  1. I hear him occasionally on alto as well.
  2. Well, currently there are about 12 gallons of distilled water in the house, kept on hand because of the ten gallon salt water fish tank we have. . . . We buy about 15 at a time because we don't have a car so we get these in a cab every two months or so. Here's hoping that this is not as bad a storm as it possibly could be.
  3. Good recommendations from Harold and Ron!
  4. No one here in Austin seems worried yet. There's the big Austin City Liimits Festival this weekend, and as part of my job I inquired of ACL and the festival promoters what their plans were for rain out or Rita-effects and they literally drew a blank. "It's going to go on rain or shine" they said. Seems unlikely we'll get much here in the way of high winds but. . . I'll make enough space under Helen's great-grandmother's incredibly sturdy dining room table for Helen and Marge Bouvier Haggerty-Armstrong (our cat) and myself. . . . Bout the best I can do!
  5. Well, for me, to my great fiscal misfortune, the internet has been my main source for cds for about six years or more. I got all these cds on the internet. Anyone have this cd? Recommended if you like your Brazilian with a lot of twists.
  6. Just got this last night from cduniverse. So far, WOW. I really enjoy this. The sound is wonderful. I hadn't dug these sides out of the box set for a while, and they don't sound BAD there, but they're vivid here. The music has always been interesting, always something to find there, I even like Motian in this trio best of all his work that I've heard. A great price for these discs too.
  7. I don't have the Stuff, yet. I have the others. Why ask?
  8. Trane Monk, yes, I have almost all his other stuff. As I said, Jelly is important in my listening world, I'm fascinated by hi work. IF you don't usually like early trad jazz, this may not be a great choice for you. Then again, it's mostly piano and voice, and a history lesson or three. I don't know what to advise you. It's not a limited edition so you have plenty of time to think and sample and decide.
  9. UHHH!
  10. Ha! I am the leader of Booty and Da Ho Fish!
  11. Before my father decided to join the Peace Corps and take us to Addis Ababa, I was sceduled, in a few weeks, to go to Mastbaum High! How cool would that have been! Not that I would trade the five plus years in Africa I got instead!
  12. Former thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...opic=21195&st=0 Harold, this search function is weird, I barely get it to work for me, somehow I don't think right with its logic. What I do is go to the main forums page which has all the forums listed, and enter a search term in the box at the upper right. This works most of the time to pull up what I need. Also you can go to the individual forums and enter a search term in the box at the bottom. . .
  13. I agree with what Harold said. I have to have it! The preorder price is the best deal likely on this for some time, and even though I shouldn't have, I preordered the day I read about this set (here on this board). Jelly is really important in my musical world, and I'm eager to learn more about him and his music on this set.
  14. Also. . .it's still early to tell. . . . When released, amazon.com may change their text!
  15. This is a fantastic new release. . . as far as I can tell there is no copy control on the US copy. Certainly does not have that written anywhere on it, and it is copy-able.
  16. Yeah right!
  17. Herbie Nichols. . . the Mosaic set.

    I almost said Houston, I thought Dallas might have had a little bit of an edge, but that's just from this view. . . not an accurate one. San Antonio occasionally happens. Whole state is clearly lacking.
  19. Been on cd on Atlantic since 1989, two cd set.
  20. I've read some of Charles, not sure I've read that one. . . . Not sure it's what I need rigtht now! Probably better served by something like Kingsley Amis or Bulgakov or Pushkin!

    Dallas possibly has the most goin' on. . . and it ain't enough.
  22. No, I haven't heard anything but the trailer I've viewed online and what I've read has made me leary . . . and I'm not the biggest fan of the director, though i haven't seen much. But Keanu Reeves as Robert Arctor?
  23. Ah The Secret Agent. .. not an easy read but a good one. Haven't read that in so long! Rereading "A Scanner Darkly" by Philip K. Dick. Got to thinking about the upcoming movie. Hope it isn't truly abominable.

    Austin is THE music town if you are interested in white music with rock beats or country shuffles.

    Things are so different in different parts of the country because you NEVER see that around here. It's to the point I won't recommend something out of print to anyone in this town (and hesitate to anywhere) because very little shows up in this area.
