The Steely Dan comment above reminded me that Chris Potter played on "Two Against Nature". John Scofield was on Gov't Mule's "Deep End" Volumes I & II, and on Lettuce's "Lettuce Outta Here". Herbie Hancock has been on a few things. He was on the Duran Duran spinoff album, Arcadia. And he was also on some Neil Diamond records, as well as Mick Jagger's "She's the Boss", and Bonnie Raitt's "Nick of Time".

I watch them with my two year old alot. Paul the Chef is one of the guys from Crowded House. That's the only legitimate music connection I've been able to make.

I'll step up and be a voice of dissent on this one. As far as I can tell, the benefit of the Diaper Genie is eliminating/minimizing the odor from poopy-diapers that you have disposed (please correct me if there are other benefits!). And that is definitely a problem that requires attention (couw take notes here!). That being the case, we simply take the poopy diaper and toss it in a plastic bag (the kind you get from the grocery store, and probably have ~1-2K of them around the house somewhere). Wrap 'em up airtight and tie them, and then toss them in the garbage. Odor is eliminated/minimized as effectively as the Diaper Genie. This method has the practical side benefit of removing the poopy diapers from the house every time you take out the trash as well, instead of waiting for a full Diaper Genie.

Just as another option, you can buy both "The Kicker" and "Solid" from the Amazon.com marketplace (meaning used, directly from another person, but with Amazon's guarantee) for $9.95 plus $2.49 shipping (to U.S. address). And "Africaine" is there (also used) for $11.98, plus the same for shipping. Your half.com prices are very good though, especially if they're new/sealed items.

I saw the McBride show when they passed through Stuttgart back in March. It was a great show (double bill with Gary Burton/Makoto Ozone)! McBride was very talkative, and was really enjoying playing with the guys in his band. I really like Vertical Vision - if you liked the show, definitely pick up the disc! Ron Blake plays great, and my copy (Euro. edition) has some live video on it as well. Was Terreon Gully playing drums with him still?

The show was fantastic! Stacey Kent opened, and played a nice set with her regular band, including her husband Jim Tomlinson on sax, David Newton on piano, and Colin Oxley on guitar. I didn't catch the bass player's name. No drummer to be found. Her set was a mostly standards, elegantly played. She has a great voice, and seemed to be having a good time on stage. Next up was Jane Monheit. She came out with Joel Frahm on sax, Michael Kanan on piano, Joe Martin on bass, and her hubby Rick Montalbano on drums. She looked quite nice, and had a great voice. She sang a mix of standards and Brazilian music, including a cover of "Girl from Ipanema". But she distanced herself from the audience, and to be honest, seemed a little "full" of herself. She was also the only act who didn't receive flowers from the promoters at the end of her set (perhaps something went down backstage prior to the show?). Then came Cassandra Wilson. Her band included Jeff Haynes on percussion, a guitarist and a harmonica player, both names I missed, and Lonnie Plaxico on bass. Plaxico surprised me, because the pre-show advertising said that Reginald Veal was touring with her. At any rate, it was a fantastic group! They played a wide variety of tunes, including a cover of "Lay Lady Lay". Cassandra was really into the performance, and whenever anyone was soloing, she just closed her eyes, and rocked along with them. Other covers included "Corcovado", and "Last Train to Clarksville". She also said her next album was coming out on October 7th, and played a tune from that called "Broken Drum". If it's any indication of the rest of the album, it should be another good'un. I got to talk with Lonnie after the show, and he seemed very friendly. He said he also has a new album himself coming out soon, and pointed me towards his website, which I'll have to take a look at shortly. I also spoke with the harmonica player, and he said he would be on the new Wilson album. Unfortunately I missed out on getting to meet Cassandra after the show though. Their bus was leaving about an hour after the concert, heading down to the Montreux Jazz Festival, where she was playing on Saturday, so she didn't stick around very long. All in all a great show. It was recorded for future television broadcast. The soundman told me that the company doing the recording sells their programs world-wide, so it was very possible it would be shown in the U.S. (PBS maybe?) at some point in time. If anyone happens to notice this one on TV in the U.S., I'd appreciate a heads-up, so I can get a relative to tape it for me. Thanks, Erik

Ubu is correct with Herr Lüning's e-mail address. You can alternately write to Zweitausendeins' customer service at service@zweitausendeins.de. Herr Lüning was VERY helpful in resolving a problem I had with the Evans box set also. I can only give Zweitausendeins a big thumbs up for their customer service. That said, it must also be pointed out that a large number of these inexpensive box sets appear to be selling without the actual box (or slipcover in most cases) and booklet. An employee at my local Zweitausendeins outlet here in Stuttgart told me that they were getting them that way from their source (ZYX directly perhaps?). While I'm not really sure about that, it appears that either the source or zweitausendeins is just trying to get rid of them at fire-sale prices. (maybe ZYX/Fantasy is getting ready to replace these boxes with remastered versions?) Using jlhoots example - he got 22 discs for less than $60, including shipping. This is less than $3/disc. At that price it's difficult to complain, as long as you're getting all of the discs you are paying for. Also another thank you to couw for the great information he has provided.

Maybe someone can clue Kenny G into this music. With his circular breathing techniques, he's a shoo-in to play this piece for the next 639 years, without a break. A guy can hope, anyway.

No offense intended, but I'd be more interested in seeing what someone named "Peter Johnson" would have to say about this topic. After all, he is a "member" of this BB...

I'm excited to be seeing Cassandra Wilson live tomorrow night, here in Stuttgart. Haven't seen her before, but she's probably my favorite contemporary vocalist. Has anybody else seen her on this current tour, or recently, and if so, how was it? I'm not sure who's in her touring group presently either. She's the headliner tomorrow night on a vocal triple bill, with Jane Monheit and Stacy Kent. I've also not seen either of these artists live, so I'm looking forward to the show. Oh, and Candy Dulfer is playing here on Sunday, but I think I'll be passing on that one

Thanks for the offer, medjuck (and welcome to the board!). I ended up purchasing this one locally a few days ago (used, but in good condition), and have been happy with it. It was mostly below my radar screen for a long time, but I finally convinced myself it was worth investigating, to get that last bit of studio Trane/Miles that I was lacking. These "oddball" Miles releases (Quiet Nights to name another) are interesting, and don't seem to get as much recognition as other titles, but often have some very interesting, worthwhile music contained within, that gets missed by alot of folks. And I'm still debating whether to "upgrade" my version of Ascenseur pour l'echafaud from the "Jazz in Paris" version to the Fontana. Thanks, Erik
