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.

My father has a wind up Victrola, big cabinet, that was his father's. Man, 78s sound fun on that!

I'll bet they sound great on that Silvertone!

Yes, shamed to say I have. . . . Listening to one right now. . . The Cosmic Scene (the RSD cdr edition) --- remastered from lp by the excellent engineer Robert Shawn Dudley.

Shoes?

CDR trick? What might that be. . . .

I got shit and shinola. . . sometimes get them confused.

I love the music on this set. I'm the kind of guy who wants ALL of the hot jazz on Blue Note. But for many this may be all they need. Well selected, great booklet.

Hmmm. . . maybe. I still think "Summer Dawn" on Argo is worth mentioning; it really holds sequenced as it is.

20 bucks? GO FOR IT.

Michael, Sony, please do this one right, include the original art and the mono/stereo alternate versions? I seriously love this one.
