No longer in that category. . . .

When it comes to Duke, a phrase pops up: "It's all good."

Favorite movies about relationship mistakes anyone? I favor "Open Your Eyes"/"Vanilla Sky."

I actually didn't mean to imply this was unusual. I just realized over time I was deceived because my line of questioning left a loophole! That was the only relationship I ever had that a woman cheated on me with another person of either gender.

Okay here's one big mistake I made: I was not specific enough in my line of questioning and was deceived rather cleverly. My first big relationship, lasted over a year, was pretty intense, suddenly started getting rather weird. My tomboy naturally so beautiful girlfriend suddenly started wearing makeup and suddenly her outings with a girlfriend or two seemed more important than my plans and I began to suspect she was seeing someone else. So after some circuitous verbal maneuvering that wasn't very successful I did confront her and asked her if she was seeing another guy. Well, she was very very convincing and I believed truthful in her denial, and became fairly attentive to me for a spell and I was lulled into a brief lack of suspicion. See she was being truthful. . . because she was seeing another woman! Within a month she had moved out and on to that relationship (and a series of others for quite soem time).

Thanks for the headsup Augustin!

I once made a mistake by getting into a particular relationship. Luckily, I was booted out pretty quickly.

According to Blu-Ray.com this set will NOT be on cd but WILL BE also available on dvd. Check out this video preview!

I would think that Miles would be crazy about her and believe he was. . . look at how much in some ways they resemble each other!

The favorite among those I have are the Rudd Herbie Nichols volumes.

Other Young releases also have imo great sound. Was just listening to Freedom the other day, and really felt the sound was good, and the second cd of the archive series presents the sound of Young and his instruments with a wonderful clarity.

Well. . . in Japan they manufacture and distribute, yes, but not necessarily in the US, at least not in the past, even the recent past. I think Mosaic may be a bit reluctant to "go there" as there have been numerous cd issues worldwide, and Fresh Sounds seems ready to continue to pump out releases . . . . Mosaic may feel the market for their versions has been diluted. Or maybe not!

Alex, welcome from one Helen Merrill and jazz fan to another. Thirty five or so years ago I spent not enough time in your wonderul city, and I will never forget the experience. Please post and enjoy the community here.

I find the sound of the CIMPs I have fascinating. Like JazzShrink above I feel they come close to reproducing the live sound of the instruments and there are gradations of timbre etc. here that aren't found in many other recordings. It's closer to what I would like to feel is "audiophile" sound, accurate and real sound.

Larry, I'm very sorry to hear of your wife's passing. I lost my wife six months ago as well, and I may know somewhat of your feelings and condition. For me, music has remained a solace, but I believe this is in part because for two years fighting Helen's cancer I was denied the comfort of my collection and the relaxed listening that had been a cornerstone of my wellbeing. During that time we spent more than a full year living away from home near a cancer center, and I was working from out of town as much as I could to keep my job afloat, and taking care of my wife as best as I could through the treatments and recoveries. Music just slid aside and listening on an iPod or a laptop was just perfunctory and mechanical. Losing her I was at least returned to my home and it was a slow start but music began to fulfill for me again it's role of stimulant and soulfood. On top of that I've bought instruments and pursued them with more joie de vivre than before. It has been a gradual process that I hope starts for you soon.

Many many more happy happy ones Chuck!

I watch movies all the time, in great sound, but two channel sound. I have a universal Sony player that has been modified to have a tubed amplifier output by my favorite audio designer, and I have tubed preamplifier, monoblocked tube amplifiers and radial dispersion loudspeakers from this same designer. I didn't used to really care about movie sound but now that I have this wonderful sound I really feel it makes a difference. I have a fantastic HDTV now though, and I will probably get myself a Blu-Ray player, not just for Neil Young archive volumes, but that's a plus, but for the improved video output.

It will mean buying a Blu-Ray player which could replace your dvd player in your system. I don't have one. . . but I probably would really like to have this first Neil Young volume. . . .

Theoretically you'll have much better sound. Definitely you'll save a lot of shelf space!

Right I've known about these collages for some time. And the almost hypergraphic writing of letters from dressing and hotel rooms around the world, and great writing in those as well. The man was a full blown well rounded genius.

Good for you! I don't think everyone wants his entire catalog and many of us don't do lps these days. Hey, I'm not incredibly excited by this set, but I can see why Mosaic wants to do it and I think it will be as successful as their other Verve sets.

Well, there's no Mosaic OP title, and I can see the appeal of having one. And this is a good choice of "theme" and the music that will be found on this set is bound to be quite nice. (What I know of the material is good!)

Okay, another week and this week. . . "Weather Report Suite" from Grateful Dead, Winterland '73 box, Sunday night. A very fine performance of a very favorite composition.

Well said BT!

Yeah, a Hohner! (A Homer?)
