    Sorry to disappoint you, but no, I don't like acoustic guitar at all, at least not in jazz. Classical: OK, blues: great, but not in jazz.

    Ah, good to hear Gokhan, I'm feeling a bit less lonely here now...

    OK, I like Jerry Hahn's sound a little better, though I don't like his Arhoolie CD, which is the only one I've heard. You'd better stop wasting your energy, Д.Д. (I appreciate the effort, though) I'm not really a jazz guitar fan, except for the few names I mentioned above.

    How about Derek Bailey? Awful... Shit. Elliott Sharp? Nope.

    The only guitarists I like in jazz (though in small doses) are guys like Tal Farlow, Jimmy Raney, Sal Salvador, René Thomas, and Kenny Burrell.

    Д.Д. I simply don't like the "guitar sound" in many free / improv discs, however different it may be (remember my rant about Stangl on Koglmann's l'Heure Bleue?) By the way, I didn't imply that Adams' playing wasn't good or anything like that, it's just that I don't like that sound... I fully and wholeheartedly agree with you on the Metheny sound.

    Re Ghostly Thoughts, I think it was John Adams' guitar that put me off this CD.
  9. I've had some serious problems with www.jpc.de. Every time I ordered CDs from them, they immediately charged my credit card, before they even knew whether or not they'd be able to supply the discs. The amounts they charged were always higher than the actual amount of the order. I found out what they had done when I was confronted with an overdraft on my card I knew nothing about. When I asked jpc about this they replied they'd refund the overcharge once the order was completed (which could take some time). I never ordered anything from them again.
  10. Same here...

    No, it doesn't, but I didn't say so; not being the only one who liked it was your argument, not mine. As for your "Question of the Day", you forgot a third possibility: people might feel indifferent about it

    I'm sorry, but that doesn't convince me, and neither does it prove that it's a good album.

    I respectfully disagree re Paul Dunmall's Ghostly Thoughts. I hated it and sold it a while ago. Don't ask me why I hated it, I banned it from my memory; it's been a long time since I've heard it and don't want to listen to it ever again.
  14. French sales tax is deducted for destinations outside the EU, hence the lower total.
  15. My condolences to you and your family.
  16. Check out the link Claude posted above.
  17. I've only been able to listen to the CD-layer and that's great. It even made me sell my Japanese 20-bit Digital K2 remastered mini-LP CD reissue.
  18. The site hasn't been updated for quite a while - the Dave Liebman and Dizzy Reece Selects are still listed under "Upcoming Releases"...
  19. According to AMG Fresh Sound released an unauthorized LP with ABC material.

    Some of the noise is very loud, though... Less than 100 to go... Saving up yet?
  21. A while ago I compared the Japanese 20-bit Digital K2 remastered mini-LP CD reissue of the Dolphy and the CD-layer of the SACD, and the latter "won", albeit by a very narrow margin.
  22. where does it state that? Oops, I guess I totally misread the review Sorry about that... I'll check my discographies and the tracklists of the various Savoy reissues. Please post the results! Those new Savoy packages are too expensive to just order now and think later (even more so in my buying freeze...) ubu All the tracks on the Savoy Norvo / Farlow / Mingus compilations Move and The Savoy Sessions do appear on The Modern Red Norvo and more.
