Not sure how I missed out on these guys' early stuff; must have heard "Celebration" in high school and dismissed it out of hand. But I got a few tracks recently, including an 8-minute version of Summer Madness, and I've got to explore more. I HATE greatest hits albums, so recommendations on individual albums would be great. Thanks in advance.

FYI, she and her quartet will be at the Village Vanguard in NYC November 16-21, the week before Poppa Lou & company! See here for details.

Let me add my belated welcome, Jeff--great to have you back!

Thanks to a helpful tip, I'm down to two! Thanks!

Hey folks... I recently acquired the Gil Melle and Howard McGhee/Kenny Drew CDs from this series (from this board, actually). I love the music, and had little exposure to it previously, so, of course, now I'm trying to find it ALL!!! I'm looking for: Howard McGhee Vol. 2/Tal Farlow GOT IT! Julius Watkins Vol. 1 & 2 Frank Foster/George Wallington GOT IT! Sal Salvador/Kenton Presents GOT IT! I believe these are out of print, but figured some of you folks might have an extra. Yes, I'm willing to pay fair prices. Hit me with a PM if you've got a spare! Thanks in advance. PJ

Jutta Hipp?

Party foul. Should I move it to Reissues? Can I move it to reissues???

Oh, yeah, NOW prices are negotiable! Ummm, I want you to send me back four dollars from the McGhee disc. Deal?

Oy! How did I miss this! Howard McGhee, please...PM comin' your way!

I'm sad I missed his show in Phila. last weekend/week, but I was out of town. Got no argument from me on the front the man's a master producer--his records kick. Wish I'd been there. Damn, Philly to Seattle? Who organized that tour?

Of course, read phonetically, the title of this thread is "France is coming to get us" which is, all things considered, not so bad. 32-hour work week! Red wine in the drinking fountains! Sign me up!
