I've only got two at the moment - the Wynton Kelly disc and the Collector's disc, both of which are great. One of my local stores had the Dickerson (w/Sun Ra) for a while, but was gone when I finally decided I wanted to get it. How is the Hank Jones title, "Urbanity"? I've seen it available used, but haven't snatched it up yet. And how does this series differ from the VME series, or whatever it's called? Like the recent Kirk "Domino" reissue?

What's the story on Wynton Kelly Live at the Leftbank with Mobley? Any good? It's post-BN timeframe, no?

Up again... BN's website says that this is being released today, and it appears to have another cool Reidsian cover. Anyone seen this or picked it up yet?

What a wild & crazy Monday Night game! I never would've thought Dallas could tie the game up with 11 seconds left, but they did. I was actually disappointed they let the Giants back into the game, but in the second half the offense wasn't on the field long enough, and the defense got too tired. And Shockey was mostly a non-factor after his controversial comments earlier in the year about Parcells. My biggest criticism is that the Cowboys weren't able to put more TD's on the board, and had to settle for field goals. One or two more TDs and they might have put the game out of reach. Overall I thought Quincy Carter looked great! He currently leads the NFC in passing yardage, and the Cowboys have the No. 1 rated offense in the NFL! I don't think either of those stats will last, but I do think the Cowboys will have a SOLID passing game all year long, barring injuries.

Nice band lineup, with Lovano, Rubalcaba, McBride, & Nash! I'm looking forward to hearing this one. Kind of a LT style cover? I like it. Is that the planet the Mothership is heading back to?

JohnJ - I haven't been to Hamburg in a couple of years, so I can't advise too much, but Hamburg DOES have two Zweitausendeins stores - definitely check them out!! Zweitausendeins 1. Colonnaden 9, Tel. 040-35 71 84 31. Zweitausendeins 2. Grindelallee 71, Tel. 040- 44 78 88. I'm sure they probably have a Saturn, which should have a good selection of jazz, and I recall they had a World of Music store that also had a fairly good selection at the time. For sightseeing I highly recommend a tour of the harbor. Also a trip to Hamburg would not be complete without a visit to the Reeperbahn, which is the "red light" district", but also very touristy. The Beatles started on the road to notoriety there...

I briefly considered Aggie88, but for all the obvious reasons chose Aggie87 instead.

Sounds like it was a great show, Tom! It looks like the trio played the Blue Note club in Milan and the Paris date, but won't be doing the rest of the European tour until November, followed up by a week at the Blue Note in NYC in December. I'd LOVE to see this trio - they're playing in Munich on Nov 16th, I may have to clear off the calendar. Slightly off topic - The rest of this month and into October is a U.S. tour of the John Scofield Band. There are also some November dates in the U.K. supporting Tommy Smith, with Lovano, John Taylor, John Patitucci, and Bill Stewart. Also, looking at Sco's website, he did two interesting dates in August. On the 19th, appears there was a one-off with MMW in San Diego CA. And on the 16th, he did an orchestral date in Hamburg, Germany, with the Hessischer Rundfunk Orchestra. -Erik

Congratulations Jim (and Mrs. B-3er)!!! Here's hoping for a whole lotta smiles and giggles and not too many of these:

er...um....

I don't own a Smart car, but they're all over the place here. They were (at least originally) jointly produced by DaimlerChrysler and Swatch (!). I believe at one point they were going to be sold in the U.S. market, but haven't heard anything lately. The Smart Roadsters are starting to become more common on the street as well: And apparently they've got a new vehicle that I haven't seen yet, but guess will be popular as well, called the "Crossblade" here in Germany: Unfortunately, I'm driving an old, beat-up Fiat at the moment, while the wife gets the nice car.

dogma = "am God" backwards...

Osby's "St Louis Shoes" is now available... Not jazz, but they've also got the Essential Leonard Cohen set, if anyone's interested in checking him out - this is a very good overview.

Rest assured they WILL belong to me soon. I'm presently consuming a number of the 2 disc Monk cds from zweitausendeins, and very much enjoying them. The "It Club" and "Monk Alone" sets are my newest Monk acquisitions.

Is Reid Miles still doing work for BN? B)
