Saw this listing on e-bay today. do not know the seller but has Good feedback. $150 not a bad price for this long OOP set- usually goes for much more! Here is link: http://cgi.ebay.com/Complete-Johnny-Hodges-Sessions-1951-55-Mosaic-5-LP-/300498104422?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item45f7153066 Could make a cyber Monday buyer happy...

Damn tricky to follow-I ALREADY have "Dedication" and "Minor Mishap" Never thought to have checked under Pearson or the Hubbard Black Lion. Maybe most everything of Freddie's is out already from that period?? You guys saved me $- Thanks!

Saw this on Amazon and elsewhere- 1961 session with Pepper Adams and Duke Pearson-complete with several alt takes. Anyone have/heard this one? Appears prime period for Freddie? Worth picking up? Comments...

SO happy about my Giants-tho I was born in San Fran, I have lived in Portland the last 25+ years. I have followed the Giants all my life-and had doubts that they would ever win the Series. Heart broken in 62 and when they lost to the Angels after being up 3-2. 'Cept for the pitching staff-and what a staff- no real hitting stars but they had real spirit and such a joy/ but the torture moniker was true as they suffered thru so many one run games. Now that they won a series-1st since 54- us Giant fans can relax and focus on the Worriors. They last won when I met my wife- 1975...

Too bad that they are all gone at that price....

I rented a car last weekend that had Sirius radio. I found a station-I think it was called Real Jazz-but it might have had another name. I think it was station #72? Anyway, I was very impressed with the playlist and sound quality. How many non-smooth jazz stations are on Sirius? Worth purchasing the service? I would have to have the portable radio with docking station as I do not intend to replace my car stereo. I did notice the station cutting out whenever I went under an overpass or entered a tunnel. How is the reception at home? Opinions appreciated. The monthly fees I have seen quoted seem quite cheap at under $10 a month.

Bump Was hopeful that someone from the site might be going to share some of the concerts with... Decent line-up this year.

Michael: I was able to catch some of your set-split between Bobby Watson and Horizon-you were each on at same time. What I heard-and the interplay between Brecker and Escoffery(?) was great as well as your playing. It was a great Festival-thank God they have a great endowment to keep the Festival going...

His new CD with Pete Christlieb on Origin Records was just released. Damn! Got a chance to see him a few times in Seattle. RIP...

I am planning on going and hope some other board members Might be going as well. If so send me a PM..

thanks for the ideas for Tuesday, Mark!

all gone thanks

This line-up is top notch. Much better than I get to see out West. Sunday and Monday look superb. Can't wait to catch Michael's set...

Any Board members going to the Detroit Jazz Festival Labor Day weekend? Looks like a good line-up.. My first time seeing Barry Harris! Any recommendations for restaurants near the Festival? I am not catching a flight till Tuesday afternoon-and won't have a car-some ideas on museums, and other must see stops within walking distance of the Downtown Marriott/waterfront I can do before leaving town Tues afternoon? Thanks!

Happy Birthday!!!

Frishberg lives here in Portland and when he is not playing in New York, he backs up both Rebecca Kilgore (on Arbors label) and lately enjoys playing with Retta, who has a great voice and a big following here in town. David Evans settled a few years ago in Portland and plays with many different folk. New Orleans transplant, Devin Phillips, saxophonist from New Orleans, came here soon after Katrina. Bassist David Friesen also makes his home here. Esperanza Spaulding went to high school here before she took off for New York and stardom. Quite an active scene here in Portland, but only one jazz club, Jimmy Maks, where the great drummer Mel Brown plays several days a week. Happily, Curtis Fuller, will be coming to town next month to play with Mel Brown's band

PM sent on the Bud Shank..

What might you have of late Blue Note issue of Blue Mitchell or from his Mainstream LPs? Thanks. Jeff

Trade for the McLean set has been made to John Felser! Thanks, John!

Hoping for some interest in a trade.
