Comment:

I was looking through my Simenon books, as I often do when I can't decide what to read, and realized that there was no book titled "Maigret's Regret." There's "Maigret's Revolver," "Maigret's Memoirs," "Maigret Afraid." There's "Maigret's Mistake," but no regret. So, I made a mix which has nothing to do with Simenon, Maigret or, indeed, any detective. French or otherwise.For those interested, I settled on "Maigret's War of Nerves."

Wow - I feel like Wild Man Fisher at a cocktail party at the Kissenger's - I don't know what the hell Simenon OR Maigret is. But I'm glad to see you settled on something to read. I also know I like any mix that has Cecil Taylor AND Ornette Coleman.

Georges Simenon was a French writer whose most famous creation was the detective Jules Maigret. Haven't read any of his books, although I've got a Maigret-less novella lying around somewhere. As for the mix, well, I'm still a bit new to this jazz lark but I like what I see.

great collection of jazz artists. This would be a smashing intro for someone hearing jazz for the first time. Every one a winner, Curtis.

This is superb, Curtis. I'm glad to know you are a reader. Simenon the person was much more interesting than any of his works.

I would challenge anybody to make a more perfect 'maigret's regret' mix. Everything on it works (N.B. 'everything' has been rounded up from the actual 7 tracks that I know). Me like!

Beautiful, again - I bet it just f-l-o-w-s. I like your Mingus pick after Jelly Roll Morton. Lovely Miles Davis too!

A lovely, moody tribute to a fine novelist and a great detective character. Simenon's non-Maigret books are good, too!
