It might be to soon to blame the phone company. I would get someone to check your wireless drivers, wireless router, the PC connection setup and the WEP security setup. Try to restart the router and have it off for 5 minutes. A bad driver will typically lead to a irregular and slow connection that drops out. Also check if there could be a virus or malware that might block your connection. If you know some people who are good at Linux they would be able to find the cause of the problem in short time. Then upgrade to Linux. If the phone company had the problem they should be able to see at their side, because they can log into your wireless router if they owns it. They can also check the line. Alternatively they should come home to you to test it, and if it does not work properly they should fix it or give you a reduction in the price.

But have these concert been released before?

Now that's a cool cover!

I have listened to his work with Cecil Taylor and love that. Anyone heard this?

For the hot stuff:

This recent compilation is a great one too: V.A. - Roy Milton's Miltone Records (Acrobat)

hAPPY bIRTHDAY! Celebrate with caution until it's the moment to let it all hang out!

Thanks for the recommendations! I will check out those live records.

I love Grant Green's music, and have several of his early Blue Notes, but not any of his stuff from the funk/second period from '65 and onwards to '79. The only record I got from that period is the compilation "Green Peace", which I think is mighty hot with only great songs. Several of his funky records, e.g. "Carryin' On", and other from this time has more recently been used by samplers on their material taking licks from Green's songs. That making Green some kind of cult idol in their circles. On the other hand, some folks shortshrifts most of his funk years, except the live stuff. One example is the Penguin Jazz Guide, who gives low score for "Carryin' On", "Green Is Beautiful" and others. But I would like know, what is the truth here? MG?

I havent heard this, but the dual playing by Marsh and Ball in 5O's was some really hot stuff.

That "Air Above" is a marvel, great record!

Buster Smith's sax playing on solo on Big Joe Turner's "Baby, Look At You" is the greatest early bop performance evah. To my ears.

There is always time for Lowell Fulson! This man's got

Well, you got great tracks by Lowell Fulson, Jimmy Mc Cracklin and Roy Hawkins here. What more do you need?
