a friend of mine hinted at the existence of a blog named “JazzWax”, run by Marc Myers.
Most of you will know this blog, for me it was a nice discovery.
I dug the recent interview done with SONNY ROLLINS and esp. the background of one of my all time favourite albums “WAY OUT WEST”. This is compulsory reading for Rollins students.
Another feature is the re-appearance of Ronnell Bright. How the life of this man has changed since he was given the status in his community of an acknowledged artist.

That’a tough story on those Blue Notes. I hope it was a reputable dealer. I’ve been using media mail for years and have never had a non-delivery problem.

I would just like to thank everyone who made this possible… Really thanks for the record though. It makes me feel better about this hobby in general. When I commented before on the site, I was worried if the two blue notes I won were original pressings. Well it turns out they were, but it doesn’t matter, I never got them in the mail! So not only am I too young to recognize a first press, I was naive enough to have the first blue notes I ever bought sent through media mail. Ouch. Maybe now my luck has reversed. Thanks, this helps soften that blow.
