I would have gone the "Verve Vault" route, where the digital clone of the Japanese cd is available: http://www.vervemusicgroup.com/product.asp...c=srs&pid=11268 Some nice new additions to the Vault! The Jazztet and John Lewis... Jazztet and John Lewis Jazz Abroad Roy Haynes and Quincy Jones Dream of You Helen Merrill Selected Favorites Harmonicats Terry Gibbs Terry Gibbs On The Chicago Scene Max Roach Inter-Action Sonny Stitt & Zoot Sims Gettin' Down To It James Brown Verve Records

Source could also have been the POCJ cd from Japan. . . . That series of cds has excellent sound.

Rupert, no you got all there is.

I've been buying the snap in center trays that convert a regular jewel case to a slimline double. I have very few fat doubles any longer. . . onlly those that the booklets require the space. Get all my case supplies from www.am-dig.com

I really like her playing. She was really something. I bet someone buys them and I can understand people collecting this sort of thing. I'd rather have the photo. . . .

Many more happy ones Mike!

Pigpen's organ at a rehearsal.

It was that close. . . Ron McKernan. . . or Clint Eastwood. . . spaghetti Westerns. . . . Clint got the parts and Ron was never the same. . . .

I think, somewhere in this picture, is a guy who's in a rock band. . . somewhere. . . .

Casting call for the part of "Cousin It". . . .

Inches away from a Jerry beard. . . .

Sound is fine. Typically good period source material, remastering soudning a lot like the Dawn material on the same label.

Yes. I like his work from the beginning on. . . haven't heard anything nineties forward. My mom's copy of "Time Further Out" was a big reason I became a jazz fan eventually and also eventually a drummer. I have some records he did with Marian McPartland for Regent or Savoy . . . . He was great before Brubeck but he really blossomed in that band. Amazingly musical player.

I have one sideman appearance on a Rearward cd. . . I hear a strong Coltrane influence there.

There have been several discussions of this set. . . here's one. http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...wtopic=20352&hl

I just don't see Cannon jumping tracks to play the funky music of the late sixties and seventies. . . . It seems to me to be just a continuation of the music he had always been playing in many ways. To me it seemed he'd always sort of been dipping toes nto the many differnt pools of music that his black audience would soak in, and he continued to do that in the Capitol period. Seems to me as Jim says above the variety was there seeping in from the beginning of the leader dates and the tendency just flowered. On my desert island I'd like to have say . . .as many of the Savoy sides as I could squeeze in, especially perhaps the Kenny Clarke led ones. . .. Cannonball's Sharp Shooters. . . Them Dirty Blues. . . Live in New York. . . Live at the Club . . .Plays Zawinul (really, this is a great compilation). . .Money in the Pocket (ditto). . . Black Messiah. . . . maybe even Lovers. . .. Man it's hard to limit myself, I just rotate all my Cannonball quite often. He's always both stimulating and soothing for me.

I just don't find anything Cannon has done "boring." There's lots of music that bores me, but his work isn't amongst them. It's a personal thing I guess!

Listenin' to the "Tex Book Tenor" release right now. Been so long since I heard that half of the double lp "Back from the Gig." This is a really good date in my opinion, one of my favorite Bookers with excellent Woody and Kenny Barron. If I toe out my speakers enough the McMaster sound doesn't overwhelm me! Still don't like the title though. Sheesh.

I have heard the sermon and it resonates within. Up with people! I love Cannon.

Yeah, I think Duke did great things in this band. Shoot, I even remember some of the "Dukey-Stick" stuff fondly!

That easy to find old stuff? Try "MOTOWN"

How about Nat Cole backed by the Oscar Peterson Trio and Coleman Hawkins!
