Overstock.com had one copy of this earlier for about 51.00 and $1.40 shipping!

Okay. . . how do you feel about the Clarke Boland Big Band? Some of their lps qualify as big band hard bop! (Plus)

Let me mirror all you have to say about the ATBB!

Not exactly what you're asking for throughout, but MAN!

Many more happy ones exneighborhood guy!

It's all going to go GREAT!

Ghost, I'm giving my sister June's Got Rhythm for Christmas. Do you have an opinion of it? Her most respected album seems to be Something Cool which I got years ago and enjoy. But I chose this one because Something Cool has her in front of an orchestra, while Rhythm has her with a small group. All of her Capitol albums - at least up to the early 60s - are really solid; but the BEST ones by far are with Pete Rugolo. Well. . . the Rugolos aren't necessarily my favorites. But I really like "Got Rhythm" . . . swings and is short and sweet and directly to the point.

Three artists that I have listened to a lot this year: B.B. King (as Dan has), Monday Michiru (as Jim has) and the Grateful Dead (largest quantity, thanks to a few downloading sources). Also continued my passion for Duke, Monk and Pops this year.

I'll tell you a cd that really impressed me recently, sonicswise:

Well, I've had SET amps for about nine years now. . . I've been pretty much a teatotaler the last decade, so maybe that explains it.

I preordered it. I'm a sucker for official product of the 1965 to 1978 years.

Really? I admit I like this more than any other recent Shorter. . . but don't recollect it being that great sounding or spellbinding. vive la difference!

Interestingly enough, I'm enjoying the previously unreleased material more than the lp material!

Nobody! Noman!

My previous versions of this material are on scratched party lp and cassettes. . . . So. .. YES.

How did I miss this! Yo! Many many mo'!

Yes, I did. Very nicely done.

MANY MORE HAPPY ONES!

I'll agree with you about Strays. What an amazing mind! What an interesting personality! What a WRITER!

Well, I agree and disagree. Yes, there is a familiarity and a repeatig theme or two. But. . . I am really enjoyig this set. Have gone through it twice. Oddly. . . I thik I like the standards a hair more. But, being an enjoyer of solo piano, and being in a mood lately to be soothed by spacing out listening to interesting solo piano, this set has been delivering.

Complete Blue Note Monk material Complete Herbie Nichols Material Complete Art Hodes Material CAN'T go to a desert island without those.

Someone should ask them. (Not me. Last time I asked, not too long ago in a geological scheme of things, it was "no plans.")

The Armstrong and Astaire actually looked like good comps; I ordered those and the Geri Allen.

Added are two new "Songbook" titles from Legacy of Armstrong and Astaire (seems to draw from RCA and Sony titles), the latest Geri Allen. . . and the Essential Michael Bolton! Okay, forget the Bolton, just kidding, honest!
