  2. I've finally started exploring the Max Mosaic box. It's been sitting on my shelf for years and I never really spent any time on it. Top shelf stuff - glad I've had it waiting for me.
  3. Very affordable, too! 8CDs/$60 (or $80, signed & numbered) I might have to get that.
  4. 32 minute interview on disk 2.
  5. They're doing a show WITH Jason Moran at SFJazz next month. Jason Moran with Randy Weston & Billy Harper
  6. SF Jazz Collective tonight. It's their 10th anniversary, and they're playing selections from their entire repertoire through the weekend. Current lineup: Miguel Zenón, alto saxophone David Sánchez, tenor saxophone Avishai Cohen, trumpet Robin Eubanks, trombone Warren Wolf, vibraphone Edward Simon, piano Matt Penman, bass Obed Calvaire, drums
  7. Not exactly music, but I'm seeing Christopher Guest in a discussion format on Tuesday. Thursday: SF Jazz Collective
  8. I'm sure it's good. Will have to check it out.
  9. Funny how the board software cuts off the thread title here: "Who was the model on the cover Pearson's The Sweet Ho ..."
  10. I usually wait to buy CDs at shows when the artist has a new album out.
  11. Gonna have to catch THAT!
  12. For the life of me, I don't understand why anyone would want to bring back cassettes. They were always an inferior recording medium.
  13. I was at Montreux in 1978, and there were a fair number of albums that came out of that festival. I honestly don't remember which shows I saw, but pretty sure I saw some of the Xanadu sets (there were 4 albums), and also Muhal Richard Abrams.
  14. Straight Street is a keeper, for sure. Not a leader date, but certainly one of his greatest sessions.
  15. From last night's benefit: Review: Cosby charms fans at SFJazz benefit
  16. She lives (part-time, I think) here in SF and is somewhat of a regular at a restaurant across the street from me. I've only seen her once, a couple of months ago, as she was heading out the door.
  17. VERY impressive! Lotsa great ones, guys. Here are a few I was at - I'll try to think of others.
  18. Just saw John Beasley's MONK'estra at SFJazz. Solid and entertaining big band evening, and an enthusiastic crowd. Can't complain ...

    Andy Bey

    Nice review of the new album in the WSJ. Andy Bey Takes It Slow
  20. Big shock! I haven't seen him recently, but saw him a number of times in the 70s-80s. Always a very classy player and composer. Some of his greatest albums have already been ID'd by you guys - Eastern Rebellion(s), Magic Triangle, Blakey, etc.
