One more time. Just funnin', I knew what you meant the first time.

I'm in that club. My office is a disaster. When I moved the office in January, I had the girls label the box for everything they took off the floor, and off my desk. Most of those boxes are now sitting on my floor against the wall and never unpacked. I don't know why I don't throw shit away. Every time I try it seems I come across something I believe will be useful at a later date, so I put it in the "keep" pile. It's some sad shit.

I don't understand.

Good for you, Barak.

D, how about an update. Are your cruisin' a peekup yet?

Great story, R.

I'm difficult to live with. My dog seems to be able to put up with me just fine, but after her the list grows very short.

Have an eclair, it's all good.

Okay, I made it through disc 1 with little or no injuries. 1. Not much interest from me at the very beginning, but it most definitely grew on me. Turned out to be a real solid piece of work. I liked it, no real clue as to the players. Might be something from The Modern Jazz Quartet, no? 2. Too much scat for me. Jaco on bass? 3. Heavy, heavy bass drum. A little too heavy if you ask me. Didn't seem to ever really take off. Is that Vincent Herring in there? 4. Not sure of the tune, but this one got me. Might be some Freddie Hubbard influence on trumpet. The baritone had a real rich sound to it, Cecil Payne, Adams, I doubt it. I'm thinking this player is better known for something besides the baritone, but what the hell do I know? This was a very fine track. 5. I liked this one form the start. It stayed real nice all the way through, I'm sold. The tune seems so familiar, almost sounds like "Now's The Time". Dual tenors! I though I heard Booker Ervin, I thought I heard Joe Henderson, I thought I heard Stanley T., but honestly have no idea. 6. This be "Lush Life" and a damn fine solo piano version. I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff. Always real easy for me to be taken in when I hear something played this sweet. Damn you MIke for not posting in Jim R's favorite Lush Life thread. No real guess on the player, but I hope this is not off something out of print, or heads will roll. B-) 7. "Only a Paper Moon" The gal can sing, however this is not for me. 8. This one makes you want to move, has a real nice vibe to it. Me likey! 9. Yikes, at first I'm thinking, "Mike threw some Chuck Mangione in on us", then it started to get better. Kind of a funky feel to it. I got into it some, although it's really not my kind of thing. Seems/sounds almost like Woody Shaw may be invloved here, in one way or another. 10. "Sidewinder" Mike, this was the gimme track, no? B-) I never cared for vocals on this classic. I would have to say Jon Hendricks is in on this. 11. Not for me. 12. Bass sounded fine, but this one did nothing for me. Mike, it was interesting to say the least. A lot of organ tracks, so obviously I struggled. Thanks for including me.

Great cover!! I look forward to the read.

Good for you.

I was going to chime in on how bad my week has sucked so far, but..... You deserve a break, Al.

chronologically he is. If we talk in terms of maturity most of us would probably fall into that range. HEY! Speak for yerself ya big, fat, ugly stoopid jerk! B-) Tony, you forgot to say "and stuff like that". B-)

Good advice!

Here's to you JT!

What's not to like? It's Duke being very much Duke. I find a spin it a lot on Sundays when taking it easy. It is for me a comfort cd.

Give this sucka some legs!

Was free Ripple included in your benefits package?

That's a good one! Another live recording I really enjoy... Very intimate, and I love the vibes Duke gives off.

Shhhhhh.....

Belated Birthday Message B-) Hope it was a good one!
