PS: I sent you an email through the board recently re: another matter. . . ja get it?

I'm glad you guess that's cool!

I haven't gotten these RVGs yet, but Ron, whatever you do, DO NOT listen to the Smell-o-Vision version of "A Night in Tunisia" without several open windows! By the end of that track the band is RIPE!

Keep 'em comin' K!

I want to wish you all the best as well, and many happy returns!

I found that thread by accident a few months ago. I haven't had a lot of time to explore it but what a treasure trove! Someone really does collect these in a way that some of us collect jazz!

Brad, I can understand you not liking it and me liking it; there are a number of instances I've noticed you dislike something I do, there you go, nothing wrong with that. There's room enough for what you like and for what I like to be offered for sale. For me it WORKS in a good time New Orleans way. AND I DO think a lot of Blue Notes all through the history of the label were built on a formula: the small group swing formula, the bop and hardbop quintet formula, the soul jazz formula, the organ trio formula. . . . That's cool, but I get TIRED of the formulas more often these days, and something like this release is a nice breath of fresh air.

Pie! Strawberry rhubarb! Blueberry! Pecan! Peach! Apple! Frito pie!

Looks like a fantastic book! Thanks for sharing.

That Fats Centennial is GREAT. My next one is Dylan's "New Morning." Been on a kick of this period Dylan lately and dug out my lp and it's non beuno. . .

I like the McDuff too, I find ti more New Orleans funk than rock, and it's different. I've gotten to the point that I really appreciate Blue Notes that are DIFFERENT than the formulaic norm.

I wish I had a dollar for everytime that "Sweet and Lovely" OR "Come Rain or Shine" pops into my head and makes me whistle a bit.

A longstanding Dutch singer. Her website: http://www.geocities.com/ritareys/ Fontana put that session with Bu out on cd about eight or so years ago. . . interesting.

That Joplin box set is da bomb.

I met Donald once and really enjoy his book. So sorry to read the story about Linda, thanks for sharing Chris.

I didn't even look at the list, sorry. It was the only Audioquest cd I had so I knew it was "out there." It's pretty good, interesting, need to dig it out again.

Is that all? Some people are so easily confused! That's the one!

Half.com shows this as being a 1989 Denon cd, looks good (they don't have it in stock). I've never heard it. Song List 1. Don't You Know I Care 2. Caravan 3. Day Dream 4. Satin Doll 5. I Got It Bad And That Ain't Good 6. Prelude To A Kiss Album Notes Personnel: Archie Shepp (tenor & soprano saxophones), Walter Davis (piano), Earl May (bass), Philly Joe Jones (drums).

Sumbitch should stick to Jobim!

I thought it was about G W. . . don't know why.

Hmmm. . . I wonder if I would be content to stay in LA and do film scoring? I guess regarding the Newton I should have said "It's trippy." Much clearer, right?

Welcome! Glad to have you here and please stay!

Hey how did I get involved in this? I maintain: You can call me Lon, and you can call me Lonnie, but you don't have to call me Lonson! (Isn't that sort of how it goes?)

Hey, I sort of wish I could have waited and gotten the set for anywhere near what you did; I think I paid 90 or more!
