  1. I bought those large DVD sets of Danger Man and the Prisoner a few years ago for quite a bit more $$. I see you can get both together now for $66.98. Get them!
  2. Great show. Catch them if you can. All-star lineup, that's for SURE.
  3. I remember that, too. Guess he wasn't such a "wizard".
  4. They accidentally sent me a 2nd one of those a month after I ordered one. They said keep it for free. Unfortunately the live concert is a case where the original edited version is better than the complete one. There's a dry flute solo that never seems to end, some guitar wankery and a drum solo that will make you think much more highly of "Toad." Not that much "official" live stuff from that era, so I was looking forward to it. Having said that.......I got an email saying that it was back-ordered and "If for any reason, we are unable to ship any item within 25 days, we'll notify you by e-mail, cancel the backorder, and your account will not be charged." Needless to say, I don't expect to ever see it.
  5. Orrin Evans' Captain Black Big Band Bobby Sanabria Mingus Big Band John Hollenbeck Gerald Wilson is still recording (at 90+ years of age)!
  6. I ordered a 3-disk deluxe version of Jethro Tull's "Stand Up" for $14.99 with the "499sale" code. Also saw that I had credit for 1 free album, too (not sure why). That'll be the end of it for me ...
  7. If you have an eMusic account, you can get it for $2.94
  8. Hold onto your hats, they're selling Lee's 3 disk "Live at the Lighthouse" set for $6.49. Anyone who doesn't already have this, get it..............NOW!
  9. I haven't bought anything from them in quite a while. I'm not surprised they decided to hang it up. I use to buy from BMG quite a bit, but that was in the "old days".
  10. Groundbreaking party today! Great fun including a heartwarming speech by Bobby Hutcherson (looking very frail, but happy to be part of the event). Only 18 months to go ...
  11. And............?
  12. Gena Rowlands thanks you!
  13. If you like Blakey, this is a "must-have"
  14. I have a cassette of this and Vol. 2 that someone (maybe on this board? I don't remember now) made for me a few years ago. There's so little available material of this band, it's worth grabbing anything you can get your hands on.
  15. Don't delay.......do it today!
  16. I only discovered him in the last couple of years, too. I think he's very interesting and talented - not a Trane clone at all. Much closer to Joe Farrell or even Joe Hen, IMO. I have Tenorist. What should I get next?
  17. I haven't been playing much lately myself. Hopefully this will re-energize me. I've already go "blisters on my fingers". I know he wants to sell it, too. You guys have any thoughts on value? I can't find much online. Seems to range from $400-$650.
  18. I have a Parker PM20 Pro on loan from a friend. VERY nice!
  19. Get this album. You won't be disappointed (except by its relatively short length).
  20. Ha, ha. That takes me back. I'm finishing my first book about something totally different and in it I tell a story about in my teens (in the Bronze Age, or back when Moses played himself in The Ten Commandments) somehow diffusing a tense racial situation at a dance at Canarsie H.S. by getting up and playing my ca. 1968 George Harrison Telecaster---complete with maple neck and bulbous solder work (fortunately on the back). I bought that guitar around 1970 for $110 from old friend Bobby Lenti, and held onto it through the '80s----when a dealer at We Buy Guitars on 48th st. said "I want it" Meaning, of course, 'name your price (within reason)' Being the ever-astute businessman I was and am I let it go for $460, asking $500 and blinking before he could get a sentence out probably. He had to get $800-900 for that guitar, minimum. Oh well, my profit was still more than 3x what I paid. And I've never been attached to guitars...... Well, then, mine must be worth about 10 grand at this point! Go ahead, rub it in, why don't you.....

  22. I know you had to have been working on that for a long, long time, Free!! Well done! Yeah..........GOOD one!
