You're on to something. I think for example that Buckshot LeFunque is not a better player than Cannonball Adderley. And the Verve Jimmy Smith is just as good a player as the Blue Note Jimmy Smith. Course that's just my opinion. . . .

Yes, plenty of police with nightsticks in our town. Aren't they all over?

Wish the Conns were . . . RVGs. I'm looking forward to the Hill and the Hutcherson! (Like both these sessions a lot!)

Mike part of that session DOES sound like Miles at Columbia to me about as much as it sounds like Cannon at the time, it's sort of a fusion of their styles to me. However you hear it is fine with ME, that's sort of how I've come to hear it.

I view Miles as a sort of coleader at least on Cannon's Blue Note.

Yes they are. I like Neil Clarke, Rebop Kwaku Baah, Mtume, and quite a few dozen others! These guys I think are MUSICAL, I like conga players that are really adding to the music, when it isn't music that is traditionally conga-centric. Mongo was something else! Perez too!

You're right; I have the combined cd with the missing material, and not the other. I don't think that sonically there will be much difference, so I would look for the first, complete cd. . .

Gulp. . . I think I paid about 420 for mine. . . . One plus that saves money: it uses regular pc/data cdrs, not "Audio" for audio transfers. . . . (though those can be used too).

That's the HHB I have. Great burner!

It sure is Larry, it sure is. .. I've been thinking of getting the SACD.

In my opinion the RVGs of the Monk material (that includes the two under Monk's name and the one under Milt Jackson's) are much better sounding than those in the box set. I wish they would RVG the live session with Coltrane. . . . That is in corrected speed in the box set. . . .

I'm not that much a lingerie fan. . . still my favorite Venus cover (oh Marie!):

I understand that, but really I can't find even 1% of the stuff I want to have on vinyl in this town so. . . cd and cdr are the way to go for me. It's good enough sonically with all the care I've put into my systems.

Some lp transfers to cdr sound fantastic, I agree. . . . They don't all necessarily trounce a manufactured cd of the same material, but some do. I really enjoy listening to vinyl on cdr.

Look into HHB burners. I bought one early this year and LOVE it. Very nice transfers, lots of nice options as far as more useful level controls for both incoming digital and analog, balance, fading up or down, etc. . . . Quality machine, quality ADC and DAC converters, easy to use.

I voted for other! Cuz he KILLS!

Yes, this looks like a good one. . . something to consider for my next EMI order!

When you get around the Arkansas border, the mail switches to covered wagon. . . .

Man I like so many of these guys. . . I voted other though because I wanted to vote for MELVIN SPARKS.

Makes you wonder if the "Tyronian trainwreck" really was one . . . of if they managed to stop the locomotive right before it ran over the damsel tied to the rails!

Andrew, the only scans I could find of the two you can't see were very small, and they show up on MY screen. . . . Try right-clicking, viewing properties, copying hte url and pasting the url into the browser?

Yeah Al, I have all her work with Benny in the two cd Columbia set. . .it's a wonderful batch of tracks for sure! She had magic. . .
