I've read a number of his reviews in Downbeat and liner notes over the years and never knew he was a musician. Thanks for posting this.

I have no Idea why anyone would use green magic markers. I just do not like that color. :-)

I'd request a replacement and I think Mosaic would want to know about the problem.

I'm happy for my Mom, a longtime Indians and baseball fan. This afternoon, Indians vs Cincinnati, is the season's first television broadcast. I see it as a sign that this loooonggg winter may come to an end.

My comment was meant to sound naive about applying "you get what you pay for" to everyday decisions. It's a phrase that has been repeated as wisdom for a long time. Unfortunately it really doesn't work. In a perfect world........

Like so many product categories, it's so complicated and time consuming to choose audio components let alone match 'em up effectively. Won't the "you get what you pay for" rule work to simplify things a bit? Just a rhetorical question. :-)

I apologize if this has been discussed before but how did Jim A assist with the transfers and mixing? Also will the Hal Russell be coming out soon? (Though I don't know how you can get these projects done on time with the winter we've had this year.)

I guess it's not rude to offer your dislike for someone's black amp, but, when told they like it just fine, you repeat your preference for something else for a second time and, finally, a third. I just don't get it. Maybe it's a message board thing where communication is different than the way it would be in person.

Really?! Maybe we can post pics of our furniture now so we can volunteer our opinion that we prefer something different.

The Netherlands speed skating coach said the US speedskating program is no good because all our athletic talent is wasted playing American football which "sucks".

Just yesterday in fact. My wife ordered some things for her parents and for herself. I ordered the Disque Vogue box mentioned by kh. All came yesterday via USPS. The poor mailman had to lug up five packages to our door, 3 that had to be signed for.

The excuse used by the US speed skating team that their "super secret" suits are the reason for no medals is embarrassing. Their World Cup suits were proven to produce no better performance. Now the reason given is the team practiced on "hard ice" immediately before the Olympics and were not prepared for Sochi's "soft ice".

That mantle and fireplace sure screw up the look of the room.

Excellent interview. I was fortunate to see him perform a number of times in South Florida. No regular gig at that time since South Florida jazz clubs would regularly open and close. I recall his playing various ballads associated with Trane and, as mentioned in the interview, Amazing Grace on soprano sax as being particularly stunning.

Another vote for the Warne Marsh Half Note recordings!!

There have been debates here about LP vs Cd with IIR most preferring the sound of original Blue Note LPs. But the thread Lon linked shows that the opinion of RVG and others felt the original LPs were not at all close to what RVG hoped for.

Jim's YouTube video is an example why Cleveland sports teams will never again promote with 10 cent beer nights.

I've ordered direct from them maybe five times now but never through amazon. They are ok. The very first delivery took two weeks to arrive. Subsequent orders arrived more quickly. My problem is that they use a flimsy envelope to ship one cd or, in another case, a single cd that was backordered. At least two items (that I recall) had a broken or cracked jewel case. When multiple items were shipped together they were packaged better.

No mention about who remastered this or how good the transfers are. Can anyone report back? :-)

Ordered this morning. Price down to $25.05. Thanks for the post. Looking forward to this since I do not have any of this music currently.

Headline in the Cleveland Plain Dealer today after last nights loss to the Knicks: "CAVS rotten to the core in the Big Apple". And this from the same article: "This team [the Cavs] is unwatchable. Better basketball is being played in high school gyms all over Northeast Ohio." Brutal summary but very true. Any great player we may have will leave when they can and no great player will want to play for this organization.

Maybe so, but that doesn't change the general opinion and the judgement on looks unfortunately. Which is why plastic surgery and related treatment is such a lucrative business.

I am continuously amazed by the expertise among the members here.

"Big results with a little stool!". Ha! Whoever came up with that slogan isn't getting paid enough. :-)

Just double check the discs to make sure "Side Steps" doesn't have concentric scratches. I got my set a long time ago and while the disc with said scratches remarkably plays flawlessly, I think that might of occured when the set was banging around in the truck on the way to the store. Anyway, I am in the get it all camp with Trane also. The packaging of the discs in the three boxes is annoying the way one disc is partially "stacked" over the other. You have to remove two discs to hear the bottom disc. And trying to push the top disc back onto the rubber spindle so it stays in place is difficult. I'd listen to these sets much more than I do if it wasn't for the packaging.
