Chilling out after watching Dr. Childen be killed by Miriam in Hannibal by watching Fast 'n Loud.

I've only heard Zinman's 8th but even based on that alone I'd say go for it. I went for it. I haven't been crazy about Mahler in the past, but everything changes. And I have a great SACD player to feed.

That whole series from TOCJ is awesome.

Borboletta is one of my favorites as well. Allen, not sure if you'll really enjoy Santana. I would try III just for the heck of it, it's actually the one I think you might enjoy most. If that gets you wanting more work around it up and down. I'm going to revisit Azteca, it's been a long time, thanks for the reminder Jim.

Be careful though. Jory Miller sometimes makes an appearance, and there was a Palmer Eldritch sighting.

Hey Buddah, welcome! Sorry for the start over. Shouldn't be too hard to catch up.

Mahler Symphonies 1 -10 on 15 Hybrid SACDs, and also a DVD, 28 dollars and shipping (unless you have prime). http://www.amazon.com/Mahler-Symphonies-Tonhalle-Orchestra-Zurich/dp/B0045TN2MK/ref=sr_1_8?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1413947551&sr=1-8&keywords=DVD-Audio

Okay, well, my answer is the same.

Interesting. MTM isn't that for me, but Eva Longoria or Sade is, so I get it.

A spaghetti dress though. . . that's different!

She was a lovely lady but the jewlery doesn't do much for me.

I agree that the McGhee are very good. I also like the Dodo Marmarosa tracks.

It can be hard to watch and enjoy some shows if you're devoted to the books they're based on. In this case I've seen movies but never read any of Harris' work. Which may well be the best way to watch Hannibal. This show is so well-made. Very impressive.

Yes, I was not in the right frame of mind when I saw this first and put watching it aside. The orchestrated death scenes horrifed me, and I didn't quite get the ebb and flow of the protaganists' and their interactions. I needed lighter fare then, I was struggling with my own daemons. It's amazing. I'm creeping my way through Season 2.

Looks awesome Joe! How exciting! Ordered a copy.

Cornell would have been holding a Tele!

Interesting. Don't know. Has a sort of Phil Upchurch vibe going but not him.

I agree with all the above. If this were five years ago I would say with hope "wait for the inevitable expanded and remastered 'Big Band and Quartet in Concert' it's an important work and the new reissue will be great." But I now doubt we'll see it unless Columbia does a similar set to the Studio Recordings with the Live Recordings. I'd like to see that, I thought I saw someone mention it as a possiblibity but I don't know if we'll ever see such a thing.

Jazz Workshop is very much along the lines of "Live at the It Club." I like it very much, but I have a hard time being impartial, I love Monk.

Joe I am certain you would immediately and easily tell the difference. As would anyone with a lot of familiarity with Kind of Blue. The differences . . . well that's the experience, for me, the differences. I'm enjoying the release.

Now watching Hannibal Season 2. I wish I hated this show because it's the creepiest thing I've ever seena nd is so disturbing. But it's one of the best produced, filmed, and written shows I've ever seen.

I like listening to Hardee! Need to find my discs and give them another spin soon. Can't tell you how much I wish this 75th Anniversary bash included some sets of the first ten years or so of the Blue Note recorded legacy. There seems increasingly less interest from fans or the labels in these years and that's a shame. . . .We're lucky for the sessions Michael Cuscuna and the Japanese have given us on cd, years ago.

Feels a little more than that or something like that (my art school days were in a boarding school in Swaziland a long time and place away) for me. But I agree this is not of earth-shaking importance or anything close. That said, I've enjoyed listenening to this and reacting to the reproduction of the music by the players and the recording and discovering a bit for myself the way that the individual nervous systems and personalities of players and the nature of recording equipment and recording space enter into the listening experience and find that a very interesting (and in my case, perhaps of equal import, relaxing) use of valuable "alone" time for this week.
