  1. Compared to any store in Dallas, the Tower near Lincoln Center is still quite good. Used to be. The Jazz section is about half the size it was 10 years ago, but it's worth checking out. ←
  2. An obnoxious store and inferior to Tower. Very expensive. ←
  3. It looks like a new live Sonny Rollins is coming out, according to this article excerpt. "Rollins' most recent example of the art of the improviser is forthcoming in August in a remarkable album, "Without a Song (The 9/ 11 Concert)," recorded live in Boston only four days after the terrorist attacks. (Rollins was at his Manhattan apartment six blocks from the World Trade Center during the attack, and was famously shown on television, being escorted to safety, with his saxophone in hand.) As you can imagine, the concert program of standards like "Why Was I Born?" and "Where or When" has riveting improvisations, empowered by the potent emotions of the time, and is Rollins' exhibit A in the case for the healing power of music."
  4. Yes, it happened again-- 388764b Carlinhos Brown/Bebo Valdes/Marisa Monte--- Miracle Of Candeal 30182b Baden Powell -- Solitude On Guitar 69088j Clifford Jordan --- These Are My Roots -- Clifford Jordan Plays Leadbelly
  5. It's been a long time since this movie. Is David Lynch working on a new one?
  6. I must be out of touch--what's a "DualDisc"? It's out now as a DualDisc. I doubt it will ever be issued as a plain CD. If anyone knows where I can hear sample clips, LMK. ←
  7. Also the recent Mingus at Montreux DVD, and there's an excellent Gene Ammons at Montreux (with Dexter Gordon and Cannonball Adderley on one extended jam session).
  8. I'd love to hear that recording. When will it be out on CD?
  9. I could not agree with you more--a fantastic recording.
  10. I came across a Columbia Legacy cutout CD today of the Lunceford band--Lunceford Special, 1939-1940--and snapped it right up, thanks to this thread--definitely some swinging music on this one.
  11. Tango--saw the Heath Brothers play there in late 1983.
  12. I have one ECM session on LP where he was the leader--the Jewell in the Lotus.
  13. I received 7 out of 8 ordered yesterday. A second order of 8 is on it way.
  14. Their website doesn't appear to be working. The concert is described in the Dallas Observer (page 39). They give a phone no., 214-565-9026, ext. 301.
  15. I picked that one up yesterday, and it is fantastic. In addition to the Round About Midnight album (purchased here for the third time), there are four excellent miscellaneous studio tracks (Budo, Sweet Sue and Melonae I only had on my old Basic Miles LP), the Newport Round Midnight performance with Monk, and the Pasadena concert (which is in excellent sound).
  16. It would appear that David Fathead Newman will be performing in Fair Park, at 6 p.m., on Saturday, June 18. https://www.aamdallas.org/juneteenth%2005.htm
  17. When I checked on Sunday, the sale was over.
  18. Yes, a favorite record of mine, and just prior to its recording, November 19, 1974, was the night of my sole fortunate opportunity to see Mr. Mingus and this group. Remember Rockefellar at Attica is a great composition. Mingus played it with Pullen and Adams on Changes One. ←
  19. I have the Lacy/Watson Mingus tribute, and it is indeed a good one. I especially like their versions of Free Cell Block F, Goodbye Pork Pie Hat and Remember Rockefellar at Attica.
  20. The sale is still ongoing, by the way.
  21. Not jaded, just idiots.
  22. I also received an email yesterday, saying all but one that I ordered had been shipped, with one cancelled.
  23. I don't recall hearing any better sounding live recordings from this era.
  24. He already answered that question in this very thread.
