Botti was also in the Top 50 "most beautiful people" in People Magazine

I think "Jazz Masters" was a japanese series of artist compilations (Fantasy material) from the late 80's.

This page mentions the station: http://www.shout.net/~jmh/articles/woody.html

Now the CDU website says "Release Date Not Determined" http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=6938847 Some other sites say October 25 is the release date. So it could be that the set has been delayed again ...

Same here. The latest order status email from CD Universe (9/21) still said "future release 9/27"), but on my online order status it is "not determined".

Good Although the SonyBMG copyprotection doesn't seem to be nearly as problematic as the EMI Europe protection.

I don't know if it had already been discussed in the forum, but apparently EMI will release copyprotected CDs in the US too (announcement in June). http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/06/21/em...opy_protection/

I had googled for more info on those sessions recently but couldn't find much: http://www.sa-cd.net/showthread/7284/7304

The individual CDs have been remastered by Rudy Van Gelder and sound much clearer. Generally, the RVGs of pre-1955 Blue Note material (Monk, Miles, Bud, Brownie) show the biggest improvement in the reissue series.

CD Baby will send a new copy

Hi Jim, I will send an email to CD Baby tonight. Thanks for the generous offer, but I will not ask you to refund when the shop or the postal service is responsible for the problem.

I still have not been able to listen to the CD because my CD Baby order (shipped 8/15) still has not arrived yet. None of my 50+ US orders in the past 5 years has been lost in the mail, I hope it isn't the case with this very special CD.

Are you using a vintage 15" monitor (not flatscreen)? The minimum standard today is a 17" monitor or 15" flatscreen, which use a 1024x768 resolution, wide enough for all websites

Thanks BFrank! I did not get an email from the forum. Given the small number of today's posts, most SH forum users seem not to know how to access the board.

In the previous years, the Blue Note calendars appeared in July.

Bill Evans' "Symbiosis" is also a rare one.

Amazon.de has the new Connoisseurs for 10 Euro only (normally Conns are 18 Euro). They are copyprotected as usual.

My girlfriend an I are big Skype users. I've saved hundreds of Euros on international calls, by skyping with her in Malta instead of phoning. Now she lives with me and uses Skype to keep contact with her relatives and friends. SkypeOut also saved me a lot of money. When I'm traveling abroad, in Germany, Belgium or Switzerland, my girlfriend calls me with SkypeOut to my hotel room number. That way, one hour phone calls cost 1 Euro instead of 10. Short international phone calls, to book a flight or a hotel, cost me an average of 2 Euro-Cent per call. I find using Skype more comfortable than a normal phone, because of the headset. And one can also easily exchange messages (for example internet links) or files with the chat function while speaking.

Presidential impersonator fools France's soccer players An impersonator pretending to be President Jacques Chirac asked France's national soccer players to put their hands over their hearts during the national anthem before a World Cup qualifying match at Ireland.

Excellent recording, excellent remastering. I compared the new K2 reissue to the german ZYX 24bit remaster (one of their better efforts). The K2 sounds smoother and less bassy than the ZYX. More natural overall. BTW, the new Monk "Alone in San Francisco" K2 reissue sounds amazing too.

Ogg Vorbis is a sound compression format like MP3. There are plugins available for most software players to play the .ogg files. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogg

I haven't checked the recent prices on Ebay, but in 2004 the winning bids were usually between $150 and $200.
