They (Scots and Texans) sound very alike...think of George W Bush and Billy Connolly for instance

This a Coen bothers film---of COURSE the joke's on the viewer. I agree: When Moss is taken out, off-camera, it's a huge cheat. The rest of the film was pretty much crap, excepting perhaps the confrontation between Anton and Moss's wife. I know that some people will scream that that's the way the novel goes, but since I never read the novel (and now never intend to) I can only judge it as a movie, and frankly any movie based on a novel has to stand or fall by how it functions as a movie. And one conclusion I've reached about the Coens long ago is that they are incapable of simply making a "good movie"---they can't help playing silly, self-referential, post-modern games. Fucking around, in other words. But they've got two-thirds of a good movie here, which is really great for them. Now I saw this the other evening on my own Liked it in general Bit violent for my liking but that comes with the territory I guess I did like the way in which one of the main characters was killed off screen..that was different..... The ending was messed up really for me but again that is my problem I suppose...too much conversation

Have both and they are truly really nice records and were a surprising find during a Blue Note drought

Had most of the King records and then the Mosaic on LP then cd. Also had the straight 2 cd set. In my opinion I would go for the Mosaic for best overall sound and reliability and what is on offer. The Kings are very very nice...very very expensive and in my opinion not worth the extra for my ears

It would not take up too much room even if they are pdf files (should not at least) If you download all the piccies at gokudo ...they are not that big are they?...Mind you it is not so much effort to go there directly I guess. On the earlier point I have the 2nd version of the discography which is excellent.I would have love an electronic version though but pdf version....hmmm....cannot add notes etc...hmmm

blame Bill Gates....he never dug John Patton...was always a freddie roach head so I heard On a serious note...my browser opened it ( mind you I am trialing the Beta version 3 .4)

No maybe not ...but when I said this is on Blue Note....the label I am nuts about ....and you might also like this...well she was hooked...did not get her into too much but they do have a grant green lp and Blue Train in their house now

Disagree What is more important for me is that she was the first thing with Blue Note on it that I bought both for my Mum! and me She never got in to my taste in Jackie McLean and Grachan Moncur III at the time

I think the post earlier about Blue Note in 2000+ being not like the Blue Note it was reissuing for us resonates with many people...but she didn't half shift a load of cds

that is true nor like it was earlier or even a little later....never really had a fav period Got my stuff on Horace in the fifties and 70's ...same with Lee Morgan and Donald Byrd and and and

hmmm the question is ...would the grey suits and corporate boys have ruined Blue Note despite what they saw after after N Jones success story. ... I will put it another way It was a long time since I bought a New artist release on Blue Note...like since Jimmy Smith and Stanley Turrentine did stuff in the late 80's....no...tell a lie I did get a Charlie Hunter record and the US3 stuff How does that figure I was given some Orphy Robinson which stays unplayed Nothing they have done recently has been of interest ( new stuff new material)

........and Dianne Reeves from the 80's, L Rawls, While I am on the subject....reminds me how despite a killer opener track ...just how bad Freddie Roach's All that's good was

No but I can think of a whole lot more horrible releases I have heard with a Blue note sticker on and so can you. She is not the most direct link I can think of to Horace Silver ok but then neither were a few other other nice LPs I got rid of ...strings and voices usually are not the largest part of my Blue Note collection.

There was another live Blackbyrds set later here Donald Byrd and the Blackbyrds Paul's Mall Boston, MA probably Summer 1976 FM broadcast > total time 36:38 1 Walkin' In Rhythm 2 Happy Music 3 Do It Fluid 4 Rock Creek Park The earlier set that dumpy mama referred to was this I think Donald Byrd Seven The Jazz Workshop Boston, MA 4 September 1973 WBCN-FM broadcast total time 72:29 1 Kwame (?) 2 Fancy Free 3 The Good Reverend 4 Flight Time Donald Byrd - trumpet Kevin Toney - piano Keith Kilgo - drums Ray Armando - conga David Williams - bass Bernard Perry - guitar Alan Barnes - saxophones, flute

Mind you this is a great idea for a thread.....its like having family over at XMas all over again and having the same old rows

See....I never got the whole we hate Norah Jones and it ain't jazz thing. I have to say I have always ....and I mean this honestly even though I registered on THAT website as Norah Jones for a laugh at the over the top remarks ..always liked her music some of it is a little jazzy some of it ain't. I always thought it was healthy for Blue Note to have her in however since then the men in grey suits have moved in to make even more bucks so perhaps it did not work according to plan I think she is a very good performer but that does not interfere with my listening to Andrew Hill or Lee Morgan. and lets face it there are some awful singers out there...be they jazz singers or not....by the way I usually turn off jazz vocals...save a little Billie Holiday or Ella. So leave her alone..... Or else

Yes, nothing that changed my life, but it is nice to finally have gotten a chance to hear the Dameron session! Hmm I picked it up...was not the best Blue Note LP I ever bought but was a really nice idea...wish there had been a few more of them. I would of course flock to get anything that did surface for that reason...its new...I ain't heard it.....its got x and y on . I remember hearing other unreleased stuff via friends...ok it was not a revelation but certainly in the case of the Kenny Dorham set mentioned it was worth a release ...sounded good...cooked etc

The Pep dates by Silver were rejected so I read ( cannot remember when) because the bassist was from out of town and getting some stick off the drunken locals and was also new so his playing was not as it was usually so the gig just did not flow to Horace's satisfaction. However I am sure that in my quest for all things Horace a quick listen would be more than acceptable ( as log as off course I forgot all about it afterwards)

i for once behaved myself

I always find it occassions like this that if I have 90% already they only release a box with 85% However I do not have much of AJ...might have a look at this

What sacrilige ....who forgot to mention the Worzels. See you can claim credit for jazz and maybe a bit of blues in teh US but you have not got claim to the masters of modernity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wurzels

Why don't you send them to the US Security Dept and tell them that they contain evidence of new abuse by US troops interrogating prisoners and I bet the tapes will disappear magically with no carbon foot print

I would like to ask you to keep my bid for £5.25 for the entire collection including shipping and storage costs - secret. I have used the government postal system to register my bid on a cd romwhich they assure me has been safely delivered. I will of course pass on any double I receive to kinder members here.

still loving this a week on

Hey ..how about a Mosaic big huge box set one off....with all of em! Just to break the bank It WOULD be worth it
