What, is he going to share a rant with Eastwood?

Thanks! I am enjoying it, the sound is better than I expected and it's still making me smile realizing I have it after so many years.

Aftab, good to see you. No answer to your query as I'm not sure where my Conn is or my Mosaic set at the moment, and I'm not home to look for htem, but nice to see a post.

I wasn't pointing any fingers other than to an ongoing discussion. Although in a way this IS a reissue as the four Fillmore East nights were officially released in highly-edited form by Columbia. Is it release day yet?

Challengers is totally ridiculous, but that is it's charm. After a full day with my Mom's dementia even supervillains are fun and strangely rational.

Yes indeed Doug, we've been talking about it here: I'm really looking forward to this!

Not necessarily true. When I am by myself and listening to what I want, there are periods of time when I listen to music for days on end that are not available in stereo. Mono can be fantastic, better than stereo in some instances. And sometimes the mono mix is significantly different enough that I'll prefer it to mono and not reach for the stereo. So I know you love to be right, but for me this statement often really isn't: "But, at the end of the day, the majority of music any of us listens to is in stereo. And it's not because recording in mono was cost prohibitive. ;)"

Sometimes the mixes are better though. I really love the way Bill Evans souns in the mono Jazz Track, the piano sounds more resonant and full. In each of these I find a reason in the mix to really enjoy. . . it's not just that it's 'mono.' But maybe because you love stereo the placebo effect is keeping you from hearing the benefit of the mono.

You're not a strange freak. There's much to enjoy in the stereo mixes! I like them both, and like having them both, and having all these mono albums expertly mastered in one bang-for-buck set is a really nice thing! Listened yesterday to the "Jazz Track" Sextet sides. . .man the piano sounds so good!

Lately my guilty pleasure has been buying and reading the cheap reprints of DC comics I liked when I was kid, before I went off to Africa. So far I've gotten the Challengers of the Unknown (Kirby and Wood for a good portion), Adam Strange and Hawkman.

That would be great! I'd love to see the Paul Jeffrey titles reissued.

There is a link on the wish list page to "manage your list" that allows you to make it private, public, or "shared". . . .The default I believe is public. I confused the heck out of a friend of mine when he was looking at my wish list because it's "all over the map." My tastes in books, movies and music is all over the map, and I also use the wish list for items to buy for friends and family as gifts.

Here's the clip I saw. I received the cd, very nice.

I finally got the Nichols in from Japan. I agree, a bit loud, and some bloated bass, but to be honest I always hear that bloat on this album, and everything else sounds really good on this one especially the piano and the snare drum. Glad I got it.

I also think that the sound degradation can be very gradual especially if you're an occasional player (I'm an occasional player, though I've played more the last nine months than for about three years before that and have been appropaching an every day player).

That's true of a few of these. I no longer have the Elvin Jones Mosaic, and these and some from Japan a few years ago are getting me close to having them all again, in better sound. I want to hear Isaka and Grass Roots in this new mastering, and I just have a beat up lp of Cosmos.

Her most recent came out in September last year; she's put out one in '09 and '11 and now '13 --- I think she's only 22. This is the cover of the most recent. A copy just shipped to me from amazon, ordered on the strength of that late night TV performance.

ether, I ordered these: shorter: 'odyssey of iska' hill: 'grass roots', jones: 'polycurrents' and 'genesis' donaldson: 'cosmos' Laton, I'd love to see the Hodes and Bechet titles to be honest, those would be my frist choices.

I've watched the first season, and have the second season ready to watch soon. A very good Starz drama, keeps in the stars "manner" (I don't have a lot of problems with that) and yet tells a good yarn with some depth. Reminds me of Damages in a way, and also of another two season Starz drama, "Crash." And there's Hannah Ware in it. She's lovely. I've worked in state government, put in almost three decades, and I've seen glimpses of this sort of behavior by those in power of a smaller scope, but with just as much desperation and intent. Makes all this seem very real to me. I bet the second season is good. There's another element to this that strikes home to me and makes it seem realer than it probably is: my mother is struggling with dementia, I often think she may even have Lewy Body though it's never quite been diagnosed.

Just something I inherited. Plus I worked with my hands for years and put them through their paces. It's early stage now, we'll see how it progresses in the years to come.

To my knowledge, no difference.

I watched an internet broadcast of one of her concerts from Joe's Pub; I thought she was good. She's quite impressive, and well-educated musically for a gal from Wimberly.

Thanks for the import cd link Hans, for 135 US this is a great deal, and my Dad and I will enjoy going through the box set.

According to this page there are bonus tracks from the Fillmore West, but I don't think from the Black Beauty date: http://www.waff.com/story/24529118/miles-davis-miles-at-the-fillmore-miles-davis-1970-the-bootleg-series-vol-3-introducing-bitches-brew-era-miles-to-fillmore-and-rock-audiences-of The three additional bonus tracks add another 35 minutes of music, released here for the first time, recorded in April 1970, at the Fillmore West in San Francisco (where Graham put Miles and band on a bill with the Grateful Dead and Stone The Crows). MILES AT THE FILLMORE – Miles Davis 1970: The Bootleg Series Vol. 3 now contains 135 minutes of previously unreleased music.
