It's a good album; I had the LP back in the day. The band: Carlos Ward, alto sax and flute; Ricky Ford, tenor sax; Charles Davis, baritone sax; Dick Griffin, trombone; Abdullah Ibrahim, piano; Cecil McBee, bass; Ben Riley, drums. 11/17/83.

Leonard Cohen?

Thanks for posting this. Farmer was always one of my favorites. That tone! I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert at Columbia University late in his career (1993?). I’ll find the discography very useful.

Not sure it was a scam. Look at the seller's star rating - that'll tell you whether it's a reputable seller. Amazon will give you a range of delivery dates. If you don't get it by the end of the range, you can ask the seller for a refund, which they'll usually give you because they don't want to tick off Amazon. I had something like this happen to me recently. I bought a copy of the Keynote Collection from a seller in Japan via Amazon. It never arrived. I waited until the end of the range (actually a couple of days after that), then asked the seller for a refund, which they promptly gave. What happened to the package? Who knows; not my concern - all I know is that it didn't arrive. I didn't give the seller bad feedback, because I assume it wasn't their fault either.

Same here. I've found drives fail far more often than discs. These days, a perfect failsafe would be a solid state drive. Then you could burn new discs if any fail.

DAT, perhaps? Digital Audio Tape, which had a moment a couple of decades ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Audio_Tape

Here's a link to the download from Amazon. The price seems a bit steep for downloads. https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Maiden-Voyage-Concerts-Angeles/dp/B0752X1MDW/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?s=dmusic&ie=UTF8&qid=1515097847&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=art+pepper+maiden+voyage+sessions But, whoa... iTunes has the Complete Galaxy Recordings box for $59.99. That's a good deal for 16 discs worth of music.

Just finished listening (again) to the whole set. Just beautiful, wonderful music. What Ubu said - Pepper, amazing Milcho Leviev, Tony Dumas, Carl Burnett - such empathy and strength. One of my best purchases of 2017.

It sounds like the drive is going, but not yet completely gone. I wouldn't burn any new discs on it, as the faulty drive might encode errors on them.

The disc drive in your computer may be going. Try an external CD drive for comparison. Amazon has some for around $25.

I recently contributed $50, and will probably continue to do so. But it seems a lot of the air has gone out of the board lately. Too few releases and reissues, members are dying, and I'm not sure how much is left to be said that hasn't already been said. Just looking down the road a couple of years... but for now, I'm still here.

She was a nice person and very passionate about the music. It seemed important to her that she approved of what I was buying. I’ll spin a Grant Stewart disc I bought there in her memory. RIP.

This one works for me:

Right, except the Easy Living you pictured (with the reclining model on the cover) does not contain ATTN. Only the 1990 issue with the watercolor cover has it.

Sorry to hear of your travails. I've always found TV sound to be inadequate. I recently bought a Yamaha soundbar for our Panasonic plasma TV. It's the ATS-1070, which Costco had on sale for $119. Besides the sound, I bought it for its form factor - it's very thin, so it doesn't block the remote receptors on the TV. The sound is great. One button on the remote is "clear voice," to emphasize dialog. You can also switch between "stereo" and "surround" (which is pretty cool coming from a single source). Soundbar or no soundbar, I strongly suggest you go into the audio settings on your TV. It's very possible your TV's output is set for a 5.1 or 7.1 system, which will sound terrible with any other audio setup. Play with all the various options there. It's also possible that some of those settings conflict with settings on your soundbar - you need to experiment with both in tandem. It's very possible you don't need to replace your soundbar. One more thing: if you're having trouble with audio from DVDs, you should also go into the audio settings on your DVD player.

It's at the end...just the same groove as you hear in the last 30 seconds of the GTBU version - it just chugs along for another minute.

Paul Desmond recorded All Through The Night on 9/16/64 (with Jim Hall, Eugene Wright and Connie Kay). As best I can tell, he only recorded it once for RCA. It appears as a bonus track on the "Glad To Be Unhappy" album, with a timing of 5:26. This also appears to be the version on the Desmond/Hall Mosaic. However, I also have this release of Desmond's "Easy Living" album from 1990: All Through The Night was also added here as a bonus track, but the timing here is 6:36! I've compared the two tracks and they are the same performance; the "Easy Living" version just goes on for a minute longer, with the same groove. Note that All Through The Night is not included in the current available version of "Easy Living;" it's only on the 1990 release with the above cover.

Not on the CD box listing at Amazon. Here's what the LP version says: "Part of the vinyl Verve collections, the Dinah Washington boxed set contains a selection of each artist’s best-loved albums on 180g vinyl in sleeves that replicate the original artwork. Dinah Washington was an American singer and pianist, who has been cited as "the most popular black female recording artist of the '50s"." Good to know she was an American singer and pianist. I suppose there's an outside chance the CDs have some additional material, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Nice to see some signs of life from Verve. The first two are being released tomorrow (December 22): Release date February 2; "This 4CD set includes I’ve Got the World on a String, Louis Under the Stars, Louis Armstrong meets Oscar Peterson with bonus tracks for each. Additionally, digital album, A Day With Satchmo, will be available on physical format for the first time. These three Louis Armstrong albums & much more, all recorded during an extraordinary few days in August & October 1957, resulting in some of Pops’ best material, a legendary artist on a legendary label": Release date February 9: And release date February 23; "For the first time, all of Ella & Louis' classic duets are in one place. This 4CD set gathers their timeless three Verve albums newly remastered versions of Ella and Louis, Ella and Louis Again and Porgy and Bess combining them with their eight Decca singles, live recordings from Jazz at the Hollywood Bowl plus several alternates & false starts from the Decca & Verve eras, illuminating their craft & good humor. The set also includes an extensive essay by Ricky Riccardi":

Yeah, try not to pay more than $50 for the CP Records box. As for "Bird Is Free," that's 9 tracks from the Rockland Palace concert. The complete concert, in far better sound and pitch-corrected, can be found on this release:

"For Dave's Picks Vol. 26, we're heading back to the Fall of 1971, when Pigpen was home resting, and Keith was a month into his tenure with the Grateful Dead, for the complete show on 11/17/71 in Albuquerque. This was the Dead's first show in New Mexico, and they welcomed the welcoming New Mexican crowd with some of the best music they played in all of 1971. The 15-song first set is only outdone by the spectacular second set, featuring one of the most powerful and intense versions of "The Other One" you'll ever hear, as well as a "Not Fade Away" that rivals the one played two nights earlier on 11/15/71 in Austin. Add to this that CD 3 is rounded out with half of the 12/14/71 show in Ann Arbor (with Pigpen back on stage!), and the 2018 Dave's Picks Subscribers' Bonus Disc features the other half of 12/14/71, and you have a release featuring two of the best shows of the second half of 1971." - David Lemieux

Here's a mild bargain - the lowest price I've ever seen for this. $73.10 on Amazon:

This is cool! I wonder what else is out there.

Thanks for the reminder. I've donated again.

FYI, I just received a notice that an update is available for my AirPort Express.
