Frank Kimbrough - Monk's Dreams: The Complete Compositions of Thelonious Sphere Monk - Disc 4 - Locomotive (Sunnyside).

I've never heard of this record before. Quite the band - Corea with Grossman, Dave Holland & Jack DeJohnette. It looks like it has never been put out on CD & some editions are going for big bucks: https://www.discogs.com/master/734497-Chick-Corea-The-Sun

Lots of variety on this date. Is there a reason the track "Ill Will" is listed as "ILL WILL"? Interesting effects with your guitar on that track. You get an organ-like sound.

I just approved everyone but one new member from January.

Like most reissue labels, they are at the mercy of the labels. If they are sent a good tape or digital file to cut from, they're fine; if not, they sound terrible.

I'd order a CD but with shipping to the US, it's about $30.

Frank Kimbrough - Meantime (Newvelle) This material was originally only released on clear vinyl but Newvelle finally gave in and offers downloads now - at least for some of their releases.

I just approved all of the new members who signed up in February - 14 total.

It's bandcamp and digital downloads don't sell out.

David Binney - In The Arms Of Light (Diese Onze) Ambient stuff that I like to veg out to on occasion.

Bobby Hutcherson - Four Seasons (Timeless).

The backs are all there on discogs except for the Guaraldi disc, which doesn't have great scans. I use a PowerPoint template to print these out and an Exacto blade to cut them to shape after perforating the paper along the two fold lines. https://imgur.com/gn0BAwphttps://imgur.com/gn0BAwp

We have a forum titled "Offering and Looking For". List your eBay item there.

So I approved all the new members who added themselves in March & April, with the exception of one user whose E-mail was flagged by the system as a potential spammer. I also turned off post approval on the ones I recently enabled with that feature. Let the games begin.

If you are up for it, I can go through the past few months and just blindly approve all of them without any post approval required. Just be aware that some of them appear to be obvious spammers.

Jim A made me a "Super Moderator" so that I could approve new members but that's all I can do - approve or reject each new account. I do not have access to the controls to turn on or off automatic approving of new members nor can I delete all of the members awaiting approval. I can only do them one at a time, which I am not willing to do at this time.

No. JSngry & I can both approve their posts. But if I don't turn this option on, they would be free to spam us if we're away from the board. My intention was to turn off post approval if the person is legit. I know of no other way to approve these people without risking this place becoming Spamville. That being said, I am open to suggestions. I doubt "approve them all" will work as there are almost 11,000 accounts awaiting approval dating back to 2016, which is when Jim A turned off auto-approve.

I've started approving some recent members but I've restricted their ability to post without mod approval. This way, we can make sure the person is not just a spammer. Although I do suppose they could still play nice for their first few posts and then spam the heck out of us.

Ya think? I've seen her live once on a whim and she can play. I don't get the attire at all.

Yesterday, at the urging of my friend @Tom 1960, I sampled a newer (10/2024) release from drummer Jacob Wendt titled "Silver Street". The band plays in a style that harkens back to The Jazz Messengers and Wendt has said that this was what they were going for so kudos to the band for hitting their target. It's not a copycat tribute but an updated take, so no fear of that. You can sample/download it at bandcamp: Silver Street, by Jacob Wendt . I wanted the Kevin Gray-cut LP version (which is not on bandcamp for some reason) so I ordered that LP from The 'In' Groove. While I was at The 'In' Groove website, I decide to pick up Gray's Chohearant label's latest release from Corey Weeds while I was at it.

Sorry to hear about Fiona. She sounds like a great dog.

The regular LP doesn't fetch big bucks, but there is only one in Fair condition available on discogs, so maybe that one isn't the best to judge value? The CD version looks to be a PD release from the Lake Records label, which I've never heard of. The CD has bonus tracks.

Last night, I picked up a few CDs at my local Bull Moose Music store. Charlie Haden & Quartet West - In Angel City (Verve). I've had Quartet West's 1st CD for decades & saw the band several times but never got around to picking up their 2nd release until now. I also picked up a used copy of Peter Gabriel's latest, "i/o". I got the 3 disc set with a surround mix on BlueRay. I like Gabriel's work so I'm wondering how he'll treat the surround tracks.

They don't usually remove you from Facebook unless you repeatedly violate their rules. They usually just suspend you for a while. I've had a few friends get suspended for weeks or months but never had one booted off entirely.
