Sweet. I got tickets to see them at Yoshis the day after (without Miller)!

Considering yesterday's market results, you'd think the last thing I'd do is buy another Mosaic set today. I didn't want to miss this one, though! I just ordered it, and I can't wait to hear it.

I don't understand why these never played perfect condition extremely low number OOP vinyl sets weren't sold by him already before they went out of print? Did the license presumably run out and it was a time issue rather than the number of sets running out? You can praise him for being the best seller on ebay and all, but isn't this kind of sketchy to have held on to these and auction them at ebay years later? I suppose he could have actually bought them himself in the first place, but he didn't even play them...

No problem. Yeah, when my iTunes tries to upload all the artwork, I just close it by hitting the "x" next to where it says it is uploading it to stop it from doing so and taking forever.

My external hard drive is sometimes finicky. I have to keep plugging it into the USB port on my laptop until it shows up. Make sure on My Computer on your laptop that it has shown up, then you may want to try playing a song by going into its folder on your external hard drive just to make sure it does work. If that works, then you should be able to just "add folder" from your ITunes too. If not, I'm not sure why it wouldn't work.

Happy Birthday!

I was thinking the exact same thing the other day looking at bluenotesound's items!! Whoever it is just sold a bunch of Anthony Braxton Arista LPs... That is an absurd price for the Jimmy Smith set, btw.

True, he's no Sun Ra in that respect, but he does compose for orchestras among multiple planets and galaxies! Anthony Braxton Interplanetary Orchestras

Alexandria Theater--wow, you live close to me. I'm right through the park in the Sunset. You are still walking distance to Green Apple Bookstore--one of my favorites! And for big trees, you have Golden Gate Park of course. I agree that it could rank higher...

Yeah, can't really suggest any other artists... Try to find this as a sample (You can find it not too pricey, I've found if you scour the used bins... or the blogs...):

Spinning this now... Amazing.

82. Considering I don't own a car, that seems low.

Yes, of course they did. Very fine they did. Perhaps he wanted it. But none of them was rhythmically as close to Monk as Frankie Dunlop was, as far as rhythmic conception is concerned. Just me, of course. I thought we were talking about horn players? And in terms of drummers, I'd say that Art Blakey played best with Monk. Maybe because he started out as a pianist...

Here is what Mosaic told me, "We laid out a Three Sounds (1958-62) and it was 10 CDs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we have to figure something else out."

Surprisingly, I especially enjoyed the 1940s stuff.

I capped off my evening yesterday listening to this program. Thanks a lot, it was a pleasure!

umm... Coltrane. Even if you aren't a fan of the last Complete Blue Note Disc, nor the three studio tracks from the Five Spot era, you must admit that the rediscovered Carnegie Hall concert is superb. That is Monk and a horn at its greatest. Just imagine if more of the Half Note stuff had been recorded!

Yeah, she's like an entirely different person from when I saw her earlier this year. She was adorable! The funny thing is she was more "lively" in person at her current age, kicking around under the piano like Monk and playing up a storm on "Un Poco Loco."
