Hans, it was the 1st time I'd seen the Date w/ Jimmy Smith CDs listed since I bought mine from Hiroshi years ago. I thought it was nifty that they were there! Thanks for the heads up, really. I'll keep checking back over the next couple of weeks.

Hans- I was joking!

That's really too much Miles.

That's a lot of Jimmy Smith...

What th... Jazz Messengers (Lp W/Tshirt) [iMPORT] Product Description Limited edition vinyl LP pressing includes bonus large T-shirt. This year marks the 70th anniversary of Blue Note Records which is home to the finest Jazz and is synonymous with the cool hard-bop sound of '60s New York. Blue Note is proud to offer this unique Official Collectors T-Shirt and Vinyl in a stunning presentation box which features the iconic artwork of designer Reid Miles. The vinyl has not been available for many years and is a hard-bop classic, as Art Blakey's thundering drums and a young firebrand trumpeter Lee Morgan redefine the sound of soul-jazz. This beautifully performed and recorded session made the Jazz Messengers a jazz institution. Blue Note. 2009. This from Amazon linky Doesn't sound so importy in the description.

Pluto? Yeah, go figure. Not complaining, though- there's loads of goodness I've never heard! Always up for new goodness.

Woody Shaw. Where the hell have I been?

I was a Chet Junkie in the late 80s, started listening to other stuff and branched out and away from Chesney & the west coast in general. I've all the while regularly pulled out the Art Pepper collaborations and the Chet Baker & Crew/Young Chet material. But recently I played in Paris vol 1, the one with Twardzik and the Bob Zieff tunes- and holy cow, it's about a million times better than I remembered it. And I remembered fondly. I played that thing like I was 10 yrs old with a new 45. Over and over and over. And never got enough. Love. But what the hell do I know? I love Chet's PJ singing.

Happy birthday, Lon!

$20 + shipping isn't in the jazz budget right now. Does anyone have and extra one? Thanks! Sandy

I don't think there's anything that beats a French Press. But the Bunn machine I abandoned for the FP was crazy fast and made good joe. And it cost a hundred bucks.

There's a Morricone quarter? Also: Member 666, post 666. Look out. Edit: But seriously, Ellington's is a mountain of output I can't imagine ever conquering. And I already have a coworker who razzes me for the amount I own...

Hey, was this noted anywhere on the board? My search skills, not so good: WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The United States Mint launched a new coin Tuesday featuring jazz legend Duke Ellington, making him the first African-American to appear by himself on a circulating U.S. coin.

Bump!

I think Jackson still shared half ownerhip of the Beatles catalog w/ Sony. Am I wrong?

I always hated Paul Simon.... Never met him. Used to cover the tune, though. Rocked.

Sent a li'l bit.

Best set ever. Edit: Ok, one of maybe 25 best sets ever. But awesome.

:party:

So: What's the Soothsayer error?

They moved into specialty outlets where kids can't find 'em in the late 70s. That's one nice thing about the "real book" phenomenon, they're back where kids can see them, at least. I buy my kid 6 actual saddle-stitched funnybooks monthly, all specifically for kids, and he loves 'em. We also read Captain Marvel Adventures and Bob Bolling's Little Archie most nights at bedtime. Lots of smelly old comics in my house! The Frank King Walt and Skeezix books are a huge hit with him too. Kids love comics, most of 'em just don't know it! Edit: Veronica is indeed trouble.

Got my minty copy of Action! today. Thanks! The RVG is outta here!

Just checked the Verve site for it. It's listed, but the demo tracks are all Billie Holiday. (I'm not complaining... could have been Mr. G! ) J-U-S-T K-I-D-D-I-N-G! (Don't think he's on Verve!) http://www.vervemusicgroup.com/artist/rele...61&aid=2856 The Amazon samples: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=s...amp;x=0&y=0 Also:I haven't lost any chunks yet, and the fluidity is intact!

$30 here - http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=1382607 Still a pretty penny, but perhaps a bit of a bargain compared to $40. I just downloaded it from Amazon for less than $5... Yes -- but did you get the "melodicaljy fluid" version? I'll get back with you on that.
