Oh my poor little purse ... thanks for reminding me about this!

How do you know?

Silver's first attempt at vocals came about when Jon Hendricks couldn't find the time to do one Silver had requested - Senor Blues was the result, sung by Bill Henderson and included as a bonus track on the "Six Pieces of Silver CD". I can understand that one might find them corny, but he had a message, and I dig Bey and the others. Have 'em all.

"I've Got A Feeling" from the Pentangle's second LP Sweet Child also resembles All Blues - it is credited to the Pentangle members, who copyrighted all their songs colleictively, no matter who wrote them. An old folk song could be the inspiration, but Miles' tune just as well.

There was an Atlantic Jazz reissue of the Tente LP which includes three bonus tracks, # 90983-2. I find Charles to be one of the most original of all jazz vibists, and can recommend any of his albums. The Original Jazz Classics CDs partly overlap, but swing like mad - his take on Third Stream Jazz had a lot more zest! That session with Shorty Rogers and Shelly Manne is a killer! This here, BTW, was the cover of his other Atlantic LP:

Same here. Very good to read to can become that old with drumming ..... R.I.P. I recommend Herbie Mann's first Atlantic Village Gate LP for a sample of his drumming. He plays a very good solo in "It ain't necessarily so". Another one is in "New York is a jungle festival" on the follow-up LP. I always thought he was born in Africa, BTW - the first Herbie Mann LP liner states he is from Dakar ...

I'd say in this case jsngry has to double his daily postings ... to make Überfunk happen.

May sound sarcastic, but I always thought many of his compositions or even more those of Glass were on that level ...

I'm still somewhat disappointed that Jsngry is still Dr. Funkenstein after he reached the 6000 level, especially after Jazzmoose passed the 5000 mark, and there can only be one Dr. Funkenstein! Need any suggestions?

So she changed her mode of operation?

Thanks, Chuck, for reminding me of the Roulette - of course I have it, but was too lazy to check my LP bin. My apologies - I love them all. But I can see why you think the Roulette is special. Mosaic should collect these all in one Select ... And you're right about that alternate, which is without Miles, BTW. Never heard it. If I were producing Fantasy reissues, I'd reassemble many an album ... that Konitz material would nicely fit on one CD.

Welcome back Daniel! Do you want to do Blindfold Test # 11 or # 12? It's your choice!

This always might bring up the desire for those still missing .....

C'mon! I don't believe a single word!!! p.s. give up - or give in - it's useless

What puzzles me is that my copy of THE GOLDEN FLUTE is a digipak, but has the other LPR releases listed underneath the transparent jewel. The sound on the Gloria Coleman is odd in one respect: the bass drum is almost inaudible. Rudy Van Gelder seems to have had problems with balancing the bass drum alongside the organ pedals and double bass, as he often mixed the bass drum way too low, IMHO. Or he simply didn't like it. He also has a tendency to mix the drums as a whole a little too low in the mix. You have to listen real hard for the bassdrum on all Jimmy Smith Blue Notes.

Getting back to topic: Considering the large number of tunes Miles stole or "borrowed" I wouldn't be surprised - but I also think that Pepper wouldn't have missed the opportunity to brag about it in his autobiography.

Fine! I'll move Daniel A two steps further down the list, for the moment.

Now what is the reason? I'm afraid Manfred Eicher's esthetic takes away too much of the rough edges of this music. All the cymbal sounds of the drummers are so similar on ECM records, and - but this is very often the case - the drums are too low in the mix, and everything is at too far a distance from the speakers - i.e. the soundstage is like on top of a Norwegian mountainscape - all digitally effected, of course.

Oddly enough, my all-time favourite Konitz is on the three Nonet LPs, which are a wonderful continuation of that famous band he was in:

The Conception and the extended OJC of this give all of Konitz on Prestige, BTW:

They are available on this single CD: Original Jazz Classics OJCCD-1726-2 Track list: 1. Odjenar performed by Lee Konitz - 2:51 2. Hi Beck performed by Lee Konitz - 3:05 3. Yesterdays performed by Lee Konitz - 2:25 4. Ezz-Thetic performed by Lee Konitz - 2:51 5. Indian Summer performed by Lee Konitz - 2:32 6. Duet for Saxophone and Guitar performed by Lee Konitz - 2:37 7. Conception (Shearing) performed by Miles Davis - 4:01 8. My Old Flame (Coslow/Johnston) performed by Miles Davis - 6:33 9. Intoit performed by Stan Getz - 3:20 10. Prezervation performed by Stan Getz - 2:41 11. I May Be Wrong performed by Gerry Mulligan - 3:27 12. So What performed by Gerry Mulligan - 2:44 The Mulligan tracks are in fact from a 1950 Chubby Jackson big band session featuring Mulligan. This CD is one of the few possibilities to get the two Konitz/Bauer duets!

Agree with you on Eubanks' growth - saw him live with that band and liked him much better than on the CDs. But I'm biased, as Priester is my all time favourite trombonist.

Priester was an important voice in that (first) edition of the Dave Holland Quintet. On the next album, Robin Eubanks replaced him. Many consider this to be the most interesting edition of Dave's quintet. I have to admit I like Priester much better than Eubanks in this band ... I like Priester best on: 1) Sam Rivers' Dimensions and Extensions (Blue Note) - that most unlikely horn section of Donald Byrd, Julian Priester, James Spaulding and Sam Rivers works out excellently, to these ears, and Priester cleverly stays on the thin line between inside and outside playing. 2) Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi (Warner Brothers) - his solo on "Wandering Spirit Song" (which he also wrote) is so beautifully forlorn, always on the verge of getting lost in background, truly illustrating the song's title.

My thoughts exactly!

So one can change the board name without having the post count being set back to "1"?
