WTF?

I can recommend these: The last one by MonicaHuggett and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment

Perhaps a bit off topic, but my wife was watching one of those rehab/remodeling shows on HGTV -- I think it was "Renovation Generation"-- and my attention was caught by the words "media room." The house belonged to a doctor and his wife. The renovation must have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. The doctor wanted a media room, so renovated the basement. Besides all the usual goodies like a big flat-screen TV, etc, get this, he had a wall containing at least a dozen (quite possibly more, there were too many to count while the camera panned) McIntosh top of the line amps. All you could see were those cool glowing blue Mac amp lights. Doc said he liked to crank it WAY up. I would guess he had $75,000 in stereo equipment, minimum. I don't know what kind of speakers he had. As Fitzgerald said, "The rich are different from you and me." I believe it was Hemingway who reputedly said, "yeah, they're richer!"

Once he gets the hang of pumping up the post count, he'll be unstoppable

Riverside, Victor Japan pressing. Wes with one half of the then-Miles Davis Sextet-- Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, Jimmy Cobb, and with Johnny Griffin. Another Riverside Victor Japan. With Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb, as well as Nat Adderley, Bobby Jaspar, Benny Golson. Columbia CS 8048. And, my vinyl contribution to the "Counter-Inaugural"-- Impulse AS-9183

Should I lie upwards or downwards? Anyway, by the time my wife and kids are through with the paycheck, I'm not sure what is is anyway

Agreed, but it's been dog-dead-slow for the last two days. Three quarter's of the time (or more!) it won't even come up at all. And when it does, the response times are like 30 seconds or more. Lately, I will enter a search, the site will initiate the search, then it will seem to abandon it before it is completed. No results are returned. This happens occasionally, not always, but enought to be an annoyance. I thought the old site was much easier to use. BTW, don't you think they want an awful lot of personal information during registration? For example, do they really need your household income?

You're going to be channeling some might musical karma with that stuff. Don't exactly know what 24 track analog is all about, but it sounds way cool

Riverside, Victor Japan pressing Another Riverside, Victor japan pressing (mono). JG sounds extremely sharp on this one.

Kevin, If you're looking for jazz albums in surround sound, check out this Buster Williams CD, recorded by Rudy Van Gelder, who designed the CD to be a showpiece for 5.1 surround sound. From what I've read, RVG is a big proponent of surround sound, so you are in esteemed company.

Art Pepper - ART WORKS - Galaxy LP

I'm trying to solve the problem in advance by ordering both at the same time Let's see what happens. Eit: I should add that everything is on backorder anyway.

FWIW, several of the reviewers/critics in the January 2005 issue of "Cadence" listed the "Complete Jazztone..." among the best reissues of the year.

I can't speak to the legal issues to any great extent, but it occurs to me that at one time, this was what the Internet was all about-- the open-ended, cross-pollinating exchange of information and ideas. Now it is tied up by laws, lawyers and bureaucrats of all kinds. I guess it had to happen, but a situation like describe is what the Internet should be all about.

King pressing. Great sound, great music.

I've always thought that Sun Ra used that whole space mythos as a way to deal with race and identity, in a place that is often stranger than fiction-- the United States.

"Mulligan and Getz and Desmond" Verve two-fer. AND: Art Farmer- "To Duke, With Love" Nice lineup: Art farmer, Cedar Walton, Sam Jones, Billy Higgins. Inner City. My experience with IC records is that they have excellent sonics.

I don't think SACD will die out. I think it will remain a niche product. In fact, it could help smaller record labels. For example, as the majors drop out of the SACD- DVD/A race, smaller labels could use it as a selling point for their more specialized audience-- an audience more likely to appreciate higher rez formats.

The home theater/surround sound thing seems to be for movies that have some , or all, of the following: Car crashes, Dinosaurs, Explosions, shoot-outs. I can't see how my appreciation of Godard, or Truffaut, to name a couple of favorites, would benefit from surround sound. OTOH, the growth of DVD jazz performances might create a marekt demand.

Aside from the main point of the article, this was also interesting:

Looks like the baby is waiting for Inauguration Day Having been through three of these, I can surely empathise. Good luck and best wishes.

Really now What kind of crap is that? nothing worse than this goodie from "youmustbe" : "Also, Wayne has a sense of humor...Keith is a pretentious asshole, probably a Republican. " I doubt you could beat your way out of a paper bag

I might spring for one but I am kind of fussy about shipping B-) Normally I just send my chauffeur around to the record store for me

I thought you were selling them to pay for a ticket to one of those "Inaugural Balls."

Really now What kind of crap is that?
