Hey, I'll pay my way Al, but thanks! Glad to share some stuff that was new to you!

Now that's a present! Thanks Chris!

Thanks y'all! I've had an awful week really (both workwise and my wife has not been entirely well), I feel very BLUE, and I'm hoping to get through the week and have a little fun with a few friends this wekend. Shawn, get ready, yours is coming up and you have reason to celebrate!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ONCE MORE TO THE KING!

What's really complicating the matter is that the difference in copywrite laws between the US and other areas of the world. . . .

It's NOT missing any bars! Good score, man I envy the fun you'll be having! Way to go!

Oddly enough one of the most beautiful women I had ever met in my twenties was named Mary Moore, she was the office manager of the factory I worked in in Ohio for a number of years called "Besten Inc." A beautiful red head who was a very nice person as well. . . .

Marie was responsible for some of the artwork on his eighties and nineties releases, and was his companion for some time as far as I can tell. Quite a beautiful woman! I've never been able to corner the recording under her name but am curious! I'm certainly eager for any details as well.

Mine too, this is tempting, but I just ordered DTS #10 and the other Storyville "Jaywalker" so have to cool my heels a bit!

Well, now that I have the SECOND Nara Leao box set from Universal Brazil, I want the FIRST!

Can't comment on the HDCD; haven't got a player that uses it working right now. I can comment on the Treasury Shows: I have all previous nine volumes, have the tenth on the way. I love this series! Lovingly done as far as sound restoration and wonderful performances! If you dig the forties Ellington they're great to have!

I've never seen Scott perform, but I have quite a few of his albums and I'm a huge fan. The one that I reach for often is "Heaven," which is a product of a collaboration with pianist Jackie Terrason, and I listen to the Savoy box set that collects his Savoy (and one Atlantic) recordings which are wonderful to my ears---showing Scott grow through the fifties and sixties and full of great music.

If one looks at the www.miles-trees.org site you'll find a list of persons willing to trade for/provide the former tree cdrs. Tree Traders

I've had Autojazz on cd for about three years or so now. Interesting album. . . . Most "Coltranelike" I've heard Wilen, and the racing motor sounds are much more an integral part of the work than for example in Le Grand Cirque. . . . Not essential Wilen for the price, but an interesting album for Wilen fans. Moderne Nostalgie is not quite Paris Moods to my ears---I don't like the instrumentation and arrangement as much---but a good album that I wish were more easily available (I wish the Alphas weren't only available as expensive Japanese imports!) I ordered my new live cd from the magazine. . .going to be exciting to receive it!

Well, my wife and I went to see this yesterday, and enjoyed ourselves. It very much is a comic book on a screen, which is a good thing, to try to makie it anything else would have been disasterous. There's plenty of comic book plot. I felt that the direction was very appropriate to that end, and very good altogether: the pace and the look and the feel were on target. I think that Halle and Ben and Sharon all turned out good performances. And for cat lovers there are nice pieces here to enjoy. And Halle . . . she is a beautiful and charming actress. My wife enjoyed as well! MUCH more than I thought she would. Glad we went.

Too bad Parks couldn't get the picture in the red velvet hotel lobby chair he was first trying to get.

I've got the Edison/Rich and well. . . it's good, but it's just ab it too "drummy" for me. . . .

YES, I'm still waiting for that as well. . . if any an album deserves it. . . this does in my opinion.

I haven't heard this one. Personally I LOVE Weston's Destry Rides Again. And Kenton's West Side Story. And Peterson's West Side Story. And. . . quite a few others. So just call me omniverous!

Well, I'm going to plug my favorite audio manufacturer once more and recommend this player: https://athena.safe-order.net/decware/SACD/sacd.htm It seems a bit over what you want to spend, and I really hesitated to buy it for some time, but I have amps (times two, and have had another of the amps as well) and speakers from this builder and LOVE THEM WITH ALL MY AUDIO HEART, so I began to yearn for a source from him as well. This is a Sony universal changer with a tubed output stage modified on that comes right off the DAC. It plays dvds, SACDs and cds and cdrs with MP3 burned onto them. It took about five weeks for the tube stage to really burn in and bloom. . . but man now that it HAS it is the best source I've ever had in my home. Regular cd playback sounds really wonderful, and a good SACD is the step beyond it should be. The stock player that it is built around is quite good as well, and all its outputs are still active, but the tubed output trounces it. Coming right off the DAC gives really a dynamic and detailed sound. I'm really happy with it after a month of wondering if I should have gotten it; after three weeks it started sounding really good, after five it shined brightly and now I'm in my sixth week and wanting to play hooky to stay home and listen. I think because he uses really oversized powersupplies all his products seem to take a really long time to break in. . . but the wait is worth it. Recommended, and there is a forum on this site that will have testimonials from the owners that gives good information as well. . . .

Wow, Indigos is ANOTHER favorite of mine, fantastic playing and overall vibe!

Matt Dusk is now on the Fox TV series "The Casino", singing in the lounge and kissing the owners asses as hard and often as he can. I guess he's okay if you like loungy wannabe sinatras and dinos. I don't even like the originals so Dusk does little for me.

Casettes CAN sound great, been listening to a few dozen lately myself!

No, they've been offline for a long time. For a while the editor, Aaron Wrixson, took them over and incorporated them into AAJ's monthy magazine, but I don't think either is around any longer.

Me too. . .
