The Blind Faith Deluxe set is interesting. I like it, but it's not for everyone. The second disk is just four long tracks of jamming. Depends on how much you want to listen those guys noodle.

Just pick up the Larry Young Mosaic box. That's all you'll need for a while! B-) ... unfortunately it'll cost ya' - it's OOP. But if you can find it for a reasonable price somewhere - pick it up! (BTW, it won't be reasonable on ebay)

Just received this from an ebay find. It's OOP and supposed to be GREAT! Jon & the Nightriders - "Fiberglass Rocket"

I couldn't tell for sure - it's so small. Actually, as long as this is about Dryden, the cover of "Surrealistic Pillow" was re-cropped at the waist because there's a noticable bulge in Spencer's pants

Anyone have the original cover of that first Moby Grape album with the full middle-finger extension?

This finally showed up in the mail today. (I don't know why it took 3 weeks.) I watched much of it tonight including about the first 10 minutes of the concert. I was really hoping to see that entire Steve Allen set, too. Couldn't they put that on the disk somewhere as an "extra"? Anyway, I'll probably get a fresh start on the concert portion tomorrow. Definitely looks SMOKIN' !!!

Was listening to "Breakthrough" (the BN CD, not the box) last night and realized that one of the tunes was familiar - "Song From the Old Country". I looked through all my Adams/Pullen and Mingus albums, but couldn't find where I had heard it. It finally dawned on me that it's on David Murray's "Shakill's Warrior" with Don on organ. A better version, I think, too.

Not from emusic. You can get a lot of info from allmusic.com, though.

For anyone who hasn't checked in the past week or so, they've put up a pretty large portion of Frank Zappa's Rykodisk catalog. Pretty amazing ...

"Mingus Moves" is a pretty excellent album with Pullen/Adams, too. I actually think that the BN P/A stuff is a little weaker than the other albums I have heard. Nothing wrong with them, but a little more tame, or something. (I can't quite put my finger on it) OTOH, anything by these guys is a cut above most other albums out there.

My Archos is a 20GB and it's full. Sure, I don't listen to ALL of the music on there, but it's like collecting CDs/records. It's nice to have a ton of tunes at your fingertips when you're in the mood for something specific.

Yaaawwwwwwwwwnn .... -_-

Had some cilantro on my burrito for dinner tonight!!

Someone should DEFINITELY pick up David Murray Quartet - "Shakill’s II" (DIW)

From ebay: JON & THE NIGHTRIDERS - "Fiberglass rocket"

That show that Leeway was talking about was on VH-1. It was better than I expected that it would be. There was a CD released about the same time called "Stoned Immaculate" with many of the same performers, like the Creed guy, the guy from Train and Ian Astbury. Not a great album, but worth having for Doors fans.

This is available from yourmusic.com for $34.93. I just ordered a copy for myself! That's a GREAT price. I may have to spring for that........finally. For the record, I agree with EVERYTHING that Berigan just said about the band. B-)

I've found that cilantro can indeed taste like soap........sometimes. I don't know if it's how they grow it, or what, but sometimes it has a taste that's nearly inedible. Most of the time, though, it's GREAT!!!

It's also a TWO CD set, which makes it very rare indeed. Good catch. I missed THAT one.

RARE! MOSAIC Blue Note Donald Byrd /Pepper Adams Sessions OOP ... and if you believe THAT, ...

Interesting..........yet mysterious, huh?

Hey....don't mess with "my" Doors!! BTW, did anyone catch this tidbit in the obits?? "Sugerman is survived by his wife, Fawn Hall, who testified against her former boss Oliver North in the Iran-Contra scandal of the 1980s, ... " - Who knew??

Here in SF?? I don't recall seeing his name in the papers or on any local gigs. Interesting. Before Mark-Almond, he was with John Mayall (& Jon Mark) when they recorded the classic "Turning Point" album. He was one of those "cross-over" musicians who got me interested in jazz back in the early 70's.

Cool! I'll pick up a SF Weekly (or 2, or 3 or ...) this weekend. Thanks for the heads up, BeBop.

Holy semolians! Eddie Lockjaw Davis & Shirley Scott "Smokin' ", is one SMOKIN' set!! Thanks for the heads up on THAT one! B-)
