Deus, those are cool too! You are the jewel tone visionary of color on covers!

Now where did I put that Boney James cd. . . .

No kidding, unreleased Andrew Hill? Topples almost ANYONE's resolve!

Yes, I'm excited, I preordered mine on February 4! Leo and FRANKIE!

I think rather than Holmes that McDuff was meant. . . .

Pretty darned good work too Jeff! Dang I wish those would be reissued!

It's the "Original Below the Mason-Dixon Line SERIOUS MOFO Jazz Band." I think their hit song was "No Reason to Smile."

John:

"Outfitted like Jean Harlow herself, soprano Eilana Lappalainen turns heads in 'Lulu.'"

Yeah cut that out! It's even tempting me to order the Moncur! Nah, not really! But a few others, yes. I haven't bought a number of these because I have the material elsewhere; don't have the Chambers Select.

John:

Yes, it was "Chiles'" and for a large period part-owned by Max Roach. (All the time?)

I can't choose! And if I could, I might have chosen an "other"! I'm in love with Monk's music.

Yes Jim, it was a trading site that represented a coterie of Miles completist nuts who put out trees of material linked by a theme. . . A date or a particular band or a particular place, etc.

Well, Reid was cool and all, but he's not the be all and end all for ME. I like what deus and John are doing a LOT. A LOT. They don't have to ask what anyone is doing, their following their muse!

A tiny bit of news: I talked with one of the two heavies in the miles-tree org and he says that fallout from some flaming wars on miles-list (whatever dat is) were going in directions that the two partners felt were calling undue attention to the site and possibly exposing them to fiscal and legal danger. Bottom line was they wanted to do this as long as it was indeed fun, and the fun had fizzled out. I wouldn't expect to see a return of the site in the near future.

Just ordered three BYG cds. . . one from Silva, one from Redman, one from Murray (Sunny). . . .

Well, those sessions DID have commercial potential . . . for alienated white loners who were turned on by electric Miles and looking for whatever we could find in that vein. . . All 22 of us. . . . Hmmmm. . . .yeah, no commercial potential really. But good productions!

Oh artsy fartsy! That explains a LOT!

what's not satisfying John? Looks wonderful to ME!

I like that one a lot! Very vintage Verve lookin'!

Not likely that the mono is a fold-down of the two stereo tracks; Van Gelder most often (apparently) ran a mono tape on 7-1/2 ips for producer and/or musicians to take out of the studio, and this would be engineered separately from the stereo I believe on a different deck. I don't have the SACD, but I'm sitting here wondering why!

Personally I consider "Violin Session" essential, but I WOULD bieng a Ray Nance and a Sven Asmussen fan!
