This is very true. I have a number of the original Columbia records I bought from a used music store in San Diego many years ago. This specific store (they had one for records only) specialized in used records. And as I recall, the average price for the records (in good condition) was around $8-$12. Forget getting them now. But I was stunned to hear the many different styles she played. She did, jazz, soul, blues and standards. Most people know her from the Jerry Wexler Atlantic days but these early Columbia recordings are worth looking at.

I missed the Ornette show. I'm sick............

Sorry to be at the tail end of this but I will check out your show. I like the programming. Sounds like a fresh alternative to the standard instrumental hip-pop fusion bullshit that dominates the air waves.......

This is true. I've seen him in person many years ago at the university I was attending. Very nice guy......

I've always liked Frank Foster. I feel he is an underrated player.....

I saw them in Chicago at the "Jazz Show Case" on Rush Street back in the late 70's. And before that, when I was in school, I went to see a good friend who was a professor at Youngstown State University, I walked to his new office (he moved from an old building into a new one) and there was a guy sitting in a chair with his legs crossed looking at a magazine. I really didn't notice him until the professor came out of his office and said, "Hey, I have someone I want you to meet.....". He introduced me to the man who put down the magazine, stood up and extended his hand. It was Max Roach......

Audiogon is pretty good. You will pay for quality equipment however. I have a friend who is obsessed with hi-end gear and does a lot of buying and selling there.

I'll have to check this out......

I listen to KSDS FM 88.3 San Diego also. One of the super star dj's is no longer there but I recommend listening to Miff Mole on Thur nights from 9 to midnight. His 11 pm show (Free Time) is very hard core. Love it....!

Mine are KCSM FM in San Francisco, KSDS FM in San Diego, WKCR FM in NYC, WYSU FM in Youngstown (Oh) and KKJZ FM in Long Beach....

Dang! Wish I could be there......

This a late post but I couldn't help but kibitz. Anytime Ornette's name comes up, I have to say something. I cannot express how dynamic and creative this mans music is. I have a license plate holder on my car that has Tomorrow is The Question at the bottom and Ornette Coleman at the top. If that’s a hint......

Ya got that right! You're talking about three men who were in a world class by themselves. All three were innovative masters of the art of dancing improvisation.

Sad to hear this. The ranks of veterans gets thinner and thinner every year. I guess it's the natural process of life.....

Yeah, it's hard to believe it has been 17 years. The first jazz record I had was by Miles Davis, the classic "Kind of Blue". I was instantly hooked and been that way ever since. I can never listen to enough of his music......

I've been listening to WKCR-FM's 88.9 NYC 24 hour broadcast of his music since 0300 PST! Loved it...!!!!

I listen to KSDS fm 88.3, San Diego, CA. It's not the best, but not real bad. The sharpest DJ just recently left. But I still listen to it especially when I'm in my car.

Glad to hear this. I hope it works out well for him.

Bro, I like what ya playing! I will have to check your show out.....!!!!!!

I just ordered the book 10 minutes ago. Standby..............

Sounds interesting. I'd like to read this book but the price is somewhat cost prohibitive. WTF?? It's only a book -not a house note! Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll check it out........

Interesting commentary about LaFaro. Never saw the man live so I can't comment. But I did like his work with Bill Evans.

Nice clean vinyl copy. I love it....!
