B3 and tabla - and it works! I will purchase this as every Melvin Rhyne album.

I sincerely hope the strike is over when we head for Sicily for a week in November ..... although I love risotti just as well.

You're correct, the Classics CDs give the complete picture. If you want just the Metronomes, the Prestige might do. But this early stuff is all great. Does the Classics have the alternates from the Blue Note date?

I don't expect any twofers in the Keepnews series.

It also was on several other compilations, but the Prestige CD has the complete sessions, which make a much nicer impression than just the single track. His Swedish accompanists were the finest on the scene.

Correct.

Elusive???? The vocalized version is probably better known than the original - which might be the case with more than one vocalese intrumental source - but other than that ...... It was recorded in Sweden and licensed for the US, that's all.

my thoughts exactly! Could be they simply used the mastertape of the 1970's twofer LP - the new people in charge don't know what they're doing!

Just ordered used copies of Vol. 2 & 4 of J.S. Bach's harpsichord concertos with the Purcell Quartet and Robert Woolley from amazon.co.uk - I have Vol. 1 & 3, but they're all oop. Woolley is the only one to play the solo part exactly as written, with no rhythmical deviations - Bach wrote it all out!

Time to get his first trio album upon arriving in the US:

At least they're not fake ...

No mention of this on German TV news yesterday - I am disappointed! I don't get Austrian TV - I'm sure they had an obituary.

Winning bid: US $ .............

I can't wait!

These guys do an excellent job - that's a great bunch of collectors behind this all. I stumbled over this many years ago when looking for info about Ahmad Jamal's Parrott recordings.

R.I.P. Two of my conga students brought the news this evening - they were half an hour late 'cause they had listened to an obituary on the radio. I was fortunate to see Weather Report twice - the music of that band was highly influential on my generation - Zawinul, Hancock, and Mahavishnu showed the way how to fuse jazz and rock or funk, and how to personalize electronics. Thanks a lot for the achievements.

So, how are chances you buy doubles?

That'a what I asked myself all the while - but, as with CDs, no cure in sight!

I heard two of his CDs as a leader (one was the collaboration with Herbie Mann) and was put off by the synthesized and drum machined rhythm section - the antithesis of Cuban rhythm, IMO. But I've heard him play excellently as a sideman.

I forgot Lewis Carroll! I have some William Beckford ?!?! Any relation?

No kidding! I have the single volumes Gladstone edition and love it!

Already too late. It might be possible to get through the words but the ideas will bog you down. There's always hope! Done already! Next are the music books shelves as I gained some space there ......

I had to rearrange the bookshelves in one room during the last two weeks, all fiction, and noticed that I own the complete or collected works, some in single volumes, some in boxed editions, of many more authors than I thought. Now I became curious about what complete works other members might have. Here are mine, sorted by languages (I don not pretend I have read through all of this!): German: Jean Paul Ernst Theodor Amadée Hoffmann Wilhelm Hauff Johann Heinrich Zschokke Novalis (Friedrich von Hardenberg) Friedrich Hölderlin Ernst Weiss Hermann Hesse Leo Perutz Fritz von Herzmanowsky-Orlando H. C. Artmann Erich Fried English/American: William Shakespeare Daniel Defoe Oscar Wilde Dylan Thomas D.H. Lawrence Joseph Conrad Malcolm Lowry Edgar Allan Poe Mark Twain Dashiell Hammett Raymond Chandler Carl Barks French: Gustave Flaubert Raymond Queneau Raymond Roussell Julien Gracq Italian: Luigi Pirandello Andrea de Carlo Spanish/Latin American: Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra Jorge Luis Borges Julio Cortázar José Lezama Lima Alejo Carpentier Slavic: Vladimir Majakovskij Velimir Chlebnikov Mircea Eliade I hope I will grow old enough to read all of this .....

Mission accomplished
