2000's Too early to tell!

must have been a temporary glitch..................

what's going on at amazon.com............

Which in your opinion is the best Sonny Rollins session for each decade from '50, '60, '70, '80, '90, '00.............

Buck Hill on tenor sax, the Wash. D.C. Postman gets my vote...............................

For a cd collection, at what number should one's collection be insured? And, if needed, where should one look for insurance, what is a reasonable rate range..............

Somehow I think it's a shame these three greats have to pay tribute to Mulligan to make themselves heard. I agree with you 1000%.............................

when I think of the Bari, I think heavy, intense, deep, growling lower register stuff, no light stuff. for me, it's got to be Fog Horn quality. So, who fits that description better than anyone else???????? Who else, my favorite all time Bari player...........Pepper Adams the best of the lot, dead or alive. You can take my first born child but don't take my Pepper Adams/Donald Byrd stuff, Smulyan is nice, have one Brignola session. Sorry, can't get into Cecil Payne or Gerry Mulligan............

Desperately seeking cd-r or LP "Lighthouse '69" by the Jazz Crusders. Already have the other 3 Lighthouse sets..........

Anybody buy the Dizzy Gillespie Phillips/Verve Small Group Sessions besides me? I'm somewhat dissapointed as I already had probably the best titles(Have Trumpet Will Excite, An Electrifying Evening With The Dizzy Gillespie Quintet, Something Old, Something New, The Cool World/Dizzy Goes Hollywood, and Diz and Getz still available on cd and the LP's New Wave and The Greatest Trumpet Of Them All) of the lot. I could be wrong but the quality/content of the unavailable stuff(A Portrait Of Duke Ellington[i beleive only 2 cuts], Dizzy On The French Riviera, The Ebullient Mr. Gillespie, Jazz Recital, Dizzy Gillespie And His Orchestra and a cut or 2 from Johhny Hodges - Jazz Masters), IMO, didn't warrant the making of this Mosaic................

Does anyone have a copy of this very difficult to find cd. How does it sound, is it worth $79 or $99. Is this the first recording with George Coleman?????????

Bad memory, not good. Thanks again Marcel....................

Can anyone tell me wich version of Koko is on the soundtrack from the movie The Talented Mr. Ripley?????????Don't remember if I've asked already...............

I must apologize ... I do not seem to have mastered the art of searching this site very well, so I may be redundant in posting this video of Trane and Getz ... but it is well worth another look anyway ... Enjoy! BTW, I interviewed Getz several times, and I doubt very much if playing with Coltrane would have made him "poop his pants"! http://tostud2.free.fr/coltrane-and-getz.ram Thank you very much for that fantastic piece of footage..............

Don't know what I was drinking when I heard samples from and bought this cd. I absolutly hate it, the voices drove my crazy. anybody want to buy it or trade for it PLEASE pm me, otherwise it's going back to Amoeba for trade................................

I LOVE the Parlan stuff with Turrentine and Ervin, but IMO his trio stuff is weaker by comparison.....

Does anyone know who the child is that Diz is holding on the cover of the LP Reunion Big Band on MPS??????? By the way, a GREAT big band set from the Berlin Jazz Festival of '68...........

Didn't catch the second show, had to get up the next morning..............

Buck never got national attention because he was a D.C. Postman until he retired, at the same time making some beautiful music. The SteepleChase releases, Scope and This Is Buck Hill, are my favorites................

Just got home from the last night of the Kenny Burrell Birthday Celebration at Yoshi's in Oakland, CA which included the legendary master Gerald Wilson and his big band, the honoree Kenny Burrell, plus my FAVORITE Joey D. Of course nobody can steel the show from Joey D. but Hubert Laws almost did so. He laid down some hard driving, swinging hard bop blues lines on his flute, piccolo and bass flute. And what can I say about Gerald Wilson, a ball of energy at 87. He told me(which I hadn't realized)he joined Diz's band approx 3 months before he disbanded it in 1950 and was in the trumpet section with my father Elmon Wright, Willie Cook, Dave Burns and maybe a couple of others. He also told me my dad was in his band that toured with Billie Holiday in California in the early days. That band was unrecorded. On stage, while recounting his band days during the three years he lived in San Francisco, he mentioned my father's name among some others, I got a real kick out of that. A truly great night of muisc. Before I go, Herman Riley sounded great in the Budd Johnson, early Yusef Lateef tradition with his big bluesy tough tone........

I should really do some buisness with Walmart.com. Why?, because unlike Amazon.com, they still have very LARGE, beautiful jpg's

Yesterday, Featuring the Legendary Hassan/Drums Unlimited by Max Roach on Collectibles.........

Although it was Afro Blue and The Promise from Trane's Live At Birdland that hooked me on jazz at approx 15(can't hear the avant-garde stuff today), the first two cd's I purchased were A Night At Birdland Vol.'s 1&2 by Art Blakey in '97 1800 cd's ago..................

My all time favorite from Gil Scott-Heron is H2o Gate Blues..............

thanks Chuck...........
