty interesting and democratic that in U.S. everyone can appoint himself "shepherd", estabilish a church, even choose the name for it...and suddenly he's eligibile for a tax exemption. I'll talk with my fiscal consultant about it. I already thought a name for my own church. What about "The Church of Charles Mingus of Latter-day Taxpayers"?
  16. If it's a problem of accumulation of lactic acid in in your quads, like it seems to me, a good way to prevent muscular problems like this is drinking a lot of water one hour before and drinking at least half a liter of water during the exercise, it prevent the formation of lactic acid.
  17. The guys at Acoustic Sound are pretty greedy when they deal with OOP stuff.
  18. When I was at college I got my V° dan Karate degree, never been healtier or more fit..and I never followed any macrobiotic diet...I suspect it depended on my age. Could be, but I quit macro at about age 21-22, hardly an old man and almost immediately started having minor health issues like colds/sniffles/indigestion/etc. that had been completely absent. When I say I was healthy while macro, I mean healthy. Regular like clockworm (you could practically set your watch by the time after a meal that it was time to go), and was up close & personal with several ladies who had colds and flus of varying degrees and never had as much as a sniffle. I had energy to spare and consistently fell asleep no less that 5 minutes after hitting the bed. Slept soundly, woke up refreshed, and on and onit went. Haven't had that since, and yes, it started going away almost immediately upon letting go of the macro. It's easy to scoff at macrobiotics, since it's so "anti-Western" in both philosophical and nutritional orientation, and if I hadn't seen it first-hand, I probably would myself. But I'm telling you - if you have the motivation, patience, and the discipline to get all the way into it correctly (and I haven't since then), it will have your body functioning at a very high level of physical and mental efficiency. No way I'll claim that it's the "only" way, as some of its more fervent advocates do, just that done as advertised, it delivers as advertised. Personally I haven't any issue against macrobiotic, I have a lot against a dogmatic approach to diet, like all of macrobiotic's believers I meet. It's pretty obvious that a regular and balance diet based on natural and clean food is the starting point for a healthier life, and I am sure that macro is a great food regime, thou totally alien to my mediterranean culture. For me, my health problems started slowly when I moved in polluted big cities, first London then Rome. Pollution and food of unclear provenience bought at neighbourghood market had a big impact in my health. A lot of new problems that I never had when I was a boy in italian countryside and my mom growned vegetables and fruits in the garden, or bought meat and milk from local productors. No ddt, no strange stuff for growing animals, ecc. A chicken breast was one third of the the stuff I find today at the super market. How many antibiotics use them to make chicken big as cow? And what about vegetables and fruits? According to the latest studies, because of the extensive agricultural technics, a peach or a tomato has half the vitamins and minerals that had 30 years ago. So you think you are eating healty stuff, in reality, in the best hypotese, you are eating mostly water, in the worst you are eating pesticides and dangerous stuff like lead and other cancerous elements that will lay in your body until you're dead, because human body is not able to eliminate it. About "anti-western" I don't agree with you. There is a a lot of stuff about the relation between health and food since the ancient greek philosophers, (the cradle and cornerstone of Western Culture). More then "anti-western" I would call it "anti-capitalistic". Somewhere I have a book about the history of food and how it changed our habits and culture. A pretty interesting book.
  19. John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, Apple Uk pressing. I know, I know, I am a naive nostalgic...

  21. I have my unpublished book on my computer, if you want to add a comic crime novel at the above. (but we need a translator)
  22. Yes! We need more philosophers! I Have a BA, MA and currently working on a PhD in philosophy. I've also been teaching philosophy for the last five years. I took a class on Thomas' 'Treastise on Man' in my first year of doctoral work. I walked away from that with an entirely new respect for his work. Add me to the club. I have a BA in philosophy too. Do three philosophy's examinations work as admission of the club?
