It does seem like a jazz kind o' day. Go, box!

I'm loving what little bits of the jazz I can eke out of the stream... it keeps losing connection!

There we go.

Sorry you're having trouble, CF. So far:

Ahmed Abdul-Malik - African Bossa Nova
Antonio Carlos Jobim - So Danco Samba
Vince Guaraldi Trio - Samba de Orpheus
Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd - Sambe de Uma Nota So
Air - The Ragtime Dance

::bangs head against laptop::

I really like jazz.
The playlist is making me drool. Where/how can I acquire such a selection?

"A" list stuff, box. Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd,Bud Powell, Art Pepper,... I think you're tryin' to spoil us blind.

It's working.

Well, I visit a lot of used record stores. Libraries, and interlibrary loan programs, are a great way to get jazz cds (even and especially OOP ones). I've got a few pals who are also jazz fans. (And, y'know, p2p and blogs and whatnot.)

Thanks, paul.

Louis Armstrong - Twelfth Street Rag
Cassandra Wilson - Shall We Dance
Bud Powell - I've Got You Under My Skin
Art Pepper - Waltz Me Blues
Charles Mingus - Ysabel's Table Dance

I'm jazzed!

nice!

I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Mingus Big Band - Sweet Sucker Dance
Mongo Santamaria - Sweet Tater Pie
Jimmy Smith - Mack the Knife
Oliver Nelson - Hoe-Down
Buddy Rich & Max Roach - Limehouse Blues
Cannonball Adderley & John Coltrane - Limehouse Blues

I'm glad you're here - I was sad when paulsc stopped - I wasn't ready to stop.

"In A Sentimental Mood" was the first song I danced to with the mother of my kids. And this cut, with Coltrane in front of Duke Ellington is one of the bits of iconic jazz you could have dug up. Damn, box, just go ahead and push all my buttons.

Dream A Little Dream Of Me is one of my favourite songs of all time in all its renditions. *sigh*

I'm just sitting here, listening to box put up Coltrane, and Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Mingus and all these other artists in a little narrowcast pool of grateful people, and I am thinking we owe a lot to the musical artists and the folks who've helped them store this music, but we also owe some thanks to people like Jon Postel and Vinton Cerf, to say nothing of mudpuppie, seanyboy, taz, dodgygeezer and the other MeCha folks who make this possible. Jon Postel is past caring, and Cerf probably doesn't need my well wishes.

But to the Mecha folks who make this work, and let people who care about music share it with others, thanks for the commercial free, idiosyncratically selected, great music in the night, and the daylight. You're runnin' a beacon of hope in the wilderness, here, I tell ya.

Wow--I duck outside to, uh, get some fresh air, and as soon as I leave, paulsc starts being eloquent.

Duke Ellington & John Coltrane - In a Sentimental Mood
Ella Fitzgerald & Count Basie - Dream a Little Dream of Me
Archie Shepp - Naima
Herbie Hancock - Cantaloupe Island
Charles Earland - Black Talk
Reuben Wilson - Hold On I'm Comin'
Brute Force - Do It Right Now
Demon Fuzz - Message to Mankind
Herbie Hancock - Watermelon Man
Thelonious Monk - Darkness on the Delta
Cassandra Wilson - Darkness on the Delta
The Platters - Goodnight Sweetheart Goodnight

Thanks for listening.

Ah, good night, box. And thanks for the sweet tunes!
