Son-of-a-Weizen

Hey watch yourself or I'll send you a wall-size reprint of the 'Push Push' cover for your new apt.

I don't want to hear about your wishes....unless of course it's about good brew or a color copy of the "Transatlantic Meetings" booklet? I now have one. Drop us a line.

That's a no-brainer..........Chuz Alfred's 'Jazz-Young Blood" w/Vinnie Burke & Kenny Clarke. Just kidding....nice LP though!

Are there any fluteless tracks on either "Sultry Serenade" or "Great Ideas of Western Mann"?

Okay, earlier today I posted a sentence mentioning: Turrentine's Z.T.'s Blues Why is it that the search function won't home in on this exact title....or even a variation of it like Turrentine's Blues?

I'd like to see a set like this materialize as well. Must admit though, despite all of the "this lp is his crowning achievement" commentary, I find "To My Queen" to be the least interesting of the first four dates. "How Deep is the Ocean" is mighty tasty....but that 18 min. title track is about as interesting (imo) as viewing a VHS of the 'Complete History of Franco American SpaghettiOs'!!

I'm boycotting all musicians who changed their names from Bernard McKinney to Kiane Zawadi.

Yes, that hospital quarantine biz really bites. On 3 separate occasions during the 2000-01 time frame my wife had to go in for a couple of days with rock-bottom whites and running a high fever but thankfully never picked up anything that necessitated the sort of prolonged stay that you've mentioned. So far we've managed to dodge that bullet during this second and ongoing round of chemo treatments (she was clear in '02 but the shit came back). Best of luck...hang tough & buy lots of cds!

That may be the case...but soon after I return from my '03 Munich beergarden tour, I'll leave Catesta in the dust with a series of lengthy commentaries including: practical travel tips for safely bringing 5-liter mini-kegs back on the plane, best beer hall from which to pilfer a stein (or two), best location to drain fresh monk-brewed beer.....and best location to sucker local wise-ass university students into political conversations and then crush them like bugs.

Pick up the Hubbard JRVG....beats out the TOCJ.

God hates people who don't upgrade.

RVG...JRVG...whatever!

Yes sir ....we're lovin' that Blakey like a mackerel!

I'd like to see the Farmer/Golson "Another Git Together": The Jazztet: Another Git TogetherMercury 60737 This Nearly Was Mine Domino [benny Golson] Another Git Together Space Station Along Came Betty [benny Golson] Reggie Art Farmer-tpt, flg Benny Golson-tsx Grachan Moncur III-tbn Harold Mabern, Jr.-p Herbie Lewis-b Roy McCurdy-d May 28, June 21, 1962 NYC

I went with "The Flip" because after suffering with that horrible UA vinyl for so long I'm eager to see how the BN maestros can whip that tin mine of a session into shape.

When I saw his "La Jolla, CA" home address printed on the thing, I knew that baby wouldn't bounce. After that, I had to laugh each time I saw him float a variation of the "I'm a poor college student stuck in Seattle routine" on the 'old' board.

Yes Bertrand, thanks for setting me straight....I meant the "Marie Antoinette" alt. take. Edit time! -_-

No joke. Believe me, at one point I thought about trying to get this planted in Vol. 25 of "Ripley's Believe it or Not!".

Heck, I even accepted a check from Aric back in '00 over at BN...and it was good!

If this is one of your favorite BNs, then you should definitely pick up the JRVG. The overall sound seems excellent (no loss at the low end) and both of the alt. takes are worth checking out for the subtle differences in style. The first time I played the disc and heard Shorter's solo on the uptempo "Marie Antoinette" alt. take I took an immediate liking to it, and half-a-dozen spins later, definitely prefer it to the regular version. Also, in the transition from Shorter's solo into Hubbard's -- the opening trumpet note or two is on the subdued side -- while in the alt. take Freddie's opening note is loud and clear (as in I'm HERE!). Also, during McKinney's solo on the excellent uptempo alt. take of "Arietis" I noticed that you can hear a bit more of Tyner working the keys in the background than on the regular version. Lot's of fun stuff like that....I'd recommend picking this one up.

I'm in for the Harden if it's still available?

Liar, liar...you obviously haven't had a series of shoving matches break out over doll & pony outfits in your house this fine muggy afternoon? GIRLS!!! DADDY HAS TO MAKE A JAZZ CD FOR MR. STEFAN AND MR. JAMES, SO SINCE IT'S A NICE DAY OUTSIDE WHY DON'T YOU GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY ??? :rsmile: oh, and how about getting daddy a cool beverage on the way out? *** Yeah, it is a pretty good time...best wishes.

Would like to trade this JRVG (TOCJ-9168) for either a TOCJ or JRVG copy of Dorham's 'Trompeta Toccata'. Anybody?
