I bought that one the minute I read, on this board, that yourmusic had it! What a great reissue (for five bucks!) I also have a twofer European copy that has Seashells on it. . . but I wanted to have this remastered version; both sound really good but it is nice to have as a single. I love the original session; the second session is very good but the first session KILLS.

The "Rat" is a thread here on the board that was begun as a thread about the album "The Funny Rat" and has become an avant garde music thread that keeps going and going and going.

I agree, terrific sound, great sound stage and presence of the instruments. I like the disc a LOT.

Thanks for reporting that. In the last few minutes of the disc mine stops and then starts and then stops and then starts then won't play through to the end. A manufacturing defect I suppose. I have to play it on all my burners and players and see if it works on any. I so far have only played it on my Decware modified (tubed output stage added taken off the DAC chip) Sony 685 player; this machine however usually plays everything.

The bulk of these are drawn from the "Jazz in Paris" series of cds from Gitanes (Universal), arranged around a theme for the sets. There is reported to be a few, A FEW, tracks that did not appear in the "Jazz in Paris" series, but I for one don't know what those tracks are. There is going to be predominantly studio but some live tracks here from an assortment of musicians both French, from other European countries, and Americans.

I don't know what section Tarantino guest directed either. .. . If I could guess I would guess the sequence with Dwight and a dead Jack Rafferty on the way to the Tar Pits and maybe into the Tar Pits? Just a guess!

No, mine is definitely defective. It stops and then starts and then stops and then starts. A manufacturing defect. I'll send it back after I've determined it does this on all my machines. (So far I've only tried it in my Sony universal player that is modified to have a tubed output; this machine generally plays everything so it probably behaves the same way in my other players, but I haven't verified that.) I totally dig this disc otherwise! Thanks for weighing in!

Wow! I couldn't have had a more different reaction. . . well yes, I could. I didn't LOVE the movie, I just thought it was fascinating; the technical reproduction of the comic book world was amazing. I saw it again this weekend with another friend who talked me into going. I reveled in the scenes with Rosario Dawson (Gail). She's a stunning woman!

Maigret eh? I can't imagine watching a British version of Maigret, but the Simenon novels are wonderful (actually, ALL Simenon is worth reading in my opinion, or rather all that I've read, I'm trying to read it all!)

I watched "Rush Hour 2" again (first time was in the theater) this weekend as part of my Ziyi Zhang kick! It was a lot of fun.

Anybody else have problems with the final cut on "Black Gypsy"? Mine is defective. Guess I'll send it back. .. .

"Oh Yeah" is one of the two Epic lps. That and half the other is collected on the Columbia cd "Unsung Hero". . . . I recommend this cd! I also like his work as coleader of Les Jazz Modes, though it's a bit different!

His Epic stuff is wonderful. I'm a fan. I love the It Club recordings. . .they're pretty solid representations of his work with Monk and something to be proud of!

Lennon the Limey is one of my favorite Bugs. I hate the walrus.

Looks like a terrorist to me! Blue alert!

Happy Birthday Mr. Evan-ident!

I agree, it's a gem!

I would get the new one. Better presentation visually: pictures, picture card in the center, etc.

Gitte was so cute! Though one side of my family was "Henning" so I better cool my jets.

Damn! I wish Masters of Jazz were still around Uncle Clem!

The Japanese "Night Dreamer" JRVG from a few years back was much prefered by me to the McMaster. Weird. I haven't heard the new one yet.

Does a few sideman appearances here and there around that time. I know he appeared on at least one of the two Charlie Rouse Epic lps on piano.

I'm going from memory of a few weeks back. . . he may, but it isn't often and predominantly!
