I remember him from way back as the cop on Smothers Bros, which most people don't mention (other than here!).

Haven't heard it in a while, but I remember it had a lot of energy, too!

Ricky was great! I saw him live a couple of times and he was always a good character actor in films, too. He will be missed. I need to listen to that Fresh Air episode.

Blakey 1960, disks 3/4

Looking forward to this. I put together a rough spreadsheet schedule, but haven't figured out my plan of action yet.

This sounds a little ominous. But I have tickets for the Jan 3 show, which should be excellent. Thinking of Wayne ... Friends of Wayne Shorter to Celebrate His Legacy and Music at SFJAZZ While the legendary saxophonist recovers from an illness precluding travel, friends from his musical family will gather to celebrate the NEA Jazz Master's incredible body of work. Legendary saxophonist Wayne Shorter will be honored by an amazing array of his peers January 3-6 at SFJAZZ. For these historic concerts celebrating the 11-time GRAMMY winner and recent Kennedy Center Honors recipient, a wonderful group of his musical "family members" will perform music from his celebrated career along with Shorter's longtime band members. Artists scheduled to perform in various configurations throughout the four-day residency include Herbie Hancock, Branford Marsalis, Kamasi Washington, Terence Blanchard, Joshua Redman, Ambrose Akinmusire, and Terrace Martin along with Shorter's longtime band Brian Blade, Danilo Pérez, and John Patitucci.

Been listening to the Nancy/Cannonball album. For some reason I never had it before. What a great piece of music!

When I lived in NYC in the 80s my girlfriend lived on the same block as the cafe. It wasn't so much of a music/performance venue then, but I remember it fondly.

Lee Morgan Complete BN 50's, disk 3

I got the replacement set already ... unbelievable! Everything seems to be there. I checked each cover to make sure there was a disk inside, AND that it matched. As to CJ's comment, the slip covers ARE very loose and the CDs can fall out easily. BTW this box IS numbered (3286), unlike the previous one. Maybe THAT's why the disk was missing?

I just realized that I’m missing the Leo Smith disk (#5). The cover is here, but no disk. Amazon will send a replacement. Anyone else have this happen?

I was glad they finally posted the Marathon schedule, but it's not laid out very well for coordinating different show times/venues. I hope they publish some sort of grid or interactive version, too.

Randy, if you can afford the VIP it's definitely worth it. As you said, the priority seating makes a BIG difference. There are also some bonuses like a Sunday Brunch and some other goodies. We'll have to make another attempt to meet up - Nessa, too!

Enjoying this a lot more than I expected. There's a LOT more content than on that 2010 3-CD edition, and this one is remixed by Steven Wilson, unlike the earlier version. I still have 2 versions of Stand Up - the 'Wilson long box' and a 2CD/1DVD version, which I'm holding onto because of the live Carnegie Hall show (not on the newer release)

Enjoying a lot myself, so far. GLAD I made the investment. As far as numbering, mine is like Felser's: " /6000".

I ordered one over the weekend, too! It arrived today. LOTS of extras in the set.

I was surprised when I saw pix from the Kennedy Center, too. I haven't heard anything either. The last couple of times I've seen him he has been playing seated, but he always walks out on stage. Have tix to see him at SFJAZZ in January.

I got mine. It's budget all-cardboard packaging ... but considering the price, I'm not surprised OR bothered. Happy to have ALL these albums together!

Saw that, but bittersweet for me. I arrive that day, and already have commitments for Thursday night.

One of the WORST Muse covers. This is the Moontrane cover I have on vinyl. The BEST one, IMO. Although the modified version isn't bad, either. The 32 Jazz version ...

Thanks, Guys!

I need to dive into that Mosaic. I picked it up earlier this year, but have barely cracked it open.

I guess I did, HutchFan, but I actually missed the part of this topic being "side man" gigs for Sir Roland. So as you said, that's debatable for the NYJQ sessions.

Damn! I was convinced I had the winning number this time!

The New York Jazz Quartet with Hanna, Frank Wess and George Mraz was great! Especially this one
