The new sound of "Day-twah"!

Some of them do have the original liners. Larry Young for example. The Mosaic Selects have cover art, too.

Tom Verlaine tomorrow (Sat.) night. Should be VERY interesting.

FWIW, Gerald and his orchestra are partying down at Yoshi's on July 31, the final day of the Kenny Burrell 75th birthday bash week. Also includes Joey DeFrancesco and Hubert Laws. I have no idea how they are going to fit all those people PLUS a B-3 on that stage!

The "You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore" series has some pretty good live stuff covering his entire career.

Just downloaded Rahsaan's "Brotherman in the Fatherland" live album from 1972. Smokin'! If you want live Rahsaan at the top of his game, check this one out.

From today's NY Times: Frank Zappa's Family Brings His Music to a New Audience

Got mine yesterday from CDU. Listened to disk #1 - so far, so good. Great "live" sound, too.

I'm excited, too!! Meanwhile, the fact that the tax incentives are ramping DOWN is just "criminal". I've read the reason behind it, but it's a twisted logic that I don't even remember. If anything, tax credits for hybrid and low emission vehicles should be ramping UP.

Oh man, I'm in the Bay Area on vacation at that time! GOOD timing!

The GW sessions of Johnny Hartman's "Unforgettable" are pretty impressive, too. Heads up: At the end of July, Yoshi's is having a 5-day Kenny Burrell 75th birthday bash featuring Joey DeFrancesco & Hubert Laws. The last day of that run - 7/31 - they are joined by the Gerald Wilson Jazz Orchestra. Definitely a show NOT to miss.

I got MY pre-order in ...

"Holy Ghost" was just added to the eMusic catalog. Whew!

When is it NOT "Rum and Coke night"??

Nice shots, Barak! Keep up the good work. I just recently downloaded that album from eMusic, although I haven't listened to it yet.

40 years ago, i bought the ones HE wanted me to hear. that's all i care about. But 40 years ago "he" couldn't put more than about 40 minutes of music onto one album. Considering many of his pieces are in the 10 minute range, that didn't leave room for very many cuts.

Uhhhhhhhh......are YOU the promoter, We No Speak?

These were my first 2 - in the late 80's sometime. I still have the FZ CD and have since "upgraded" Harmony Row to a newer remaster.

Where can I pre-order this set??!?

Of the Steeplechase, I like "Bouncing with Dex" and "The Apartment" a lot.

"Homecoming" is a late-period classic that announced Dexter's return to the American jazz scene. It's a high-energy live recording from the Village Vanguard in December 1976. With Woody Shaw, Ronnie Matthews, Stafford James and Louis Hayes, it's a must-have.

Glad you're enjoying it! Maybe I should track down a CD version myself.

All those Jimmy Heaths are worth DL-ing, SS. Some nice Delmark albums added today.

TWO new albums from Tom Verlaine. One instrumental and one "regular" album. Around Songs and Other Things

I bought a Compaq a few months ago that has a LightScribe burner in it. To be honest......I've never tried that feature. It came with one LS compatible disk, but just haven't gotten around to using it.
