I know there are some jazz scholars on this board, and it's great to have them, but if you could be a scholar, biographer, and discographer researching an artists, whom would it be? Why would you pick him or her?

Yeah, it appears to be. Would you know the set lists? I have a set list of disc one Blues March The Midgit ? Night in Tusinia ? I haven't listen yet to disc 2

The recording someone sent me list Bishop. I thought it should be Daivs jr. It is a live radio broadcast from Germany as well as an audience recording of a second show at that same time. The date could be incorrect too. The person that I obtained it from states the month as June and the days as the 18th and 19th. Wayne Shorter is on these two shows, and I know he didn't join the band till August. I will check your web site Mike to confirm that. I haven't listen to the 2 discs fully yet. The sound is poor on the audience recording.

I came across a live recording of the Jazz Messengers with Bishop on piano, but the date list as June 1959. It seems to be too early to my knowledge for him to be in the band. Any idea when je joined?

He did in 2004. He was commissioned to write a piece of music for the event. I believe Barry Harris was at this years event.

I will put it on my schedule.

We should somehow get him to join this board. We all pretend to love his music.

It makes all my problems seem real small when you see this. May God help them.

What was your first Mosaic? For me it was the Larry Young set. How many set have you gotten rid of for one reason or another? I have all of mine.

up! And hoping.

Well, here's an 1 day early happy birthday.

Just wondering if any members havet deleted any of their topics. If so why?

I'll wait for the mating season before I'd go. New exhibit at London Zoo - humans Thu Aug 25, 1:42 PM ET LONDON (AFP) - London Zoo unveiled a new exhibition -- eight humans prowling around wearing little more than fig leaves to cover their modesty. The "Human Zoo" is intended to show the basic nature of human beings as they frolick throughout the August bank holiday weekend. "We have set up this exhibit to highlight the spread of man as a plague species and to communicate the importance of man's place in the planet's ecosystem," London Zoo said. The scantily-clad volunteers will be treated as animals and kept amused at the central London zoo with games and music. "I actually think the fig leaves will be enough to cover us up, it's no worse than a swimming pool," said volunteer Simon Spiro, 19, from New Malden, south of the British capital. Spiro, selected from dozens of hopefuls in an Internet competition, said he was excited by the prospect of monkeying around on the zoo's Bear Mountain. "I'm a veterinary student so the idea of working for a zoo was something that appealed to me. "I thought it would be fun and interesting because I'm an outdoorsy kind of person," he said. Brendan Carr, 25, from Aylesbury, southern England, wrote a poem in his bid to get on the mountain. "I'm funky like a monkey and as cool as a cat, talk more than a parrot, up all night like a bat," it went. "I got a laugh like a hyena but get the hump like a camel, so cover me in fig leaves as I'm the ultimate mammal."

I often wonder why we don't see more talk here on jazz vocals. I can get into vocals. When I was a musician, a lot of times when I was trying to learn a new standard, I would track down a vocal version of it. For some reason that helped me to remember the changes better. I can dig groups like Lambert Hendrick and Ross, as well as Billie Holiday. Why it seems we don't like vocals here is beyond me. I've gotten that feeling too.

Now what about those recent discovered alternative takes? Will we get a disc in the mail? I have the complete 8 CD set of The Classic Quartet: Complete Impulse! Studio Recordings, thses new recording will not make the set complete anymore.

HAve at least another 72 Wayne. Happy B-Day.

It has to exist somewhere. The search is part of the fun of having it. I will still do my hunting.

You know, every time we post a Kenny G photo on this board, it equates to a toxic spill. It takes weeks to clean it up, and who knows its long term effect on the board members. We might end up with a rare form of cancer of the senses.

Ever since Jimmy Smith past I've been searching for the film James O. Smith the organist. I have yet to loacte it anywhere. Has anyone here come across it? J.O.S.

NY, it is $2.88.9 a gallon for regular this morning.

I forgot about Swiss Movement. I believe "compared to what" did make it on to the pop charts.

Mike, I said best selling jazz album. I didn't want to include other styles of music. As far as defining jazz, mostly what we discuss here I would have to say.

Any guesses to what would have been the best jazz selling album for these lables? I just selected 11 lables. My guesses for some are below. Not sure for all. But I would say coltrane has 3. 1. Savoy- (I would say something by Charlie Parker) 2. Prestige- ? 3. Riverside- ? 4. Argo- But Not for Me 5. Milestones- ? 6. Blue Note- Blue Train 7. Pablo- ? 8. Impulse- Love Supreme 9. Columbia- Time out or 'Round about Midnight 10. Atlantic- Giant Steps 11. Verve- (I would say something by Charlie Parker)

I went back into Boarders and asked the clerk why has the jazz and classical sections have deminished so much. He told me the Boarder's headquarters had them cut it back, since no one real is buy jazz and classical music. That sucks to hear that it's a money issue with the corporate office. Yeah I know, it's just business, but will this pour over to their internet site? Will they cut back even there? Sure there are many other web site I can go to buy my jazz. Just hope it doesn't become pandemic across other sources where we get our music.

I called the number back from my cell 270 304 1331. The guy answered.
