mack, oh mack, no. Lush Life? Get Closer? Private Eyes? One To One?
No, mack. These are not bargains. I don't care if you find them under a freckin' bus *SEAT* these are not bargains! (I've borrowed Running Water's habit of bringing the Agave to the keyboard so I guess it shows.) You want bargains? Go to www.columbiahouse.com , sign your sorry ass up and buy some MUSIC! If you don't have a membership already, suspend thinking and grab some freebies! Okay, nearly freebies. If you're already a member, raid that mindless corporate Sony/Columbia House monster/idiot for these incredible bargains immediately! 1. Two grownups known as Ella (frickin') Fitgerald and Louis (frickin') Armstrong doin' funny, beautiful, acomplished yet casual duets on something called something like "The Best of Ella and Louis". 2. "Birth Of The Cool" by Miles (fricken') Davis. 3. "Ultimate Charlie Parker". No comment needed. (By the way, I'm already a paid-up member and bought #2 and #3 for a total, including shipping, of.... wait for it.... $10.56.) If you have to buy a full-priced CD, buy the brand new James Taylor (if you like jt) called "October Road". My memory's a little fuzzy right now, but I think I recall that they're offering crucial jazz titles like "Take Five" (Dave Brubeck Quartet) and "Kind Of Blue" (Miles Davis) in remastered versions at give-away prices. The selection is amazing and you might as well make those (few) extra years of experience work FOR you instead of against you by selecting the primo stuff, mack. With apologies to Michael Timmins, life is too short to settle for "B sides". Lama
