I like this one a lot. C'mon with a cd or two I say! But then I want his entire output on cd. C'mon! He's one of my very favorites.

Until his new age period, there's hardly a Teefsky I don't like!

I'm sure that you can, though I don't use Windows Media Player and couldn't tell you how. I have all my downloaded files on an external hard drive, all my iTunes is directed there, I just had to consolidate my library and create a file on the hard drive, then delete the file on my laptop.

Cool! Thanks for posting.

Nice furniture fabric!

Bet that is some good stuff. The Monday remix of the Herman is da shitte times two, really a great piece of work by all concerned!

Tjobbe, those Graham Colliers are worth hearing!

I haven't heard the Definitive. I got a really good preorder price on the Columbia and replaced my King Jazz cds etc. with it. I'm a Billie nut and I had to have it. . . and I'm glad I do have it. I think the sound is very very very good. I'm not equipted to do 78s, so this works for me. A really fine job in my opinion. If the Definitive sounds really good, hold fast. Brooks' notes etc. are nice, but liner notes and blah blah blah from the annoited cognoscenti mean less and less to me these days. If they mean more and more to you, they're there on the Columbia.

Yes, with Bobby Jones. . .I like that Enja too and he did great work with Charles.

Just cuz it's your birthday, don't drink too much!

Sure, that combined with the fact that these small record companies will be putting out versions on cd for those like me that don't do that downloading thing (or maybe not me because I spent big bucks on all the bootlegs many years ago). I had almost all the stuff in the Miles/Trane (even provided a bit) but it was still a nicely designed set and I listen to those versions rather than the earlier ones because of the concept and execution.

The party is starting, so get there soon! Many happy ones!

You mean the original double LP release on the Charles Mingus label was not legitimate? Apparently ALL releases of this have been legitimate, the orginal lps, the reissue lps, and now the cds!

Yes, each year that goes by and each company like Gambit that is born with the new year. . . the Tree material grows less and less important. Though the Tree "box set" concept was nice, and some really nice artwork on a few of those (I like the artwork for the Fillmore and the Miles/Coltrane sets a lot).

I forgot about the Spring 83---I should have skipped that one too. I stopped grabbing 80s Miles because I just don't listen to what I have much; the Montreux box is about the best of what I do have and I use that on occasion. 70s stuff I can't live without!

Alas poor Miles-Tree, I knew him well. (Actually I still know half of the tree well!) This was the only of the trees I never got; don't miss it (too much 80 stuff).

You're right, I was confusing this with a Mainstream title.

I have the Pharoah on lp and really like it. . . but I like these later Impulses . . . . If you do too you'll like this one. I think I have the Galper too, and if I'm remenbering it right it's quite nice in a 'lectric Milesian way.

Man. . .has some actors I really don't like much in it. . .(especially Damon). . . I'm passing.

When he last visited us, my father was really impressed with the B&O turntable, receiver and speakers we received as an inheritance from Helen's aunt. When he learned that I am using my iPod a lot here in Houston and back and forth to and at work in Austin, he sent me a pair of B&O "A8" headphones. I have to tell you. . .they sound great with the iPod! I've only had them a few days but I won't part with them. . .

Many happy returns!

Have a fantastic day!

Many more happy ones!

I hope it will be spring. . . I might have more dollars then. Maybe. This fall/winter there's that Ellington Mosaic and a few other things. . . .

I think most prospective buyers would grab this for Ray, that cat who died not long ago and that they made that cool movie about, as opposed to for Basie or Basie AND Ray. . . .
