The lps are good. Not essential, but good listening, great sound.

Oh cool, I'll watch those when I can later.

Man, brotherly love is always happenin' at the Org! (Yeah right, but in this case really nice offer Dan!)

Ah yes, the Playboy After Hours resurfaces. Not enough Ron on camera, but at least someone was caught dancing!

Amen.

Definitely a good one!

Can't help you on recordings, I've never heard any. I got spoiled in that the first five years or so of my stay here in Austin I would go see W. C. ("Windy City") and his band in small clubs and dance and listen and even talk to him a few times. As far as I can tell a really nice man. A great player and singer.

Amazing player! It's astonishing to realize how important he was to that sax section sound (which was a very distinctive section). And solo he was like no one else. I treasure the Bell Telephone Hour video I have of the Orchestra and he has a few reallly nice segments soloing on that.

I would be surprised if it is not compatible Tony. You could also always call Steve Deckert, the builder, he likes to talk and he KNOWS. I absolutely love their products. I'll keep buying them as long as funds allow and needs arise.

The ones I don't have are: • Robert Pozar • Joseph Scianni • Vincent Hill • Ed Curran • Marzette Watts Would like to have the others, especially the Watts, cuz I like the ESP so much.

Thanks for the headsup Ron.

Oh, I have the original Columbia cd as well. . .can't part with a sentimental favorite.

Started Joshua Berrett's "Louis Armstrong & Paul Whiteman: Two Kings of Jazz." Not bad.

Paul, I'm listening to the extra material on the cd right now. . . .Only fair, to answer your question with a new listen. YES! The material that is not just alternates of the album tracks seals the deal. Dmitry, I have the SACD too, but listen to the new cd more often.

My wife, in happier times, watched the first season, and I spend time with her and watched it. I actually enjoyed parts of it, especially watching John O'Hurley (think that's his name). Absolutely positively hated the host and the judges though. Squirmed my way through it all. After the first one my wife was no longer interested. . . I got lucky.

I just can't stay away from this one. It ensnares me. Just one of those I'll always have and always enjoy. The expanded cd is great too because. . . there's more. I know I have other Orbit brothers. . . .

Wow. It's darker than you think. RIP and thanks for all the hours.

Coolin' is a nice solid date. I've had several copies over the years. . . Lost one, and replaced it lately from www.dustygroove.com Some nice Sulieman!

He mostly posts at the All About Jazz forums; he prefers that place to this place. He's posted there in the last few days, and quite regularly.

Yes, Miles wanted Wayne long before this excursion with Sam. . . for all the right reasons it turns out. I really like the appearances with Sam. . .an interesting offshoot. Interesting to think that it might have lasted and Sam's playing would have had more limelight and been more influential. Hard to imagine that happening though! Miles in Berlin is solid. . . . .It's not my favorite of the work of this quintet by a longshot, but get it as a part of the box set and enjoy it. The bootlegged audience tape of the Paris date is good, but the sound quality makes it hard to enjoy.

You know, pretty amazing to think how the whole face of jazz would be different had Sam kept aht tenor chair! I hope that one day the estate releases official versions of the other two Japanese shows that exist in boot.

Someone who has an interest in your finances may have found a way to keep you out!

Okay, it doesn't say EQing. . . but I think Lasker has used EQing in his transfers in the past. I'm pretty positive of it.

Yes, DP 36. . . great stuff. But . . . I stop at '78. I have tried and tried and tried. .. I just don't get into Brent, either his playing or singing. Maybe one day. . . not bloody likely.

I'm suffering from guitar envy. . . .
