Damn, if they don't release ALL those jam sessions that were released (and there MIGHT be some extra material surrounding the released) I'll be PISSED!

I'm sure they will release more. . . they just won't be in this numbered series.

This is the last one folks! The last one! Til they announce a new limited edition series. .. .

Yes, In A Silent Way never did have a metal spine. I figured that may have been because it was "A New Direction in Music." Okay, if that were the case the Quintet box would have only a half-assed spine. So here's the 64 dollar question: will #3 have a metal spine?

Those McShann sides (which have also been released on other labels, notably the Jass (maybe, one of the Stash labels) and Masters of Jazz, are FANTASTIC! "Swingmatism"! I tried to get a friend of mine to name his little swing/jump unit that but he didn't. . . went with "The Barons of Rhythm" which is cool (a name of a Basie band at the Rheno Club in KC).

Damn, you're right, I keep forgetting! Are we still battling the Red Menace? Oh now it's Terrorism now. I get so confused.

There, I've jettisoned mine away. We can delete any topic we start I think; there is a little "Moderation Options" field down in the left corner. Hans showed me that trick some time ago--thanks Hans! I think this is a stinking lousy gimmick, this deleting the spined sets! And it would work on me if I didn't have these already; I like the metal spined sets!

Heck, I'll delete mine.

I guess my sanity's probably in question once again. I've beat those tests before!

Okay, the board finally let me log on! I'm there now as Pops Fan. I started a Una Mae Carlisle thread. I think her time has come. She LOOKS JUST LIKE NORAH JONES!

I've actually grown to like this one. . . .

It wasn't this one was it?

I think more and more I like the VeeJay work as much as the Blue Note, but I chose Night Dreamer. I listen to less and less Wayne, but this one I listen to most often the last few years. Love the JRVG.

All those Verve jams will be great to have on cd, and I believe only the one including Parker was officially released on cd (I could be wrong). I've enjoyed them for a while. Not ground-breaking, but great to hear, and different (to my ears at least) than the JATP performances. . . a bit less "grandstanding". . . . ("Grantzstanding?") All the Jazztet material will be great to have under one roof as well, especially done the "Mosaic way"!

They are rather hard to find. Are you lookingfor the lps or will cds do? Song of Singing was a cd I believe, Profile was a Japanese RVG cd. Odyssey of Isaka was on cd several times domestically. They may actually be easier to find than the lps. Or not--I have not been lp hunting in some time, so I am unable to really assess the process. If you are willing to settle for "digital reproductions" of these, send me a private message, I can help you out with these "digital reproduction" wise.

Well, I registered there, and even got a message from administration with my name and password. . . . But when I log in it won't take those and tells me someone already has that name and password. Yes, that would be ME. Oh well.

The only Rhino Handmade I've experienced so far is the Percy Mayfield. . . A MAGNIFICENT cd release. I never heard these Atlantic sides sound so good! And great music with "the Genius" on hand for about 85%.

Sheesh. Now the other half has arrived. I'll let you know if I see something funny.

Okay whatever weiz. I haven't seen Danny's outrageous behavior because it hasn't been on threads where I have been. And if I ever see a post of yours I consider funny, I'll be sure to point it out. Stick a cigar in it and have a good one. What you know of Texans could fill a thimble!

Hey Mr. Bullybobble, I'm not a leader here. I'm just another poster, like your real registered persona. DEEP happens to be a friend of mine. I haven't had an itch to say one untoward word his way since he arrived on this board. So much for big insight.

Ah hell, just buy all the Art Hodes, Albert Ammons, James P. Johnson, and Pete Johnson you can find. B)

I'd say the Bird at the Half Note and the McLean are the first two to get. I like the Green, have had an lp burn for years, but it's not as essential as several others.

Hey Bobblehead, sure, it probably could use some "babes" on that board but I won't be starting a thread. I guess pictures of beautiful women offend you the way that failed attempts at wise guy humor and dissing almost everyone like a school yard bully offends me.

Well, the Blue Note of Lion and Woff's era is one of my favorite record labels; the EMI property and its management I don't feel the same way about at all. I agree it was the actions of members (not necessarily those residing here) that brougth the board to closure. I think that the way the management of the board, or the lack of same, brought about the closing so abrubtly sucked. But I don't really harbor any resentment against them. I'll check out their European version and an American one if it surfaces. But if Dr. Bobblekoph and Red Meanie are going to hang out there a lot, I won't!

FOUND ANOTHER ONE!
