So if you promise to buy the whole year, you get to buy 4 exclusive additional titles? I would think that if they really wanted to entice people to do this, they should have listed all 4 of those titles.

I used to listen to this quite often and wondered why this band never toured. With Osby's rep these days, I doubt Lovano would ever consider doing that today.

From what I'm reading over on the Hoffman forums, they did use the stereo master tape for this LP.

Weird that they title this compilation "Farmer's Market" and yet only include 2 of the 6 tracks from that LP.

I thought season 3 was pretty good. Better than the previous 2 seasons... not really. I don't like the fact that they end season 3 with a lead-in to the next season though. There was really no need to do that. The lead-in is actually from another book and belonged in the next season. At least we now know what book season 4 follows.

I have the TOCJ CD. The only way I would've bought a US CD is if they managed to find extra tracks. Well... maybe if they used the stereo master instead of the mono used for the TOCJ CD.

I was pretty sure too. After all, there is no "Licensed from Blue Note Records" on them nor does it say "Scorpio Records" anywhere. If these were legit, they would say both of those things.

I was never able to determine if those Scorpio pressings were legitimate. Michael Cuscuna wasn't involved with them and in my limited chats with him about their pedigree, he wasn't sure who was involved with those LPs. A few people have determined that they are all cut from digital sources and that wasn't something Blue Note normally did back then for LP cuts. More than anything, I'm just wondering why this never made it onto any US CD release.

Is the new Tone Poet release of Cliff Jordan the first time this session has been reissued in any form in the US since 1972? https://store.bluenote.com/products/clifford-jordan-cliff-jordan-lp-blue-note-tone-poet-series

Jerry Bergonzi - Jerry Bergonzi Quartet featuring Bruce Gertz (New Age Records). This is a pretty good record, with Gonz stretching out a bit here & there. Strangely, the names of the keyboard player and the drummer are purposefully avoided in the liner notes, making me wonder if they were under contract to a label and couldn't be identified. Although, I have seen Gonz play piano for a tune or two at his live shows. Hmmm.... This doesn't sound overdubbed though.

The people... really just corporations, denying climate change are only concerned with their pockets & not the future of this planet. It costs money to slow climate change and no company wants to spend their profits for something as meaningless (to them) as the future. The worst thing about it is that it's happening faster than the scientists predicted and at this point, may even be too far along to stop.

Garr was in several movies that I've really enjoyed, even if she only had a bit role, like 1989's "Let It Ride". That movie is a classic. I just love it. The characters are all so real. "Mr. Mom" was another I enjoyed a lot. Obviously, "Young Frankenstein" is up there too. For a while, her presence on the bill almost guaranteed a good time in the theater.

Einstein Brothers used to boil their bagels before baking them and back then, they were pretty good. Once they stopped, the became round pieces of bread that pretended to be bagels. We buy all of our bagels from Bagel World now. They're a 3 store chain in the Boston area. They're worth the drive from Maine.

Still cracks me up....

Strangely, the New York Times never did their usual obituary for Jim. Does anyone know why? Was it because Jim had relocated to Austria for many years prior to his death?
