Dang, going to have to get me the last few Dick's Picks early next year. Yes, Doc Orc: thanks for the pointer to the Prankster/Acid Test material (and a big thanks to The Mule for burnin' 'em for me). I'm really glad to have those four discs!

Closest thing I came to was giving my exboss a cd (Andrew Hill, Judgment RVG) for Xmas to celebrate the fact that he is my EXBOSS. I have been able to be social with him since I was able to go to work for another manager, and I've enjoyed talking audio with him and getting him interested in jazz (Barney Wilen was in fact the entry point for him!) but. . . boy am I glad I don't have to work for him!

Any "new" Mary Lou would be a joy!

Elvin Jones discs one and two

Nice find Tali! I like this collage a lot: http://publicity.rounder.com/images/morton...th_Vignette.jpg Man, I still cringe listening to Jelly on these discs. . . not sound I can ease in to, too scrubbed, but boy is it great to experience as far as education and entertainment!

The latest "Jazzbeat" from George H. Buck. .. with Butterbeans and Susie on the cover.

But. . . it wasn't Fathead's date. .. seems natural to me. Been listening to a lot of Ray Charles lately. . . Fathead and Hank and Marcus et al just playing their asses off!

No, because my wife is not likely to be feeling too well at Xmas, we had ours already. I got a dvd recorder. . . I'm making a burn of a Miles appearance on vhs right now! I like that Steppin' Out thread. . . mine is the earlier version. . . going to have pull that out and listen soon.

She plays beautiful piano too.

Marian is such a wonderful host and her show yields many great musical moments and bits of knowledge that are wonderful to hear. Long may she continue!

There were at least four. . . that may have been all there were. . . I can't seem to get the exact number from my memory. There were some volumes with six or more discs within. . . lot of music!

I like the Gordon Parks collaboration a bit more than the live at the Blue Note.

Yes, I found out this had come out. I'll pick it up after the holidays I think.

I heard there's a hidden track where Chuck Berry plays tenor.

I have the Mayfield Sextet. Sound is excellent. Performance is. . . okay to good.

Wow! This thing might actually ship this weekend or next week!

In my opinion Rudy's remasering of the Monk, Jackson, Davis et al disc and tape material he did not record is the best sounding cds of the material.

I tried on 50 before you a few months and it's okay. But word to the wise: be sure your wife gets her medical checkups! Happy Birthday!

Yeah. . . "Sunshine Daydream". . . I finally got to see that thanks to a kind gentleman. Those early film pieces of the Dead from "Acid Test" era are very cool!

Velma in way over her head? You seriously underestimate the woman. Pops didn't!

Hmmm. . . I love Velma Middleton as well. . . but I don't see a connection otherwise!

L, thanks for the description. I love those guys. Thank goodness RW is still with us giving his all!

Cool Matthew. . . .Though I had the opposite reaction. . . the ten cd set has made me warm even more to Pigpen!

I noticed that Dusty Groove got it in. .. (I didn't order it, I'm broke!) and they also had all four boxes of Jazz in Paris this weekend at 19.99!

Man, I've never seen that four cd set, I tried to find it for a long time, but it came out when the Davis estate was really clamping down on imports of Davis concerts. I did get all four discs separately in the excellent Sony/Trema digipak series of these concerts. Sounded better than other Europe 1 cds I had too. If you can find those they're very nice (even though their cover photos are a bit whack on a few).
