  1. B3-er could pin some warning over that thread "not for newbies" or "only for the initieated" or could ask for a special password ... ... and BTW, now where was that "origin" picture? I know the painting - okay I knew you wouldn't believe me - but missed the whole ballyhoo about the post.
  2. Now wait it a minute, I have plenty of organ Cds here in my collection that will approve of my ... what? you will do what? No! NO!!!!
  3. I've been wondering all the time who would have the courage to say that ...
  4. The dreaded ZYX company here in Germany did just that, put them four into a slipcase and sell them as a set! (The OJC discs in album order, that is.)
  5. Don't remember if I have already posted in this thread, too lazy to look, but I love 'em all - though the one that I would keep under any circumstance are the Thad Jones small group and the Giuffre.
  6. I have to agree with Jim that "Iska" is kind of an underrated gem. "Supernova" hinted at this, but is not on the same level conceptually. "Moto Grosso Feio" holds a special place in my heart for its openness. And I love his playing on Tyner's "Extensions". Still would like to hear that unissued session.

    Chick Webb

    Ha! I happen to use the same snare drum, and tom sizes. Now if I had a hunchback ... Thanks for these great pics. I'll have to check him out a lot more.
  8. Impossible to vote. If it is arranger and composer, well, Gil Evans was not much of a composer. I prefer being asked for a favourite, but better or worse ... all these guys were very good, as were Thad Jones, Bob Brookmeyer, Clare Fischer, and so many others. I hear that "American thing to be # 1" (Don Cherry) chime in here.
  9. It may have been intentional - I've seen it for the first time today, and it looks like it, wardrobe and all - but it also looks like she lost her courage at the last second.
  10. Say? Did the boys deliver?
  11. Human health and nutrition is too sophisticated to be summed up in something like the Atkins diet - it never convinced me, although it works, but that does not mean it is really healthy. Or maybe he simply didn't practice what he preached. They sure wouldn't tell us.
  12. I'd like to point out that a smile of approval showed on my face when I checked the Grammy awards listing and found your name on it, Christiern. You should know better, since you been there. I suspected Keepnews has at least a minor ego problem - seems to be a side-effect of record producing just as corruption is of a career in politics, that most succumb to. The world is not giving justice, we all know.
  13. yeah, rub it in... So ya don't like dem french horns, John? I certainly do! I was referring to your assumption that I included in the quote Poor little boy ... aber sie können geholfen werden ... B) (sorry for the misinterpretation)
  14. Re. the Koch Jazz reissues of the Jazz Modes CDs (Julius Watkins and Charlie Rouse): I searched the Koch site, but they seem to be OOP.
  15. yeah, rub it in... So ya don't like dem french horns, John?
  16. I am always amazed that it is possible to come up with something you don't know, Jim ... The BGP reissue says the sessions were produced by Keepnews and Lytle, so maybe he was de podner. These LPs are very rare, Dusty Groove has an LP reissue, but the BGP CD is still around.
