okay I'm sure this has been brought up before... but I feel like it anyway.... So what are your three all-time fave female vocalists in order of preference? For Moi... 1) Billie H. 2) Anita O'Day (close second) 3) Tie - Karrin Allyson & Cassandra Wilson... Sorry but no matter how hard I try I can't just dig Sarah Vaughn or Ella... (I like them both but not in the top three...) Okay humor me..

I didn't need to get the deluxe. I just got the USB drive and there are no repeats on that.

I'd have to look at the tracks on the 2-cd set but my understanding is that the USB tracks are all IN ADDITION to... (e.g., unreleased on the CD). I'm pretty sure that it's an additional 5+ hours of music. The deluxe edition only adds a poster if you have the CDs. Does that answer your question?

Okay... just finished listening to the full 5+ hours. Overal I would say it was excellent! Thirty-four (34) tracks, not a lot of repeated songs. Actually there are no repeats. Sound quality is excellent. The ONLY downsides for me is that Gayle Moran Corea is on three tracks singing. (: I just DO NOT like her voice. They also could have created a digital booklet (minor point). Although it's a bit pricey I'm glad I have it!

Not to my knowledge. It does have both Flac and MP3s. I just copied them to Itunes as well as burning it to a DVD. I know it's a bit pricey but I'm really enjoying it.

I caught this over at Chick's website... I purchased the USB stick. I've gotten about halfway through and it's fantastic! So far all acoustic stuff. (My strong preference.... ) Also some tunes I rarely have ever heard Chick play... A little Stevie Wonder (Overjoyed), Monk... Really really nice... An excellent find for Moi... http://www.ccwforever.com/

Just ordered the Don Pullen box this AM... Great price over at grooves.inc. $32 US incl. free shipping for 7CDs... I'll probably get the WSQ box at some point...

Most acts play about 50-55 minute sets these days. Like in the case of Ornette, Sonny, usually the last performer of the weekend (Tony Bennett in another case) gets longer. Maybe an hour and a half...

From the link above as I read it. it's still unclear as to whether or not it was suicide... Am I wrong about that? Damn it's sad to think that the person who used his stage to deliver such a message took his own life. RIP.

That's horrible... I grew up on that show... Damn.... RIP Don.

I put in a bid on that one.. Been looking for it for a while. Glad that I scored it when it was still available. Will have to listen again, soon! (I loves me some Konitz!) Glad that I have the Dickerson and the Konitz, among others. Nice series!

Tierney Sutton... up here in Boston @ Scullers... If you haven't heard her new record American Road... it is excellent... Her best to date.

After my first listen I'm lukewarm. I've got a lot of Brubeck but this one didn't do much for me. How is this one?

I'm up for 3 out of the 4... Not much of a Guiffre fan.... I wonder when we'll get a US distributor? For some reason it seems to take months for a US distributor to get these releases.....

As long as it get's done right I can wait...

I generally concur... He's got a new CD out on the Smallslive label... Good one! when i lived in nyc he was very open to giving lessons. he had a regular gig at Smoke and you could just walk up and ask him. he is, of course, very busy, but he seemed like a very personable fellow. you should ask him for lessons. my opinion: he's one of the best jazz guitar players alive. he's not necessarily an innovative game-changer on his instrument like, say, frisell, davis, metheny, hendrix, tyner, etc... but for straight-ahead jazz blues, in the pocket standards, "tasty" interpretations of great tunes, he's basically 2nd to none in my mind. amazing player w/ a BEAUTIFUL tone.

What Dave Douglas cd are you talking about when you say "Three Visions"? I'm a big DD fan and don't recall that title.

My dominant problem with Safari is it's lack of customization, specifically that you can't change the overall theme. I used to use Firefox a lot since there are so many themes and extensions but it's a memory hog. I've lately been using Chrome mostly...

Had a little extra cash this week so I grabbed the Stan Getz... I still think their pricing is a little high though..

His new record is outstanding...! I just found out he's coming to Cambridge in late Jan. I'm going to try to go. It's been at least 10 years since I've seen him!

I prefer the Live Roulette sessions myself. Something about that band... And I concur that the sound quality is excellent. I have the Verve sessions which I'm a little lukewarm on. Didn't get the Studio Roulette sessions due to my not being familiar with Mosaic at that time... I wish I had....

I know it kinda sucks but I'm inclined to get for two reasons. A) I like Jim Hall and b) Their packaging is okay. I paid $40 for Maria Schneider's last release and it was worth it. I have to go back and listen to the individual CD I have to make a definitive decision. For some reason, Artist Share finds it necessary to sell the unreleased material at a clip of $25/cd, though.

I completely don't get it....

thanks... Just ordered...
