That is correct - not metal.

Here's the email that went out in February: +++

I don't see any indication that it was named later on. I skimmed through the liner notes and didn't see anything about that. Also, I still have the original vinyl of "Directions" (released in 1980) which also has the "Willie Nelson" title.

Not exactly the Village, but in Chelsea there's Empire Diner on 10th Ave & 23rd St. In SoHo, the Moondance Diner on 6th Ave & Grand (I think) - near Canal St.

I always wondered why CBS/Sony hasn't released "At Fillmore", myself. I do have the vinyl, fortunately. Also, where's the CD of Maynard's "MF Horn 4 & 5 - Live at Jimmy's"? Another smokin' live, big band date that's dying to be reissued!

Didn't he tour with Lifetime? Wouldn't that have been the early 70's?

Andy Bey Billy Harper Ricky Ford Cecil McBee (as a leader)

John McLaughlin, "Electric Guitarist" is an interesting collection from 1978. He recorded this group of tunes with different musicians that he had played with over the years. So, you get tunes with combinations like: JM, Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Jack DeJohnette JM, Jack Bruce, Tony Williams JM, Billy Cobham, Jerry Goodman, Stu Goldberg, Fernando Saunders I think it's a budget album, too, so it is probably available for pretty cheap.

$40 for that Doors box is a pretty good deal. Gonna get killed on shipping, though. GREAT DEAL - 4CD Louis Armstrong - "The Complete RCA Victor Recordings" $11.98. The "Straight, No Filter" for $2.99 isn't bad, either. Watch out for the $3.99 "clearance" CDs, though. After adding shipping, they aren't much cheaper than some of the regular sales they have with free shipping

Along with "I Agree With Pat Metheny" B) BTW, there's also an unreal, live version of "Hard on Me" that goes on for a mind-blowing 12 1/2 minutes!

Where/when is Coleman playing?

... and I like them, too! The "U.S. of Mind" trilogy is due to be re-released this Fall by BN, I believe. So far, "Total Response" is the only one to be on CD - and that's a Japanese version.

Did you see the free downloads? There's a new one called: "Dear Janet Jackson" B)

Hmmmmm.......under the tray. Good idea! The only set I have with a removable lid is Blue Mitchell which I got a couple of months ago. I also have Gerald Wilson, a later release, and the lid is attached to that one.

What does that say for Tim Buckley's "Strange Feelin'"?

My guess is that once you have let your subscription lapse, then you would lose your old d/l list. But that's just a guess ...

It was the new on on Broadway. Odd sightlines and not a pleasant atmosphere, in general. Not to mention cramped tables and I was facing AWAY from the stage. Can't compare it to the old one, of course. Would definitely like to see the VV Big Band, but we're not going to be there on a Monday night.

Lynne did a nice job in that "Concert for George" show. His voice works really well on Harrison tunes.

A couple of friends of mine went to that Lobero (SB) show. They liked it......but they like him a lot anyway. Great to see that Fotheringay is being re-released this year. I wonder what kind of extra stuff will be there.

Can't argue with that logic.

Hey guys.....it's John's Grill near Union Square. Still there......still a monument to Hammett and the Maltese Falcon. He actually lived on the corner for a period of time. If you decide to come in for it, maybe I'll meet you afterwards or something.

The only album of theirs that I thought was really interesting was the first one .... maybe because it was basically a Move album.

I'll be at that Mingus BB show (I hope). Do I need to get tickets in advance? I lived in NYC in the late 80's and never went to the BN once. It just seemed to slick (and as Pete said, expensive!). I went to Iridium 2 years ago, and didn't like that, either.

Absolutely, Lon. It doesn't look like any sort of bootleg, either......unless they're VERY good. It's not listed in the track listings in the booklet, either. For that matter, the BN website only shows the 7 tracks and the order is the same as mine. Then again......it also does NOT list track #4 on disk 2 - "When Sunny Gets Blue". Somebody call Michael C or RVG!

Friday is the Sam Rivers/Jason Moran/Reggie Workman show at the SF Jazz Festival.
