"Excited because its on Uptown"???

What the fuck is that? Who the fuck has said that??

People are excited because, as described by Jim in the first post of this thread, this is a never-before heard performance that is, if those who have heard it are to be believed, amazing.

Can you say the same thing about the Philology releases?

you're probably the type who says that lester's late period wasn't nearly as good as his early playing.

Yeah, that would explain why one of my favorite box sets is the Lester Young Verve set. :rolleyes:

Dan, I'll bet you're the type of baseball fan who hates the Bosox...

I hate to be negative, as I love the Uptown stuff - but, Chuck, is Gitler doing the notes to the new Bird? I'm sorry, I respect his past work, but he has run out of ideas and has very little insight left - my unsolicited suggestion is that they find someone else -

I have heard all of the greats live, except Bird. He played at a concert here in Copenhagen in 1950, but I was not allowed to go because I was only 13 at that time. What a shame, he is my alltime favorite. He is genius in jazz besides Louis A.

and "The Duke". Some of the greats were on the downslide when I heard them, like Lester, Billie H. and Hawkins.
