I like Fancy Free, Kofi, and Electric Byrd, but he lost me after that. I cannot listen to that Mizell stuff.

I use Opera, had to wait a while due to my modem connection, but everything worked fine.

The Krall will grace my Christmas music pile soon - but judging from the download tracks (are they still there?) my biggest wish would be an Organissimo Xmas CD ....... c'mon guys, give it to us: plain cardboard sleeve, with a pic of Santa's boogalooing sisters on the cover ... That's one I always wanted to have - didn't know it was still available. To my delight it is available from Amazon.de via Caiman for just 9 EURO incl. shipping, which nicely fits into my very small Xmas budget.

Blue meanie here - although I find the option of choosing a skin by far the best!

I will keep some with really rare material if they are pre-recorded, and plan to transfer the rare and live stuff I have - I reckon the days are not very far ahead when there will be no more cassette machines. The sound quality is simply too low compared to other media.

I too heard that story and remember this was dicussed before - maybe on the old BNBB? Anyway - I tried to find out when I played that tune with a band, and got the story about the Danish folk song sung to little Sonny boy by his nanny. Can't seem to find any web source right now.

Just got used to the nu blu .... old peach starts looking fuzzy to me but now that I can choose ..... two organissimo fractions: the blues and the peaches, huh?

Is that the one with Pharoah Sanders and Herbie Hancock?

I think I had my first paying when I was around 25, but I was over 40 when music started to become my only paying job .....

BTW - how long did it take you to assemble this master collage?

Who plays any Duke Pearson tunes, these days? Or Wayne Shorter's, or Monk's, besides those played by everybody? Or McCoy Tyner's from his later Blue Note days?

I have a Koss: http://www.koss.com/

He obviously had some bad luck all along with his BFT - he was covered up in work when was to send the discs, and so on - shit happens, and when the answers are posted, I won't lose one more word about it. But I want them. If he'd just tell what's the game it would make it easier to stay patient. Just a simple list with only the basic info would be sufficient. Or has he lost his list?

The "today's active topics" link is still there on the starting page - maybe you can get the code from there, Jim?

What glitches?!?!?!?! I use OPERA and never saw any! The blue background makes the yellow orange in my avatar seem less bright

To each his own ......

I think this calls for action - at least some warning signal is in order.

Does this model need a tv screen as a display for the adjustments etc.?

I think stiff does not quite nail it - you have to play somewhat more straight in these time signatures, especially if the tempos are fast. In slow to mid tempos, you can superimpose a triplet feeling, but in fast tempos this is getting dangerous. It's a different rhytmic conception coming from musical cultures not knowing the concept of superimposing two different pulsations, but use one of them at a time. Otherwise the subdivisions are obscured an you are risking to get lost in the rhythm.

I sold mine when I got the Blue Note CD. What a debut (James Clay's)! And Sonny Clark is very prominent too - that version of Minor Meeting is my favorite.

Wishing you luck and signing in!

Thanks for sharing these memories - I sure expect to hear those tubes on the next Organissimo CD ..... IIRC correctly, Max Roach - who founded M'Boom - used one of these made by the Hollywood Meazzi drum company in the early 1960's.

I go to a male stylist, the same one for many years now. He owns the shop - before him it was the guy who he learned his trade with, he took the shop over at a certain point, and before him it was a very very cute 'n' pretty Italian stylist - it almost broke my heart when she married and moved out of town ..... the two were the first to use Vidal Sasson's methods in Germany.

So one day there will be a series of "Alternate BFTs"?

R.I.P., brother in drums. Another great rhythm spirit has left us.
