I don't honestly think Sony cares what we want.

Hans, I don't think I've ever seen you post anything stupid! Hope you are getting well minute by minute.

Apparently it's legit ("taken from original source tapes"), so here's a link to Amazon U.K.: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Friends-Neighbors-Ornette-Prince-Street/dp/B00CONC162/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1372423785&sr=1-1-fkmr0&keywords=ornette+coleman+friends+and+neighbours According to Amazon UK the Heron set is on "BGP/Ace," so should be as legit as possible.

Yes, I have the cd, that Moffett is a good one.

Hope it was a great one!

Didn't notice. Really don't pay attention to covers. Quality control is bad on this edition!

Decided to re-read these Judge Dee mysteries; I love them!

Even nicer via amazon US for Amerikaners. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PMLIKY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The Ornette is great.

A lot more 'forties Minton recordings. Billie Holiday and Gil Evans collaborations.

No. Get them.

Antonio Carlos Jobim and Gil Evans collaborations.

For instance, I'd love to hear Thelonious Monk performing "So Danca Samba." Or Louis Armstrong and the All Stars live renditions of "Light my Fire."

I've heard really good things about this one, and use a lot of their products, but have never used a turntable mat other than the stock . . .. http://herbiesaudiolab.net/ttmat.htm

You missed a good price on the Hoffman board. . .I checked but it has sold.

The way I hear it Peacock brings a very different solo voice to the music than Jarrett does, less lyrical and rhapsodic and more cerebral and mathematical if you will,* offering a contrasting style to the mix. In tandem with De Johnette he's able to bring differing degrees of swing and groove, and in fact I think Peacock is central to the uniqueness of the trio, adding a distinctness to it. *I don't know if I'm explaining what I mean well, but I've been playing bass more than anything the last few years and that is how Peacock's soloing seems to be to me as opposed to an outright swinging or very melodic soloing.

The Killing, Mad Men, an episode of How Sex Changed the World.

For a few days Amazon US has great deals on the Complete Dick Van Dyke Show DVD and Blu-ray . . .

Looking forward to the Mad Men season finale tonight.

Just have to say. . . try as I might I've never become a fan of the mellotron. Its presence on an album usually means I steer clear.

Oh by the way, I love "Small Town Security," I think it's hilarious.

I can understand that and actually did know that. Still, I'm surprised that I've not really liked a lot of these shows as much as I have, and Person of Interest is the one that I like the most. Right now I'm checking out a series of shows called "What the Ancients Knew" that is very interesting (have seen the episodes about Egypt and India; there are three more to watch.)

Watching some more of Person of Interest on blu-ray early in the morning and late at night (when I'm home). This show suffers a bit from the CBS "keep it simple" formula, but it's really a satisfying watch I must say, the most successful J. J. Abrams vehicle since LOST imo.

Many many happy returns!
