I made myself burned copies of JOS at the Organ vols 1&2 from the Mosaic so I don't have to keep diggin it out just for those albums. But I goofed on Vol. 2 by putting the alternate Plum Nellie instead of the master while everything else is ok.

yes, Tjazz when Jimmy's first 3 albums (including the above shown vol. 3) were reissued in a 2 CD set a few years ago.

"Don't Get Too Hip" now, thats the stuff............ what a great opener

oh yeah, good show, this is from the Speaking of Now tour in 2002, I have it on tape.

I heard this news on the yahoo Pat Metheny list. I will call my local red cross blood center monday to inquire about getting a local blooddrive set up for Michael/getting the blood to him in NY for the transplant. I fwd the email to several musicians on the local jazz scene here.

I'm up for buying it

so Jim, mine will be comin next week or somethin right? yay it will be signed! And this time by people I sorta know personally!

yeah Joe, me too.......... sometimes the humor makes me go lol

Raul Midon is incredibly talented, but that song And I thought "Rockit" for worst Herbie song couldn't be topped (tho the recent live versions are a lot better)

I notice quite a bit of Harold Vick in Grover Washington's tone on tenor, anybody else catch this?

his colorations on WR "Live in Tokyo" are amazing, inventive. I certainly hear the major influence he had on Airto.

yes, they are VERY reliable. If you live in a place like NY state your order arrives in a day in half almost. As for Europe, dunno.

Soulstream, I hear you on the JOS. I have the 2 CD reissue from a few years ago myself and the sound is fine. Now if the RVG had the two bonu tracks with Babs Gonzales I'd consider it.

I've bought KoB just once. the '97 reissue. hey, I'm young

Amen!

this piece was a load of crap. The only overdubbing early on in Miles' career I am aware of is on "Miles Ahead".

I'm gonna check it out cuz its Herbie. I mean, anything is better than Feets Don't Fail Me Now, Sound System, Future Shock and Perfect Machine. Gotta give props to Herbie staying current.

youmustbe, that statement about Jack seems a little off to me, it seems he clearly enjoys himself in the trio. Where did such info come up that "he only does the gig for the money"?

well, you know everyone, you can go to that wonderful Japanese site if you don't like the cover you can just print it out and put it in front of the cover insert. They do print out nice.

LOL! Herbie's Handcocked

well, with my limited collection of GG as a leader I have to say "Talkin About" and "Grantstand" are my favorites, as is his playing on Stan the Man's "Up at Minton's" which is due for another spin in my player.

I saw Carl Allen a few months ago, it was great! Very nice guy too. Closest thing to having a Blakey experience for me.

my "Japanese For Dummies" book states that in Japanese culture it is very disrespect to say your mom is hot. Very interesting.

yeah, I gotta grab that album sometime.

thanks Lon! when Jack explodes it has a completely musical purpose, not a chops fest. Also I really love the way he plays the bass drum, it really adds an implied funk quality in a lot of what he does I feel. Ex: check his classic what I like to call "broken funk" rhythm on Charlie Haden's portion of "Two Folk Songs" also on "80/81". Ditto for "The Turnaround", his loose swing makes Pat exclaim at the song's end "wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Jack DeJohnette man!" or Lee Morgan's "Jack, Jack, Jack! Jack be nimble, Jack be quick!" at the end of that absolutely burning, vicious, torrid "Speedball" on "Live at the Lighthouse". His playing on that brings everybody to a whole 'nother level, especially Lee and Bennie Maupin when they each trade 12's with him.
