Thanks Claude.

Thought I remember that Spain did not sign off on the international agreements? Maybe it's just oldtimer's disease at work, but that would explain some of what goes on. . . .

Conn, unless one has one's head in the sand one should be able to see Imperialism at work today.

I agree with you D. It's quite an impressive book in many ways. It is NOT aimed at this audience as its target. And "opinion" is heavy everywhere in jazz writing. It's a plague! Many pointing fingers I find simply have a differing baggage of opinion behind them. Anyway, I bought one copy with a gift certificate to Tower from my dad, for the pictures and the facts within. Then the next year, Xmas 2002, he gave me a copy that he found remaindered! I gave that away to a friend.

If Alice is leasing the Half Note material to Impulse (and maybe they're having RVG do the remastering hope hope; he did such great stuff with the live material for the Monk family) then. . . I'm very happy!

Many more happy ones and down with Imperialism!

Well, this is news to me! What is the title of the Alice Coltrane? Good news, I'm really eager for these! Thanks for the heads up.

Yes, Nitty+Gritty is a good one indeed! Took me a little while to warm up to it, but then it erupted into good listening flames. Moshi is an odd duck. Sort of a bluesrock pseudoAfricanesque fusion. NOT a Wilen I grab all the time. Needs revisiting, interesting, not an essential part of his catalog, in my opinion.

This book has been remaindered for over a year.

I think there will be more "educated guessing" in a week!

Many more happy ones!

Thanks for the information Mr. Wright!

Get a cheap vcr, or a dvd/vcr combo; I don't think you need worry too much about them failing independently, something in the combined output section is likely to fail! I have a combo player and really enjoy it.

Definitely a quality vendor. Great customer service. Excellent products, fast and very careful shipping.

No Jo(ke)!

Ten cds in this set. I'll say one thing: the sound on the set is superb. It's better than the individual cds that have come out from the set in the last few years. Just some of the best sounding Mosaics ever. (The original recordings were very well produced by Teddy Reig!)

1200 dollars! Wow. . . I didn't know my set was potentially so valuable! I should listen to it more often!

Clint, I didn't follow this too closely. But I think you'll find details in this thread, and a companion called "Can't take the HEAT" http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...0&hl=christiern DEEP's now more active at the Blue Note Board, Euro edition.

How's Tales of Topographic Oceans in new remastering? That's probably the one Yes album I'd most like to hear again. . . .

I think your prediction is right on Alexander. I'm glad Ms Coppola got the Oscar for her screenplay. That was a fine movie, an old-fashioned pure story-telling movie!

I will probably get some bunsen burner wounds for this one but . . . Wow, I really WANT to like this box. . . First disc with percussion leaves me rather cold. As a percussionist there is little to really fascinate me there! Would rahter he had played the horns more. . . .

Gosh yes Ray Nance. . . he was an amazing singer! And trumpeter! And violinist! And. . . .

The Malik is/was on cd (not American).

CONGRATULATIONS DAN!

It's pretty good! eevery now and the I get on a Xanadu kick. Some real gems on that label!
