misguided ideology

Tatum, Taylor? The latter's squealing drum chair in RVG's studio?

obviously ... except for the "sorely missed" bit, that one is serious!

Very cool, many thanks for sharing!

that's how I'd pronounce it, too - I'd like to know from someone who knows though

the swiss-german-speaking part what about Don Moye? Do you pronounce the "e" at the end?

Patti Bown, I've often wondered ... as in "Brown"? Or as in "bone"?

Yeah, he gave much praise to the great and sorely missed Lester Bowie

Oh, I see! Recently got the old US BN CD of it, myself.

Odeon Pope sends his regards

Why spring if you've already got it? I got that one, too - and it's indeed quite alright. But it's nowhere close to "The Spice of Life" which I absolutely love! Is that first Cadet album similarly fine? The tracklist makes it look like it might be a mixed bag ...

Great news, Jim - congrats!

:-) I was translating peche as fish!! No wonder I couldn't figure out what song it was. what's that fishy smell?

There's a Miles, too ... and a great one by Doris Day And Johnny Cash (another well-picked one, it has his few first Columbia albums in their entirety, I think).

Thanks a lot for posting those pieces, Larry! And thanks everyone for the most enlightening discussion here - I've tried to voice my problems with Wynton, but never as successfully as is being done here.

Sad news indeed. r.i.p. Judging from what little I've heard ("Song For", "Dark Day" and half a dozen ROIOs) he was a fine musician!

Still need the trio from Fledg'ling, too - have never so far heard McGregor in a setting smaller than the Blue Notes ... somehow I'd never think of him as a trio or solo pianist, but I'll eventually find out

Quite wish I had been around to grab the Heifetz! Must be an amzing one (though I absolutely love his earlier EMI recordings on the ICON - I assume they're not included?). Don't think I need the Bernstein, and I guess my about two dozen Horowitz disc are just about enough ... but I'm with you on Gould and Rubinstein, and - later on I hope - Toscanini (I just got a corrected disc one today ... guess I'm ready to get started with it now).

Wynton is ... what the f*ck do I care where he is anyway?

"Miles Ahead" - the whole enchilada, discs 1, 4, 5 and 6 - still in love with this music, after all the years!

r.i.p. that Arvanitas trio was a fine unit!

Am I? You tell me!

That was exactly what I thought - thanks for confirming. Very, very sad.

Chris, are you around?) - either way, this is very unfortunate and extremely sad news. I didn't know about his fall and subsequent brain hemorrhage.
