The tape I have of Monk on Allen is pretty decrepit. Haven't heard it in a while. . . I remember it as very arranged, not really a place for the tenor to stand out. . . .

I really like the "Winner's Circle" material. . . with and without Trane.

Many believe the Mobley is really the Teo.

I'm a fan of all Bud. I like the Verves a lot. . . the RCAs a mite less but really need to revisit them. (Really need to be in the same city with my collection!)

The version on the two cd set of Perception recordings ("Matrix") is quite listenable.

Nice price. . . but . . .it's not a Conn, right?

I've heard nothing but good things about them. Though I'm stuck on Decware products and probably will buy from them until I learn how to build my own (one quasi retirement plan).

The new Selects and Singles seem to be a bit delayed and shipping now through next week. . . . I imagine once those have been received and sent out and settled in we'll hear about the Ellington. Doesn't hurt my feelings if they delay a little . . . .

I'm all over the map. . . cduniverse. . . yourmusic. . . half.com. . . amazon markeptlace. . .bricks and mortars. . .private individuals. . . . I chose the final option.

Yes, her mom sang for a brief period with Ellington. In fact, though no relation, before she married Nat she was Marie Ellington.

I think she's really cute. Oh. And she can SING. I remember her from the seventies. I had a girlfriend who had her recoreds. She was reallly cute.

Transfer is more than fine, and I like the music. (Electric pianos hold no fear for me; love to play them!)

Apparently Jerry just put so much into that album and I think was mystified it got so little talk and play. I doubt he ever put as much into an album again!

Oh yes. . . so beautiful. . . and I don't just mean Donna!

Yes, and one of my favorite seventies Garcia tunes, "Gomorrah." You can take the Bible out of the Belt, but you can't take memories of the Bible belt out of this boy. . . .

No shame. . . it's just that one is tricky. . . it doesn't reveal it's charms too easily. And it may be that the charms are for the cognoscenti. . .that is if you know Duke well and if you know Pops well this is a hoot. Full of little moments. To me to hear Pops singing "Azalea" is a delight! But that's because it's just a song I like and I know other versions and Pops sortof does what he does and transforms it so subtly. Things like that make this a really great session for me, but I can imagine that to someone with less familiar ears it may not mean that much.

There is a previous thread or two about this, and I don't remember all the details except that no Vol. 2 is planned. . . that the material that would compose it was not compelling enough and/or the best was released recently elsewhere.

Snotty opinion seconded. "Mission in the Rain"? I like it. I like "Cats Under the Stars" a LOT too.

What PigPen fans? This is a Vince board. Go on home, your mama's calling you. Okay Mom, I'm coming. I was just hanging out with the Welnick boys. You know they never get into trouble. . . .

Some nice covers for those few Pigpen fans. . . . http://www.wulfware.de/covers/Index3/GD690613.htm http://www.wulfware.de/covers/Index3/GD690614.htm Nice shows too. 6/13 Fresno has some electric piano from Pig! 6/14 is like a triple decker Turn on your Love Light sammich!

I have compared the sound on the Pullen and Gordon Selects to the original cds. . . and actually prefer the original cds. By a hair. Not much difference, the new cds sound "thinner."

I used to own that.... wow. . . you should try that one again sometime.

Thanks for the words about my wife and my life this year. . . .It's possible that my wife will be discharged from the hospital TODAY after 37 days in the hospital for a bone marrow transplant. . . we'll have to be here in Houston a few more weeks at least, but I'll be glad to not spend 12 hour days in the hospital with her and to have her more comfortably back at the "studio suite." I've never heard any Grados. People rave about them. . .but people rave about everything. . . there's so much subjective reaction and reporting, and ultimately "one likes what one likes."
