That's sad news. His breathing sounds labored on the cadenza of "I Thought About You" on Joey DeFrancesco's "Organic Vibes"

Sweet. Will have to check that out

Really? Thanks for the info then.

Stanley Turrentine: Look Out (Collector's Choice), A Bluish Bag (BN Conn) Monk: Misterioso K2 Herbie: Mwandishi The Complete Warner Bros. Recordings Trane: Expression Steve Gadd and Friends: Live at Voce Joshua Redman: Back East, Compass (rebought these two actually) Art Blakey & the JM'S: Roots and Herbs, Witch Doctor

I picked up the Collector's Choice version today, got it for free actually, as I bought the requisite number of used discs. Anyway my question is, how is this old version vs. the RVG and Mosaic? Clips of the RVG seemed too bright to me, and this old McMaster is one of the ok ones it seems.

I wish I could help you, I'd like a real copy too, but I just have the Amazon CDR version

I have to disagree with you guys on the California Concert, sorry!

I'll try to get that Shawn, it's still in print

Thanks guys!

I have this on hold for me at a local store being sold for $8! Is it worth the purchase?

For the whole set?

I have one, Bobby Hutcherson: Live at Montreux. The booklet copy is a little dark but otherwise, it's ok.

Interesting ad, wow.

Tony Kadleck is from right here in Binghamton. He comes back and jams during holidays.

For me, very early on in life like 4 or 5 years old: The Sermon: JOS- something about the sound of the organ man Bernstein/New York Philharmonic: 1812 Overture/Marche Slave/Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture: So this didn't have real cannons, but this is the only version of the piece I love to this day because of the energy and passion of the interpretation, all the fire and passion Bernstein brought to the NYP. My mom says when I was 2 and she played this record, I said "fire, mommy, fire!" Count Basie: On the Road. Definition of swing, and I thought the red vinyl was magical. A little later on. Alan Parsons Project: Tales of Mystery and Imagination Pat Metheny Group: We Live Here. In my senior year of HS, I borrowed this disc, and previously I hated Metheny, though it was too smooth. I was wrong, the track "To the End of the World" and the title tune changed my views forever. Pat's soaring guitar synth solo on the former and the guitar synth melody lead of the latter were awesome.. It opened me up to everything, even the avant garde. A journey through jazz and other music still growing to this day. Also growing up in the 90's, this album used loops that were a fabric of the time, something I recognized from a lot of dance music, and used in cool ways with the harmonic complexity of the Group's music. Really, this record as much as anything in Metheny and the Group's cannon is a huge genre fuck, making people ask "what kind of music is this?"

Tony Williams "Tokyo Live" at the time was just a double album new release.

Just wondering cuz it seems most "new" releases after the rebirth of the label like "Tales From the Hudson" have an inverted orange/black label, as does "Stellar Regions", "Live in Seattle" has a black label with orange Impulse! logo, and the "Love Supreme" disc 2 has a black/white label. So my guess is the 1995-1998 Impulse! reissues with the orange/black labels don't use the original LP design either? The Originals series seem to.

Doesn't appear to be the case Bertrand.

No problem

III, For Sure and United are being reissued Feb. 8th by Wounded Bird. Looks like "Night Music" is going OOP again.

Nice stuff Jim!

Damn. Always enjoyed his show on NPR

Cool this is coming out as an official release......

You know I am!

Part of this looks like a control freak/abuser relationship.
