Yeah - that's the bottom line. I don't listen to the last "Deluxe" version much, so ... I'm still on the fence.

oh, well...............ONE of these days I'm gonna win this thing!

Saw a very good show at the John Berggruen Gallery in downtown SF yesterday. It's a 45 Year Retrospective of A-list art that he assembled from pieces loaned by his clients. Very impressive. LOOKING BACK: 45 YEARS

Thanks everyone! Had a nice day yesterday ... and now I don't have to "worry" about it again for another year!

I had no plans to get this latest release because I have the 2002 "Deluxe Edition" RVG 2-disk Impulse release which is described as the "definitive edition" (for what that's worth). Honestly, I'm not all that concerned about missing out on a couple of additional alt takes, if that's the only difference. But if the audio is significantly improved, that's another matter altogether.

I used to save all my catalogs, but decided to recycle them when we moved 5 years ago.

A couple of weeks ago I went to the Whitney Museum in NYC. In the bookstore I saw a display of Mosaic Armstrong and Ellington boxes in support of their show "Archibald Motley: Jazz Age Modernist." I thought that was pretty hip of them. I wonder if they worked up a deal with Mosaic for that.

Got mine yesterday. Kind of sad to see Selects and Singles reduced to one page each. I also noticed on the cover it says: "Annual Edition: 2015"

Ottawa 70

There's a website called the Internet Archive that has a page called the "Wayback Machine." You can search for old websites that the organization has been archiving for many years. You might give that a try.

His version of Sconsoloto is great! On this album - worth picking up, for sure.

He does an exceptional job with that tune!

He did a couple Brazilian albums in the 80's And also: "Brazil Song (Cancoes Do Brazil)" in '84

Professional production complete Opeth concert. Sounds like they got themselves a Melotron.

Thanks, Jim. Yep, that guy has some chops, that's for sure. "Dusty Ciggaar"? Really?

I think I just figured it out. You CAN just paste the link, but you then NEED to hit "Enter".

I can't seem to get YouTube videos to display. Anybody else having this problem?

Eddie Jefferson anyone??

Sounds interesting - thanks, Steve!

Didn't Jim say the site was re-indexing VERY slowly? Sounded like it was going to take several days to complete. Maybe that's the current problem.

Mark Murphy - absolutely!

It's like anything else. Some vocalists can do it, others can't. You might as well ask: "Drum solos: Do they please?"

Considering it was in the Sports Section, I thought it was pretty good.

The newest album by Swedish band Dungen is pretty good. I would say about 1/2 of it sounds very Soft Machine-like.
