Yeah, I could spend a cool grand on about six or seven huge box sets of complete blocks of recodings of Veloso, Bethania, and others. . . .Their Brazilain section is da bomba.

The Adderley - Andrews is cool; I haven't spun it in a while, but it's worth investigating if you like the Brothers A.

You're welcome. I figured this thread would be crowded by now! I'll leave some space for others. . . I could suggest about a dozen more. Lots of good stuff at the groove!

Yes, I imagine it was amazing to see the Lost Quintet there, and would have been something else to be at the Cellar Door that one night of the four when McGlaughlin was there. Though the Sextet material without him is cooking too! This Cellar Door material is going to make one heckuva set of two cd sets or box set, whatever, when it comes out!

I'm pretty sure mine are Ks; got them with high hats of the same nature with a beat old set of Ludwigs that came from the sixties, my firs set. The drums were not worth keeping; I replaced them at first with a Simmons kit because I was playing in blues-rock bands at the time and they were JUST the ticket, then a Sonor Performer set which I still have. I kept the cymbals though; I have them in storage and can't look at them at the moment. I've got two 22" rides, one drilled for rivets, one not. They sound like Tony Williams' cymbals did in 1964. I also have a modern flat top ride bought in about 1988, a 20". That would be an "A" then. Yeah, those would be hard to find these days I guess. Thanks for the explanation. Good luck!

That's an interesting quote, thanks for sharing it.

Didn't know what one was. . . all but one of my Zildjans are ancient and not marked with a series . . . . Anyway, I don't know of any for sale. Is this one? This is on ebay right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...&category=41446

Hey, it's the best price I've seen on this one, and this is a very cool cd:

Fiery. . . has Mobley and Philly Joe on one track. . . pretty interesting stuff.

I'd consider this one, Barne with Jacky Terrason; it's nearly half the price it was a few months ago, it's got mellow stuff on it but adventurous too in its way. . . It's a great cd I keep coming back to.

Been listening to some of that myself lately!

The JSP Christian set is all live material. Would be funny if they boosted all that stuff from the sets put out by those other pirates, Definitive Records.

I found a site on the web that said it was on M Street in Georgetown. . .

I know it was in Washington, D.C., not sure of a street address. .. can look a bit.

So what's the story on the Calloway discs? Were these done FOR JSP? Reissues of earlier volumes? I agree that it appears a new low blow re: the Berigan set.

Doesn't matter. It won't change MY opinion! I'll bow out now, and try to ignore whichever of his manifestations appear.

Auf Weidersehen yourself Weizen. Have fun trying to find something humorous.

Well I continue to disagree. I have read a lot of the political forums and have yet to find anything I consider truly humorous to come from Weiz, Freud or Menace. And when you talk about UPTIGHT you talk about these three, W, F and M. Anyway, I'm very tired of Weizy's shticks but so what? It's like bing in kindergarten again, but I'm used to that on the web. If he keeps popping up in front of me I'll keep telling him so. If he stops popping up in front of my postings I'll be a lot happier.

Weizy, learn your subjects why don't you, some brilliant pschologizing going on here ---NOT. Nor one drib of funniness included. I'm not at all a fan of big breasted women, that's young Berigan's department. If you even bothered to study your targets you would see that. Berigan is the one who puts the hardly clad big breasted women in that thread that seems to upset you so mixed among his dead starlets. And if my workplace looked like that I'd be a lot happier. Boy is that shtick of yours TIRED.

Well, I haven't read this whole thread yet, and I guess I can understand why someone who was into Clifford Brown and Lee Morgan MIGHT NOT be into Miles. . . . But it's the opposite for me, I love Clifford Brown and Lee Morgan, but I listen to Miles more because he has more to offer ME. Like Jim I believe that Miles' chops were often superb and he played what he wanted to play. His timing as Jim also mentioned was amazing, a sixth sense that he had. And his leadership abilities were part of his entire musical being. He was a sculptor of sound, and like Elllington a masterful painter of the blues. He was a person who through intimidation, encouragement and perhaps even disdain brought out the very best in those on his payroll. He had a lot of tricks to use to create the architecture he wanted within his sessions. I put on Miles records to listen to MILES as often as not. I think I always will. I don't even think of him as a trumpet player in a way that I would Brownie or Mogie or Hargrove. I think of him more as just a musician/leader, more as I think of Armstrong in the period I listen to him most (the second half of his career), a consumate thinker and acter on musical ideas and feeling. And I think of Miles as a singer in a way.

I beg to differ. I'm not fooled, and none of it is in the least funny as far as I'm concerned. About as funny as kindergarden teasing!

I'm with you Guy. And on "Isn't It About that Time" on In A Silent Way Miles plays a solo that has been in my head ever since I heard it. It's funky, it's so well executed, it's like ten times better than anything I ever heard Lee Morgan do (for my taste, at least)! Miles was REALLY coming into his own coming out of the sixties and into the seventies!

Here's someone else's imaginitive idea:

That photo DOES exist.
