David Ayers

I sent an email but no response as yet - I think I may need a Plan B!

Yikes! Can anyone help me make a purchase from someone who ONLY ships to Germany and ONLY accepts a German style bank transfer? Thank you thank you thank you...

So it's love?

Just as I thought.

Why don't yu post a few pics of Frank Lowe too? Don't you fancy him?

While you are waiting you could swiftly learn to play jazz guitar then be ready to have some play-along duels with Tal when he arrives.

Is this thread about favorites lists or a wants lists?

I had never even heard of trees until today. Why am I so out of touch!

I'd like to hear your report on this - I find all female collaborations very intriguing - and rare!

Marilyn's own rectitals have a bit more structure and I prefer them for that reason. I find some of her free group contributions effective but - how can I put it - generalised? In duos the character of her work is more distinct and I like how she bounces off e.g. Braxton.

and... ? The suspense is killing me!

So her offence was continuing to chew after she entered the station? I wonder how the war on terror is going?

Am I the only person to have been disappointed by this much hyped album? I found it competent but tame, with too little material and, despite its (initial) hard-to-find status, too keen to cross over into a perceived 'mainstream' - as several recent recordings from the Parker/Shipp quarter seem to have been. I think they've lost direction a bit.

The discography of the Live Trane box is here. Maybe the additional tracks on the Newsound relase are in fact from the 1963 date? Anyone who has the box and has not seen Wild's corrections to the various errors ought to take a look at this page.

Coltranology (Affinity AFF 14) contains perhaps the most stunning version of MFT. Recorded Koncerthuset, Stockholm, Sweden, 23 November 1961. There are other issues for sure and there may be other tracks from this concert not on my LP.

I'm a 'no'. I used to have that problem, but it is now under control! I have a backlog, but it is not growing, so recordings come in at roughly the rate I pick them off. I don't actually have much time to listen, so it is worth keeping it in proportion.

After Simeoni testified against Ferrari for showing him how to use EPO, Armstrong called him a liar, and Simeoni on the advice of his lawyers sued Armstrong for defamation (remember, Simeoni had said nothing about Armstrong, who had chosen to leap to Ferrari's defence in order indirectly to defend himself - Armstrong had also consulted Ferrari). After the talking to he gave Simeoni, Armstrong returned to the peloton and made a zip motion across his lips. After the race, he is quoted as saying he had been 'protecting the interest of the peloton' by chasing Simeoni. Simeoni said that even if 90% of the peloton were against him he felt supported by 10%. Omertà? It's not attractive.

...

To say 1963 dramatically confirms that the jazz nerd knows the right date (1960 sounds like maybe a broad reference), with the bonus that the film maker thumbs his nose at the jazz nerds who know it is the wrong date. Including me, sadly.

The Trio double was issued all-in-one as a CD (at least, I think it is the same). Hues is on the Live Trio double LP. Sizzle never made it to CD. Sizzle is fun but skippable. Streams is a slightly poe faced trio date in Montreux which was briefly on CD. There is a lot of unissed live stuff which I would like to see issued as a box set. the Rick Lopez' Rivers discog is here.

Maybe a bit of both. It would be a pity to redo Basra! Also very recent titles in the current (J)RVG sound (such as Hi Voltage and Like Someone in Love) will surely not need redoing.

I saw a mildly surreal film (which had a cameo by Jacques Derrida) where in one scene a girl who needs to raise some cash takes her walkman into the electronic goods store, says what it cost her, and asks what it is worth to buy back. The salesman takes a hammer and smashes up the walkman. He says "When we sell it to you it is worth 600 Francs, but when you try to sell it to us it is worth nothing". PS I think the theme of the film might have been capitalism.

Buy a bike and get OUT there!

Thanks Kevin. I imagine most of these are the existing JRVGs. But I wonder if an early one like HS and the JMs will get a rehash? In any case, I am a TOCJ24 convert (and I haven't even got any yet...).

The copy of that Archie Shepp/Bill Dixon Quartet Savoy LP I have lists Shepp/Dixon as producer. Surprised that Shepp could not prevail on Dixon to reissue this! Dixon is bitter about it. They sold a ten year lease to Savoy for one dollar when nobody was interested. In an interview Dixon remarks ominously that he will be publishing his side of the story one day. Maybe Chuck has the skinny on this? Or maybe its all there in that one dollar fee. So, uh, I won't be bootlegging this one, it would just add insult to injury... Maybe this is one for UMS...?
