Those are the new iPods with large memory!

More sad news. Death has no mercy in this land.

I think he pioneered new directions in Miles Davis music.

I turn my head one eighty degrees and from this vantage point in my living room I see a piano, three guitars, two electric basses, a bass violin, a kalimba and a kazoo. (Also, thousands of cds, a few hundred lps, and a dozen or so books on music or musicians). That's just one room. For me, music is essential.

Yes, I have it. . . .The second side is nice as well, "Social Call" always pleases.

Monk only appears on the quartet session of this lp, correct?

I haven't received and heard the Conn of this one yet, but I have the lp and I like it. It's not the hardbop Bobby, but it's a very interesting fusion of third stream and Bobby's sound, and I really feel it was a valid statement from him at the time. Eager to hear the Conn.

I don't remember any recurring dreams until I began living with my late wife Helen. She suffered from mental health problems, and she also really believed in dreams as prophetic vehicles in a way. Early on in our life together I literally was sometimes punished for things that "I" said or did in her dreams. And she had dreams that I could and maybe should use to populate horrifying paranoid tv or film scripts or novels. She also talked in her sleep and would jar me awake with some telling phrases. But besides that, after some years together I found myself unwillingly remembering more of my dreams, and I had some recurring dream sequences. I think they were just sort of my mind deleting some information stored up and "overloaded" in two out of three instances. One: liner notes to lp and cd releases, but not REAL ones. Unwritten ones so to speak! Page after page of them streaming through my dreams, sort of in a manner that PKD had some of his pink beam informational visions. Sometimes it seemed I had written them, sometimes they were written by a few members here, sometimes the authors were the usual suspects like Christiern, MC, OK, IG, etc. Two: database dreams. For years I spent many many working hours within a database that was the work order system for our division and kept being expanded into the sort of "omniscient god" of our agency's mission and accounting. I seemed to be one of the one-eyed men among the blind in the agency and kept getting roped deeper and deeper into modifying and evaluating the database functions and data, until finally the agency hired two persons who had spent years working for the database's creator company to take on those roles. I would see screen after screen of this database stream along and intertwine in my dreams. It seemed that domestic activities and my details of my collecting life would be represented in dataviews and reports. It was the closest I've come to a nightmare in a long time outside of what my wife has related to me of some of her dreams. Three: the masks of comedy and tragedy. I have had some recurring dreams where these two masks, usually lying among trashcans in a sort of sixties urban alleyway (probably a memory of the one I used to experience off Sommersett St.(sp?) in Philly) and talking to me, analyzing things happening in my dream and/or life and offering me advice. I was usually chain-smoking cigarettes during these sessions; though I've not smoked in nearly eighteen years, I often smoke in my dreams.

No, I'm just saying what six string said!

Yeah, Marcia is really something. . . but she's not as "advertised!"

That's right. We're not impressed with over the top posts until the first dozen under the top have been posted.

Good work Mr. T!

I was just anticipating an OP bashing as we've had before. There's a lot of good music here.

It's a good un.

Heck, I think the third is as good as any of the first two.

What was it Chuck said? "I just got a chill."? I just got a chill.

Okay, and what I was thinking about was the compilations like "Red Hot Blues" etc. and the R&B box etc.-- those are well chosen compilations that bring to cd a lot of otherwise orhaned 78s.

Just a personal note: those compilations are far from lousy!

I'd disagree stronlgy that all (I almost want to say ANY) of these saxophonists are "better" than Chariie Rouse!

Don't worry, Shawn is very familiar with that material.

Many many more happy ones!

I played the Quartet with Freeman.

Good luck. My copies have been backordered for days.

It definitely is prime Evans; I broke out this box when this thread started for more listening, this is killer stuff, and as you say the sound is fine.
