Son-of-a-Weizen

The Geller is excellent. As I said earlier, I bought one for $8 from a seller in FL....and they've listed another. Someone should nab it! http://cgi.ebay.com/Herb-Geller-Quartet-Or...1QQcmdZViewItem

Yep, long gone over at Amazon Japan. I hate them for that.

Why that...and not the shrink?

Don't tempt fate and get caught by surprise, 'ol sport.........keep ejecting those minis. If you get into a jam I can always help you out by accepting the Art Pepper 'Just Friends' mini-lp! p.s. As you prepare to "throw out" all that free/improv stuff, do me a favor and gather up the worst 300 or so CDs of the lot and I'll pay you to ship the entire box to RonS in Philly.

I am...........even had to sell off a Thad Jones Mosaic on eBay today to make some additional room.

Supposedly, this is the mini-lp version of 'At Town Hall'. I've only seen the US and japanese jewel (UCCU-5100) versions and have doubts about the existence of this one (a cruel illusion? ... the work of couw perhaps?) . Anyone seen a catalogue number for this?

You're welcome.

Oh, whatever...you get the point.

$85 for a t-shirt? Only made 30? They're pretty easy to churn out, Horace. How about making 200 and selling 'em for $20?

Not sure that you can get it all in English. When I use it, a pic of the cover pops up w/track listings, price, cat. number & release date in English. You're not seeing that??

Elmo Hope Trio (Toshiba 10")

I'm not 100% sure of this, but I think they mainly focus in on the VICJ-4xxxx and 6xxxx series over there? Can't say that I've seen a full 2xxx list all spelled out neat & tidy.....but if you wanted to check on some items from that late-90's run, the thing I'd do is to go to the JVC site.....check the 2nd circle down the list in the search box and just plug in the numbers. A bit laborious, but it'll get you what you want (ie. VICJ-2001 is Konitz, VICJ-2002 is Getz/Konitz, VICJ-2003 is JJ Johnson, VICJ-2004 is the Getz 'Quartets'..........right on up through VICJ-2099 Burrell 'Blue Moods' etc......

Akira Matsuo

The guy says 'thanks!' for all the international support they're getting. Just imagine if he vacuum sealed that teriyaki bowl or asian chicken salad -- bet the deep pocket eBayers in Indonesia and Bhutan would just go wild bidding that up into the tens-of-thousands!

........a non-mfsl pressing.

Yep, but he needs to fold back that little tear on the Modest Jazz Trio obi strip and re-scan it for us to cop........er, for us to look at!!

Interesting site, Randy. I wasn't aware of this archive. Looked up my uncle. Like you, I only had sketchy details at best and it wasn't until September when I took him out to see the SR-71 'Blackbird' (he was on the design team) at the ** Smithsonian Air & Space museum out near Dulles Airport that I really got the full story about his WWII service. Man, what an amazing burst of action he saw (not spelled out in the 'raw' forms presented here though)......from flight school right into the thick of it flying F-4 'Wildcats' off escort carriers against the Japanese at Iwo Jima, Leyte (Lingayen Gulf) and Okinawa -- all in a 4 month window. At Iwo, he was returning to his carrier (Makin Island) after having attacked caves & fortified emplacements around the mountain, when a kamikaze Zero slammed right into the neighboring carrier Bismarck Sea, hitting the pilot's briefing room and killing all the assembled pilots. Ship then took a second direct hit and exploded. He was right there in the air. Bismarck Sea ** Air & Space is a 'must see' for anyone who visits the D.C. area. It's incredible.

You're just throwing that up as a sacrificial lamb so that everyone will run to it and you'll be left to grab this.

Toshiba TOCJ 6716(Blue Note)New(24 Bit) Laws,Ronnie(ts)/ Pressure Sensitive 1500 Despite being loaded with everything I hate - electric piano, soprano sax, synthesizers -- this one w/Joe Sample on board is pretty good. We played a couple of tracks at our wedding reception in 1988. The song 'Always There' is great for a party.....got a good groove! I pull the LP or cd out a couple of times a year just to blast that one track.

This the Bagley cd you're referring to? Sure looks interesting. How's the sound? Update: Per Hiroshi's latest newsletter, looks like this'll be out in March. Good news! http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...=0entry464358

I'm looking forward to that Raney. That should arrive with the pre-ordered 'Frivolous Sal' TOCJ that's due in next week. $12 is an a-okay price!

Jimmy Smith Got My Mojo Workin (Verve)

True....good point. Surprised they haven't been snapped up yet? Maybe you need to follow the Amazon Deutschland model and place a single small dutch chocolate in the packet the way that they place a small Haribo packet in overseas bound boxes? TOCJs will all be gone by morning!!

...anything's possible!

Oh, okay.. ........anyway, back to Uncle Charley for a minute....I only plugged into the show after 1967 and never realized that William Demarest wasn't there from the get-go, and had in fact replaced the ailing William Frawley ('I Love Lucy')......
