He is playing this week in NYC. I have nothing of his as a leader. Any recommendations what to pick up first?

My vote would have to go to Wanye Shorter.

No jazz as MP3. The drum Cymbals sound like shit. But MP3 seems to be here to stay.

Didn't get your email

This sucks.

Sounds like a good guitar the '33 Epiphone Blackstone Enjoy it.

I wish they would.

I just want the music. I have never been able to find these early Blue Note recordings.

That's what I thought.

Benny Morton/Ben Webster a.o. - Swing Hi, Swing Lo (1/31/45, 7/17/45, 11/21/45, 9/23/46) Wade Legge Trio - New Faces, New Sounds (2/27/53) The Cool Britons - New Sounds from Olde England (5/13/54, 5/15/54) Conte Candoli/Herb Geller a.o. - Best from the West, Volume 1 (12/31/54, 1/55) Conte Candoli/Herb Geller a.o. - Best from the West, Volume 2 (12/31/54, 1/55) The Swinging Fats Sadi Combo (1954)

How great does this make the music sound? Someone was telling me it makes it the music sound 10 times better then anything else out there today.

That's the order in which I am getting them. JJ arrived today. Can't wait to listen to it.

He is a giant, just go see him regardless if he is playing solo. I have heard him solo, 13 years ago, and before his stroke, he did a great job then.

My rule of thumb on anu vintage guitar, if it looks new, you have to ask why. Maybe the owner/s in the past didn't like the sound and didn't play it much. When I was playing everyday back in the 80's I bought a vintage guitar, just because of the age and price and almost zero zings or scratches. The sound was so awful.

RIP.

Damn, Tower's prices are high, even with the discount. Stick to Dusty groove or Early Records.

Get 'em while you can Link

"Piracy," by strict definition, is an absolute no-no. I'm curious what people think about having, listening to, or trading live radio broadcasts... If it never is going to be released on CD or whatever the format of the day is, I can't see it being an issue.

Yeah, I already have the RVG and the original release, but this guy is claiming it is the unissued tracks from that show. I don't happen to have the BN discography in front of me to check. If they are the rejects or the unissued numbers, I like to check it out.

Maybe someone can answer this. Someone has offered my an Art Blakey Bootleg From 11/23/55 Cafe Bohemia. The same date as the one issued on Blue Note. He insists that this bootleg is from the late set that night and none of these were ever issued. Does someone have Blue Note's discography handy and could check if these in fact were recorded but unissued? Below is the set list. Art Blakey - 11/23/55 - Cafe Bohemia - New York, NY 1. Soft Winds 2. The Theme 3. Minor's Holiday 4. Alone Together 5. Avila and Tequila 6. What's New 7. Sportin' Crowd 8. Like Someone in Love 9. Art Blakey thanking the Audience

Thanks. This helped.

How many bootlegs(pirate) cd's do you have in your collection? Now, would stuff that has never seen the light of day in CD format which you convert to CDR's be considered bootlegs? I have a total of 22 boots. I'm not including the albums that have never made it to CD's. I am including albums which I have converted but never went out and got the CD's for.

My scanner is broke, I have a database where I have entered all my music into. One of the only entries without an image is the Andrew Hill Mosaic. I've looked on line but could not find it. Would anyone here have the image they can post in this thread? Thanks.

Sonny is my next one. I will get it sometime in July. $$$. Need to do some caping on my CD spending.
