Hardbopjazz

Do you have a recording that you wouldn’t want to live without? One that touches your soul when you listen to it? What is it? I tried to think of mine but couldn't come up with one. I have recordings, that through the years, I raised above the rest, but it always seems to change after awhile.

I saw some records that I've been searching for. I never used this place before. Has anyone here ever bought from them? I don't like give ny credit card number to places I've never heard of. They give no indication that they are a secure site. http://www.musicstack.com/

Have a great brithday Chuck.

U.S. National - AP Stolen 320-Year-Old Cello Is Found By RYAN PEARSON, Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES - A 320-year-old missing Stradivarius cello is back with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, having possibly avoided becoming the most expensive CD rack ever. AP Photo Slideshow: Stolen Stradivarius Recovered A nurse found the $3.5 million instrument made by master craftsman Antonio Stradivari lying by a trash bin — and almost had her boyfriend convert it into a CD holder, police said Tuesday. The instrument is damaged but reparable, a restorer said. Melanie Stevens, 29, discovered the cello about a mile from where it was stolen, still inside its silver-coated plastic case. She put it in her car's trunk for two days. Then Stevens asked her boyfriend, a cabinetmaker, to either repair the instrument or convert it into a unique CD holder, Detective Donald Hrycyk said. She said she didn't know its significance until she noticed a news report May 7. "I had the idea to possibly put a hinge on the front. ... He would install little shelves inside," Stevens said. "It would be a very elaborate CD case. I know it sounds crazy." The philharmonic's associate principal cellist, Daniel Rothmuller, who played the instrument for more than 25 years, called the instrument's recovery "an incredible miracle. ... Can you imagine it going into a garbage truck?" Its return was a relief for philharmonic principal cellist Peter Stumpf, who accidentally left it outside his home. Nearby video surveillance cameras showed a bicyclist stole it April 25. "It's been an enormous weight on me for the last three weeks," Stumpf said. "I'm just incredibly relieved that it's solved." However, detectives are still looking for the thief and have not ruled out any suspects. They plan an investigation before deciding whether to give Stevens the $50,000 reward offered by an anonymous donor, Hrycyk said. The prospect that the prized instrument could have been turned into a CD holder "is so abominable, I get sick when I hear it," said Robert Cauer, a Los Angeles-based expert instrument restorer. The 1684 cello was one of only about 60 made by Stradivari in his Cremona, Italy, workshop. The philharmonic association bought it about three decades ago. It is cracked on the front, back and upper rib, but there is no crack in the critical rear soundpost, Cauer said. He said the cello, which had been cracked before, should be ready for play by October. Stevens said she hired an attorney because she wanted to get the cello to authorities and feared people would question her story. Stevens said if she receives the reward money, she will "happily, graciously take it," to start a music appreciation foundation for children.

Ouch!

Yeah, I'm finding it hard. I'm olny on the thris artist in my collection and it's be 8 days. I've been doing about 5 CD's a day. At this rate, I'll be doing this well into 2005.

Then let's just spin his music. The best way to remember him.

We should all not post anything for about five minutes at a certain time today out of respect for Elvin. How about 12 PM EST? You can figure out your time zone.

Streaming some of his music out of WKCR.ORG

This time it is true. I had made phone reservations for his Blue Note shows. I gave my email when I made the reservations. I was emailed this morning saying the shows are off. No other information given. They still have the shows listed on their site. R.I.P Elvin. Hope you're playing with Trane, Eric Dolphy and Jimmy Garrison as we talk about you.

So true, Amem.

My list would be too long. I crank everything up loud when I'm at home and have my earphones on.

I wonder how many users signed up at this fourm just to spam?

I never tried spam. Looks too much like dog food.

True. That's how I first started listen to Benson and Washington JR from all those old CTI recordings.

Another one- Nez. I don't understand the words but she is pretty hot. Kind of techno music.

Sad ti hear this. R.I.P. Tony

Great, I have this one.

Here are a couple links to their catalog.LINK LINK Wow, nice list of stuff.

Saw the film, but remember hearing them.

Strange News - AP I would make a mad dash for the door. Hotel Charges $1,000 for Omelet Mon May 17,11:56 AM ET Add Strange News - AP to My Yahoo! NEW YORK - It's not made of gold — just eggs, lobster, caviar and a few trimmings. But an omelet on the menu of a swanky Manhattan hotel will set you back $1,000, plus tip. "I couldn't believe it was the price when I first saw '1,000' on the menu. I thought it was the calorie count," Virginia Marnell, a customer at Norma's restaurant in Le Parker Meridien hotel on West 57th Street, told the Daily News for Monday editions. The omelet, which debuted May 5 and is billed as the "Zillion Dollar Frittata," has six eggs, a lobster and — here's the kicker — 10 ounces of sevruga caviar. The restaurant pays $65 an ounce for the caviar, according to Norma's general manager, Steven Pipes. "Since we knew it was going to be a very expensive dish, we decided to have some fun with it," Pipes told the News. "It's not just a gimmick, though. It tastes good." Beside the omelet's entry in the menu is the following message: "Norma dares you to expense this." No one has ordered it yet. A "budget" version of the omelet, containing only one ounce of caviar, sells for $100.

I have to say I agree with you on this. There are many sessions sitting on the shelves somewhere that have no chance of being reissued. Maybe one of these labels will see a market for these sessions. But, they will have to somehow get a copy of these recordings in order to produce CD's from. I wouldn't think the companies that have these recordings would let them out for others to reissue.

My goal is to make my wife love jazz as much as I do. That would be like finding peace in the middle east. Hard, but impossible. She did like Jimmy Smith when we saw him live. Let's playn some of his albums without any complaints.

I've seen the Wynton Kelly Blue Note sessions for sale on line at Tower. I guess this is the same label. It doesn't say.

The Jazz Factory must be having a field day with recordings over 50 years. This was the only one by them that I've seen. Are there others? If so, what ones?
