I would be very very very very very surprised if you even entertain a second thought after hearing the first few discs. . . .

This IS an excellent album. Recommended!

. . . and the former cds are cheaper than the K2 and SACD hybrids!

Weird, because most of the characters in PKD's work really resonate realistically with me!

Jacques and Paula Morelenbaum (husband and wife) are seasoned Brazilian musical veterans. Among other projects, they spent several years in Tom Jobim's "Banda Nova" and have worked with many other Brazilian artists. Jacques' cello playing is excellent, and he has done wonderful arrangements and orchestrations for many albums and movies. The couple worked in a project with Jobim's son called "Quarteto Jobim" and then connected up with Japanese pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto to record and perform Jobim music, and the two official releases that are available in America, "Casa" (recorded in Jobim's studio in his house!) and "A Day in New York" are beautiful cds. The latter is available from yourmusic.com and I think you'd like it.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I don't have a car though, and I ride the bus, and get about 40 minutes or more a day guaranteed that way. Usuall get another half an hour to an hour a day in as well before work and after work. But I mostly read nonfiction the last decade or so. . . .

Yeah Lem, Brunner, Sturgeon. . . all good 'uns! I prefer novels to short stories myself.

Peter, I don't believe that the cd layer on the Gil Evans hybrid is a K2 remastering, but it is a great sounding new mastering, it's not just the former (mono) cd remastering. Excellent disc!

YES. This and "Three for Shepp" on Impulse.

They just appear to have added Billie Holiday "The Ultimate Collection" . . . two cds and a dvd for the club price of two cds.

Philip K. Dick got me interested in SF back in 1966 and he remains the writer I reread . . . . . Though it's not the science fiction but the human nature insights and philosophical and religious and political insights I read him for. . . . I haven't followed the genre for a long time! Last thing I remember waiting to come out in order to read was the final installment of the Fredrich Pohl "Gateway" series, or maybe the last installment of John Varley's "Gaea" series.

Robert, Thanks for clarifying. It's a great set, it will be in stock for some time, so I feel confident you'll have one sooner or later!

Yes. These earliest sessions are amazing.

I wasn't trying to be harsh. I just wasn't clear whether he realized it was in print. I could see that if one didn't frequent the webpages one might wonder about sets.

It's still WAY in print from www.mosaicrecords.com

If you haven't gotten it already, "A Day in New York" from Morelenbaum2Sakamoto is fantastic for summer listening!

Fantastic, I'm very happy for you!

June's Got Rythmn is excellent; I have a TOCJ and really dig it. Very excited about Domination; my lp is not primo. And unreleased Cannon? I'm happy! Jazzcat, I dig Kenton, just finished listning to "Viva Kenton." I need still more. . . .

My favorite Jazz Casuals are the ones with Rushing, Basie, Pops and Cannon. . . of those I've seen those ara topnotch! There is better Pepper out there. . .for sure !

I'll buy it. . . and I only have to walk about 500 feet to do so!

I always celebrate the August 4th birtday. . . . But I'll play some Armstrong today for sure!

I hope all is well also.

Me too!

I'm looking forward to the Eddie Condon as well, because it's a great lp and it will have extra material!
