Porcy, see if you can sell that locally. . . . Tony, amazing score! Congratulations! The Commodores will have you very pleased I know.

Thanks, but I'm challenged when it comes to "streaming" at the moment. . . and for the near future. Thanks for the date of the one I'm missing, from June 1975.

Alright! Then there is one other one that I haven't yet found! Anyone know if it is out?

Ordered the Grateful Dead movie and soundtrack cds combo. . . . I'm in trouble!

I like the Chronogical Classics I have, the bad thing being that they overlap with the King Jazz material I have in three other forms! I totally dig the Jazzology releases of the older stuff, Jazz Record Story, Trios and Quartets, Apex Blues. . . .The Delmarks are also great. I ran across some lps that are out of print that are really nice solo piano on Euphoria; one has Hodes doing "Watermelon Man" and I love it! I'm a big Hodes fan. . . I still have some more to get but I'm slowly doing so, because I don't want to be at the end one day, and I am savoring them slowly. . . .

Hope it was a great one!

Well apparently the title piece/suite was only played live three times, and none seem to appear in the Dick's Picks series. . . there's the one on the box set, and the one on One from the Vault, and another from August 1975 I think that I haven't located yet. . . .

I'm solidly in the RVG camp.

No I guess "Indigoes" isn't obscure, but it is rarely talked of, and in a way the original lp may be a bit obscure as the cd release had differences. . . . I love it. Wish they would redo it or Mobile Fidelity would lease it or some such.

Yes, it's really there. Won't surprise Harold to find I'm a George Lewis fan. I really like that band. I wish that Mosaic would do a Verve set . . . Really nice stuff nicely recorded. And just last week I dug out my Dragon cd of Lewis in Sweden and really enjoyed the heck out of it! Harold's right, this is different from Chicago style and sure isn't Hollywood dixie or businessman's bounce mediocre material, but vital and expressive music in the old New Orleans tradition. And luckily. . . there's lots of material got recorded by George and his clarinet!

I like the bonus disk, especially the first half, which is a live Weather Report Suite and about 30 minutes of live Blues for Allah. . . .

There's a Vernon label that issues Teagarden material! (Makes sense since he's the pride and jy of Vernon, Texas.) Live at the Plaza has been out in Japan, A Drum is a Woman has been out in France and maybe Japan, and I think Bal Masque has been out on cd from France. . . . Not sure the Hodges have been out. Theyre probably among his weakest, but still cool.

Yes, I agree. First time I heard that whack stuff on Live/Evil with the electic piano and whistling the intrigue began. . . .

'S gonna be a good one!

I haven't gotten to that disc yet. . . hopefully mine won't skip. (Skips are often player dependent!)

Ah go see "I Heart Huckabees" instead!

My four cents: This one he wrote and arranged and produced the music of and I love it: This one is odd but really good: He makes very important contributions to these classics:

Hope it was great!

Hope it was a fantastic day Brownie!

Many many more happy ones!

Enjoy yourself Chris!

Well, I have the box set in da house now. Must say: remastered sound is excellent, very very good, so much better than the earlier cds. And there is almost exactly half as much bonus material I think, which is well chosen. So far the biggest rush for me is hearing the acoustic demo of "Weather Report Suite" done by Weir and his 12 string (?) alone. Man oh man. That suite is my favorite music of the Dead, period, (I don't think this has anything at all to do with Wayne or the WR band, and is all the better for it) and to hear this seminal recording is a thrill!

Jim, thanks for putting that out there in the thread. YOU KNOW DA SAXOPHONE. Me, I don't know the saxophone at all, but I do know one thing from just listening over the years: Albert Ayler was one monster saxophonist!

Yes, tightrope walker, that's me! Essentially, Xmas dollars that I'll get as gifts will cover this or some other reckless cd purchase!

My closest friends it turns out share with me a reversion to televised sports, and watching sports in general. Playing is one thing, perfectly respected among us. Having to pay extra on all sorts of things we purchase to fund advertising and promotion for televised sports rankles us! Otherwise my friends have a variety of interests, there's almost always something shared and much that is not. I have many friends, a few close friends, and am ultimately quite an introvert (as my wife is). I'm a professional extrovert by trade, I have a lot of friends and make friends easily (I think it's all about RESPECT) and yet I have always had an intimate life with only a few friends in my lifetime.
