Many many more happy happy ones!

If you're not gung ho on Koln I don't think you'll be too crazy about Sun Bear. I'm in the opposite camp: When the Bremen-Lausanne set came out on lp it blew my mind, Koln did me further in, and I'm a huge fan of Jarrett's solo piano concerts. Sun Bear is among the best of the concerts, but if you're bothered by the "singing" or just not that into Koln, skip it.

I got the Wes Montgomery at a reasonable price in a sale from Concord a while back. Seems that it was available from them until recently, which would explain why it hasn't been "blown out" by wholesalers. Maybe if there were sets left that Concord purged from the warehouse we'll see some show up very cheap soon. I think the Bill Evans Riverside went out of print and was never cut out and sent off to distributors. It's been gone for some time, and is a collectible rarity these days. I'd love to have one but I have all the music on separate cds and won't pay huge prices for a set.

Well, I have the box, but ordered two for gifts for next Xmas or so. We'll see if I get them.

There's this thread: The Amy is a great Select, music and sound are killer.

Reminds me. .. I need to go see Jim Cullum's excellent band again soon!

A sort of schizo viewing for me, alternating between: And:

Saw this with a friend who really wanted to see it. Didn't seem like a Holmes movie to me at all. Feh.

R I P Gigi! DAMN!

I've listened to this courtesy of a blog. Um. . . .Totally forgettable in my opinion. Doesn't do much for me at all. But. . .if it floats any boats, let them sail!

Many many happy returns CA!

I picked up a copy of Humpty at that price too. . .not great that it's already discounted. Interesting novel. Bits used later in SF novels.

I love the non SF novels Dick poured so much of himself into in the fifties, and this is one of the best-written of those. It is bleak and in ways depressing. This to me is a testament to his writing skills, because the situations and characters are not hapy and not going to happy places.

I believe that the redbook layer of the SACD is a new remastering for that release. I'm one of those who enjoys the RVG series, and I like that one. The SACD is also very nice. The K2 is very good as well, I play it less, I'm less fond of the K2s as others seem to be. I don't think you would be unhappy with any of these unless you're an RVG edition "hater."

Went halfway through the Chandler works this summer. Need to get to the other half. One of my alltime favorite things is to be in the middle of one of his novels.

Also, bass solos were removed for the cd version (?) Sigh. Ah well.

Yeah . . .but the cd doesn't have the stuff restored back into these lps! :unsure:

Dave, You are a funny man. I'm almost completely caught up, but saving on shipping is cool.

Again, I say there was a great possibility of great music here. Trane may have envisioned Wes playing a rhythmic role such as a second bassist might, or the way that Benson did briefly in Miles Davis recordings. And I think you could be surprised at how Wes would rise to the occasion to solo or contribute to heads on the material this group was working with. I can imagine it as exciting and working. Love to hear it one day.

I don't think the Family has access to this tape.

Soon we get to see Ridley Scott reinventing. . . Robin Hood.

I think I'm just watching it for the "Lee Harvey Oswald" character Yves Adele Harlow (Zuleikha Robinson)
