Whoa - that sux! I had a lot of those albums on my "Wish List". There were some rock labels that disappeared recently, too.

You need to open up the top of the center panel to get the "bonus disk"

That's a coincidence! I'm expecting it to be delivered today. It's ALWAYS been on my "to get" list, but somehow I never got it. Can't wait!

Wow - I didn't know that, either! Downloaded the "JCM" album, and it's much better than I would have expected. Really good versions of songs from his back catalog of projects.

**CLOSED** If still interested, please bid on ebay.

Big fan of Colosseum and Tempest. "Songs for a Tailor" is a great album, too! Oddly enough, he doesn't play on "Rope Ladder to the Moon," which Colosseum did a great job covering. RIP, Jon!

I never met her, but remember seeing her running the business at the VV a number of times.

Joe Pass Complete Pacific Jazz Quartet Sessions (5 CDs), #3982. $75 plus $5 media mail shipping. The set is in pristine, like-new condition. PM me if interested. PayPal preferred.

Understandable! I avoid "big field" outdoor festivals, myself.

Interesting lineup! Was that a festival? I've seen Patti a lot over the past several years, too. Always a good show.

Johnny Marr last night at August Hall in SF

Threadgill - disks 7&8 A LOT of gems in this set!

Will do! Yeah, that was my impression, too.

I need to listen to that more. Maybe it's the mix, but I always have trouble understanding what's going on.

I always liked Adams/Pullen, too. Unfortunately I never saw them with Mingus, but I saw the Quartet a number of times and they never failed to impress.They really had that "inside/out" style down cold. As for Bruce - I saw him in '76 and '80. Never as big a fan as most of my friends. Yes, he puts on a VERY energetic and LONG show but like some of you I can't say I enjoy spending much time listening to him. I saw him again in 2012 at SXSW in Austin. He gave a Keynote speech which was interesting, for sure. And then gave a concert at the relatively small Moody Theater (where Austin City Limits is filmed). Also an entertaining show, and I was able to be fairly close to the stage. Glad I saw the show, but again - I didn't feel like I had seen "God" or anything.

I really like both of the Shakill's albums! I wish he had recorded more of them.

Didn't know that. He's coming back to SFJAZZ in a few weeks to play with his own group, the "New Breed"

Tonight at SFJAZZ: Scott Amendola drums, electronics Wil Blades Hammond B-3 organ Jeff Parker guitar Cyro Baptista percussion Should be a lot of fun and they're here all weekend. I might have to catch another show.
