    There was the lawsuit against Herb Cohen, one against the Grandmothers, the Royal Albert Hall... I think there were more: Rykodisc?

    Don't forget how many lawsuits FZ participated in.
  3. Dead & Company at Citi Field (2 nights).
  4. I remember Bob Belden posted "Politician" on his website many years ago.
  5. Anthony Braxton from Amazon mp3: Composition 363B+, $0.89 Quartet (Mestre) 2008, $1.98 Quartet (Santa Cruz) 1993, $3.96 2 Compositions (Ensemble) 1989/1991, $2.97
  6. An appreciation in WSJ.
  7. Two thoughts: 1) Amazon.com. A quick search revealed many replacement batteries such as: https://www.amazon.com/Outecc-Samsung-GALAXY-T4000E-T2105/dp/B0118UBB80/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467084330&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+galaxy+7+replacement+battery 2) Contact Samsung. I'm sure they have a customer service office in Tokyo that you could call.
  8. Do your speakers have midrange cones?
  9. Just noticed on eMusic: the Felsted box on Fresh Sound, $6.49 members, $9.99 non-members. See: http://www.emusic.com/album/various-artists/the-complete-stanley-dance-mainstream-jazz-recordings-1958-1959/16517235/
  10. The singer is doing the tapping. I did not know of the singer, but she was of enough historical importance to merit a New York Times obituary upon her passing. Another oddity about the recording is that there are two pianos.
  11. We just saw The Man Who Knew Infinity. Excellent movie, highly recommended. Somehow they took a story about mathematicians and created a compelling, watchable movie that doesn't insult the viewer's intelligence. Great acting in all roles, but especially (for me) Jeremy Irons. The movie touches on themes that should be compelling to jazz fans: the ineffable nature of genius, spirituality vs. rationality. Very well done.

    Frank Zappa Laurel Canyon House on Market for $5.4 Million. Check out the legal infighting amongst the family.

  14. Latest update. Apple now has the 3rd generation Apple TV for $69, so I bought one. It has an optical out, so I'm looking for powered speakers with an optical in. The Vanatoo Transparent One has some outrageously good reviews, but I've never heard of the brand. There's also the similarly-priced Klipsch R-15PM. Klipsch still has a great reputation, even though they've been owned for awhile by Logitech.
  15. This is an actual LP. Pressing is from the GRT days. If someone here has the Argo LP, it'd be easy to tell within a minute whether side 2 leads off with a false start. But I have no idea why anyone would rearrange the order for a later pressing. Side 1 seems accurate.
  16. Thanks for that help, Mike. I've analyzed side 2 using Amadeus Pro software, and have concluded that, at least for Cadet LPS-637, the actual sequence on side 2 is as follows: The Moody One (False Start) The Moody One Brother Yusef All The Things You Are Yvonne There She Goes. A false start is a false start, so that's pretty obvious. Brother Yusef has Moody playing arabic-sounding flute. ATTYA is self-evident. The last two are based on matching the timings to both the LP back cover and what Mike posted above. No idea why they got the sequence wrong.
  17. Does anyone here have the Argo pressing?
  18. Does anyone know the correct sequence of titles on side two of Cadet LPS-637? The jacket lists side 2 as follows: There She Goes; All The Things You Are; Brother Yusef; Yvonne; The Moody One (False Start); and The Moody One. On my LP, the first track definitely has a false start and the last track does not.
  19. Surprised no one's really tackled track #9 yet...
  20. This was sort of the "oddities of the Internet" before the Internet came along. It matched what the National Enquirer reported before they switched to celebrities. Weird things around the world, brutal and horrid behavior, strange customs and peoples, etc. http://www.avclub.com/article/imondo-canei-1962-65270
  21. Grammy-winning songwriter, producer and guitarist Lincoln Wayne "Chips" Moman, who wrote and produced hits for Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, B.J. Thomas, Dusty Springfield and many others, died at a hospice facility in his hometown of LaGrange, Georgia, on Monday, one day after his 79th birthday.

  22. Yes.
  23. A relatively inexpensive way to explore Elvin's BN work is to spring for the download on iTunes of "Elvin Jones - The Capitol Vaults Jazz Series." This is the Mosaic box @ $29.99 for the (legit) download. https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/capitol-vaults-jazz-series/id716174257
  24. Just finished listening to Paris 10/27/90. Very nice; disc 3 has a wonderful vibe about it. Bruce Hornsby was a great fit for them. https://archive.org/details/gd90-10-27.sbd.braverman.9373.sbefail.shnf
