I saw this tour. Was pretty cool. I'm so over Floyd though. Just played to death all around me in the world I seemed to live in in the 'seventies and early 'eighties and I never need to hear them again. Fans of Animals should find Porcupine Tree's "The Incident" pretty interesting.

I think my girlfriend might have contacted them. . . no singlesnet gals have shown up on my laptop for a while. . . .

Hope it's a great one!

Yes Jim, that sound from the tenor! I just love it! I think my first exposure to Teefski was on a Charlie Parker lp on Charlie Parker Records. I mean literally. . . I bought a Charlie Parker lp on Charlie Parker Records, and though it was labeled Bird it was in fact Lateef. Which I did not know for a while, I just knew that it wasn't Charlie Parker! I discovered this when sampling the ABC Impulse Years two lp set in a store and buying that. I can still remember sitting in my then basement listening space hearing those tracks for the first time. Lateef opened up some misical windows for me.

I hope that's true! Many many happy returns!

This can also be pre-ordered via www.amazon.com Going to be great! A wonderful session, reissued with the quality JLH brings to the table!

I've known the Jimmy Joy material for some time from a two lp set on IAJRC that has a bit more than the Jazz Oracle. They are a band that started here at the University of Texas and played in the Austin-San Antonio-Dallas area. People actually talk about them here!

They've really edited out a lot of the info in that article. I think that this set may not happen.

Have a great day!

I agree Paul, and mentioned that to Sue in an email, told her about this thread and about the other jazz bulletin boards and suggested that these would be a good indicator of interest outside of facebook. . . .

Me too.

I dug out my copies of Masters of Jazz Basie Vols. 8 and 9 to listen to today. The Quartet sides are split between these two discs. Man, the sound is excellent on these. Lighter in tonal color perhaps than the HEP, very open and clear and dynamic. The live stuff on 8 is in bad sound on anything I have every heard. The Decca Orchestra sides on these discs are very good, as well as the concluding small group sides from Columbia on Vol. 9.

Wow, Sue is putting something out! Great news!

Decided to re-watch some BG. Such a beautiful looking show on Blu-ray.

Good news Jeff! Keep us informed. . . all the best to your family.

Hope it's a great one! Many happy returns.

A brilliant movie. Joe, I'm not particularly interested in the history of film, but I thought this was excellent film-making.

Yes, of course. I consider it a jazz standard though I guess, it's played so much.

Actually looking at the booklet it's a tune composed by bassist Clint Houston. Not a standard, an original jazz composition.

Yeah, never really has been my thing, and I have a passionate girlfriend and possibly fewer needs. Plus, I'm already watching so many shows. . .I have to just ignore many.

I know, but the different types of fairy people, and the dialog, and the plotlines. . . didn't work for me.

I tried a few episodes of "Lost Girl," didn't work for me. I'm watching "The River" from last night. This is a show, like "American Horror Story" that is so absurd and over the top, touching on so many cliches and worn plots, that I find it somehow oddly amusing.

JSP apparently does both: commission new transfers, and "lift" existing transfers. As far as solid proof for the latter, I believe that the Charlie Patton material was "proven" to be a lift from Revenant and some compensation ordered in court. I've sets from them that are explicitly labeled as remastered either by Davies or his protege Kendall. I've heard a few others. . . wasn't that impressed.
