What's next on your YourMusic.com queue?

[Guy Berger]

I like Filles as well. But I believe that all of it is available in box form from Your Music (65-68 and Silent Way, right?). Considering YM's prices, I would recommend you get those box sets rather than CDs from them.

Filles is better heard in its initial album form than split out of programming order across two boxed sets. If you get the boxes, burn a copy of the original LP.

I'm not very excited about anything in my queue this month. That's why I invited the group to choose my next selection in the Horace Silver thread. In fact, I'm more excited about the seven I ordered from the Jazz Heritage Society (see that thread) than anything in my queue.

I have decided to bump to the top Donald Fagen - The Nightfly. I got the LP of this over twenty years ago. It's been packed away for a long time. I made a cassette copy to listen to in the car, but I have had a CD player in the car for the past two years.

This is one of the few rock albums I've liked since I was in school, if you can call it rock. I'll look forward to playing the CD.

Donald Fagen, The Nightfly! Good god I have that cassette probably lying around here somewhere, but not a clue where to start. GA, you're going to make me search for that one. I remember the great cover he does of Dion's "Ruby Baby". If I find it, I'll let you know? Too funny...

[zen archer]

i have the nightfly on cd ....has this been remastered yet ?

i think it deserves an upgrade.

i think it deserves an upgrade.

A 3CD box set is coming out in the UK called the "Nightfly Trilogy" of Fagen's 3 albums. There are varying reports about the possibility that a 4th disc with bonus tracks/outtakes might accompany the set, but no confirmation of that.

And apparently, it's a straight reissue, not a remaster.

[felser]

I'm thinking of going with that Sarah Vaughan + 2 album. Has anyone heard that one? Otherwise, Lou Rawls Live or some of the remastered Journey stuff.

[GA Russell]

My pick this month is The Best of Django Reinhart on Blue Note.

I don't know much about this. I assume that Django recorded these for a French EMI label, perhaps Odeon. I also assume that all of this material was included in the Mosaic box.

Dan Morgenstern wrote the liner notes, and I believe selected the tunes as well.

This will be my first Django album.

[Guy Berger]

This month: Lonnie Smith, Think

Next month: Lee Morgan, The Gigolo

[Noj]

Roy Hargrove - Nothing Serious

I hear that!

[J Larsen]

It may be due to mailroom malfeasance, but I only actually receive about 50% to 60% of my music queue shipments.

Must be you. I get everything.

[Noj]

My shipping date is the 15th of every month. I can pretty much count on not seeing my March disc until April. At least they deliver though! That's weird, J Larsen.

Me too. Just received the same notification today. I figured it was only a matter of time

[Chuck Nessa]

Arthur Doyle - "Alabama Feeling". -_-

[Sundog]

I haven't received the message yet. Everything still $5.99.

[GA Russell]

My pick this month is Kenny Dorham - Trompeta Toccata.

It has received high praise in the Kenny Dorham thread, so I thought I would give it a go.

[Tom 1960]

I just received Roy Hargrove's "Nothing Serious" in the mail today. So for next month I'm looking at:

I've read some positive stuff about this release right here on the forum. I figured it might be a nice pickup.

Get it - quick!

I am thinking about joining back up with yourmusic again. I quit when the price went to 6.99, but I haven't bought a single disc from my regular BMG membership since. It was nice-n-easy not to have to wait for a deal--I could order a single disc and be done with it.
