Message sent on Miles Bootleg Vol 2 Thanks

Another loss - these have been a rough couple weeks. Also enjoyed his music - especially the Ornette tribute w/ Hamid Drake on Soul Note and the Tzadik disc, Meditations for Piano. Thanks for the music Borah.

Needless to say, it fell off the back of a truck. No, it seems there was something more going on here. The fact that they dropped prices massively on most of their stock for two brief windows, filled many of the early orders and then subsequently cancelled huge numbers of orders seems to indicate a computer glitch or some sort of issue. Until all this happened they were a good storefront and had a great reputation (over 99 percent positive w/ a huge number of transactions). It seems more like a fortunate buyer fluke ... despite all the new to cd material, especially since I had well over half the titles, I was not otherwise going to pick this one up.

Finally received the Brubeck box today- 19 discs, sealed, original factory CDs for $8 ... "They are real, and they are spectacular!"

Yes, a lot were at $1, but 30+ were more - up to $22.00. It just appears they did a mass-cancellation.

I had jumped into the fire in a big way. After the Brubeck supposedly shipped, they subsequently cancelled six other orders, containing nearly 80 titles, ranging in price from $1 to $22. Not one item was confirmed. Will be interesting to see what arrives in that Amazon box where the Brubeck is to be. BTW - they did list it as "new and manufacturer sealed." Then again, they also showed all the cancelled titles as "in-stock."

Also received a "shipped" notice on the $8 "Complete Columbia Studio Albums 55-66 Brubeck Quartet" 19-cd set. No tracking yet, but this is certainly intriguing.

Just got word - time to pay the piper(s) ... Payment made. Too bad I cannot make the gathering for pick-up!

PM Sent ... thanks!

PM sent earlier today, Jason. Thanks

That now only means that none of us can retire until we are at least 80!

PM Sent - thank you!

All seemingly good on this end - nice packing job!

It would have been impossible to get that order any quicker ... thanks so much, Chuck!

Taken me too long, but just sent you an e-mail. Thanks and best, Scott

He certainly seems to be a polarizing force ... as it often seems with anyone with a strong opinion or creative point of view. (Monk, Trane, Ayler, Cecil) As can be seen here, a great many don't seem to enjoy his work, while others believe it is the work of genius. As you will note below, I tend toward the later. My wife and I have enjoyed his work immensely and been most fortunate to have been living in NYC in the past six+ years and seen: the Lincoln Center staging of Passion and the Broadway revival productions of Assassins, Pacific Overtures, Sweeney Todd, Company, Sunday in the Park with George, A Little Night Music, along with Gypsy and West Side Story. Musically, the only things I have enjoyed anywhere nearly as much in that time were Spring Awakening and Light in the Piazza. There certainly was a greater simplicity to many earlier lyricists' work. Much was even nonsensical. I am looking forward toward reading the book. Having heard him speak on such topics, I wonder if that was the point of reference. He seems to take great pride on his construction of real intelligent dialog - words within his music.

WKCR is having a 24-hour tribute to Marion until about 8:30 tomorrow AM. Man, he will be missed - thanks for all the beautiful music.Marion Brown Memorial Broadcast site

Sorry to hear that Lou. Very discouraging.

They charged my cc today, so I assume shipping is imminent?

Selling a duplicate set that I had mistakenly picked up ... very enjoyable set of music. Box shows some very light wear. Booklet and Cds are near mint. $125, inc shipping in Cont US. Thanks, Scott in Hoboken, NJ 07030
