I listen to KSDS 88.3 FM in San Diego. I have issues with a number of the dj's (many are weak wannabes) but they do have a few who are on the money. The super star is Leo Gates who has a no-nonsense straight ahead hard core show. Extremely knowledgeable about the music and plays excellent tunes.

Thanks. I'm a big Bil Evans fan. I'll check your show out.

Well, at least the cover graphics is interesting.....

That makes two of us.....

I have this session. It's been released numerous times. Same product, different box. The music is so historical, it is a must for any serious Miles disciple.

Anything by Mingus is good. I love the mans music....

The Complete Pacific Jazz Recordings of Gerald Wilson and His Orchestra ... Lotta nice music on these discs.

Wow! That's a pretty hard core story!

Interesting stories. I haven't really noticed any difference but I haven't been burning lately either. Perhaps this is something I need to look into.

Agreed......

You can go to somewhere like Fry's and get an A/D converter with a USB output to you PC (or laptop). You can then load your old VHS/ Beta tapes to your hard drive and use the applicable software to edit the video for a DVD burn.

This should jog everyone's memory......

This is a late post but the thread about Giuseppi Logan caught my eye. I recall many years ago I was in New York and I asked drummer Sunny Murray about Giuseppi Logan. He had a sad story about the man which ended with him being a bag man in the streets. Glad to see others know about this interesting talented obscure musician. I have all his ESP recordings. Check out:Giuseppi Logan Lives! Giuseppi Logan

Oh yeah! I was at Amoeba and Rasputin’s in Berkeley a day before I went to the Monterey Jazz Fest last year. Needless to say, you can find some nice original vinyl at both places. Some of it is in decent condition. Every time I go I end of buying records I already have. Can't help myself..............

Playing a nice clean copy of........

Well, I'm going against the grain of all you Wynton disciples in this thread. I couldn't get excited about it (the video). Sorry. I think Wynton was much more interesting when he first began with Art Blakey and his first three or four Columbia recordings. But I think his brother Brandford, is much more musically creative and interesting. But unlike the Wynton haters, I think the man can play. I don't see him as technically deficient. But it is the material he steadfastly refuses to move beyond that hamstrings him. I love the classics but his attempts to reinvent the art of Ellington, Armstrong, Henderson, Parker, et al, has become somewhat tedious. Every since he hooked up with Stanley Crouch, he has fallen into the quicksand of static conservative traditionalism......IMO.

Bought a pristine original laminated Impulse gate fold copy (vinyl record) from a good friend who had four copies. Now I have two.......

So sad. Even though I detest the idea of rearranging the original venue, I guess it's a matter of harsh economic times, a very common and pandemic malady these days. I was in S.F. last year and I was in a book store somewhere in the Fillmore district. The woman in the book store was listening to some hard core music (Cecil Taylor, Albert Alyer, etc) when I asked her where were some good venues for serious music in S.F.. She said there was really none outside of Yoshi's. I was stunned to hear this but this is what said.......*shrugs........

I saw Sun Ra a few times in person in San Diego. Last time was at the Belly Up Tavern. A huge venue for live music. They can out one by one on the stage, each musician playing until the entire band with dancers was in full swing. One of the hippest shows I've seen.

Ditto that! Love that recording session. The cover picture is really hip also (IMO).

Wow! Scary. Given the present rate of technological innovations and never ending changes, what will the laptop look like and do twenty years from now...?

One of my all time (and first) Tatum recordings. The record contains the first piano solos cut by Art in 1933 and a solo concert perfromance from 1949. Check it out......

Loved his playing. I saw him last year (2008) in San Diego. He was in very bad shape. Couldn't play three notes. He was in great spirits but physically the man was beat down. It was sad. He will be missed....that's for damn sure.

Dang!! I'm very disappointed. I was looking forward to this release. This was totally unexpected.

Very nice photos. Love the Archie Shepps.......
