A great resource I've been enjoying for seven years or so I think! The discography is very well done and was very helpful to me in regards the Chicago and NYC periods especially.

I really enjoy this Water Records reissue as well. Usual excellent production from Water, and this music is so fun; brings me back to my college days at UofC where many of the local Chicago bands that you might see at a bar or a party were playing a similar blend of musical influences, though none quite as tight and energizing as Baby Huey and the Baby Sitters!

Okay, my apologies, I pulled that off a webpage, the wrong name for Wayne's wife. I feel sad for him every time I think about his loss. I know how devestated I would be for a long time.

I like all the bands for their different aspects (and I'm a fan of tasty or slightly wild electric guitar so I like Lucas and Cosey for those respective reasons). I'm amazed at what stuff has turned up in the last few years of these bands; I once thought I had cornered everything that I knew about which was true for a while but now I have things to hunt for again and that's a good thing!

Sharkey, you're right, Sharkey!

Yeah, I'd like to see Phil Napolean and Wingy Manone Capitol twofers!

Which may mean he may have needed a bigger place!

Yes, that Coleman Hawkins dvd is very good. . . nice to have Lester on there. Thanks for the recap of all the Billie appearances.

No, I haven't had a chance. . .

Or Naima!

Okay, not what you asked. An alternate name though. . .Keiko, the certainly lady-like late wife of Wayne Shorter.

Yesterday, after discovering this weekend that my old lps of Chopin material are annoyingly worn, I ordered the following from yourmusic.com while things are still $4.99: Angela Hewitt: Chopin, Nocturnes Quantity: 1 Price: $9.98 Arthur Rubinstein: Chopin, Ballades & Scherzos (SACD Hybrid) Quantity: 1 Price: $4.99 Arthur Rubinstein: Chopin: Waltzes & Impromptus Quantity: 1 Price: $4.99 Arthur Rubinstein: Chopin, 51 Mazurkas Quantity: 1 Price: $9.98 Murray Perahia: Chopin, 24 Etudes (Expanded Edition) Quantity: 1 Price: $4.99

Let's see I bought the original cd, the JRVG. . . I'll certainly get this new Hope as well! B-) Hope fascinates me. That trio from the neighborhood, Monk, Powell and Hope, can't be beat!

There were a number of great trumpeters those days. Ruben Reeves always gasses me. Bubber. . . wow. Bubber was something else. I have all the Jabbo I've been able to find. Berigan came along and amazed. Jack Purvis. Johnny Dunn. Wingy Manone. I really enjoy the music of this time period. So fun and full of energy and life!

I hope they use the McLean, cuz I'm likely to like it more than their new idea. . . .

Yes, both the Miles box set and the queues seem to be restored. Spend away! (They were probably busy removing the metal spines from the box sets).

Glad I could find all the Chopin I needed earlier! They're trying to stop us all from saving that one dollar a disc the next few days!

Something IS funny. A lot of titles are not there any longer, from the Jack Johnson and Seven Steps boxes, to some Clapton and Traffic titles, etc.

I like it just fine. I like Mendes of this vintage and earlier. It's short and sweet!

Well, won't let me add to my list either. But did let me add to my cart. Added a whole bunch of Chopin before my 4.99 deal expired!

Weird. I went from 19 . . . to ONE. Ah well. Maybe they'll all show up on my porch in a big box!

I guess he got to Chicago some other way. . . .

It's not true. Red was recorded about the same time as Bix. . not years afterwards. And he had more professional band experience before he was recorded than Bix did. Influenced, yes, particularly phrasing. But a disciple? That is certainly not the word I would choose.

What's the old saying? "A stirred pot always boils?"

Claypone: yes
