They've finally added a label I can relate to: 1201 Music (aka Black Lion): Earl Hines Art Ensemble More Art Ensemble Albert Ayler More Albert Ayler Etc., etc., etc. A personal favorite: Anyone remember P.D.? He hipped me to this band: Five A Slide Also new to eMusic: The Cool Sound of Pepper Adams (Savoy) Lee Konitz - Live at the Village Vanguard

There is also a chance that the router is defective. After a certain point, it's not really your problem - just bring it back. BTW, I've owned Apple AirPorts for years, and literally never had a problem with it. The new one is a dual-band router, which means you can put a password on one band to protect your files, but leave the other without a password in case you want to share.

Also on July 1: Earle Warren, alto saxophone, 1914 July 2: Richard Wyands, piano, 1928 Ahmad Jamal, piano, 1930

I'm going to punt: my first album with Terri Lyne Carrington was: Also with Johnny Vidacovich, Don Grolnick and Anthony Cox.

My first Keith Jarrett was a beat-up copy of... Keith Jarrett, Jack DeJohnette.

My first Paul Bley album was "The Fabulous Paul Bley Quintet" on America (aka Live at the Hillcrest Club). Ornette, Don Cherry, Charlie Haden, Billy Higgins. Or I could go for the big kahuna: my first album with Giuseppi Logan, Paul Bley, and many many others was "The ESP Sampler." Bought for a big 99 cents at King Karol on 42nd Street in 1970, it had 30-second snippets of most ESP albums.

I used to own the first 3 Monty Python albums. This was before the TV show reached the US. "Another Monty Python Record," "Monty Python's Previous Record," and "Matching Tie and Handkerchief." These were not the audio portions of the TV shows, these were taped in the recording studio. Easily the funniest things I had ever heard, and somehow having to imagine the visuals made them even funnier. Some skits were never on the TV show. They also had certain LP-only attributes: On (I think) "Monty Python's Previous Record" was the skit about the Piranha Brothers, the gangsters who used sarcasm to chilling effect. On record, that skit ended with one gangster saying "Sorry, squier, I scratched the record." And the lead-out groove didn't lead to the label, it just repeated over and over and over, so you heard "Sorry, squier, I scratched the record (click) Sorry, squier, I scratched the record (click) Sorry, squier, I scratched..." etc. "Matching Tie and Handkerchief' had an amazing attribute: 2 side twos! There were 2 parallel grooves and, depending on which one your stylus landed on, you got one of 2 entirely different programs.

June 30: Andrew Hill, piano, 1937 Stanley Clarke, bass, 1951

Where do you see that on the site? Can you please post a link?

My first Pharaoh: John Hicks, Ray Drummond, Idris Muhammad, Eddie Henderson (Idris could get us into disco territory, if anyone's up for it.)

June 29: Ralph Burns, composer, arranger, piano, 1922 Gilberto Gil, singer, 1942

Tasty Slide Hampton arrangements! Also: Dizzy Reece, Kenny Drew, Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen, Art Taylor.

My first Sam Jones: Philip Catherine (guitar) Albert Tootie Heath (drums) Billy Higgins (drums) Sam Jones (bass) Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen (bass)

Hey, Ep1str0phy, based on what you wrote, I think you'd really enjoy Frisell's work on these two very different records: In both cases, he's supporting the leader totally appropriately, and yet retains his own sound and concept. Quite an achievement!

June 28: Jimmy Mundy, arranger, composer, 1907 Pete Candoli, trumpet, 1923

My first Burrell: The 2 LPs (but I got them on the same day). Love those BN cutouts!

Much better... Conte Candoli (tp) Frank Rosolino (tb) Dexter Gordon (ts) Lou Levy (p) Leroy Vinnegar (b) Stan Levey (d). I first had this on a Bethlehem reissue "Stanley The Steamer, featuring Dexter Gordon."

Can you please list EVERY SINGLE PERSON who plays on the album???

Cosby's "Wonderfulness" was one of the first records I owned. "Chicken Heart" was great...Mortimer Snerd...pretty much the whole album. I have an interesting double-album of his called "8:15 12:15." I think it was the only album of his released on Tetragrammaton, which I think he was a part-owner of. Almost a concept album: two sets taped on the same night at a casino in Tahoe...one disc was the early show (8:15, natch), the second was the late show (12:15) which was more "adult." It is odd hearing Cosby trying to talk dirty...I'm not sure he fully got there. Something about a "midnight trampoline..." Someone I knew had an album by Myron Cohen. I've always loved that Borscht Belt-type of humor. And let's not forget the 2000-Year Old Man! Finally, "The First Family." That album was huge...until November 22, 1963.

Ooh, ooh, I've got one: Pat Metheny, Bill Frisell, Joey Baron

Joe Pass: I have about 30 JP albums, and there's a certain sameness to most of them. That lazy tempo, his mediocre attention to the beat, his non-stunning creative improvisations... probably the only one I'd keep is Live At Donte's - he really needed a band to kick him in the butt and wake him up. Joe Henderson - that Milestone box could turn someone off music permanently. Did he have more than 2 solos that he recycled endlessly? The Lou Donaldson Mosaic box was kinda the same album over 8 different albums. I've also never warmed to the Mobley '50's Mosaic box - IMHO, he got much more interesting in the Sixties. Tatum: Yeah, if you're astonished by the virtuosity, he's great. But musically...yawn. Between the solo "masterpieces," the group masterpieces (some of which are very good because of the other musicians, and because it's interesting to hear Tatum in an interactive context), the V-discs, the discs at someone's party, etc, I must have 25 total.

Larry, I think you needed to pull someone from the "Introducing Lee Morgan" album.

Lee Morgan, Curtis Fuller, Booby Hutcherson, Cedar Walton, Ron Carter, Joe Chambers.
