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.

I like that "sweet and lowdown" sound too, and I spent years as a drummer, so the bass is fascinating to me as the "partner" to what I used to do. Hard on my fingers though, which are starting to be a bit arthritic. ;(

Really, you only need one guitar. It's sort of a sickness to have so many. I do make a point of playing them all at least once in a while, though I have about four guitars and two basses that I mostly play. I haven't set the drumsets up since I moved; I have an apartment now and no time to play them anyway, and no one to play them with (they're not solo instruments). I've probably said this to you before, playing is like a meditation to me, and I like to explore sound and textures and use the instrument to sort of draw myself out of myself. In my new place I'm playing a lot more because. .. well, the only real free time I have is on weekday afternoons and there are no neighbors at that time, so I'm much less self-conscious, and I'm also feeling blue and expressing that musically is therapeutic, and I have no one else to spend time with. I can imagine you playing bass page, it made me smile.

Liefs page. That's a nice color! I have about a dozen guitars and a half dozen basses. And two drum sets. And an electronic piano. And a contrabass violin. And a kazoo.

That's my thinking too, you can pay this much for an assembly line one from the majors made in America. And this guitar is on anohter level.

I don't do recordings so won't be posting any. But you would like this guitar. And you would love the "Bolt" by Phil Gawen, it's even more Garcia and Santana, and even more versatile. Worth checking out Troy's site: http://www.postguitars.com Also worth checking out Phil Gawen's site: http://www.philgawen.com/phigaguitars.htm I'd love to have another one of Phil's, the "Bolt" I have plays like no other guitar, and on top of that is just awe-inspiringly beautiful. I got an incredible deal on it, and it had sat in a case for nine years. . . otherwise I couldn't have afforded it.

This is the Phiga "Bolt" that I bought, made by luthier Phil Gawen of Brownsville, Texas. Seven laminate neck through design. The top is Brazilian imbruia, the core is ash, the back is purpleheart, the neck is a laminate of flame maple, purpleheart and bloodwood, the pickups are Tesla. This is the easieset playing and most flexible sonically of any guitar I've owned. Truly an amazing piece of art. Not only that but the serial number is "08/04" and as my birthday is August 4, that's too cool.

Okay, I've been fiscally reckless and spent money from savings I shouldn't have this year, but I finally really know what I want in a guitar and have been able to really get guitars I can't stop playing. . . . I boutht a Phil Gawen (Phiga) Stephen Cripe "Lightning Bolt" copy as the Irwin and Cripe guitars are always fascinating to me. The "Lightning Bolt" was a steal, beautiful wood and excellent craftsmanship, fantastic playability and sound. This got me thinking that what I've really wanted all along was a Doug Irwin "Wolf" style guitar. So I did a lot of research and decided to try out a Troy Post model, he calls it the "GT" for "Garcia Tribute." This one is unlike the real Wolf as it has a bolt on neck (maple with a rosewood fingerboard), and a simplified "sandwhich" body, but then it didn't cost even as much as an American Standard Fender Strat. I had him add Gotoh tuners, a brass nut, and the later Wolf complement of pickups, Dimarzio SDS-1 single coil and two Super 2 humbuckers. The humbuckers are coil tapped. The body is black walnut with a poplar "binding layer." I think this damned thing is beautiful. And boy, is this an expressive guitar, real clarity and speed to the sound and lots of sustain. You can get the Garcia sonic world and also do a Santana thing, lots of sounds in this dog. It plays really well. I think it's beautiful and I haven't picked up another guitar since it arrived on Friday last. Can't stop playing this guitar. It has a brighter, crisper sound than I'm used to but I'm making it work. Definitely captures the sound of the strings in the way that the real Wolf does on recordings I have (listened yesterday to one of the discs on the new Legion of Mary set and immediately heard the similarities). And it's got a great neck, it feels and the attack is a lot like my Fender American Deluxe Mahogany Strat, one of my favorite Strats, while sounding so different. It is an odd sensation of familiarity and exciting new.
