This one? Used copies are offered for one or two hundred dollars on amazon marketplace in Germany ... There's two different entries for this one at Amazon US, one over $300 and a paperback $75. I sold one on Amazon (the used shop where I work had a copy) a few months back for $40. (I wish I hadn't, I'd love to read it now!) It looks like the new Beatlemania has driven up the price.

Got mine yesterday. Listening on my way to work today, I didn't remember the soloists being so forward in the mix on the Elmo Hope material. Was I just not paying attention before?

Saw this at Border's today: Nifty, but I reckon it'd take away the element of surprise, wouldn't it?

Scorpio does full original artwork.

Buy.com: Now sold out.

Is it a Scorpio? Because I know they have a contract to produce x-number gf BN titles of their choice.

Check Amazon new/used marketplace seller items. Edit: I bought both of mine from "Bargainentertainment3" and got the sets two days later. Gouged UPCs on both, otherwise perfect, shrinkwrapped things.

Thanks for the heads up! If this one comes through, that'll be $50 I've spent to get all three boxes, shipping included. Holy cow.

That's great news, there can never be enough KD + Henderson recordings!

Has it been good so far?

The Cohn/Perkins/Kamuca Mosaic single is worth picking up. And has anyone mentioned these cornerstones?:

Maybe so- Pepper had been mentioned before in the thread, Alan had mentioned Teddy, besides that I was trying to name players that weren't so obvious, hadn't been mentioned yet, and we're easy to find. I could have made a huge list of Mulligan and Baker recordings, a bigger list of OOP stuff. The Freeman/Twardzik Trio disc is one of my favorites, but it's hard to find, alas. Edit: Another favorite: The VSOP Richie Kamuca Quartet is at emusic too, also w/ Perkins on piano.

Teddy Edward's Teddy's Ready is a swell session, with Billy Higgins on drums. The Curtis Counce albums with Carl Perkins and Jack Sheldon are uniformly terrific, Harold Land's The Fox & Harold in the Land of Jazz also come to mind. Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section, Smack Up, Intensity- really all the Contemporary Peppers are great. Joe Gordon's Lookin' Good! Gordon was in Shelly Manne's band for the Blackhawk sessions, Son of Gunn and others. I was just listening to Presenting Red Mitchell and there's some sweet James Clay playing on it. All of the above are available from emusic. The long oop Baker/Pepper Playboys mentioned above was reissued as A Picture of Heath, and was only recently deleted. Might be easier to find...

:party:

No US version of the Doggett on the horizon, alas. Nothing at Amazon, anyway. I'm reading Shout!, and I like it...

I don't think John was pleased with the chorus either.

:party:

I always liked the Herbie Hancock quote to that effect, but I can't remember the exact wording. No one form of music is any higher than the others- something like that. Not doing it any justice, am I?

Regardless of how many Beatles hits I've heard, I still heard "Savoy Truffle" for the first time a couple weeks ago. Whenever I binge on any older music it's because I'm learning, hearing some things for the first time and because of that hearing the familiar bits in a new light. I grew up w/ Meet the Beatles in the house, I bought the Let it Be 45 new. In between I had the radio, afterwards it was whatever Beatles I heard wherever I was to hear it. But I never listened intently. Me and the Beatles now is like me and Lee Morgan 5 years ago. It's suddenly more than the Sidewinder trying to sell a kid a Buick or whatever. I'm learning stuff and really enjoying the music. No nostalgia at all (except when I heard "Hold Me Tight" for the first time in 30-some years:)

Morgan/Shorter disc 1.

I'm enjoying Revolution in the Head. I think it's fantastic. I'm happy to have bought it. I'm also with Lon, the last paragraph of the Come Together bit is way over the top.

No, that's a Rutles tune. My favorite one!

Ouch!

Wasn't it Blind Lemon Pie that learned everything he knew from the Rutles?
