Don't know - I only have Vol. 2.

Back in the day used to listen to their albums religiously and recite lines with friends and roomates constantly. Haven't listened to them in too long a time, so I don't remember a lot of the great details, but I'm sure if I stuck a record on the turntable they would all come rushing back to me like a hot kiss on the end of a wet fist. I did manage to see them about 5 years ago and they were still hilarious.

Yeah, I've had that problem for about a week. I looked at the eMusic message board and there are some discussions about it. If you refresh the screen that you're trying to order from, it should work OK. Clearing your cache couldn't hurt, either. Annoying, for sure ...

Saw him last month with the Overtone quartet - they were on FIRE! Nothing to worry about ...

have a GREAT one, FREEdEEEEEEEEiEEEEEEEEEEcEEEEEEEEkEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know you will.

Like I said, it may just need more listening and I'll certainly check those tunes out.

I DL'd it from Amazon when it was $2.99 a week or so ago. Can't seem to get through it, though. All the songs sound the same to me: ultra-high energy, jackhammer drums, insane guitar EFX, crazy stop-and-go rhythms, and DLR vocals. Sounds like a recipe for success, but ultimately there seems to be no song structure.......at all. Maybe I just need to give it more time.

Here's another Amazon bargain - $3.99 Nirvana - Nevermind [Deluxe Edition] 2 "disks" Total Length: 2:26:52

I just sent an email to Mosaic about our discussion and included the discography that Brownie put together. Considering the variety of labels and difficulty obtaining rights from them, I doubt it would be possible for them to pull it off. But the idea is out there, anyway ... I also suggested that maybe there's some additional unreleased material that is controlled by the Roach estate or Billy himself that they could add to the mix.

I was also fortunate to see that group (w/Calvin Hill), at the Keystone Korner in '77. It was my first exposure to Billy Harper and have been a HUGE fan ever since. I have a copy of "The Loadstar", but this album must be great, too. Somehow, whatever material exists of this group needs to get released ... hel-loooooooo, Mosaic???

Especially players who's tenor work I really like. For the record, I try not to level that opinion as a criticism of the player in question - but it definitely is a preference of mine. Exactly.

Like Aggggggggggggg said, I think he may have just migrated to FB for the most part.

Not a huge soprano fan myself. Especially when it's an artist who's tenor work I really like.

Thanks I have been waiting for a decent price on that one. I missed the special they had around the Holidays. Those were snapped up. It's now $39

Listening to Outback right now. Just noticed how closely "Bleeding Orchid" is to "500 Miles High". Joe comes REALLY close to playing that theme on several occasions.

That's not bad, actually - pretty commersh, but not in a bad way.

I'm not much of a Pink Floyd fan, and feel like Dark Side has been burned into my brain from massive over-play, but this is too good to pass up on Amazon. $2.99 2 "disks" - Total Length: 1:37:52 The Dark Side Of The Moon - Experience Version (2011 - Remaster)

A second for "Skate Board Park"! Agree with Daniel's take here, too.

I've seen the Cookers a couple of times. A must-see whenever possible! Saw Holland's Overtone Quartet last night. Another must-see - they know how to cook, too. And for anyone who hasn't experienced Eric Harland yet, he's a monster. With this lineup was able to show his composition skills as well. Very much a five-tool player (to mis-use baseball-speak).

I love the smell of bargains in the morning. Charlie don't surf!

I must have gotten a one-day sale or something, but I just ordered "Apocalypse Now - 3 disk Full Disclosure Edition" Blu-ray for $18.49 from Amazon. It's already reverted to a more normal price of $39.99.

Friday: Dave Holland Overtone Quartet Dave Holland bass Chris Potter saxophones Jason Moran piano Eric Harland drums

Ordered the Bowie and Threadgill Black Saint/Soul Note boxes tonight. Good deals, even with the $10+ in shipping/handling fees & taxes.
