Yes, it's been remastered I think at least the credits are to McMaster for remastering and young Lundvall for the mastering.

You know I think I prefer the sound of the earlier cds to these new Select discs! But yes, I agree these are great performances, full of charm and swing and I like these. I keep a set of them at work and often pull them out. Some of my favorite later Dexter!

It IS a good record. . . Nice cover too.

Gosh. . . I'm afraid eventually they'll raise the cost of my monthly bus pass to higher than its current 10 dollar cost!

I've got a CBS cd of this group, and a Moon cd. Great band!

Just started rereading "The Divine Invasion" . . . Philip K. Dick. Time number 4 probably.

Thanks Flurin. I'll have to view "In the Mood for Love" one of these days. . . . I think the sort of Phil Dickian aspects of 2046 will satisfy me. . . .

Free For All, hey now you don't have to put your real name out there (Paul McCartney, right?) to get some respect around here! Jeff B, Africa Brass: by whatever name, I'm so thankful you're around!

Well, I got my 2 disc copy of 2046! Looks like a really interesting movie; watched a little bit of the "Making of" film on disc 2.

Wow, that looks great; I'll be looking forward to this one

It IS all about the clarinet! I think you'd dig the Gato, I listened to part of that this weekend, and the Charles Tylers are cool. . . .

No. . . But you can find most of them by looking at the offerings of the two major sellers of these. . . Missed your post in January!

OF COURSE IT DOESN"T!

Many More happy ones Mr. L!

Allan, Paula is a Brazilian singer who is a veteran of the music scene enjoying a contemporary upsurge of interest due to the collaborations she, Ryko Sakamoto, and Paulo Jobim have made in the last four years or so. With her husband Jacques (cellist and arranger and composer) she worked with Jobim in his final decade or so, in his wonderful "banda nova". . . I really love these recordings and she makes solid contributions. I really like her voice, and her "presence" . . . . This one seems to be a bit of a departure in that she is using synths and drum machines and scratchin' record apparently as a backdrop/accompaniment at least in part. Her hubby Jacques seems to be involved, which is a PLUS. I can DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THESE:

Probably same distributors in a different outlet. . . maybe not. . . doesn't matter. As you say, very good music at a great price!

This one is also available on yourmusic and I can highly recommend it without reservation: It has one draw back: it is too short. It doesn't go on for days!

Well, this is contemporary Brazilian music from a singer who is a Bossa Nova and beyond veteran. With her husband Jacques (cellist and arranger and composer) she worked with Jobim in his final decade or so, and has worked with others recreating Jobim's music over the last five years. I really like her voice, and her "presence" . . . . This one seems to be a bit of a departure in that she is using synths and drum machines and scratchin' record apparently as a backdrop/accompaniment at least in part. And I'm not sure if hubby is involved (if her husband IS involved that is a big plus). If you want to wait I promise to give a brief report in a week or so when I have it in hand.

Did a little order that included the new Paula Morelenbaum, which I didn't even know was released. . . . Looks "contemporary" with synths and drum machines but for five bucks I tried it! (I love Paula in Jobim's band and with her husband and Sakamoto).

Okay, Vignettes, and Excursions still seem available for $0.75 but 1-2-3-4 is now only available for the higher price of . . .$1.59.

Good job gentlemen! I think you filled it in. After that. . . you'll just grab up anything else you see!

Lifelong passion? I hadn't noticed. . .. Thanks for sharing those experiences!

Check out the Ray Drummond's on half.com. . . at least three titles on Arabesque that are good releases and available sealed for less than a dollar and shipping!

Somehow I was attuned to your opinion last night. .. I passed on the Bley and added the Burrell to an order with the next Duke Treasury Shows volume. . ..

Those are both good ones. (That stereo piece on that one Rockland always gasses me). It really is a horn of plenty. . . . Bird was so consistently brilliant that it's almost as if whatever you are listening to is your favorite! Or you pick favorites by his accompanists.
