I haven't compared any of the Harris lps to cds on Xanadu, but when I HAVE compared Xanadu lps to Xanadu cds. . . the lps won.

I've got them all myself Guy, but would like to see them available again in US editions. Helen deserves the treatment!

Right, but they don't seem to be available now, at least not through regular distributors.

I advised paypal that it was best for them to "get it while you can"!

Hans, I got an email confirmation from paypal right away. . . .

It would be easy to do as TOCJ released this as a "club" item a few years ago. . . it's "digitized." Also, I believe that several tracks are appearing as extras on the new Water release by Roy Ayers. . . .

I preordered the Ray Nance. I have to have Ray Nance cds. I passed on the Ayers. I have the lp, I have the Vi Redd lp that the bonus material is from. . . .

Did you look HERE for the release info? http://www.mighty-quinn.net/Home.html Select Future Projects You can email info@mighty-quinn.net

I like the one Evan (cooked up?) offered up!

I'm not worried. I can outrun him, for short distances at least, and that's all either of us can handle. . . .

Jim, yes those Merrills are out of print again. . . good call. . . . Great material.

Many more happy ones! Many more naked ladies! (Ritas without salt that is).

Fascinating! Great!

Oh yeah, I don't like Miles Davis' art. But don't tell him. . . .

Man, I love Pee Wee Russell's clarinet playing . . . with a passion. But I dislike his art. I'm a George Wettling fan though, drumming AND art!

She played quite well on a recent Jazz at Lincoln Center broadcast of Randy Weston performing his "Ancient Futures" suite (in my opinon).

I cranked up Airto's "Homeless" yesterday while doing chores. It was great fun. Sort of in a genre of its own. . . whacky zany stuff. Some of the beats sound sort of like what some people do with drum machines. . . but it was no machine!

I missed this thread originally but learned about the site last week when it was written up in the NYT. Anyway, if you search by B.B. King, there's a two-song Playboy After Dark appearance. Best of all, my audio software allowed me to record the download as it played, so I added it to a compilation disc I've made of rarely heard/seen B.B.

Well, I kindof disagree, I really really enjoy that "looseness" of a lot of the Ellington band recordings --- I don't really feel it is "inferior". . . . It often adds a certain swing and, a bit of extra creativity to the soloists.

I think this is an okay price on a great box set! It is/was expensive new. I have actually been revisiting this set. I love the performances here, and there are some items rarely performed elsewhere on this set. Also, there is some great playing by then guests to the band Nance and (yes) Webster. And the Ella material is strong. The rehearsal disc is also quite fascinating. If you happen to be big on Ellington this is a set unlike others.

Personal Admission Of Guilt Pt. 2: I've always kinda dug it. Personal admission of guilt #3: I have never seen or heard of this one!

As Chuck mentioned elsewhere on another yourmusic thread, I'm finding I like this a lot more than the last few times I listened to the previous version I had of this. Nice Woody, nice Kenny, just plain nices stuff. One of the Ervins I like the most.
