Thanks for reminding me to pull this set out again!

Now that you're old enough to drink and vote, don't overdo either!

Yes Brandon, the Pablo lp. It's quite a nice lp! Listening to it right now. . . could definitely enjoy a sonic upgrade.. . though the lp has really nice piano recording (that resonance that MLW gets out of a piano is well represented) . . . .

Had a spinach and cilantro salad topped with half an avacado, french vinaigrette dressing. :rsmile:

Sometimes I think you're related to my wife! Sounds just like something she would/did say! I always seem to have stacks of empty jewel cases around so in my case she'd have not much trouble. B-)

I have halved my storage needs by using slimiline doubles and maxislim cases whenever possible, not to mention slimline four cd cases when I have no or very little art. . . .

I just listened to this again as I did some chores. . . . My favorite part is the final movement, how it starts off spare and builds up. I like the writing for the strings and the trumpet best on this disc. It's a good recording and deserves to be listened to again. I'll dig it out next weekend if I remember. Now its cousin McFarland with the "By the Time I get to Phoenix" on it. . . that has some really good and really bad stuff on it, almost in equal doese!

Oh yeah, the notes are there. I've just been on a sincere "fuck the notes" lately bit due to corpse-kicking, chest pounding and facts-bitching all over this place. I didn't read the notes, and the music itself really doesn't impart a "message" my way, which McFarland might not have liked to hear!

I'll definitely revisit it soon, I don't plan on leaving it on the shelf for a long time because it's "nice"--I just have so much stuff to listen to that I am unable to really give anything prolonged attention right now, I'm hoping that changes in a few months! I didn't really "get a message" from it but that may come. John, I don't really think it's "stoopid," but there are fun moments, including the guitar stuff.

More Mary Lou! Alright! (this is a good lp). I also like the Manne lp! So at least a couple good ones here. Thanks for posting these!

I bought this recently on DCC cd from a board member. . . . It's "Nice." I'm not sure I am someone who necessarily likes "that sort of thing" but I did enjoy this first few listens. . . or as you accurately state "portions" of this. There ARE some very interesting moments of music and some very intriguing writing. Worth checking out, but not worth losing sleep over if it is NOT a part of your collection!

Marty, I think the gist of the difference is in this portion of the link that Sun posted: The HHB CDR830 BurnIT PLUS enhances the already comprehensive feature set of the HHB CDR830 BurnIT. A Word Clock input enables synchronisation to a host clock during playback, making the unit ideal for applications in which audio remains entirely in the digital domain. The BurnIT PLUS also features balanced XLR analogue I/O and balanced XLR digital I/O – making the recorder ideal for all professional applications. In your case I wouldn't spend the extra two hundred. I didn't, and have no "nonbuyer's remorse."

Marty, a few points: The HHB does NOT automatically revert to analog copying of copies; you can defeat "Serial Copy Management" on this machine. A benefit of this being a professional model. Bill was talking about the Harmon Kardon burner in that sentence and his mention of "second generation" players.

Count Hancockula!

After spending a few disappointing years with a Philips, I bought an HHB Burnit professional machine. It uses plain old PC blanks (as opposed to "audio blanks" though it can use those as well) and it has very nice level and balance controls, faders, etc. It has been a great performer, is solidly built, sounds very nice both the copies it makes and as a player.

Jeff many many happy returns!

Try fresh cilantro on a fresh spinach salad!

Give me Cilantro or give me. . . well I like a WHOLE LOT o' SPICES!

Well, if you have the Smalls and the Voila Fresh Sounds, you should get this! And there is a Classics out under Babs' name that has most of the Blue Note cd's material and if I'm remembering correctly a few items not on that one. . . .That's great stuff!

If you like the Blue Note material, you'll like this. It's not quite as good in my opinion, but it's along the same lines.

Now reading "Living Jazz," by Dan Morganstern. Going to develop some muscles hauling this around!

Isn't that the mummy of Ramses II?

I heard she danced that way at junior high dances!

That's what passes for a smile among sober people!

I feel the same way. . . but I DO like her guitar playing a lot. And she's cute!
