Is that from The Onion? I think it real, she probably has heard from her management consultant that you nowadays outsource those non core task

yes, I actually like disc-1 very much, lot of things sound quite familar on disc1 ...and I'll not disclose the secret vibes and trombone player on track8 Cheers, Tjobbe

.....and wait until the fear is back that the Germans put the whole continent into darkness.... ok, it was for 30 mins only, but maybe there is a master plan behind

@all: there will be a 1,5h TV feature on German WDR-3 aired on 04.01.2007 around midnight (00:20 to be precise) covering the History of MPS records titled Jazz in the Black Forest Doku über das MPS-Label im Schwarzwald, so for those who get it via Sat dish...take a note of that. Hope that I have a working DVD-recorder until than again. Cheers, Tjobbe EDIT: LINK

got mine ! THX, Oliver

....and I can confirm that Amazon.fr is as well sending out Vol.6 now. I've just received the shipment notice and expect the package to arrive at my place next week. Cheers, Tjobbe

I'm actually missing that one myself.... -_- but unfortunately, there are way to many things on my "want-to-have" list

just one remark: the 1952 is a 5 CD box set only....

I'm completely with you on the rating for the quality of those sets but need to correct you about the number of box sets available... The Volume 6 covering 1955 is already announced for release end of October (so now) and mine is awaiting shipment from France so we have 5 box sets already available Cheers, tjobbe

I'm not worrying to much about sounding although I do throw away records that tend to be following the loudness race or have other faults like over compression etc.... Actual labels I prefer that deliver both good sound and good actual (jazz) music are German ACT, Enja, the French Label Bleu, Austrian Quinton Records and Danish Stunt/Sundance. Cheers, Tjobbe

not yet Reinier it is on my "wishlist", but if you like his music this OOP LP from 1987 is now available on emusic as MP3 download From the Artists home page: Cheers, Tjobbe

there are some new 2ßß6 Enja releases available for download. One from a Band around Portuguese Bass Player Carlos Bica. As I got all previous records I can give a top recommendation as well Cheers, Tjobbe

Happy birthday Guy ! All the best, Oliver

All the best Daniel and Birthday greetings from Cologne. Cheers, Oliver

wait Mike, he might start singing......but else, anything you want

I don't care who will issue a complete CBBB box set as long as someone does it soon!

not in 2006 I would guess.... but another recommendation from my end for the Jazztet one. I enjoyed it much more than I initially thought and some disks have played frequently since I got it from...yes, 2001 Cheers, Tjobbe

check this book at amanzon here: http://www.amazon.com/Popularizing-Nation-...e/dp/0803212836 which deals with the German post WW-1 Kitsch period. Not sure if that helps as well as that is what you intend to look for. Cheers, Tjobbe

Happy Birthday and all the best Chris !

got my Vol.2 last week..thanks Allen

and for those who love the music as well a nice french trio Bass/Drums/vibes and this is available at emusic for download... as regular CD, I've never seen it before. Cheers, Tjobbe

downloaded the Colliers all meanwhile and never regret it... two more interesting european labels added: Danish Stunt/Sundance got few -18 to be precise- older recordings added French CC Productions with Bertrand Renaudin as one featured artist Cheers

a me too, Marcus have a good one... Cheers, Oliver

because the word Appell is used exactly that way in german language as well. I guess its a heritage from Napoleon and french occupation back than. There are some area's in the "Rheinland" that still uses geman pronounced french wordings.

send you an email re: Vol.2 and shipment to Germany.... Cheers, Oliver
