Comment:

One of the original inspirations was the Us3 and Herbie Hancock sequence, but as you can see, it got pushed all the way to the end partly because we flip-flopped disks 5 and 6 when we didn't want to end on such a suicidal note. Now it goes out with more fun songs, though Stella By Starlight would have been a nice way to end it.

Until I read through these 6 discs I didn't realize just how much Jazz I already know and enjoy. I'm a little prouder of myself now, for some reason. You've both given me hope. Hope that, maybe, one day, I too could be one of those cool cats that hang out in basement level jazz clubs. You know the ones, they're always snapping their fingers along with the beat and bopping their heads along agreeably all while chain smoking, ignoring anything that takes their attention off the music and drinking cognac .... okay, I might be making that last part up, but it's my fantasy and that's what listening to this put in my head.

Wonderfully done (I thought your dad was giving up mixing for Lent) ;-)
Check out Rickie Lee Jones' treatments of Jazz Standards on albums like "It's Like This" and "Pop, Pop", I think they'ld be right up your alley.

these three discs are truly bursting at the seams with top-of-the-line tunes from all different corners of the jazz tradition - loving too many to name, lots of great stuff here

Jazz was always my dad's bag. Maybe it's time I dipped my hand into the bag.

Nice ending to the series, though I agree Stella would have been nice. There's so much music I don't worry at all about the missing files.

I like your idea of jazz and so does Dirty Harry there!
