Congratulations on completing that project!

If blue is your favorite color, this is the place!

I'm just operating from memory, but I think that is on all copies. I remember reading a talk with Dorn where he said that they just took the analog reels straight into digital 16bit, with no audio cleansing, etc. which is not a bad thing to do in my opinion. I don't think they "de-hissed" or "de-noised" these, and I think they sound pretty darned good overall (perhaps as a byproduct.)

Thanks for calling my attention to the link. Looks as if they may have split the original cd into two volumes. RE: the TOCJ remastering possibility: all I know is that the Leo Parker I have sounds as if it were a TOCJ, and that it is not the same remastering (and doesn't have the alternate) of the early US version.

Wow, wonder what's on the second Joao Gilberto?

Sidewinder: those are cool. Not on cd.

And Imp: yes, "Ace"---I remember that album fondly, and what a killer cover too! Thanks for reminding me of that one. I could stand to listen to that and the Dead stuff from '73 to '75 again.

Boy are you a BRAVE man! Hey, no flaming from me, from what I can remember you've given good advice, though I will admit to a real fondness for the tune "Althea" on Go to Heaven. . . . I don't know why, I just really like that tune!

All these are great recommendations. . . which just means that there is so much excellent Stanley out there. Dan's very insightful look into the assembly of the masterpiece "Blue Hour" is right on: this is a masterpiece, a real statement for both the label and the two principles (four really) Stan and the Three Sounds. The real truth is. . . unless perhaps you go into his later work which I haven't explored too much because I sampled one that was a little uninspired and I just haven't gone further. . . the truth is that if you pick up almost ANY Stan T recording as a leader, or a sideman, you'll have some great stuff!

Wow Tod, I have one fantastic cd of this material, and knew that there was another out there. . . FOUR cds total? What label is this on? Where did you land it? I'll have to look in to this!

I haven't listened to this too much, but I did enjoy the first and third discs a lot, more than I thought I might! Also I'm enjoying the Milton Brown set. Gosh, I've been in Texas 23 years. . . now I'm actually buying western music. . . something's happened to me!

Bunny boy, I'm not a liberal. I'm just not dazzled, bought and seduced by the near-sighted wrong-headedness of this administration. In my book, you're a schoolyard wannabe Greg as far as the way you talk to persons. It exhibits verbal violence, poor manners, and a bullying tendency. I'll never say that is okay. So keep up. When you get to high school, you might get your comeuppance.

I haven't played any Dead in years, and I used to have a LOT of their lps. . . . Gave up a certain stimulant and became a mainly jazz head about the same time. . . years ago. The ones I miss and may get again one day are "Mars Hotel," "Wake of the Flood" and "Blues for Allah," three consecutive releases that really are solid if you ask me. And I really miss the "Walk me Out in the Morning Dew" from the Europe set.

Happy Mother's Day!

No, I've never read "Further Confessions." Hmmm. . . . Lots of humor in what I read actually now that I think of it. In the last few years Kerouac has really made me howl. And of course, there's Thurber. And Vonnegut (and Kilgore Trout!) And yes, Heinlein can be hilarious. . . though often unintentionally. (Number of the Beast anyone?)

Unintentionally doubled the post.

Some favorites of mine for their humor: Philip K. Dick Kingsley Amis John Irving and "The Confessions of Zeno"

Berigan, thanks for continuing to prove my point. The statements you make ARE childish. Your attention-seeking IS childish. I've decided to not sit mute when you insult Norah Jones or threaten Michael Moore. But then again, I'm just feeding your attention-seeking, so perhaps I will stop. I don't hold a grudge forever, far from it. I could be one of the most accepting persons and forgiving persons you may encounter. I'm just calling your spades spades. For your information, I choose NOT to discuss Michael Moore's statement with you because your attitude and your postings about this and other things would be childish and violent. Ditto for why I won't mention what I think of Chris's statement about Condoleza and to tell you the truth I hadn't even known he made that statement. I read very few political threads because the tacit agreement with the imperialist stance and oligarchic trends of this present administration I found within them repelled me! I'd rather not see that avatar, and this thread is about polling opinion on your avatar. It looks like something a twelve-year-old puts out in front of a group and goes "tee hee." Well, tee hee all you want. You have a right to post it. But it just leads me to continue to draw the conclusion that you have very little of content to read in your posts, and I shouldn't even bother. Not even when they are of a subject I'm interested in such as Bunny Berigan. Aside: Why is this "the best thread ever"?

There is some very cool and wild Cannonball on "The Soul Bible" as well!

Yeah, I'm a ten-year-old. Right. Grow up Berigan and earn some respect.

I think it's a fine example of a twelve-year-old mind at work.

No comment.

Brad, it's the "Let Me Tell You About It" (patent made title for Kevin B's reports from Michael C as is witnessed by his use of the lp cover as an avatar). I've already gotten an email inquiry about this, and I'm hoping I'm not too confused and I still have this for sale! It's not listed any longer in my "for sale" section which has me confused. . . .

"Savoy/32jazz"? That's odd. This was out before on 32jazz.

I have the Leo Parker on Time Life Blue Note and it does sound like a Japanese remastering. Sounds very good. In fact, I have two copies, and one is for sale.
