A short drive from Antibes, no? Pablo Picasso has also been reported as having been in the crowd that watched the wedding.

I just picked up Festival Session this weekend, and holy shit, it smokes. I've been on a huge Ellington kick lately, and this one just blows me away. Next up is the record with Mahalia Jackson--never heard it, and can't wait. Much love for the Duke!

Ceora! (well, if it's not a standard, it should be!)

Happy birthday, my friend!

Come on, man, that's terrific! I wonder who the lady is...from certain angles, she looks like Andie McDowell! Love the part with the "entourage" high-steppin' down the beach! Thanks for the laugh! What a piece of shit

Listening to the first disc of Turn out the Stars right now. I'm really glad I got this--terrific music. I've been on a huge Bill Evans kick lately. What do you all think, if I were to get only one of The Secret Sessions or The Last Waltz, which would you choose?

Freddy Hubbard, "Here to Stay" (DMM Pressing--sounds pretty damn good, I have to say!)

I get annoyed when the subject says, "FS: Rare OOP Blue Note CD" and the post is in fact a link to an auction. Simply changing the "FS" to a "FA" would solve this problem, I think.

Why did I move?

Isn't that the truth!

I am totally there if this happens. What a hit it would be!

Happy New Year! All the best to you and yours!

Damnit, the last thing I need is more music right now, but I just ordered Turn Out the Stars from the collector's choice site. Wouldn't have wanted to miss that one...

Cool--that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying. I guess I've only seen the kind where the speaker itself is on a rotating platter, like the horns on the top part of the cabinet in SS1's picture.

Warning: Organ ignorance follows. Jim (or Soulstream, or...) I don't get it. Just when I thought I understood Leslies, I see this, and I'm thinking, "how the hell does that speaker rotate?" Am I totally missing something?

Second and James? The "Ibiza Dinner Club?" Seems like an odd place for Hadley, but hey... Ibiza Dinner Club

Damn, Jeff--it looks like that show was _last_ Thursday. How did I miss it?

Along Came John (Patton, that is )--NY USA mono. Tasty.

Spinning my NY USA stereo copy right now. Thanks for making me take this off the shelf, Mike!

Nice! I've got a TD-160, and I absolutely love the table. It's a piece of art, AFAIC, and you'll spend hours being mesmerized by the ssllooww drop of the needle to the record. Sound is terrific, even though I'm running a (in my opinion) subpar ortofon cart. I'd like to switch for a Grado at some point. Only drawback to the TD-160 is the lack of auto-shutoff, a problem you won't have with this unit. Fell asleep one night listening to a minty copy of Parlan's Movin' and Groovin'...woke up around 3:00 a.m. and realized the needle had been tracking in the runout groove for about 5 hours! Have fun, report back when you get it and get it set up.

Happy happy!

Nice! Thanks, Big Al!

It's the Oxycontin talking. You are one sick puppy.

Get well soon, Paul!
