Weir and John Mayer were interviewed by Andy Cohen for "What What Happens Live." When asked which artist or group most influenced the Dead he said "Oh I'm going to go out on a limb and say John Coltrane." He said that Dead and Co. will probably record an album. At first he said "but first we need to write new songs." Then he said that they were tossing around the idea of making an album with studio versions of songs Dead played that were NOT on studio albums before, and gave "almost all of the songs on Europe '72" as an example. Personally, I'd buy that.

Some good info here: http://soul-sides.com/2016/06/a-quick-primer-on-betty-daviss-columbia-recordings-album.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+o-dub%2FdqRL+%28soul+sides%29 Robert, I don't know if Hendrix was in fact approached for these sessions. . . .but he (his relationship with Betty) may be the reason they were not released. My amazon order is now delayed til July 7.

Though that sounds like Dusty Groove language, it's actually from the LIA press release. I just say July 11 doesn't seem right because the new release day is Friday now.

Hmmm. . . .I could see 7/8 or 7/15 but 7/11?

Looking forward to this, supposedly released Friday. Not much promotion of pre-release press about this one! I wonder if that is Betty wanting to maintain a low-key stance, or if this is an imitation of the pop album "surprise drop" (online). I hope it shows Friday. . .exciting news.

What a band!

The Larry Sanders Show is on amazon, complete series, for 20 bucks Prime.

I've played it through once so far and like it. Sound quality is not unlike the other High Note live Woody Shaw volumes.

I'm happy if there are two more, indeed. The show just keeps getting better . . . it's sinister in many ways.

That makes me three to say: don't give up. It's one of my favorite shows now active (one more season to go). I just finished Boardwalk Empire Season 4 on Blu-ray. After watching the bonus features, it's on to Jessica Jones on DVD.

There's a newer pressing LP out there, Scorpio maybe. I have one, bought new from DG. . . it sounds good. . . but doesn't sound like an original likely does. Probably made from one of the CDs.

Good news for someone! Both the Japanese releases of that album sound great imo.

I think nearly every Jazz Oracle release is worth checking out, even those I've had low expectations for have been very interesting. But I definitely recommend the Red Nichols, the Jack Purvis, the Ben Pollocks, the Three Ts, and the Dorsey Bros.

I agree, and The Lunchbox is a great movie.

Agreed. Zuliekha and Kal both did a great job!

Adjusted.

What an amazing game, and what a great day for NE Ohio. Too many decades without a win, well that's changed!

Amen.

Was on cd via Japan in the 'nineties.

I'm ready for Game 7 and for a Cleveland win. We'll see. This town needs a win. Especially right before Trump gets here and bums us out.

Another sold. Original post edited. Thanks.

Three more sold, original post edited. Thanks!

The trio portion of the "Beautiful Love" tune is interesting. . . not sure I could take a whole two albums of this with orchestration dolloped on top. . . . I liked his Andrew Hill themed album. Hmmm.

Two more sold; original post edited. Thanks.

Several have sold; original post has been updated. Thanks!
