Is it still $ 60 including shipping to Germany? I will finally get my long awaited tax refund next week ....

While searching for exact dates of the Monterey Jazz Festival I stepped over this and after having a look at its contents, immediately odered a copy from amazon. Magnificent book, Jim Marshall's photos are fantastic! At merely $ 30 it's a steal. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1909526320/ref=s9_acsd_simh_bw_cr_x__a_w?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3&pf_rd_r=3YBAYXD5DJXFCAJQ4CHW&pf_rd_r=3YBAYXD5DJXFCAJQ4CHW&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=fe185ec9-c8f5-44c0-897e-4c0bde93268c&pf_rd_p=fe185ec9-c8f5-44c0-897e-4c0bde93268c&pf_rd_i=283155

R.I.P., and thanks for the power and soul of your voice.

Final volume of this series - this music couldn't be played better.

For the same reason I keep my old French LP box set. It's all a question of how much you want it and how much you are willing to spend.

Back then it was one of my favourites. I still have the 45, it is in a box on the shelf two feet from my head while I write this.

One of the heroines of my last school years when I discovered black music - my thoughts are with her.

I hope so! My thoughts exactly ....

Another one: "Hey Ho", on Herbie Mann's Atlantic LP "The Beat Goes On", written by one Herbie ............. Hancock! Very simple tune, from his early attempts at trying to be "funky", I guess.

My remark was not aimed at your choice of words but at someone else's elaborate posts ..... BTW: You can edit the thread title yourselves, if you want, by editing the first post.

New arrivals during the week_ All excellent, great historical instruments - but the highlight is this one: Better, more intimate sound than on Rousset's CDs, a 1776 Dulcken harpsichord (that Rousset also played), and her best recording to date, flawless, playful, completely at ease with herself and the music. Highly recommended!

Thanks for pointing these out, but I'm not the one who can afford one sonic upgrade after another ..... Forgot to mention Kenny Burrell's God Bless the Child - my favourite of them all, and the only one that gets regular play.

I have two or three CDs with his music, but it didn't attract me that much.

Dmitri Shostakovich Blame it on me, but I hardly know his music.

I dislike the bombastic CTI sound, prefer Creed Taylor's work on Verve or A & M, where it was not as exaggerated. I do not like the bass and drums sound on these recordings, and some of the featured guys, like Steve Gadd. I kept very few for that reason - All the Ron Carter albums (except for "Anything Goes") Blue Moses (although that one could have been much better with Melba Liston arranging) Hubert Laws' In The Beginning Airto's Free and Fingers George Benson's Beyond the Blue Horizon Of the Milt Jackson albums, only the one with Turrentine survived the purge. The CD reissues could sound a lot better if they hadn't used so much noise reduction - Van Gelder's CTI's have a lot of tape hiss and if you reduce it you damage the overall sound, IMHO.

I like bass clarinet. I cannot think of any classical clarinet piece that like, but I enjoy baroque music by Telemann or Graupner written for the chalumeau - we have an excellent player of that instrument here in the area. I indeed hate the altissimo register, that's why I enjoy jazz players who rarely use it, like Jimmy Giuffre, or with a very individual note, Pee Wee Russell, or Edmond Hall. Re the thread title: A classical music instrument is an instrument used in classical music, period. Not exclusively, of course.

Clarinet - in jazz, too.

Thanks - was able to find a cheap used copy.

Larry, what is your source for Rosen's remarks - iis it in his book "The Classical Style" or elsewhere - I'd like to read the full text. Thanks in advance.
