Man, Wayne gets no respect, even in a Jimi thread !

I do.

"Band of Gypys" is the ultimate for me, but then I'm a huge Jimi and Billy Cox fan, not really a Noel Redding fan. The new "In the West" (which differs in content from the previous "In the West" lp) is very good, as is the two cd "BBC Sessions" (live in studio, despite the fake stereo). The latest Monterrey release is a good one, but might as well get that on Blu-ray or DVD. The second disc of the two cd collection "Voodoo Child" is very good, but doesn't all feature Noel Redding. All my other favorites are with Billy Cox. . . .

51! Be careful on the road!

I usually choose as an avatar something that I use that I'm very interested or invested in such as a Fender guitar, amp or string, or a picture of the model motorcycle I drive etc. I see so many men using beautiful women as their avatar and I both understand. . .and don't understand that.

Just watched the latest Longmire. Thanks for the headsup on Person of Interest Season 2 being out, ordered the Blu-ray; really liked this season.

I have them all so, yeah. It's very good. I like them all a lot. . . well maybe except for "Deerhead's Inn."

The Woody Shaw Muse.

I'm not sure how to explain my irritation with Motian, I just rarely connect with him and something about the way he tunes his kit and maneuvers around it just. . .irks me. It's a personal thing and I think if I weren't a drummer, it wouldn't be much of a big deal, but I really don't enjoy his playing much. I've loved Jack's playing ever since I first heard him (on "Miles Davis at Fillmore.") I bought a Sonor kit 25 years ago just because he plays them.

Really? I'm not that much of a Motian fan (as a drummer he just irks me) and I play that one least often.

"Whisoer Not" IS a very good one. I could also use about three more discs like "Changeless."

Well it's been a long time since "Still Live" and these are three different musicians now with all these additional years of experience. I don't know if you'll like this one as much as the earlier one. I don't really tend to rank recordings. I think I'll play this one a bit more often than a few of the ones this century, but ti's early to tell.

I like this one. The title track is great, and they do "Stars Fell on Alabama," a Teagarden staple I love, and they do it well. I'm a fan of the Trio, and this is one of the really good ones imo.

Finishing up Nikita Season 1, and watching Breaking Bad Season 5 part 1, both on Blu-ray.

Many Happy happy returns!

Yeah, not bad DVD prices. I'm buying these on Blu-ray though, when there's a choice I go with Blu-ray. Jim, Farhad Safinia wrote the screenplay to Apocalypto and worked on the Passions of the Christ (have seen the former not the latter). Then he did Boss. Based on Apocalypto I'd say he has something to say. . . . Looking forward to it.

I'm very likely to like it.

Another possibility to consider, Rotterdam with an edit of "On Green Dolphin Street." http://www.plosin.com/MilesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=671030

Cool. Well, the answer is in those Losin discographic pages.

I've been planning to check it out, and your review has pushed me over the edge into ordering a used copy of the blu-ray. Seems interesting. To be honest what has held me back is that. . .Grammar's voice and some of his mannerisms (especially Fraser era) really remind me of one of my best friends from college. . .and it makes me miss those times with him. If that makes any sense. Thanks for spurring me into an order.

Looks as if it's an abbreviated version of: http://www.plosin.com/MilesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=671106

Sidewinder is speaking with a straight tongue. I'm not sure you'd like it, but listen to the clip and decide. . . .

That's really hard for me to answer. . . as I think these shows (and the accompanying extra material) were uniformly very very good, no one volume really stands out to me as better than another.

There's no Blue Note material in this set. Albums in the set: Muse MR 5058 The Moontrane Muse MCD 5472 CD reissue of above Muse MR 5074 Love Dance Muse MR 5103 Little Red’s Fantasy Muse MR 5139 Concert Ensemble At The Berliner Jazztage Muse MR 5160 The Iron Men Muse MR 5298 In The Beginning… Muse MR 5318 Setting Standards Muse MR 5329 Solid Muse MR 5338 Imagination I don't really know how to label this music. Much of it is sort of mainstream post-hard bop. The Shaw originals I like, he had an interesting way of writing that he presents very well with his sound. The standards are generally played very well too, I like the ballads especially.
