Blue Mitchell - disk #1 This is one of those sets that I keep coming back to.

Saw that article online last night. Very interesting. As mentioned, the history of this film could have come from a LeCarre novel.

On my way to a dentist appointment Thursday I walked by Niketown and noticed a line of a dozen or more guys camped out in front. This explains it. I don't get it.......but it explains it.

What???????? No Free For All in "Tromboniere"????????? I'm shocked!

Agg.........you can burn me a copy.

OK, Free........whatever you say.

Nice article in today's SF Chron about Groove Yard Records and it's founder, Rick Ballard. Groove Yard: Rockridge shop sustains LP life even after MP3 success

You've made Aggie87 VERY happy.

Yep. Me, too.

Yeah ... me, too.

That would be an cylinder reissue, no?

Clifford, you have the Horo on CD? I have the LP, but have never seen a digital version.

Where can you find the original albums? "Portrait" is the only CD I've ever seen.

The Mosaic box for SURE. As Skid said the first 2 disks are wonderful. The 3rd and 4th disks are mostly live, and are a lot of fun. Disk 5 is controversial in that there are a lot of big band interpretations of 60's pop/rock songs - not to everyone's taste. I'll second "In My Time", too.

Hey, Conn - here's a REAL Chess babe!

Interesting about Kenny Cox. This is the first I've heard of him. Definitely want to check this out.

Wow. Thanks for that YouTube link! I had no idea there was any footage of this lineup. My first exposure to Billy Harper was seeing this band at the Keystone Korner. Eye-opening, to say the least.

... although not that big a fan of "Song..." (or maybe I just don't know it well enough)

... actually my Save For Later list is constantly pushing the 100 albums limit - is there some way around that? Make more lists. You can make as many lists as you want. Go to "Your Profile" and select "Lists". Each list holds 100 albums - I have 14 lists (ouch!). When you want to save an album, click on "Save to your playlist" instead of "Save for later". WARNING! It's a BAD habit.

Hope you had a great one, 7/4!!!

I don't think Adams/Pullen, Arthur Blythe and Billy Harper could be considered late-60's post-bop. Billy might have shown up on a few recordings (Blakey, Gil Evans, etc.), but he is pretty much 70's and beyond.

"Rainy Day, Dream Away" was always one of my favorites of his 'lesser-known' tunes (if you could call it that). It's got a great laid-back bluesy groove and some tasty B-3 by Mike Finnegan. Also a nice interplay between guitar/organ/sax at one point.

Whoa......dredged up a 4-year-old thread. Great album, though. Keystone Korner - what a great place!

Saw a LOT of trees/branches down over the weekend. Also a couple of trees that landed on cars. Pretty wild.
