I'll have to choose another artist.

A week ago I was in NYC. I had stopped in J&R music and bought some CD's. I also saw some titles that I wanted but didn't have the money to buy at the time. They were very hard to find titles. I didn't want to chance not getting them. I had a brain storm. I decided to shove them in between Kenny G's CD's, hoping no one would look there and find them. Well, today I was back at J&R, and the 3 discs I stashed in the Kenny G's section were there. See, everyone has a purpose. Thanks Kenny.

Let's say someone like McCoy Tyner, or Ahmad Jamal, or any other well know jazz artist releases a new CD, how many would you think he sells? Is it between 3000 and 4000? or 4000 and 5000? or could it be nearer to 10000?

Yes, they were the only one that came to my mind when I asked this question.

I'm looking only for artists that did a large number of sessions, but only have very few available sessions.

Here's the link to the coupon. 25% eveything in their store, Boders' coupon.

What a great album. One that we all should have. Anyone else agree?

I'll have to wait till they come to NYC.

Sessions seem to go in and out of print so fast, got me wondering what artist has the most available sessions. Any thoughts?

Yet another one has left us. RIP Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen.

Thanks. I ordered it anyway. Can never get enough Stitt.

Would anyone know the track selection for this session? AMG doesn't list it. Just being reissued on the 26th.

Does anyone know more about this DVD(Film)? Is it worth picking up. Horace Parlan: By Horace Parlan Format: DVD (01438115052) Release date: May 28, 2002 Studio: Image Entertainment, Inc.

Has anyone picked up this DVD yet? If so, what do you think of it? I'm torned between this one up or the 1962 New Port Jazz Festival.

So that's who I passed when I walked by the club. There was this guy sitting on a lounge chair in from of the club wearing a Andrew Hill t-shirt. I guess Rooster wants the best seat in the house. Good for him.

Any members outside of Organissimo ever been on any rrcordings? I know there are a few.

I have to go see this one. He has Charles Tolliver playing with him on May 21st.

I have to try that one next time.

I'm most likely not the only one who's gone into a CD store and picked out a shit load of CD's to buy, and then have to figure out how to cut the numbers down to a sensible anount that the wallet could handle. Who else has this happen to? How do you decide which CD will make it home with you and which will have to wait?

So, I take it you have bought all the cds you want and are looking for more. Why do you say that Chuck? Are they trading officially available material? Guy I was asking if he/she had bought (or at least owned) every recording "they" could have wanted and now "needed" more, hence downloads. No, I don't every recording I want. In fact, this past Sunday I was at J&R music world in NYC. I had 15 CD's in my hand and had a hell of time cutting it down to 8 I ended up buying.

If Coltrane lived past 1967, where would he have taken his music? Towards the end of his life he was submerged in free jazz, and he also had some eastern influences to his music. I think it would have been more towards the “Stellar Regions” sound. But give it a few years and he would have changed his sound and music again. Any thoughts?

If jazz sold like top 40 music, I believe almost every artist would have his entire discography available. Do you prefer it the way it is now, where just an elite group of listeners enjoy the music regardless of sessions going out of print?

I had read that a while back he lost his chops and went into teaching. Don't remember where I read this.

Does he play anymore, or is he retired from playing?

I couldn't believe this when I was in Montana 8 years ago. You can have a case of beer in your car and you're also able to drink it when driving. All things must pass. By BOB ANEZ, Associated Press Writer HELENA, Mont. - Some Montana motorists, the joke goes, measure distances driven by how many beers they can down along the way. But the long-cherished right to have a cold one behind the wheel is about to end. State lawmakers passed an open-container ban Friday that makes Montana one of the last states to outlaw drinking while driving. The Montana House approved the bill 76-21 and sent it to Gov. Brian Schweitzer, who has said he will sign it. It takes effect Oct. 1. The delay is designed to let Montanans get used to the prohibition, which until now had been found only in cities and towns, not out on the open highway. Only Mississippi now lacks a state law against open containers, though many cities and counties there also prohibit open containers locally. While Montana had stood to lose $5 million a year in federal highway funds if it failed to pass the law, the debate focused on balancing safety and personal freedom. Montana has the highest rate of alcohol-related deaths, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "This is one of those laws that will start the cultural change that we need on the highways of Montana. We hope that just the existence of the law will make a difference," said Lt. Col. Mike Tooley, deputy chief of the Montana Highway Patrol. University of Montana sociologist Jim Burfeind said the state's holdout status was understandable, given the long, lonely drives often required when only 927,000 people live in a state the size of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio combined. "We think we're a very different place than other places and that we don't have to run by the rules that other people have to in more congested areas," Burfeind said. To muster enough support for the bill, supporters accepted what some consider weak penalties for violations. A driver caught with an open container faces a $100 fine, and the offense does not show up on a person's driving record.
