The Ice Queen The Fair Miss Frigidaire (but she's sensational!) My Fair Lady Is that Arthur Fiedler or Alvin Fielder?

I agree, and they also don't nearly compare with Handy's work with Mingus at the time. His playing on Wonderland and Mingus Dynasty in particular is impeccable.

Yes, and on the odd chance the price were to drop below what I'm currently being charged (which is lower than the current price displaying for the item) then my total would go down. I once got them to give me credit because there was a pretty significant price drop on a non-preorder item between the time I placed the order and when it shipped. They had already charged me because the order was at the preparing for shipping stage. So it always pays to ask if you see something like this.

I was lucky to be in SF to catch this: Thursday, November 2, 2000 SFJazz Presents: A Salute to Eddie Marshall In this specially priced event, the Festival honors a drummer of international stature who makes his home here in the Bay Area: the great Eddie Marshall. A longtime collaborator of jazz masters like Stan Getz, Toshiko Akiyoshi, and the stellar musicians on this bill, Marshall has had an incalculable influence on the evolution of jazz in San Francisco over the past quarter-century. He continues to move the music ahead with his latest band, Holy Mischief, which performs in this concert. Joining Marshall on the Masonic stage is world-renowned vocalist and conductor Bobby McFerrin, who credits some of his "most cherished memories of making music" to his 20-year history with Eddie Marshall. Also performing with and in honor of Marshall are jazz vibraphone great Bobby Hutcherson and his quartet, with trumpet legend Freddie Hubbard as special guest. The evening is capped off with the historic reunion of Marshall’s influential fusion band, The Fourth Way. Anyone else see this show? I can't remember if Freddie made it, and Mike White played very poorly as he also did when I saw a Handy Quintet reunion at Iridium.

I got rid of my land line and ported my old number to a VOIP service, Callcentric. I pay about $3.50 a month for the service including voice mail and 1.5 cents a minute for outgoing calls, which I rarely make (I use my cell for most calls). My cell is a simple flip phone. I have a Verizon voice-only plan and get a 20% discount through work. I scaled back to "basic" cable from Time-Warner--just broadcast channels and C-SPAN, basically. I watch Netflix streaming through a networked Blu-Ray player. I just got rid of my DVD component with the price hike. I watch MSNBC for free online at: http://www.rentadrone.org/msnbc-live-rockinroosters/ The same site also has CNN, CNBC, FOX, BBC, Al Jazeera. All told, my total monthly expense for Cable, Cable Internet, Cell Phone, VOIP and Netflix is under $150.

Bobby Carcasses is a great Cuban scat singer.

Yeah, while Rome burned.

Probably depends on demand. As soon as lots of people start ordering it at the lower price, they jack the price a little. Free enterprise, you know. There should be a futures market for this stuff.

Twardzik has the "legendary" mystique, and he is great, but I prefer Freeman, who is truly underrated.

The Prince Lasha material from Berkeley and Monterey is fantastic. I have LP rips I found online. This stuff should get a decent CD treatment.

I met Donald Elfman at a Joel Forrester show and told him how indebted I was to him for putting out the Handy Columbias when he was at Koch. The CD I have of In the Vernacular sounds poorly mastered. I wonder if the flaws are in the original source.

I was charged $29.45 after pre-ordering originally at about $36. The current price Amazon is showing is $30.55. What's with all the pre-release price fluctuations?

The Amazon price is down to about $30.

I remember that Braxton played one of the jam sessions around that time (maybe same year), at Carnegie. My friends and I were sitting next to an older, very patrician looking couple. "What do you think of that Anthony Braxton?" the woman asked us. I thought it odd that somebody who looked 'old and straight' would single out Braxton. "He's great," I said, "but this is an unusual setting for him." The woman beamed a big smile and said, "He's our son-in-law!"
