This has been mentioned in the long Warne Marsh thread. . . . Made me preorder it. . . can't wait for it to ship!

Yes, he should have said something like "Before Louis Armstrong, everyone used to sing *I love you you love me in June spoon moon* and then after Louis everyone was like **OOH MAMA YEAH WOMP FROM WAY DOWN UH HUH** "

It's definitely not a Russell or a Whetling painting! I've never seen Ann Peacock's work. . . .

Glad you're back! REALLY GLAD!

Cool. I know I didn't pay more than list price, even paid a sales price. . . it just HURT that day enough to feel like 95!

I have a nagging feeling that the Cannonball Plays Zawinul disc is meant to include the "jazzier" stuff on Capitol that is left that they plan on releasing, and plans for the rest aren't a priority. . . I HOPE I'M WRONG.

Thanks for posting the info Don!

I know I paid more at Tower, the day Jack Johnson was released. . . Ah well! This is the first time I haven't bought one of these box sets on the day of release at Tower!

Hmmm. . . when it first came out I could have sworn that Jack Johnson had a considerably higher list price, like about 95 bucks?

Sound quality is okay, not GREAT but not bad.

I tried this one but it had problems too.

Sure, it wasn't showing up well so I changed it. . . .twice. I still like the cute one.

See, here they're only touching on the tv screen!

Maybe it's just trick photography, but. . . .

I hope they don't have to dress like Ronald! I like the cute one. . .

I've just become a stone cold Adderley nut. All the Capitol stuff I've heard I really like. Yes, sometimes you have to sort of wait til Cannon comes in but when he does. . . BAM. . . there you are on the floor. Cannon just was so deep into the music. . . . Like Jim says he was thoroughly rooted in the people, and he was constantly growing musically. I'm just floored by some of the solos he put down in his final years, from "Mercy Mercy Mercy" on he just put in elements that blended deceptively with the soulful swinging ones that bowl me over. I wish that Domination, Love Themes, Africa. . .well I wish all the Capitols would be reissued individually. PLEASE! I've never heard a few like Experience in E and really want to!

"Gloomy Sunday" was of course associated with Billie Holiday as well (though she didn't "introduce" the tune). (And let's not forget the Bob Brookmeyer version, right?)

Damn! I still have to get that Ray Brown and Milt Jackson cd!

I wish I could Walter, I wish I could, it's my idea of a guitar to own. Best of luck with the sale!

I certainly haven't heard that cd. Branford can really play. I have some of his recordings and play them on occasion. He sort of lost me towards the end of the nineties because he seemed to be locked into a burnout solo bag. . . . I wanted him to play more melodic and mellow material like this you heard because he can do that very well . . . . That is probably a good cd worth pursuing.

I have a few (non HDCD) cds that read with digital distortion on some of my machines and not on others. Very strange. Near the end of the cdr, in the final ten minutes or so a whirling sort of distortion. On other machines not one audible bit of distortion. I'm learning to accept little audio mysteries in the digital realm.

I may have some Dick's Picks for sale soon. . . so recommend those! Another plug for "Ace"---really a Dead album in many ways, and one of the good studio ones (another favorite is Wake of the Flood--I just LOVE that lp!)

Some nice titles there. Not on Muse, but those Abdullah Ibrahim titles are wonderful!

Happy birthday Julian! What a player and jazz personality! I wish we could have had him around so much longer! Wish he were here today!

Just ordered the Teagarden cd coming out on September 21, live from Olympia Theatre, Paris 1957. . . . CANNOT resist Teagarden I haven't heard!
