I got Volume Two tonight as well. Looks great! THANKS!

I'm enjoying this. I steered clear for a while because of some bad PR but I think it's cool! Now I just need to find a copy of "30 Seconds Over Winterland". . . that I can afford.

Many more happy ones Laton!

Sellout? Not really. . . just enjoying and being open? Muddleheaded? NOT ON THIS BOARD. Thanks for sharing "new directions in music."

Enemy record label seems to have gone away!

"Truth, Justice and the UPCOMING ELECTIONS!"

SOSDE! (Same Old Shit, Different Edition!)

This album and its sister album have been discussed at length recently on the board.

NO, no Hamilton Beach Scovill!

Great photos!

Actually, I had the opportunity to listen this afternoon. Still no-go for me on the Limbo jazz, but there is some lovely playing on the album. Hawk on 'Mood Indigo' more than makes up for the Limbo stuff, I guess. But boy, that Limbo riff is going to be stuck in my head the rest of the day

Actually, Diz does break new ground with Bossa Nova here in this set, only the sessions weren't released until after others got bossa nova out there and made a name of it. . . . He also fuses some carribean style material into his small group jazz conception which I don't think was often done before him . . . . Some really cool albums amongst those in this set.

"Limbo Jazz" is the one everyone loves! Give it another shot. . . it's all good.

My friend received his set Tuesday night and is ecstatic about it. He had a lot of this on cd and lp and he says the sound is fantastic, the booklet is great, and he wasn't even upset that one whole corner of the box was crushed by the shipper. I was a bit upset about that, but Mosaic is of course mailing him a replacement. Can't beat their service.

I'm gonna skip it. Never really liked the Reeves movies, I'm not a big Superman fan. Looks like one to miss. People tell me plot elements of this that seem really lame. I have been missing movies all summer for logistic reasons so this one will be just one of many I'll miss.

I remember watching a few episodes as they aired on PBS here and enjoying them. The books. I LOVE the books by Graves.

Soon thou mayest perforce change thine avatar and moniker:

I'm not sure OJC COULD release that Mingus these days. It has been a Japanese cd (slightly truncated).

Probably a pair of slippers the lp photographer rounded up somewhere!

Good gosh! You're so old now a "brewery day" is not a good idea! Beware of premature aging! Many many more happy ones!

Must be two versions out there. . . since it is a compilation album in large part I guess that is not surprising. Here's a page about the two disc version: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005A1G...v=glance&n=5174

There are SO MANY .. . really Hodges in any Ellington situation was remarkably consistently great. Favorites of mine are the Columbia labels and the RCA small group sides. Killer stuff for all concerned. And I really like the use of Hodges in "Anatomy of a Murder" and "Such Suite Thunder." Great writing that is wonderfully executed by Der Rabbit.

I've got quite a bit of her output, and these releasess are consistently good. I don't really have a favorite!

it's good that you bring her up - she must already feel like Dewey Redman with her daughter being discussed here all the time... (Monday Michiru is her (and Mariano's) daughter, or am I making this up (?)) You got that right. .. but I kindof doubt she's reading our discussions here!

Okay the J5 stuff is going to start kicking my ass. I'm enjoying it. I'll be spinning it more this week. First time through Helen and I sat around and then sort of twitched around listening and we BOTH dug it. Some cool stuff going on there! (And Monday too!)
