  1. Just an f.y.i...you have an extra "i" in your subject title's spelling of Mosaic.
  2. Happy Birthday Rooster!
  3. That should be quite a yield!!!
  4. That's Spamtastic!!!
  5. Plus six bucks for shipping?!!!!
  6. Have a great Birthday!!
  7. Oh yeah, he did ask that question. I think that Booker Little title might have been released under a different name, on a more legit label. It might even be the one w/ Teddy Charles.
  8. Can you post the line-up, date, etc.? Some of these that I have seen are/have been released under different names (i.e., "Ted Curson w/ Eric Dolphy" on JazzView, I believe was "Cattin' Curson"). If you don't have the tracks elsewhere, it might be work grabbing if it's not too steep.
  9. But then again, I'd pay $$$ to hear some alternates of "Songbird".
  10. I have many a Miles Davis photo, numerous posters of him (the Apple one, a concert one or two), a Freddie/Herbie concert poster from '73 which I won on ebay and still feel like this when I look at it. I also have a signed Ted Curson promo pic., in which he thanks me for having great ears (after telling him that I liked his playing on "Mingus at Antibes"). I have the Donald Byrd poster where he's playing his horn on the subway. So yeah, I've impulse-bought a lot of this shit over the years, and not regretted it.

    Neil Young

    My faves are: American Stars 'n' Bars, Harvest, Live Rust, and Harvest Moon. Love Neil Young.
  12. Happy Birthday, Wes! !!
  13. Happy Birthday, Noj!!!
  14. I have the Sweets and Rich, but I'd rather sell than trade. You down?
  15. I have a copy of his book "Writings in Jazz" which I keep meaning to read. Maybe if I move it to the bathroom I'll get through a few chapters. -_- I really enjoy his albums with Woody Shaw and Carmell Jones.
  16. Sorry, Jeff. I'll tell you if I ever spot another one. MM
  17. Sold. FWIW, I wasn't one of the lucky few from that Sam Goody bonus deal.
  18. Sent you a P.M., and an email (P.M. didn't seem to want to work).
  19. Dear God! That would be the score of all scores!!!
  20. More fundraising! I checked out Amazon's listings, and new it was $260ish, used $208, so I thought was a fair asking price. 16 cd's, mostly unplayed. It's the smaller-sized box version. In great condition. Shipping free in U.S.. Great music, but you must already have known this.
  21. Having to raise some dough to pay 'ye olde mortgage. This book has 239 full-color illustrations/55 in monochrome. It was released as a tribute to the 40th anniversary of the founding of Pacific Jazz Records. A nice book w/ some tasty album covers, in good condition. The dust cover has a few small creases. Paypal preferred.
  22. Pistons may be the "cream", but losing to the Hawks didn't strengthen their status over, say...Dallas

    Miles Davis question

    Well then extending this definition into the modern internet peer-to-peer era, Charlie Hunter is the premier icon of modern jazz. At this point, clearly a proven jazz genius capable of communication on a sublime level, a self-taught pioneering innovator on his instrument at the level of a Rhasaan, one of the most distinctive stylists around, practically invented the modern "jazz plus" culture, self-taught, self-promoted, more-and-more self-marketed and self-distributed (music and merchandise), anti-corporate, extremely web-savvy, a shrewd businessman in both performance realms (live tours and studio sessions), ability and true love for multiple funk-rock-jam-band-whatever genres and unashamed if these are probably more profitable that serious acoustic jazz, a rock-solid bandleader, an emerging educator, a consumate associate and promoter of younger talent (most notably, John Ellis, the best 20-something tenor on the scene) ..... ... and, finally, easily the most well-known name in jazz in the under-40 set who have even a modicum of hipness (in other words, their knowledge of jazz extends outside the doors of Starbucks), And from what I can tell, he massively enjoys it all. Not just the music, but also running his own show in life. In reply to johnagrandy's post regarding Hunter; Minus the compositional success of your Monks or Brubecks, and I'd opine that the "innovation" w/ Hunter is more about the Kirk-ish approach than the "content". I'd rather see Hunter than Brubeck in concert, BTW.
