What do you WISH you were listening to right now?

[BeBop]

Even with that 120gb iPod, you can't carry your whole collection with you. And heck, even when you've got the whole thing at hand, you may be wishing for something you don't have (yet!).

Right now, I'm in want of some Archie Shepp/Richard Davis or NHOP duo stuff and some 8-Bit Operators.

[carnivore]

I wish someone would discover something with Prez soloing before 1936.... an aircheck with Henderson or Oliver ferinstance.

[BillF]

Charlie Parker live in about 1948.

[kh1958]

It seems like I've been waiting forever for Charles Mingus Live at Ronnie Scott's, originally recorded by Columbia, to be released.

[porcy62]

The gentle sound of the undertow on a tropical beach and the jingle of the ice cubes in a cocktail shaker, (Angelina Jolie who's preparing my vodka martini ).

[Jazzmoose]

Yeah, I was thinking Susan Sarandon moaning like hell as I....well, never mind...

[Jazzmoose]

Actually, since I sold most of my CDs, and don't have anything even resembling a decent stereo at the moment, this is probably just the thread for me...

I wouldn't mind hearing the Hot Fives & Hot Sevens set to get me going right now.

[jostber]

John Coltrane - Spiritual. I just ordered that today.

[Hot Ptah]

The cassette I taped from the radio of the Mingus Dynasty band at the 1979 Ann Arbor Jazz Festival, which a friend begged me to loan to him. He lost it, or taped over it, or something. He never returned it and was silent when I attempted to discuss it.

I probably would have listened to the tape about five times over the years, but its loss means that I have a memory that some of the most amazing music of all time was played in that set.

[BeBop]

a new Kraftwerk disc.

Always. Only thing better (...along these lines) is an OLD Kraftwerk disc.

[fasstrack]

Any of my LPs or cassettes. I moved recently and still have no turntable, receiver, or speakers. (I sold everything on moving to Holland 2 years ago and lived in a room with my stuff in storage until 2 months ago. No music at home except for the radio or playing myself.) At least I can play CDs and listen through this s$$t speaker in the laptop. It's a start.

I want to get Benny Golson's new thing and James Moody/Hank Jones, though.

How about the Jazz Messengers with Tyrone Washington and Woody Shaw in 1969!!

NO tapes have yet surfaced (at least not that I'm aware of), but one could hold out some hope for the Filmore East date (9 days before I was born, by the way).

April? 1969: Woody Shaw-tpt; Tyrone Washington-tsx; George Cables-p; Scotty Holt-b

Wollman Auditorium, Columbia University, NYC (February 24, 1969) [db 3/20/69 p.15]

I wish I could listen to my Bitches Brew SACD. I'm here in Ohio at my parents'. . . and I really just want to listen to that for some reason. Sometimes I just need to hear that music.

Ain't that a...uh...Brew?

Right about now, I wish I could listen to the Toshiko Akyoshi/Barney Wilen meeting.

[mikeweil]

I wish I could listen to the lost 10" Blue Note session of John Collins with Milt Hinton and Kenny Clarke, any time!

I want to get Benny Golson's new thing ...

You mean New Tet? I've got that. Pretty nice. There's a piece where he explicitly draws on Verdi, and that's pretty cool. I was lucky enough to see him touring in support of this CD.

OK, THAT! I wanna hear that right now.
