HELL YEAH IT"S CHRIS WOODS ON FLUTE GODDAMN WHY DIDN"T HE BRING HIS SAX!

R, I definitely see your point about the self-indulgence in the sense that I think neither movie needed Tarantino as even a minor actor, and I wish he'd stayed off screen. But. . . I think the lengths were fine and I was never bored and I did like the way that the movies played out. I MIGHT have been bored with some of the "girl talk" aspects of the second movie (though I'm glad he took the time to let that part unfold) if it weren't for the fact that in the first half I was puzzling at what Tarantino thought was "like Austin" in the dialog and characterization---that really fell flat and I was involved in puzzling it out.

Wow. I saw the previews and thought. . . "Okay, I've seen more than enough."

Okay. . . I'm laughing!

You should paste in the url right there where it asks you, if I think the window you get is what I think it is. . . . In the "Add Reply" window there's that image of a picture, select that, a window pops up with a place to past the url, paste it, and when the post is launched you should have an image. Or. . . in the body of the post type This is the way to manually do it with code.

Personally I doubt that he has "redone the entire catalogue" by any means. I think he's done these in batches and they release them in batches. Long life to him, and I hope this continues. I would prefer all these Connoisseurs to be released as RVGs for example. I really enjoy these remasterings. (It's just a personal preferrence!)

Okay. . . I don't remember anything along those lines. I think at that time when they used "soon" they had no clear plan of what was to come. . . . I would wager that the shows without video will come out on Dagger. . . .

Yes, but wasn't that also totally different management of the material? Was it the family that pulled it out of print? It's likely that some of these will come out soon. . . Atlanta probably as a DVD.

Many more many more many more!

Will do! Actually, don't forget there are TWO Selects!

I think that Jim has identified it correctly, it's the Royal Albert Hall concert (which is finally going to be coming out officially, according to what I've heard) material on that tape. NOT his last concert by a long shot.

So far my favorite moments are a few I've forgotten about over the years like the accordian and celeste!

A happy birthday toast!

What's the deal with those Jazz Band recordings? Are they all radio transcriptions? What's the source? I briefly listened to clips of a Buddy Rich set supposedly recorded in the 80's, but sounded more like the 40's or 50's. I don't have many Jazz Bands, but those that I have are what they say they are, and they are radio transcriptions.

Sad sad news. Andrew was just a handful of months older than my own parents, who thankfully are healthy and here. Andrew's music will always be a part of my life. Long life to Hill music!

I wouldn't take that bet! Wow. That's a lot of work he's done.

Elvin recorded earlier than those Sonny sides! I agree that the seeds of the later Elvin were there in the earlier Elvin. But he did "bloom" to my ears just before and just within the Coltrane sphere of influence. (Maybe that's just how I hear it or want to hear it).

My ten foot pole is in the shop. . .

Wow, Jazz Hour and Jazz Band. Good news! Thanks for the heads up SS.

Many more happy ones!

A really good read is Milt Gabler's long interview about Commodore Records that was included in one of the Mosaic sets, and is available in a big book called "The Jazz Reader."

Put me down in the "no need for guns" camp. . . .I've fired a rifle several times in Africa as a teenager in a hunting manner and haven't ever felt the need to own or use one since. But as a citizen of the nation that is the biggest arms seller and constant promoter of weaponry, covert intrigue and war, I don't expect things to change. This recent shooting spree. . . it's so saddening. Especially with the evidence of such premeditation and preparedness. It's as if the planned this, prepared his claim to fame (in his eyes) package, started with a few murders, decided that he could do more, maybe even enjoy more, mailed off his package and went for broke. Chilling. And since he achieved the sort of attention he wished, I think seeds are planted for more . . . although the chance of spontaneous sprouting is high without the attention paid to his package.

I know it's a shocker, but my competely unbiased opinion is to get it....IF you like pre war small group jazz. I think I mentioned when the set came out to start on te 3rd or 4th cd if you were not familiar with Bunny...heck, why not dig up old berigan thread????? http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...&hl=berigan I don't want either Berigan to ever go OOP. Me either!
