Herbie this afternoon - w/Vinnie Colaiuta, Lionel Loueke, Marcus Miller, Zakir Hussain

June 28, Great American Music Hall, SF - $22!

Saw them a couple of times at SXSW in Austin in March. Definitely worth seeing if they come your way.

Busy couple of weeks coming up: Sunday - Herbie Hancock (w/Vinnie Colaiuta, Lionel Loueke, Marcus Miller) Tuesday - Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger (Sean Lennon)/Syd Arthur May 30 - Marc Ribot: Ceramic Dog (w/Shahzad Ismaily & Ches Smith) May 31 - Marc Ribot: Los Cubanos Postizos (w/guest, David Hidalgo)

Tomorrow night. Read a nice review in the NY Times and locally in the SF Chron. Looks like Cyro WILL be with the band, too.

Don't know, but I have tickets to see him in a couple of different formats at SFJazz at the end of the month.

Ordered the basic Paperwhite on the current $99 sale. Looking forward to getting it tomorrow!

Steve Backer, a Force for Jazz at Major Labels, Dies at 76

I'm seeing them here in SF on Friday. Really looking forward to it! I don't think Cyro Baptista is with them on this leg of the tour, though.

This coming Friday: The Nels Cline Singers (w/Scott Amendola and Trevor Dunn)

The recent passing of Steve Backer reminded me of Threadgill's Mosaic box. I never picked it up, but I think I have to put it back on my radar. It's a little pricey, but I'm SURE it's well worth it. But........no hurry, I guess. [This set is on backorder and is expected to be available in the second half of 2014]

I picked this up a few years ago but haven't listened to it much. I think it's time to pull this set out of "mothballs" and spend some quality time with it.

I'm starting to think I need to get the Jazz Crusaders box. It's already Running Low, and I think interest will increase with Wayne's passing.

Curtis Amy Select - disk 2

Agreed. Haven't seen that shot before. I didn't think to compare it to the Mosaic. That doesn't have "Jazz Corner", either, since it's a studio-only set. Not true. The box contains: Big Beat Night in Tunisia Like Someone in Love Meet You at the Jazz Corner of the World, Vols. 1 & 2 Freedom Rider Roots & Herbs Witch Doctor Yeah, right - it DOES have "Meet You...". I guess I was thinking of some other set(s).

I got the iPhone App and also the PC program, but am seriously thinking of getting a basic Paperwhite. Seems convenient and would be nice for reading on the couch or in bed. I don't need all the bells and whistles of the more expensive version or a full-on tablet, though.

Anybody know anything about this album? I just noticed it on eMusic. The label is ID'd as "Jazz Dynamics / The Orchard" There are 54 tracks on 5 "disks" for $6.49 (!!)

I think it's great! Not muted at ALL.

Andrew Hill Select (16) - disk 2

See above ...

Hi, Zan. You probably don't remember me, but see my post above. -Brooks

Agreed 100%.

Worst packaging design ... EVER!
