Bought tix today for Drive-By Truckers/Sturgill Simpson at the Fillmore in November. Should be a great show - both have excellent new albums out.

Lot 51 Jimi Hendrix/ Original Valve Recording

Whew..........glad I already ordered it.

See if the reception changes when the light is on or off. I read that cordless phones can cause interference, too. Especially if your router is next to the base.

Is your Wi-Fi router near a halogen light? That can cause interference, too. I found that out from personal experience. Once I moved it to a different part of the room, everything seemed to work much better.

Great - thanks!

Good pick up. It's one of my favorite Mosaics. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I believe I will. I've had my eye on that set for a long time, and had previously ruled out getting the CDs issued by Candid themselves. Looking at Cuscuna's feedback profile, there has been a lot of activity from him on ebay lately. Worth keeping an eye on bluenotesounds. Some of the sets auctioned today were also on sale earlier this month. Is it "bluenotesound" or "bluenotesounds"? I searched for both and came up empty.

BN.com has Criterion sets for 50% off through 7/28. This includes the new "A Hard Days Night" set!

Ordered both. Can't wait!

Good one!

Some nice comments by Carla Bley and Ratzo Harris here: CHARLIE HADEN (1937-2014)—ONE OF THE GREATEST

He's playing at Candlestick Park here in SF on Aug 14. Significant because it was where the Beatles last performed live in public, and will be the last concert at the park before they tear it down. Not going, though. It sold out VERY fast and is VERY expensive.

this exists as excellent sounding japanese Vinyl release.....better than nothing ..... I have the Horo vinyl, but don't have a way to play it anymore.

Saw Ben Allison last week at Birdland. It was an enjoyable show, but unfortunately not as adventurous as I had hoped. He had a great drummer who's making a splash in NYC and headlining his own shows at the VV this week - Rudy Royston. Keep an eye out for this guy!

Unfortunately, I don't buy vinyl anymore. Hopefully CDs will come along eventually. . As usual, I would love to get a digital version of this: Max Roach - The Loadstar

The Criterion box also contains the films (and complete performances), "Jimi Plays Monterey" and "Shake! Otis at Monterey" which are worth the price of the DVD set alone. Agree with Felser that Monterey might be a more significant cultural landmark than Woodstock. AFAIK it was the first ever feature length rock concert film.

Just got back from NYC where I saw the "Degenerate Art" exhibit at the Neue Gallery on 5th Ave. Very interesting and informative about the Nazi's campaign to demonize all art that didn't conform to their 'standards'.

If it's the Criterion DVD box, that's definitely worth getting for all of the extra footage not in the original film. The CD box is great, too. I guess it depends on if you want to watch it or listen. Get BOTH!

I use it a lot, but it's imperfect to say the LEAST.

That's a shame. RIP, Pete! I haven't been there for MANY years, but have fond memories of the shows I saw. It always makes me feel good that it's still down there on the coast. I hope someone keeps it going.

Max - disk 7

Good to know on BOTH. Thanks!

I've never been that familiar with Akiyoshi/Tabakin, so I checked out the clips on the Select today. GREAT stuff! I think I'm going to have to get it. Probably the Tony Williams, too, although I have a couple of the CDs and the others on vinyl.

The new season has been announced and tix went on sale to members today. As usual, a pretty wide-ranging schedule. Check it out here: SFJAZZ 2014-15 Season Today I grabbed seats for the SFJAZZ Collective [the Music of Joe Henderson], The Cookers, Brian Blade Fellowship, and Ravi Coltrane (w/Special Guests) [John Coltrane's A Love Supreme 50th Anniversary Celebration]. I'm sure I'll pick up other shows as the season rolls along.
