CJ Shearn

saw him live last month when he played tunes from the album, it was great.

damn man. I enjoy his "Black Pearl" album very much

thanks Chuck. Windows media player says 79 minutes but I thought it was longer than that. Has anyone else had a similar problem with this disc?

ok, apparently it won't play properly in a CD or DVD drive in the computer, thankfully it does in an regular player.

I just came home with my 2nd copy of Trane's "Ascension", and for the 2nd time in a row it appears "Edition I", in the last two minutes, skips and will not play through to the end, it pretty much cuts off during Elvin's pressroll. I've tried it in multiple players. Is this among the problems Impulse! never fixed among Trane reissues?

I have all three otherwise I'd bite. the trio discs are nice

most of Jarrett's work since "Whisper Not" has had far less audible vocalizing, but that sorta thing never bothered me anyway. Herbie sounds like hes on the toilet when he plays but I never have heard complaints about that, or when Hank and Jackie Mac make breath/grunt noises between phrases, but I always thought maybe Hank did that b/c he smoked a lot, and got out of breath real quick. Of course, when guys like Johnny Griffin and Arnett Cobb took breaths between phrases it just sounds like what they just played felt really good to them and they let out a grunt.

RIP. I know you guys were real close. If you ever wanna talk about it, email me

great blindfold test, JOS was more forgiving than I've heard him be.

I bought it last night and like what I've heard-all of disc 1 so far. it's really eerie how much Lenny White sounds like Tony circa "Miles in the Sky" on "Spanish Key", not just in playing but the way he's mixed, its got that dry Columbia Studio B sound like on "Miles in the Sky"

damn. RIP

thanks!

thanks. I read they are heavy glossy covers, now, do the discs scratch easily when removing them from the jackets? trying to decide if I need to buy a bunch of double jewel cases for these, but at 22 discs, it may be easier just keeping them in the original packaging

I'm going to pick up this box next friday, I'll be able to with coupons and discounts get it for $25 at Barnes&Noble. Is everything in mini LP sleeves in this box?

I have quite a few of these discs in the series, because I had many of the recordings growing up on vinyl in the "Great Performances" series. Some of the performances like Beethoven's Eroica or Mahler's 2nd symphony are fantastic. Maybe the sound isn't the greatest and maybe versions by other conductors/orchestras may be better but I always really loved the passion in those Bernstein/NY Philharmonic recordings.

man that was funky. Seriously, Marvin really cut all those tracks on a sofa?

the Keystone Bop albums are some of my favorite 80's Hubbard. Great playing by Booby and JoHen on that, tho I think at that point at times Freddie would sort of resort to licks a lot when he'd stretch out on those tunes. I do get a kick out of tho, that that lip trill/shake lick shows up on "Ascension" that must be where it was first used.

I like the clips I checked out of the new album saw the link to AAJ on the yahoo Metheny list. I am attracted by traditional Chinese sounds as well as Japanese

I'll have to pull it out again, while say I've listened to more post bop, modal, inside outside and free things the past several years rather than hard bop, definitely one of my fav. blowing date type albums. Philly Joe is smokin on the title cut, the swing never flags, and of course Clark's hip ass opening phrase which owes as much to the vocabulary of Horace and Wynton Kelly in addition to his own.

I don't really like pitch bend on synths either, whenever Herbie does it, it drives me nuts especially when he uses the synth emulation of the clavinet as he has for the past 20 years. I never understood the faces when your just bending a tone wheel, I like to make fun of that with my keyboard

this video, I know many of us here are into great sound reproduction but this video made me laugh, really. This must be what Greg Maltz's setup is like. Me? I'm fine with my Grado SR 60's

been a fan of Coryell since I saw him live, and he took time out by his own initiative to talk to me between sets. I will definitely be getting this

retouched cover to come ? LOL! thankfully I had gotten an RVG of "Workout" with the fixed cover

damn, I heard him deliver a blistering set back in 1995 when NPR broadcast the Playboy Jazz Festival live.

I find it odd Jim your dorm mates didn't get the duet performance. Was it b/c at that time both Sonny and McCoy had expanded beyond what they were in the 60's (McCoy) and the 50's and 60's? (Sonny)
