Doing nothing to the tapes is the cat's meow for many!

I never did have Virtuoso on cd so I bought the new version. Sounds great!

Was automatic for me too! Should have it in a few days.

According to Hoagy Carmichael, "Stardust" was inspired by a solo by Bix. Not sure if there is enough "material" from Bix to qualify.

Many many happy returns Joe!

Ha! As little as I go out, I get pretty darned good seating anyway. Or maybe they just automatically assume I'm Lance's bro without asking!

Hope it was a great one and keep 'em coming!

No one ever asks if I'm related to Louis! I do enjoy sharing his birthday (and Obama's as well). Back in the 'eighties I would occasionally be asked if I were related to Neil Armstrong, especially when it is learned I'm from Ohio. As for Lance, his flame is slowly diminishing here in Austin, where he should be top dog hot shit. It started fading with the Sheryl Crow thing. . . .

Many happy happy returns Vic!

Maybe in twenty years people will stop asking me if I'm his brother.

The packaging is the same format as others in the series, for example the Nat, Ella and OP that I have. The sound, in my opinion, is very good. Very good. I'm really enjoying this set.

Well, the odds are good.

In a slightly more perfect world these would be a Mosaic Select.

No. Looks good!

Many many happy returns!

I missed the premier of Men of a Certain Age this season, and they just rebroadcast it last week, so I'm watching it now. Great show. Felt so sad for Owen when his dad belittled him.

Well, it's good news, how can it be bad? She's lovely and she can play. I bet she's happy. I need to get the new one from Joe.

Alice is one of my very favorite ones.

I haven't seen too many of the films he made this century. I really do enjoy most of his twentieth century films. My real favorite Allen material are the recordings of his nightclub act, and those early books (and other published material.) That is in my opinion genius stuff. I'd be overjoyed to be half that funny and clever and insightful.

Many many happy returns!

I think Pee Wee Russell Plays Pee Wee Russell is one of his BEST. It's worth having, I assure you. And it sounds pretty darned good in this Spanish edition. Go for it! Though not 100 percent positive, I believe that Dot is a Verve/Universal property.

Savoy (Japan, Denon) released a series of remastered mini-lp cds last century, though most of their releases had been jewel case.

Have anotber great one and many happy happy returns!

Nice idea, nice blog!

I wanted desperately to come up with the perfect Bechet, Mezzrow or King Jazz Records joke. . . but it's beyond my grasp!
