Ahem...LES PAUL. Yes.........but certainly Jimi (w/Eddie Kramer's help), too.

I got the Big O box a few days ago!

The Organissimo "box"!!

I just bought this LP today at the Streetlight Records here in Noe Valley, SF that is closing next month. Anyway, I'm listening now. Badass! Yeah......I need to stop in there before they close. NP: "Here to Stay" Don't remember seeing anyone mention the Blakey Riversides, "Ugetsu" and "Caravan".

Also saw him in '71 - my first jazz concert. I think Lenny White was on drums (don't remember who was on bass/piano). Saw him again at Keystone Korner in '74 and then once more in '77 at the Berkeley Greek with VSOP. Always been a big fan. RIP, man.

That's why I started the thread to be about entire sessions (or "nearly entire" sessions), where somebody ain't playin' what they normally do. That's what I figured (trying to stem the tide).

If we're going to note individual tunes (as opposed to entire sessions), then this is going to be one HUGE thread.

I was going to mention this one, but Joe plays drums on 2 cuts. Of course, there's Eddie Harris "The Reason Why I'm Talking S--t" - he plays "jokes" throughout.

Shouldn't this be in the "Mosaic and Other Box Sets" Forum?

Hope you're having a GREAT one, Jim!!

I'm amazed at all the Anita O'Day mentions. I didn't realize it was that popular. I'm definitely going to have to spend more time with it. Top 3 based on estimated playing time (I'm surprising myself here): Gerald Wilson Blue Mitchell Thad Jones (3CD set) Runners up: Jackie McLean Larry Young Selects: Tolliver Patton

OOOOoooooooooh, good for you. That looks NICE!

OK.........now I'm listening to Warszawa.

Speaking of the Black Saint/Soul Note extravaganza, this new addition fits right in (although on Enja): Charles Tolliver Impact

Maynard Ferguson must be hard to come by because it always sells for many 100s of dollars.

OK.......today's the day! You can all PayPal me your presents now.

Anyone get in on the GC 15% Black Friday deal today? Not that great of a bargain, but I went ahead and got the Boss Rc-20XL looper. The discount paid for the AC adaptor and another cable.

George Adams/Don Pullen Quartet "Song from the Old Country"

Not jazz, but just added to eMu: The Fireman (new Paul McCartney project) Jeff Beck live at Ronnie Scott's

Don't know if the seller changed it or what, but the only "Loadstar" on ebay right now is a "Buy It Now" for $59.99

Thanks, guys! You're about a week early (11/28), but WTF........par-tayyyyyyyyy!

I think it's just a matter of time before the entire catalog is permanently available online. I'm not as panicked about BN deletions as I once was.

"Streetnoise" is definitely a classic album. Amazing diversity of tunes. Their 'reunion' album "Encore" has some nice stuff on it, too.

For those who are loving Billy Harper's "Black Saint", you should also DL "In Europe". Equally monsterous (and only 3 tracks, as well).
