ghost of miles Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 I've gotta pick up your avatar one of these days, DrJ, now that it's been re-issued at last. Quote
DrJ Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 ghost of miles Posted: Oct 6 2003, 10:52 PM I've gotta pick up your avatar one of these days, DrJ, now that it's been re-issued at last. I haven't taken the plunge yet. I have the slightly older Rykodisc reissue of TRUST and have to say that, on balance, the Ryko's are superior to the new Rhinos in terms of sound quality based on an A/B comparisons of the two versions of IMPERIAL BEDROOM. Still, it IS nice to have the whole extra bonus CD of stuff that is included in the Rhinos. My approach, since doing the A/B comparison, has been to go for the new Rhinos in cases where all I have is old, worn out vinyl (e.g. GET HAPPY!) but not for those where I have the Ryko CDs. Quote
catesta Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 Just got Duke Pearson's "Wahoo," so I had it on today. I have to say I'm loving it. Quote

BruceH Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 Ouch! Hey, this city ain't that big. Just over 700,000. How many people in Kansas City? That like jazz? About 12. Kansas City used to be such a hotbed of jazz and jazz clubs---they named a style of swing after it, fer kripesake! All gone? If so, too bad. The once-vibrant SF jazz scene is not completely gone...if you count the one good jazz club in Oakland. Current listening: Sonic Boom, Passing Ships, Bossa Nova Bacchanal Quote

Gary Posted October 11, 2003 Report Posted October 11, 2003 Air - Time Did you really get it that fast? Yep - it arrived Friday morning. Before contacting you i found one site here that i could order it from at about a third more in price & the delivery estimate was two weeks (10 days longer than you ) . I think I'll have a major dilema where to get my Nessa CDs in the future!!! An exceptional CD by the way , when i logged on to the net after my first listen the first two words i typed into the search engine were Fred Hopkins. Quote
