J-Lo to Ben-Fleck: "When I fall in love, it will be forever."

Take my wife, Please. . . .

I'm not going to pay a lot for this muffler.

Hey welcome back Chuck! Yeah, Jim is salt of the earth, and for putting up with him, Brenda MUST BE the finest grade of pepper! Glad you got to spend some time with them, and I know that Jim is as well.

You know, thanks for bringing this thread up. I remember some great music by this band, and haven't heard it in years. They were alright, damn straight.

I sent them a message as well. I think they are shortchanging jazz fans if they recommend those other two boards and not this one. They are inviting others to visit secondbest sites, when this one is right here, clearly a better home for jazz fans. (Oh, of course that's just my personal opinion, but I mean it strongly!)

"It's alright John. You just solo as long as you want to. Just nudge me awake when you're done."

"What, me worry?"

"It ain't over til it's over."

"As a good Christian, I believe in making love, not war."

"I just want to be left alone."

Actually Joe, saw the preview on Saturday, THIS is NEXT: This has become this

Suckus Maximus. Leave well enough alone. We boomers should have SOMETHING that's sacred.

Wow, I can see the ebay description now: "with hinged box, unlike the boxes currently sold by Mosaic."

Great find!

Hamilton or Tristano would be my vote. I think the Hamilto will disappear first of these. And not too long from now. I've had mine for years and am so glad I have!

Congrats Matthew! I always wondered what this set sounds like. Thanks for the info.

I think this was an enjoyable read, but I WAS disappointed that in my opinion there really wasn't much meat to the actual early history of the label and its first decade and a half of recording. This history is I think the least chronicled elsewhere, and this was a missed opportunity to make up for a deficit. I'm very interested in learning more about this, and I would have loved for there to be more material within this book.

The Cathcarts are wonderful, and as far as I know also don't overlap with the Matlocks. (I have some of those and dig 'em!)

In the Elmo Hope thread the inititator reports that he has the other JRVG; it would reissue just the Trio material, and I've never seen that, don't know if it's recent or a former release. I believe it may have been a part of the 10" series.

I do know that there was a JRVG of the Elmo Hope Quintet that had just the original tracks, not all the tracks of the US cd.

I stand with Dr. J on this one too. Keep those RVGs a-comin'!

Yes, I saw this in the latest issue of Mr. Buck's "Jazzbeat" and it sure looked good! All these Progressive reissues of Famous Door recordings I've heard are wonderful.

I'd forgotten about that one Mont! Good call. There is also a two cd set on Jazz Classics that reissues the other two cds of Teagarden transcriptions on the Jass/Stash label.

To paraphrase a Curtis Fuller and Benny Golson selection "Be Back Directly." B)
