Dave Garrett

Seems like San Antonio gets better big name jazz than any other Texas city. Just this year or so I've seen, Herbie, Wayne, James Moody, Wynton & LCO, Joey Defrancesco and others in SA. I'll post if I see anything else come up. ← Wayne is also playing in Houston next month (October 14): http://www.dacamera.com/artist3.html Dave ← Damn and double damn! Here in Houston and I'm playing my own concert tonight and can't go! Hey, you must be David Garrett from the Mobius forum? Hi! ← One and the same - I obviously post more frequently there than here, but I didn't discover the "big O" until fairly recently. You have my sympathies for the scheduling conflict - if it's any consolation, I'll think of you while I'm listening to Wayne and his band in a few hours.

Wow, that's unbelievable. I got one of these a couple of years ago and only paid $150 or so for it. Plus this one doesn't include the 2-disc "Away From The Past", which contains material from other 1966 shows and was issued with some copies of the box set in the same kind of gatefold mini-LP sleeve as the other discs, with matching artwork.

I just picked up a sealed copy of this set on eBay a couple of months ago for $46.00 - I was kinda surprised I got it, as I'd recently been outbid on another one that wasn't sealed but still sold for significantly more than that.

Agreed - when my wife and I were married, we used "The Single Petal of a Rose" for the wedding processional music. I made sure Ellington had a prominent role at the reception, too: our first dance as bride and groom was to "Day Dream", and the entire Far East Suite was played during the evening as well. Dave
