yeah, right..........I heard THAT before.

Saw him (with Billy Harper sitting in) at Yoshi's a year or two ago. VERY entertaining. Everyone needs to see Randy Weston.

I think the "genius" is in the promotion. Take a set of so-called limited edition box collections that have been taken out of circulation for a number of years and re-package/re-release them in a faux instrument case with assorted additional do-dads and then charge an arm and a leg for it. Brilliant!

I was hoping to read more interesting discussion about the Rivers/Hendrix jam, but I guess that topic is LONG gone.

Thanks, David. I must have screwed up my search somehow. I'll look through your links, too.

I don't see the Hubble picture in this link.

Anyone here have connections to Sam? If so, it would be worth contacting him about releasing this in some form or another.

I think so. Look around on http://gbase.com and get an idea about the price. Couldn't find anything there, but I'll keep looking. I had no idea ... (as they say on Antiques Roadshow).

I've got this old 60's-era Tele that's been reshaped, refinished. neck PU replace, and needs fretwork. It also has a beat-up case. A dealer told me (sight un-seen) that even in this condition it might be worth a thousand or two. Is that possible?

Let's face it, he only released 4 albums during his lifetime. Everything else is a collection of one sort or another based on speculation or some producer's imagination. Of course! Hey, I'll take what I can get. Somehow Jimi can't be overplayed around here. Exactly.

Great! Good to know.

Well said.

Saw her earlier this year with the "Charisma" Lee Morgan tribute - very impressive.

Whoa..........what a surprise!

A giant and gentleman to the end. RIP, Hank.

Very interesting. Thanks for the heads up.

Nice vid.........thanks!

This is not sounding good.

Saw him in February at Yoshi's. Here's a capsule review I posted on JazzCorner:

I don't like hearing that.

That's ashame. I didn't know that.

I like THAT, too! Probably won't make traffic any worse than it already is in that neighborhood. It's adjacent to the Civic Center that has the Davies Symphony Hall, Opera House and Bill Graham Civic Auditorium as well as the City Hall.

I like the way you think! Will put that on the calendar for Fall 2012.
