    The Penguin Guide (sixth edition) insists that the Fresh Sound contains material that was recorded at the "Both / And" in June 1970, a month before the Lighthouse date. I wonder who's right...

    Zweitausendeins are offering several jazz twofers at low prices, such as the Deluxe Editions of Coltrane's Ballads and A Love Supreme at only €12.99 (approximately $14) each, and many others: http://www.zweitausendeins.de , click on "Angebote", scroll down and click on "Jazz-Doppel-CDs".

    ...how about 4) I gave my copy to Big Al Rearick

    Scott, Don't get me wrong, I love The All Seeing Eye; it's right up my alley, from A to Z. My question was a general one, just in case... I'm interested in most jazz styles (though much swing-style jazz is "not really my cup of tea", it quickly bores me), but I'm a big fan of bop, hard bop, 1960s "advanced hard bop" and modal jazz. Haven't listened much to free jazz / avant garde since my initial interest in it fell into a deep sleep way back in the early 1970s, but I started listening to it again a couple of years ago and now I'm figuring out which albums to add to my humble free / avant garde collection.

    Bertrand, See the first page of this thread re Soul Fountain. I've never heard it, so I can't comment on it; to be honest it doesn't "look" very promising to me - but then again, I'm not a fan of "organ dates" or "dates with organ", to put it mildly.

    Sure, that did cross my mind too, of course, but what if you're absolutely negative about an album? I know, it sounds very negative, but there are albums that I absolutely detest and got nothing positive to say about, such as Donald Byrd's I'm Trying to Get Home and A New Perspective, and it's not my intention to hurt anyone.

    Question to all: what to do if you don't like or even hate "the album of the week", 1. keep one's mouth shut and refrain from posting; or 2. simply post "yuck"; or 3. politely but firmly say "this is not quite my cup of tea" (posh accent not required ).

    At least those I've bought two times!

    I take it you're keeping your Duke Pearson albums...

    I've got that one. Haven't listened to it in a long time. In fact, I even forgot that I had it. Thanks for reminding me! It's a really nice date with Clifford, Hank Jones, Reggie Workman and Freddie Waits. Side 1 is a single tune, "Vienna" and Side 2 is "Bohemia After Dark" and "Love For Sale". There's even a double-sided insert with notes and photos about the recording technology that went into this direct-to-disk session. The only info that's nowhere to be found is the recording date ... weird. According to the AMG it was recorded in the summer of 1978: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&u...l=Azad6vwvta9lk

    €1 = $1.09 at the moment.

    Welcome, Menace! By the way, your first picture got lost somewhere, at least on my PC.

    Ah... Just as I was about to post something about a ship missing somewhere off Newfoundland after meeting with an iceberg...

    Try some of Van Dyke Parks' later albums, they're a tad less weird.
  16. J.A.W.
    I was when it first came out in 1967. Sold it and never looked back (maybe I should)
  17. J.A.W.
    From Denmark, that is...

    Having a puff?
  19. J.A.W.
    Let's hope it'll self-destruct before it reaches that point...

    Did you happen to see BNBB characters marvin and PD somewhere during your trek?
  21. J.A.W.
    Lots of unissued Kenny G material, of course.
  22. J.A.W.
    Rumor has it that it'll be a 2CD-set, with lots of unissued material, including a live set (at Antibes, France, I think it was)
  23. J.A.W.
    Willkommen Herr Doktor! Gut Sie wieder zu sehen!
  24. J.A.W.
    I'm not so sure about that - did you see the competition? Miles & Norah, Kind of Norah... http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...st=0entry6190, first post

    Judging by Africa's current signature April 1 will be a new national holiday in the U.S.
