I used to listen to this quite often and wondered why this band never toured. With Osby's rep these days, I doubt Lovano would ever consider doing that today.

From what I'm reading over on the Hoffman forums, they did use the stereo master tape for this LP.

Weird that they title this compilation "Farmer's Market" and yet only include 2 of the 6 tracks from that LP.

I thought season 3 was pretty good. Better than the previous 2 seasons... not really. I don't like the fact that they end season 3 with a lead-in to the next season though. There was really no need to do that. The lead-in is actually from another book and belonged in the next season. At least we now know what book season 4 follows.

I have the TOCJ CD. The only way I would've bought a US CD is if they managed to find extra tracks. Well... maybe if they used the stereo master instead of the mono used for the TOCJ CD.

I was pretty sure too. After all, there is no "Licensed from Blue Note Records" on them nor does it say "Scorpio Records" anywhere. If these were legit, they would say both of those things.

I was never able to determine if those Scorpio pressings were legitimate. Michael Cuscuna wasn't involved with them and in my limited chats with him about their pedigree, he wasn't sure who was involved with those LPs. A few people have determined that they are all cut from digital sources and that wasn't something Blue Note normally did back then for LP cuts. More than anything, I'm just wondering why this never made it onto any US CD release.

Is the new Tone Poet release of Cliff Jordan the first time this session has been reissued in any form in the US since 1972? https://store.bluenote.com/products/clifford-jordan-cliff-jordan-lp-blue-note-tone-poet-series

Jerry Bergonzi - Jerry Bergonzi Quartet featuring Bruce Gertz (New Age Records). This is a pretty good record, with Gonz stretching out a bit here & there. Strangely, the names of the keyboard player and the drummer are purposefully avoided in the liner notes, making me wonder if they were under contract to a label and couldn't be identified. Although, I have seen Gonz play piano for a tune or two at his live shows. Hmmm.... This doesn't sound overdubbed though.

The people... really just corporations, denying climate change are only concerned with their pockets & not the future of this planet. It costs money to slow climate change and no company wants to spend their profits for something as meaningless (to them) as the future. The worst thing about it is that it's happening faster than the scientists predicted and at this point, may even be too far along to stop.

Garr was in several movies that I've really enjoyed, even if she only had a bit role, like 1989's "Let It Ride". That movie is a classic. I just love it. The characters are all so real. "Mr. Mom" was another I enjoyed a lot. Obviously, "Young Frankenstein" is up there too. For a while, her presence on the bill almost guaranteed a good time in the theater.

Einstein Brothers used to boil their bagels before baking them and back then, they were pretty good. Once they stopped, the became round pieces of bread that pretended to be bagels. We buy all of our bagels from Bagel World now. They're a 3 store chain in the Boston area. They're worth the drive from Maine.

Still cracks me up....

Strangely, the New York Times never did their usual obituary for Jim. Does anyone know why? Was it because Jim had relocated to Austria for many years prior to his death?

Intentionally blurred so it is oblique. Re-doing it in focus totally ruins the point of the initial cover design.

I never saw that one on the shelves when these two-fers came out. But to be fair, this is a European release, so it still hasn’t been issued on CD in the US.

I still can't figure out why Blue Note re-did this 2005 cover art for the Tone Poet LP release. This cover was first used on the 2005 RVG CD and that cover art was more in line with the title. This is oblique: This is not:

I wonder why Sonny Rollins' "There Will Be Another You" never made it to CD outside of Japan? Does it suck or something? Is it worth picking up?

I used to be on several mailing lists. I stopped most of them after getting burned by Turley several years back. I was buying a ton of their wine with every mailing offering me more and more estates until got burned by an off vintage causing me to pull back a bit the following year. In their next mailing they only offered me a few bottles of their entry Zins as part of my allocation. I dropped them completely and never looked back. The only winery I still buy from direct these days is A. Rafanelli, a Sonoma winery that makes great Zin & Cab.

As I understand it, she felt fine making "Vu Vu For Francis" and didn't feel something was off until after she played it live at Dizzy's with George Garzone in July of last year. This cancer diagnosis came out of the blue.

Baritone saxophonist Claire Daly lost her fight with cancer yesterday afternoon. I only got to see Claire perform live once but it sticks with me because she really knew her way around that sax. https://downbeat.com/news/detail/in-memoriam-claire-daly-19582024

If you use @Peter Friedman, he'll get a notification of the post. I wouldn't be surprised if that Peter Friedman is the one that hangs here. Another person in that photo, George Ziskind, also hung out on line back in the day. I think he was a regular on the Jazz Corner forums.

I hate necromancy with regards to threads, but in searching for Bob Van Langen here on the forums, I found this thread. Sorry I missed it back in 2004. Just to say, Bob and I had a bunch of e-mail exchanges back in the mid-90's, when he asked me how to create a CD from an LP. Instead of talking him through what was a challenging process, I offered to make him some needle-drop CD-Rs. Little did I know that Bob would send me about 30 LPs & it took me months to convert them all for him. Why am I bringing this up now? Well, I just found some CD artwork I made for Bob for these CD-Rs and I Googled him to see if he was still around when I found this: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/heraldtribune/name/robert-vanlangen-obituary?id=10105011 RIP Bob. I'm a little late noting this, but he was a really nice guy who knew a lot about big band swing era Jazz sessions.

As a non-father, you can probably listen to Harry Chapin's "Cats In The Cradle" without feeling like a shitty dad for working a lot when your kids were young.
