Okay, I'll toss one out here: www.snapjazz.com the snap for photos and for finger snapping music of course there is the variation www.jazzsnaps.com

I've really been enjoying the latest Prestige two-fer re-issues: Shirly Scott's "Trio Classics Vol 1" and especially Houston Person's "Broken Windows, Empty Hallways" (I haven't gotten Johnny "Hammond" Smith's "Opus de Funk" yet.) Does anyone have a list of the two-fers? Thanks

I have to agree with wesbed. I picked up this cd simply because it is part of the Verve LPR series and I haven't regretted it at all. Like others, I'm not sure how I'd catagorize it, other than enjoyable music.

here is a slightly different coupon, good until the 14th for 25% off another Border's coupon

I'm glad to see some debunking of the "not for beginners" myth. I don't ascribe to the belief that there is a "hierarchy" of music with Kenny G at one end and avant jazz at the other and your “coolness” or "sophistication" determined by how far you “advance.” Some music speaks to you, some doesn't. Some music I hated as a youth, I love now. And visa-versa. But not enjoying the music is not the same as not appreciating it. I acknowledge Taylor's talent, but there are many other people's music I prefer listening to. However, next year? Who knows?!

I'm a heritic but, I bought it, listened to it, didn't like it, and traded it. Just chalk me up to one of those tin-eared, don't get the subtlies, narrow-minded jazz types. B)

Okay, I came to this thread late (I don't really have an interest in Rush, but I'll defend to the death anyone's right to love them) but deus' quote caught my interest. I changed it slightly to see what you all thought: No, Mosaics are not bad. What's bad is constantly talking about them. It's not necessary. I think we got it by now: "Mosaics are good. Mosaics are great. They can put a collection together. They changed everyone's life. Without them, the world wouldn't be the same. The remastering is just AWE-some. They're expensive, but not as expensive as Japanese imports ... and now they make Selects. Wow. Great. Fantastic." Let's move on. -_-

I hate to throw a wet blanket on this offer, but I have a feeling that there won't be any % off or any other Mosaic special in the near future if they are offering this now.

Here is another site of interest. Jazz labels

I'm thinking of a trip to Stamford, CT. I've heard there is this factory tour of a place called Mosaic that shouldn't be missed! I'm hoping they provide samples at the end of the tour B) Actually, don't vacations mean less $$ for music?!

I learned that on this board that "a jazz fan and his money are soon parted!"

Another thanks to you guys and gals here for turning me on to the Atlantic NO set. I got it shortly after it hit the 'last chance' list and have been enjoying it ever since. However, for the sake of my bank account and marraige, I hope we have a break from titles appearing on the 'running low/last chance' list.

Another thanks to this board for the Mosaic updates! My copy of the Kelly/Chambers (along with a select) came yesterday. I certainly would be kicking myself if I had missed it.

Another one gone! Add me to the list of those who bought the Chambers/Kelly Vee Jay (I already had the Morgan/Shorter)

Well, the set I ordered on May 2 came today! Not bad service from France. I've only listened to the Blossom Dearie and Sarah Vaughan and all I can say is "ooh la la!"

Speaking of Cinematography, have you seen the documentary "Visions of Light: The Art of Cinematography"? It was put together by the AFI in 1992. Lots of clips and great interviews. Highly recommended.

Add me to the list of those who enjoy Ms. Washington. I too bought the Mercury Series and love it. I know that there are those who bemoan her "commercial" sides, and to them I say "Plffffft".

I gave it to Pam because I think she keeps abreast on government concerns, plus, after all the time she has been in court with Tommy Lee I’m sure she has a lot to get off her chest. Also, going tit for tat against Manny gives her the edge. B)

I know this is the German Version, but it seemed like a great deal. So I bought it. However, there are more avail. Art Pepper 16 CD Boxset "The Complete Galaxy Recordings" disclaimer: I am not the seller, nor do I know the seller.

Now this article will keep you awake at nights! My private nightmare!

Look what just popped up on the "running low" list! Running Low The Complete Vee Jay Lee Morgan - Wayne Shorter Sessions (#202) (6 CD ) The Complete Vee Jay Wynton Kelly - Paul Chambers Sessions 1959-61(#205) (6 CD ) Time to open those checkbooks!

Check out this link for the answer to what "at sixes and sevens" means 6s and 7s

Okay, I give up. How do you upload and post pictures? I figured out how to link to other sites, but not this. Help me please. Thanks

Well, I pulled the trigger (how do you say trigger in French?). Not knowing the language I hope I ordered the right set. Thanks Chaney and J.A.W.

Has anyone seen this outside of the Amazon.fr site? I have the first 75 (thanks to a fellow board member) and I'm jonesing for the next 25. Thanks
