Sorry, I completely forgot about this thread after my vacation in Bulgaria last year - Damstadt has some to offer besides the jazz institute, even some jazz concerts or club gigs! Met King ubu in Zurich as announced - met brownie in Paris in August. This year I cannot make it to Paris or Stralsund, as much as i'd like to - only vacation will be in Bulgaria last week of July, first week of August, with a visit to the Varna Jazz Festival in the middle. Anybody else go there? Life is cheap in Bulgaria!

bonne aniversaire, Michel!

Indeed! I regret I sold my LP when I needed some dough ... I liked the opening track, Congo Call, a lot. Nice vibe with the two bassists.

Sorry, no - the bonus is the complete Kismet LP.

Never heard a bad note from that cat. Enjoyed his playing from the first solo I ever heard of him and still do. One of Europe's best jazz guitarists ever.

Just downed a healthy helping of mixed stuffed pasta (three different types with different cheeses) with plain tomatp sauce, added some olive oil and grained peccorino a plenty. Now on to a cup of ristratto and some hazelnut ice cream dish.

Miles Davis, LIVE-EVIL Herbie Hancock & The Headhunters, Flood Ray Brown Trio with Geoffrey Keezer, Live at Starbucks Eddie Harris & Les McCann, Swiss Movement Ahmad Jamal, Live at the Pershing or any other with Israel Crosby & Vernel Fournier Thelonious Monk, Big Band & Quartet in Concert the live portions of Mongo Santamaria, Afro-American Latin any live Cal Tjader Wes Montgomery, Impressions (i.e. the Half Note recordings on Verve), or the Paris 1965 concert Keith Jarrett, Fort Yawuh

I found her sexy only with Vulcanian ears in one of the first Star Trek movies.

Wanted to suggest just that! Count me in for a copy, and congrats on the gig!

Sorry to hear that - errhh ... I mean congratulations! I wish you all the best with your baby and wife - I will simply delete you from the list so everyone steps one up.

I think noone can, and noone should - I always thought the days of those big # 1 superstars in jazz overshadowing all other talents are over - on any instrument. I'm glad there is such a wealth of talent with different styles around, and we don't need a king in jazz - jazz is a democracy rather than a royalty. I sincerely appreciate all of the players mentioned.

AFAIK he is working on a third volume - I sincerely hope he gets it together, at his age. One of the greatest jazz scholars around, and one who lived the era.

... one year? I do not want to discourage you, but at one test a month ... Nevertheless, welcome in this club of enthusiasts!

Any agreement between the two of you as far as posting the answers to BFT 23 is concerned?

There will be some Joe Henderson CD from an Andoranian label soon, I'm sure ... wonder what might have happened had I taken my Basra LP cover to the anti-Bush demo at Mainz on Tuesday and waved it toward the Pres ...

Received it last week, it's great, better than the Rhyne. Currently listening to Brad Leali's Priority Soul, which I got after a long search, it has Rhyne on it, alongside Peter bernstein and Jimmy Cobb, and is very nice!

This guy looks like Germany's recent pumped up Schlagerwunder .... (whatshisname, the one who bumped a truck without a driver's licence) after a haircut, or his smart elder brother.

Could be 'cause it is available on CD - maybe he didn't know about that - it's not easy to get.

The first one I memorized, BTW, was Jackie-Ing.

Why do you poll fanatics always forget the most important option: All of the above! Besides that, it would be the most challenging to listen to "Dance", I guess ...

I went through my elder brother's singles collection, he had left that behind when he moved out. Besides Elvis Presley and Little Richard there were three jazz records among it: A Dixieland band I do not remember, a Lionel hampton Trio (vibes, guitar and bass, Vogue) and the first Modern Jazz Quartet EP. It was the latter that hooked me: I did not understand this music, but it had something that made me listen to it over and over again. I still love it. I was listening to the Beatles and all at the time, but when Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison hit the scene I found them too lascivious and started buying Jazz LPs from a sales bin at the local record shop, Herbie Mann, Cannonball's Bossa Nova, Modern Jazz Quartet .... that was it. There was (and still is) something in the music that merits repeated listening - a pop song I knew inside out after listening twice.

I had no idea about his political opinions when a friend gave me a copy of EXILE, and I found the music to be very interesting and accomplished, but that some of the elements are more or less confronted than really integrated, which of course can be viewed as a mirror of the social situation in Israel or the exile he lives in. When I learned more about him in the thread couw linked above, it seemed logical to me. Methinks a radical attitude in life will show in a radical attitude in music - his music is not easy, a little disjointed, it seems to me. But I also think it is no criterion for its relevance.
