Very interesting.  Yes I know about the Hannibal books, but never bought any, since I did have the original versions.    About jazztalk in German language, when went to school and was the youngest of a gang of jazz lovers and musicians, the unsual kind of German being talked here in Vienna was Viennese slang. I think there was two kinds of Viennese slang, one more the workman´s type, and one more the "hipsters" kind of slang.  If someone played a good solo, you might say:  Des woa UR-LEIWAND des solo was´d do gspüüt host.  Try to translate the word "Leiwand" . If something was good it was "leiwand", and if it was weak, it was "oasch" .  And one of the first things an older, longhaired jazzfreak said to me when I was still almost a kid was "Heast Burle, hoost ´leicht aa scho die Fil-les de Killi-Mann-Tscharo ? " You have to pronounce the litera "L" in the Viennese way..... das Wiener "L"..... Really sounds funny, it sounds more like commenting sport.  I remember if there is a smaller town and the one who writes for the local press about a concert a jazz group does there "wie viele Solos haben Sie gemacht, können Sie uns eine Zahl nennen", or they translate be bop as "Zweierbop" .... I did read that in Jazz Podium....

I must say the Dave Liebman later records are quite hard to find.  I have one which is only a trio, Dave with Hamid Drake and Frank Gambale and it is one of the greatests, it´s like a smaller instrumentation of music similar to "Drum Ode", which is one of my favourite 1970 albums of all kinds of jazz.  I don´t remember having heard Liebman play often standards, I heard him play once "Milestones" and once "Well You Needn´t but what I like most from him is his typical post Coltrane sound without copying Trane.  And the stuff he did with Miles. I have heard there is an album which is a newer one and has "Ife" on it, but it is only digital, and I´d need CD,
