AllenLowe Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 9 CD set, history of jazz 1895-1927 with the text from my book that covers those years - get 'em while I still have copies, before they become $500 on ebay - paypal preferred - email me at alowe@maine.rr.com - which is also my paypal address - "the secret is out - buy this set" -Karl Rove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 just to bug Dan Gould, I am going to bump this up - buy one or I'll hold my breath until my face turns blue - and than you'll be sorry - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 I usually don't agree with suspect Rove, but I highly recommend this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold_Z Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 I usually don't agree with suspect Rove, but I highly recommend this set. Same here. It's a superb set with some stuff you just aren't likely to find anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 I stood on the edge when Allenlowe made interesting offers on that one. But when I saw the box in one of the record shops here I bought it on impulse! The selection is absolutely first-class and brought new insights on the early stages of the music we love.

Christiern Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 I usually don't disagree with my friend, Harold, but "likely" does not apply here--you simply won't find many of these performances anywhere else. And Brownie is right, this is an ear-opener for anyone who thought it all started with a fabled cylinder and the ODJB sides. And let us not forget the accompanying text from Allen's book--this is a perfect meld of words and warbles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 I agree that this is a great set with "some stuff" you won't find anywhere else (though I did have a sizabale amount of material on Timeless, Frog, etc. discs, great stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted May 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 well, it's true, I was not the first to gather this material and I will say I stood on ths shoulders of some giants like John RT Davies - not to mention people like Chris Albertson or Chuck Nessa who have shown us repeatedly how to not only understand jazz history but also how to present it - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 (edited) just to bug Dan Gould, I am going to bump this up - buy one or I'll hold my breath until my face turns blue - and than you'll be sorry - NO Allen this is a fine use of "bump" - when you're selling something and still have copies to sell and its been 15 days AND NOT TWO HOURS, bumping is perfectly reasonable. For your edification, I posted elsewhere when bumps DON'T scream "LOOK AT ME": When you bump up old, interesting threads that people may have missed or not been here for (Like, say, the thread with your totally ridiculous ripping of Dexter Gordon - go bump that if you feel like bumping.) When someone is selling something and has more to offer or more left in stock after the initial response.

Christiern Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Whew! I'm glad that has been clarified. Fortunately, the strong arm of the vigilante only reaches so far--we can still bump away in the no-no zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fer Urbina Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 (edited) I finally got around to listen to this set properly and I am enjoying it. I do like "old" music, but there are a few things that have to be heard to be believed, like the drummer* on Gus Haenschen's "Sunset Medley" (CD2, track 15), and that was recorded in 1916! Great set F * Edit: J. T. Schiffer is the drummer. Edited May 21, 2006 by Fer Urbina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenLowe Posted May 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 (edited) thank you - but I will not be happy until Son-of Weizen buys one - Edited May 28, 2006 by AllenLowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Offer him the limited edition lp facimile version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Offer it to him draped in an American flag--or just give him the free flag pin offer and tell him you'll throw in a NeoCondi Rice button. Tell him that not purchasing this set of very American music is tantamount to turning one's back on our country--it could even, albeit somewhat circuitously, be construed as embracing terrorism. Living in D.C. and being so closely connected to the regime, I would be afraid not to own this set of Aural Americana--very afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 How long will the offer last? I can't buy anything right now but probably will be back on buying duties during the summer .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 (edited) Chris, I could be wrong......times may have changed.....but isn't it still considered to be sort of out-of-line to carry on so outside of the political forum?? I'll respond to you somewhere else. Edited May 28, 2006 by Son-of-a-Weizen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Sorry, Weizen, I plumb forgot where we were. I guess I'm getting old, but sometimes I just don't sense the presence of the thread police. Pardon me while I slip away and reminisce about the old days of free speech. Remember them days?
