There are lp downloads and single track downloads as well! http://www.sabadabada.com/music.htm

Fantastic record, yes indeed! Rest of the cd art is pretty good too!

Fantastic album with pretty interesting cover. . . .

Not one of my favorite lp covers, but fantastic lp!

But wait a minute! I'm more of a drummer. . . .

It's the GUITAR lover in me that likes this one a lot. . . .

Yes, I'll agree, but I didn't think that was even implied!

I love "Mingus Plays Piano" as well. It's one of the few recordings I've kept more than one "version" of. I sold the US Impulse version; I had before and still have the Mobile Fidelity silver version which sounds great and I have since bought a Japanese lp facimile 24 bit version that is quite quite nice. Just so intimate and so deep; it's riveting stuff.

Gee, they can sell popular cds about 10 times, and get 30% each time. . . doing the math they come out ahead. I sense record company lawyers hovering and ready to pounce however!

Yes, I wonder if they still have those undubbed tapes around. . .they did the SACD using the Mingus dubbed tape and I wish they hadn't!

No, it's not "jazzbo" bidding on this. Won't say I'm HAPPY with the Connoisseur, but I'm holding steady with it for now!

Okay. . . I confess. . .I used my intellectual battering ram!

Actually, that list looked to me like an appropriate one to chronicle the trumpet style that Arturo seems to really really dig. There are other trumpet styles. . . unrepresented. Maybe he should have added Mario Bauza and Doc Cheatam. The ringer in this list seems to me to be Bix. We would make a different list, each of us. I mean I don't personally feel that Lee Morgan and Booker Little contributed that much to the tradition. Some great music, yeah. But innnovations in trumpeting? Not to my way of looking at it.

Marty, as one Mingus nut to another, I agree entirely with your post above! I've been CHAMPIONING "East Coasting" for a long time. A truly special recording. And I see "Stormy Weather" trumpeted around a lot, hardly underappreciated. (Deservingly so, but I still like the Hadi-Knepper-Shaw band material a hair more for the denser front line and for the piano. . . . Me likey a piano with Mingus).

Sure looks purty.

I hope it was more a persuasive nudge than a knock! I'm really quite peaceful, really, I am. Really!

I feel better now! By the way, I think all the dates sound really good, and I may like the realistic sound of the first two discs, the only private recordings, as much or better!

Not yet. Soon. Will be worth whatever the wait.

What, Cary gets thanked and I don't? Scandalous! Anyway you're right, Chatelet is mispelled in the source document.

"A discussion at work." He's working on becoming the next "Apprentice". . . ?

Mercy, Mercy, Me--The Art, Loves and Demons of Marvin Gaye. Michael Eric Dawson. 'Salright.

A little bit of both. Gettin' my diploma in each in a few more decades.

The Greatest JAzz Concert in the World is very good, very varied.

Mrjazzman, your grandfather? BIG

Many more happy ones!
