Leon Spencer is terrific but that is my least favorite Groove Holmes; it’s ruined by electric bass and electric piano. I would go with After Hours or most any other recording of his.
That would mean taking on a lot of debt. The likelihood of financial success is not high. Sapporo is already entertaining offers for sale of the assets so the employees are going to need come up with financing relatively quickly.
The Criterion Channel is showing at no cost Jon Else’s 1981 documentary, The Day After Trinity, about Oppenheimer. Highly recommended.
You can also find it on YouTube.
Lon’s thread is very good and not too much drama. There is also a Mosaic thread, although the one here is better. You should check out the baseball and books threads there. Very active.
I agree. Most of the music doesn’t interest me. If they had a box that did, I might consider it. They were having a sale on their Vanguard box last year; I purchased it for $130. Good deal. Must be a slow mover.
True. I find this place a little too caustic at times. It’s not what it used to be when we had a lot more active members, who have become alienated from here.
I’m with you. Pretty meaningless and I dislike all this miking up players. I hate to sound like one of those how things were better years ago but players use to take this game seriously, not like they do now.
I don’t think that’s completely correct. I went through the responses and there are eleven no’s, six yesses and four maybes. Over on Hoffman, the reverse is the case: seven yesses, two maybes and two no’s.
