sorry cats, I don't drink!

I heard something like a beer bottle falling over. is that what it is?

$2 I meant. hehe

not the RVG, but I found the disc yesterday at a joint that sells mostly metal and hip hop, for $2! what a find.

no problem.

well, tonight it was disc 1 of "80/81" and "3 Quartets" and tomm I'll spin his debut, "Tales from the Hudson" a few live shows, including an incredible one with Pat, Larry Goldings and Bill Stewart from Germany in 2000, and I'll watch the DVD I have of a great performance in '97 of Herbie's "New Standard" band from Montreux. Brecker, Scofield, DeJohnette and Alias are on fire for that one. Thanks again Mike for the beautiful music you made, though I don't remember much of seeing you live when I was 7, I will remember all the great stuff you put out as I have seriously listened to you. I bet you, Trane and Elvin are having one hell of a jam session up there

I am very sad. He has beeen my fav. tenor the last several years and I think I will spin "80/81" by Pat Metheny in a bit, which has some of his very best playing IMO. His first album is a classic.

yeah, thats true. "what's that on the cover of Here 'Tis"

I might have to check this out based on the talk you guys are giving it!

"also Grady Tate's wife brought down some home cooked chicken, so we were layin back chompin on chicken and havin a ball" hey guys thats it........ on your next album have "Organissimo Rap" "we'd like to thank the cats on our board, Sangrey, Chewy, CJ, those are all some crazy motherfuckers, especially CJ, that Jimmy Smith, McDuff and Pat Metheny loving freak. oh yeah, chewy too, Hank Mobley's lover"

I was unaware of Wounded Bird's reissue of this (that's because Jazzmatazz is not updated like it used to be) and I picked it up, had it on vinyl originally. Back then I thought this session wasn't so great but listening to it now, its got some great work from George Benson, and Grady Tate swings his ass off and of course the monologue is classic Organissimo has covered "Mimosa" so

I have them too. My opinion of Legacy differs a bit from Soulstream, I think it's a great send off.

CDUniverse still has them. I don't think their OOP yet.

anyway, I really dig the LeDonne/Alexander/Bernstein/Farnsworth bands' two Savant releases, how does this OOP album stack up?

so..... is this going to be an audience recording? LOL. I already preordered

it has 6 tunes aside from Joey's introduction. Anyone know anything about this disc?

the VSOP stuff, he appears on McCoy's "Together", uh................... can't think of more at the moment

this was hilarious

still nothing yet! (as of Friday afternoon) I just hope this is a case of the holidays/President Ford death, delaying the time it takes the package in getting to me.

a "jazz fill" inspired by Neil Peart. http://learnlicks.com/watchVideo.cfm?lickID=195 uh, Neil Peart and jazz? the guy can't swing in the traditional way to save his life! great rock drummer and technician, yes, great jazz drummer? no.

ok, thats great! I will be waiting. Thanks everyone

the sound on the 1988 Sky Dive CD is garbage, the horns sound like their MIDI horns, terrible remastering job. I sold it a long time ago. Fortunately, the UK edition of "First Light" is quite good, it contains a nearly 17 minute long unreleased "First Light" from the concerts that produced the Freddie Hubbard/Stanley Turrentine "In Concert" albums. Stan sits out on that track though.

JOS at Smalls Paradise had several tracks that were never issued on CD at all, only LP in Japan.

I ordered Freddie Hubbard and Stanley Turrentine in Concert vol. 1 from the bastards, and well it shipped December 26th and according to the shipping confirmation it said my order would be in my hands by January 3rd. That was yesterday, I called them and they said if nothing comes by monday or tuesday of next week, to call them so they can issue credit. Nothing came today, and I have received all my other post x-mas packages from CDUniverse and the like, the tracking number online gets me no new info. What should I do? I've had nothing but great service from DG in the past, should I report the item as lost yet? They shipped me the last copy of that CD.
