Also Jack Wilkins “You Can’t Live Without It”. Randy & Michael playing straight ahead standards- Invitation, Freight Trane, What Is This Thing Called Love and What’s New. Really nice session IMO.

Shipping email received. Really looking forward to this one! Happy holidays everyone!

Thanks guys- I hope you are all well and happy!

Thanks guys! I haven't been visiting the board as much lately, but I check in often to see what's up. I've been very busy with my new life in Boulder- a great job at CU and lots of work in Denver and the surrounding area. Lots of great players out here! I really love being around the mountains and I feel that this will be the "last stop" for me. Looking through this thread I see my journey through the last 10 years or so. A little freaky. Hope everyone is well and keep on swingin! FFA

HaPpY bIrThDaY jAmEs ! !

Thanks everybody!

And grab your hat. Leave your worries on the doorstep!

Horace Silver made it part of the melody of "Quicksilver" (his contrafact on Lover Come Back To Me changes). He also quotes "Hey You Beautiful Doll" on the same tune.

The "Live at the Vanguard" birthday trifecta is again upon us- Sonny 9/7, Wilbur Ware 9/8 and Elvin Jones 9/9.

Happy Birthday, Jim!

Wow, this thread goes back a couple lifetimes!

Thanks so much everyone! Thinking back on the last ten years on this board- man, things have changed a lot in my life! Glad to have this place as a constant during that time. Best to all!

Really? I've heard snippets of all of this stuff over time and none of it has me itching to spend big bucks to get it on CD. Heck, I've even waffled at spending $5 for a used LP of it. Brass and Wood are the strongest of the series IMO, the others hold less interest for me. I like the core quintet with Berg and Harrell. YMMV.

I was happy to finally find Horace Silver's 70s sides Silver 'N Brass and Silver 'N Wood issued on CD, albeit as a semi-pricey import. The others in the series (Percussion, Voices & Strings) are also either available now or will be soon.
