You know, Katie Couric went to the same high school as my wife, one year behind her. As long as Elizabeth Vargas is still anchoring ABC that's the one I'll watch when I get home early enough!

My guess is they'll all be McMasters. . . maybe the Evans won't be, it might be Addey (just wishful thinking on my part though!)

Kevin, I hope you never have to go through this! Anyone! And how do you know I'm not falling completely apart? -_- I am a little bit but I have to be strong for Helen and that does fuel me. I do know that there is a community of support here, and I'm not asking for much at all, but just being able to come here and read and chat and enjoy so much friendship. THANKS. Now back to Connoisseur talk!

Many more! Many more!

Thanks mes amis. All positive thoughts are welcome. . . and needed.

Yup.

Mother Teresa was a "troll"?

I confess I've never heard Kenny's trumpet sound so good on cd!

Yes, the vinyl set was a partnership by Sue Mingus and Fred Cohen. I believe Fred still has copies for sale. Was not aware that Fred Cohen had anything to do with the Ulysse Musique releases. The Amsterdam concert albums (a double LP plus a single one' state they were 'produced for records by Ulysse Musique with the kind permission of Jazz Workshop Inc. and Susan Graham Mingus'. Ulysee was a French label that also issued a Cannonball Adderley concert. Great sets, yes! I have really nicely pressed cd versions on Ullysse. THANKS to the unreal generosity of an infrequent board member!

I think that DIW was a reissue of the Amsterdam concerts, which I have on Ullysses (sp?). Great sets!

Well, came back from Houston on Sunday and Quiet Kenny and The Hawk Relaxes were waiting there for me. Wow. They sound good. Wow. They sure are trying to capture the look and feel of the Blue Note series. Not a bad thing. I'll wait to see if yourmusic.com gets any of the others. . . maybe. . . or I'll order a few more soon.

I just use Word. . . a 4.78 inch square works really great for cover, and a 4.7 by 5.98 inch rectangle works well for back panels.

Thanks guys. I don't want to hijack the thread. We're doing the best we can. . . and there's some reason to be hopeful (not that we don't have to be anyway).

No, this visit was not voluntary. My wife is now a patient there.

uuuurrrrrrrrrrr. Guess mine will come Monday. Yup - came today. Listening to Disc 1 now. Smokin'. I am sitting here with a Grain Belt beer and disc 5. OMFG this is killer. C, glad you finally have this in hand!

Well, I've listened to all I can of this group. . .a n d I don't really HAVE an idea that one appearance is better than another. This is a really good one! They're all in my opinion really good ones, with or without Coles. GET IT IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT! If they made this a Concord RVG I'd buy it! (again)

Garcia was the leader?

They seem to me to be a tad more. . . Ellingtonian? maybe? They're nice!

Brian Priestley's notes to "The London Collection Volume Three" say: His association with CBS records, whose producer Teo Macero had worked with him sympathetically during much of the 1960s, had ended in mutual incomprehension. Doubtless under pressure from marketing and accountancy personnel, macero had teamed Monk with arranger/conductor Oliver Nelson, whose West Coast based studio band had destroyed the subtlety of Monk's music; and, in the absence of any new material from Thelonious himself, Macero had composed two facile Monk pastiches for the album. The next suggestion from CBS (whether via Macero is not clear) was that he record a selection of Beatles songs, a suggestion not taken up by Monk.

Joyeux Anniversaire!

Yeah, turns me off Nelson! Get this one though if you can find it!

Somebody needs to gather up all the live stuff they can find of Hope in the piano chair of Harold Land's group and put it out!

There were some covers designed for men to smile about too.

I also like those Francy Boland Orchestra lps on MPS. . . . And the Quartet lp.
