Since Bitches Brew isn't as big of a deal to me as having the big KoB set was with the blue vinyl, and since the Tanglewood show is at Wolfgang's Vault, think the Legacy Edition of BB will fit the bill with the DVD? I'll still have to hang on to the '99 version as the Legacy Edition does not contain "Feio".

Ahh well, still... "Way Out West" is an INCREDIBLE album sonically, have to admit its my first time listening to it. Just one of those things. Listening through my Audio Technica studio monitor phones (like the ones Jim mixed his solo record on) and with my EQ pretty much flat.

I bought it at Coconuts the other day and b/c of the sticker on the back of the box, does it say if those are new masterings in that box? "Way Out West" sounds stunning.

Ahh!!!!! I see. I have all 6 previous releases, but this will have to wait till it comes out.

I didn't see a preorder link for the 2010 music of Silver set yet.

Definitely.

The Yoshi's and Live at the Kennedy Center albums are very good.

Geri Allen, Terri Lynne Carrington, Cindy Blackman, Ingrid Jensen, Anat Cohen and Hiromi Uehara.

Today: Kevin Eubanks: Live at Bradley's Greg Osby: Invisible Hand John Coltrane: Giant Steps (Rhino Replica) Branford Marsalis: Metamorphosen Yesterday: Ella At Juan Les Pins David Murray: Big Band, Saxmen Roy Hargrove's Crisol: Habana Michael Brecker: Now You See It, Now You Don't

Bird, Dolphy, LD, James Spaulding, Jackie Mac, Cannon and Kenny Garrett, and once I hear more, Rudresh Mahanthappa.

This should be good. "The Cloister" is an insane composition.

Wow............. interesting article indeed

That's funny as hell! Great stuff.

Damn, RIP

Wow, if those are considered legal I sure as hell wouldn't buy them. Glad for the official US releases by the labels themselves.

It's difficult. Tried it in High school

Are those new versions of "Matador" and "Solid" going to be released on CD? I think "Tomcat" is out as an XRCD now.

More JOS!

Tonally, not even remotely. Vocabulary-wise...there are "overlaps". Exactly. Like the fast trill lick that goes to a ritardando. I never mistook Henderson for Brecker or Smith for DeFrancesco either.

Ravi is a very good player though so it might be interesting to see how BN handles things with him.

Right..... even though Joe had that incredible creative run with Milestone, whether it worked musically all the time, IDK..... still strong though. I think maybe Joe thought "hey I did this first" and someone else was taking the credit in bringing it to a larger audience. I think Jimmy Smith felt the same way with how the media treated Joey DeFrancesco when he was first coming up and paid him all that attention being the young guy bringing jazz organ back.

Good point. I just never understood why Henderson was so sour about it.

I have been thinking about this one, I think Jim Sangrey brought it up here once, that Henderson called Brecker an "imitator". I've heard Henderson licks in Mike's playing before, but did Joe feel he wasn't properly acknowledged for the influence? Brecker always said how much of an impact Joe had on his playing.

Man, that's a shame. Was listening to his great playing on the "Endless Miles" disc, and his playing on those two Joey DeFrancesco albums from a few years ago is excellent too.

MJQ: Django (K2) The Jazz Messengers with Monk Ben Webster and Associates (VME) Gil Evans: The Complete Pacific Jazz Sessions (Conn) (all these were $7.99 used! the MJQ was free) Endless Miles (one of the first webcasts I ever watched) Almost got some David Murray also, there was David Murray Big Band on DIW, and I forget what else.
