  1. I got this as well, excellent sound on the main set, but the mix is strange and Irv Rochlin is way down in it
  2. Ordered both the Dex and Woody, should be here tommorrow along with two exclusive new albums Chick Corea is only selling at his site... Vigilette, Tempus Fugit a new trio recording with Carlitos Del Puerto and Marcus Gilmore and a new Akoustic Band album, which for the for seeable future will only be available in Japan.
  3. Get well Mr. Burrell! One of my favorites
  4. Right that's true....... I'll make an addendum. And you are welcome, Jim.
  5. "Teotihuacan" is on Live, Volume 3
  6. I've had one for a decade that still works! But now I use a Toshiba canvio 2TB external HDD
  7. RIP. One of my influences with writing!
  8. The first review in a special series devoted to deep catalog items in my collection http://bit.ly/2TurDSn
  9. Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered a copy Actually I may order a copy soon.
  10. That should be a good fight too although Spence is too big for Garcia, it could result in a big KO for Spence. I think next weekend Josesito Lopez may stop Keith Thurman. Thurman hates body shots.
  11. Don't care about that fight, really, will be watching the UFC tommorrow night. Broner has natural ability but the fact he doesn't take things seriously is beyond sad, and the fact he's struggled with lesser opposition like Adrian Granados and Jesse Vargas didn't bode well. Jacobs vs Canelo will be good in May though.

  13. RIP as I make my way through the AEOC set, such great contributions
  14. When I interviewed him a few years ago I just got the impression he's a huge fan, he's a nice guy. I do think in the music field though ego does become this huge thing tht's so hard to avoid, which is why about my own work I try to be egoless.
  15. Connie Han I have interviewed and really dig her playing.

  17. When I went to the Jazz Standard show with Joey, Mark Whitfield and Lenny White, they were smokin. Joey and I spoke about JOS after the gig, it was cool... he was very impressed I knew a bunch of obscure (relatively) tunes like "Side Mouthin" to which I yelled out when he said "we're gonna play the blues". He replied "that guy knows his stuff!!!"
  18. Damn, RIP
  19. No, but now that you mentioned it, I went to check the remaining discs and they are all there, not even a quarter through the set yet. But the doubles do have minor scuffing/surface scratches for me b/c both discs tend to want to slide out on top of each other in one pocket. They play/ripped fine so no problem. Last night before I ripped it to my hard drive, disc 1 of Urban Bushmen slid out of the jacket onto the floor, thankfully label side down, but the discs do slide out of the jackets VERY easy. Be very careful removing them.
  20. "Zero Gravity #913"? it's not on Emanon. This forthcoming volume would be of interest to me for the looks at Tony Williams tunes and I assume "The Alternate Announcements" is another comedic band intro from the Tokyo Live dates. The focus of these sets no matter how cool and fun the extras may be, being on vinyl is a less appealing point to me. I don't do vinyl, even if it includes the 2 CD compilation.
  21. Got mine yesterday morning, and it's numbered 3,496/6,000. Up to disc 1 of Urban Bushmen and this is my first real introduction to AEoC outside of hearing some of There's A Jackson In Your House, and Bap-tizum. I'm loving it. Think I'll get thru to The Third Decade before bed. The percussion sections of "Folkus" and "Bush Magic" are great. The "issues" some people over at Hoffman are having with the disc packaging and crushed spines, honestly is silly. I'm a collector too as we all are, but I laughed reading their reactions. Yeah a few of the disc spines are crooked in my set, but you can get them to straighten out, and by squeezing the mouth of the jackets the discs come out easily without damage. I am very happy to be able to hear Divine Love, New Directions and New Directions in Europe for the first time and although I liked Bells From The Southside and gave it a good review, after hearing all these discs it'll put it in better context and my appreciation will grow, I think.
