  1. I'm gonna GET you, Jim R! Peter O'Toole Brigid O'Shaughnessey Anita O'Day
  2. Pete Jolly Angelina Joli Joely Richardson
  3. My copy of "News for Lulu" has a slightly different cover - the photo (Louise Brooks only) takes up the entire cover rather than "letterboxed". Which is the original?
  4. Marion Brown James Brown Michael ("Brownie") Brown
  5. That's really an understated and EXCELLENT set. Currently: Anita - disk #2.
  6. How does this album compare with "New York, New Sound"?
  7. I've had shipping problems with Collector's Choice. It seems to take several weeks for a delivery.
  8. Just ordered Tolliver today.
  9. Looks like prices for the Andrew Hill set are coming down, too: $193. A second Hill set sold for $255 a few days later, so maybe somebody just got lucky to score it for less than $200. Regardless of price, great music! I wonder if the price drop has anything to do with the recent re-releases of Judgment and Andrew? Or maybe not, as I recall seeing the Grant Green Mosaic selling for huge amounts of $, and I was under the impression that most (if not all) of the material on that set was easily available. ← I saw that Andrew Hill, too. Must be a lull in Mosaic OOP value. A Byrd/Adams just sold for LESS than retail and so did an Anita O'Day, recently.
  10. You should get "Curtis/Live", actually. It's an excellent album, and considered one of his best by many.
  11. Los Angeles???
  12. I forgot about the Roy Brooks version and that all-star lineup: Woody Shaw, George Coleman, Hugh Lawson and Cecil McBee. I grabbed a copy of that off of ebay in the last year for a reasonable price.
  13. Here's another thread that should give you a lot of ideas: San Francisco
  14. I LOVE that tune! It's just called "Wilpan's" on the original LP. But it's called "Wilpan's Walk" on Chico Freeman's "Destiny's Dance". Same tune ...
  15. If this turns out to be true, then Sony's loss will be Mosaic's gain. I will place a Mosaic order on that day - not sure which one yet.
  16. This already got reviewed in last Sunday's SF Chronicle: MILES DAVIS: THE CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS 1970 In the light-speed evolution of Miles Davis’ electric ’70s period, one album stands like a marker. “Live-Evil,” though released only two years after the groundbreaking space-jazz of “Bitches Brew,” is galaxies apart from that effort and contains inklings of the psycho-funk Davis would achieve a year later. But “Live-Evil” was a hodgepodge, with some tracks recorded live at the Cellar Door club in Washington, D.C., and others from an earlier studio date with different personnel. The great stuff was from the Cellar Door, and the new six-CD box set has it all: four nights, eight sets, with Davis on trumpet, Gary Bartz on sax, Henderson on bass, Keith Jarrett on electric piano, Airto Moreira on percussion, Jack DeJohnette on drums and — for one night — John McLaughlin on electric guitar. If “Bitches Brew” was the journey, “Cellar Door” is the arrival at the deep and the dark. -- David Rubien
  17. "Black Talk" is considered one of his classics. "Intensity" is pretty good and also has the last recording made by Lee Morgan. "Charles Earland In Concert" is a burnin' live album, too. None of these are on High Note but all are easily downloaded from eMusic.
  18. Hard to say what that would have been like. He did a nice job with Jack Bruce on "Harmony Row", though.
  19. Actually, I think the Jack-In-the-Box campaign is pretty clever. I don't like most commercials - especially fast food ones - but I think that one works (usually). I agree about the Burger King king. Creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy.
  20. The Larry Young devaluation continues: $200
  21. I'm a little stupid about classical, too. But they now have the entire Naxos catalog available. Should be worth checking out.
  22. Apparently, they're out now. Felser got a Tolliver set yesterday. They've updated the website, too. The only thing now listed in "Upcoming releases" is the Trane/Monk LP.
  23. It's already out, then. COOL!
