Hey Hank/James, I received Bossa Nova Soul Samba & New Wine In Old Bottles the other day; thanks a million! I'm diggin' the shit out of BNSS. What a beautiful groove, and a fantastic recording. RVG's remastering of this one is one of his good ones! Super warm and yummy. Both discs were in beautiful shape. Couldn't be happier!

Can't leave the house...???

Mine came last week, but I don't get to open it until my birthday later this month. I'll post the # then.

I think that's exactly it: It depends on how you started listening to jazz. Both TonyM and DrJ admit to having begun their jazz listening with Ornette!! In my own self-paced "jazz education", I started with modern jazz, but not anything outside. Ornette and Dolphy were VERY DIFFERENT for me, when I first encountered them. Can't say I yet fully appreciate Dolphy. -_-

Same could be said for my avatar... First time I listened to it: Now it's: B)

You have to have a lot of listening under yer belt to get your ears around something like "Conquistador!". Not for beginners...

That Blues For Lou on half.com is no longer available...

PM sent re: Detroit/NY Jct.

Something I did recently to create more space was to put all the cds that were from boxed sets BACK into their boxes. A lot of them were just filed in with the regular cds and the boxes were in storage. But now I have an area just for the boxes. It actually ended up creating a lot of space.

Oops, too late...

I waded into my newly acquired JJ set. The two versions of Aquarius just knocked me out!!! I'm not quite sure which is better. (I've a hunch it's the shorter, issued version.) Just beautiful!

How nice of you to order one, then. B)

This morning: One of the last Morgan/Shorter VeeJay sets! mini-lps of Soul Samba and New Wine In Old Bottles from forum "pal to everyone" Hank. ( me mini-lps ).

I think you will... I'm sure you're right, my friend.

Got my confirmation email, too! Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!

Could you please tell what the defect was? I just pulled the trigger on this set; I think I got one of THE last remaining copies...

Too late, bud. There's blood all over yer hands!

SS1's post above made me cave in! I called 2 minutes ago and was told they had a couple left so I ordered the Morgan/Shorter. They said I should have it by the end of the week. I can now place my Blue Moon copies of Introducing & Second Genesis into my "For Sale" pile. At least I had to willpower to pass up the Kelly/Chambers set. Hopefully I won't regret it, too much. -_-

email sent re: Quebec McLean Thanks!

This has turned out quite bizarre!

That Soulstation1, he never filters anything! And that's what we like about him. That took guts, dude. B)

Geez, I received my Elvin Mosaic set ON Tuesday. I didn't know he died until late that night. Weird coincidence. Totally deflated me...I think I'll always remember the day I got this set. I've been listening the last couple days. This music is just so wonderful... I'll always remember Elvin's infectious smile! B)

AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not that picture!!! No worries; I already got mine.

"I never even auditioned!" Wow, did not know that. Never woulda thunk it... ---------------- Gravelly, scratchy, whispering Miles' voice: "C'mere boy! I wanna stick my dick in yo' ass" ----------------- This is blowing my mind! But, I could really care less... -_-

Don't say stuff like this!!! I need help resisting upgrades...
