Waiting for the Boogaloo Sisters... RELEASED!
mikeweil replied to Jim Alfredson's topic in organissimo - The Band Discussion
I feel that, too, and I'm twice your age! So either you work harder or ..... but no, let's keep up the good work, musically and domestically, I'll have a lot of repairs coming up in my mother's flat. -
I could almost smell the foul air hanging over that first "fanpost". This had to be fake! I appreciate you made that public, B3-er, I wanted to find out with my question, but your method is far more effective.

For those who wonder why nothing much has been heard of him on the US scene in recent years: he moved to Spain and plays with a band named "Los Piratas del Flamenco"!

Can I have been hacked even though my Antivirus
mikeweil replied to BERIGAN's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
Things like this are the reason why some guys program this malware - to point out the stupidity of many Windows features. I get their point, but can't tolerate computers of people are abused or damaged who are guilty of nothing but using Microsoft programs. They should rather spend their energies on developping better software and putting it on the web for free download, like the Linux stuff. There need to be more affordable alternatives to Microsoft, or this won't change. -
Can I have been hacked even though my Antivirus
mikeweil replied to BERIGAN's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
I had the same problem with my former Internet provider's software, which first kept changing the starting page in Internet Explorer to their homepage, even after I changed it manually, and then even disabled the manual change option! I had to edit the registry to get rid of it! Found instructions for this on some specialists' forum. -
Sorry Jim, I have all of these, and it's none of them! But yes, insane they are - nice Idea for my BT and hoping everybody has forgotten til then!
-
Hm ... do you want me to edit my post with quote from your post accordingly? It doesn't update automatically. We could both delete our posts and do as if nothing had happened at all ....

The AMG link doesn't list a drummer, but a look into Bruyninckx revealed it is not Dunlop on that album - somewhat too busy for him, anyway, but that drummer sure is great, but completely unknown to me! - if it's that album.

Funny, that was the first album that came to my mind! But I listened to it only once at a friend's place, and that was many, many years ago. I realized what they wanted to do and why, but there was something with most European bands I missed, and that was the deep black groove. Now I can understand why they gave up on trying to get it ( ), but I liked it better. Maybe that's because I am of a later geneartion that didn't have to fight with their American idols, or not in the same way. If you're correct, it is not the leader but the two saxists who have changed considerably since then. The alto player died long ago and was one of the very best in Europe - I saw him live shortly before his death and he was outplaying everybody else in the band and would have given Jackie McLean a very hard time! The tenor guy has changed his sound radically since then to a pretty raspy tonal palette that does not attract me, as if he purged every trace of Prez' beauty from his horn. This all, assuming your guess is correct. A great compliment to a German band by an American player, BTW!

Jim, your first link to track # 3 leads to your guess for track # 2 - you probably didn't notice. I concur with you on # 3 - didn't realize it was the identical take. But who was the cat that Alexander used to go after ?
-
Not sure you are referring to my post, but if so, you're not quite correct: I said "he sure has heard his Steve Lacy", meaning he uses some licks or conceptions, but he sure sounds different.

Stuff Smith Set No Longer Available
mikeweil replied to Leeway's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
p.s. The Keynote set is another example - owned by Universal, who toys with the idea of doing it themselves. It was on LP in Japan in the 1980's - one of Kiyoshi "Boxman" Koyama's masterpieces - and they would only have to take it from the shelf and remaster it! Ridiculous! I have some of the stuff on single CDs and it is prime small group swing on the level of the Commodores - and that's another archive Universal sits on - the longer I think about how much great music they are sitting on that is not available the angrier I get! -
I bought this for the Eddie Vinson sides in the first place, but found out all the stuff in it is great, complete sessions, great notes, the Jay McShann stuff is very good. I recommend it, this is one that by far surpassed my expectations - it's a lot jazzier than the title suggests. As for the Vinson, that was his prime time and some of the best he ever did! This includes the complete 1940's Mercury sessions of: Albert Ammons Helen Humes Jay McShann Eddie Vinson Roy Byrd (= Professor Longhair, some of his rarest stuff) Julia Lee Myra Taylor Rex Stewart Buddy Rich Cootie Williams and two never before or after released Mary Lou Williams tracks, which are a gem!

Stuff Smith Set No Longer Available
mikeweil replied to Leeway's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
I can imagine Universal wants to get some money out of these sets faster, before the licensing period is over - that could be the idea for the Mulligan set being available at retailers in the beginning. Well, same goes for the new Select sets ... Anyway, Universal is not the easiest partner to deal with. Remember how long Cuscuna waited to do the Mulligan set because Verve for years said they wanted to do it themselves? Or the Roach, which was announced on the Verve website and then suddenly was released by Mosaic? Too bad I didn't get the Stuff Smith in time ... one of those I always set back because of others running low have the Verve twofer and like it. -
Distributors in different parts of the world set their first sales date completely independent of each other, according to their market evaluation, concurring tour or TV dates etc. - a well informed retailer told me this. How did you get to know about the organissimo forum, debbie? There's no link on the Blue Note website.

Our postgirls here are very careful, will bring the mail to your door if it is too large for the postbox, always have a smile on their face ... sounds like paradise, heh I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about the female quote at the Karlsruhe post office.

If you stay up all day and night staring at it it will play 24 hpd

My parents had a record player taht could play at 16 rpm, but no records for that speed. I remember having lots of fun playing my records at slower speed, sounded weird. I know Prestige did a handful of 16 rpm LPs in the late 1950s, there was a thread on this here - never saw one of these.

I live a few miles east of Wiesbaden, and nothing but Postwomen here too!!! B)

I still do for not getting the Ellington sets! But I'll secure the Blue Mitchell right now.

Can I have been hacked even though my Antivirus
mikeweil replied to BERIGAN's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
Surfing the web and/or receiving mails without an up-to-date firewall and anti-virus software is like having sex with daily changing partners without condoms in the HIV age. Someday it will happen ..... I never trusted that Outlook stuff. I use Opera to browse, Internet Explorer only to view pages Opera cannot handle, a firewall, and a mail programm that enables me ti view the mail headers and delete messages on the server without having to download them. The simplest rule is the most important: Never, Never open a mail whose sender you do not know, does not make sense or has some nonsense spelling in it. The second rule: keep the antivirus software up to date: I do it every day. With all the files that Windows keeps in hidden places even when deleting a program I doubt this will remove the malware. Get an up-to-date anti-virus-software, make sure it takes care of backdoor programs and trojans as well or use an additional program for these, scan your computer and have them delete the stuff. You can use online scanning services to check your computer to verify it was done right. These can be found through any search engine. Two weeks ago I had about thirty mail with the same virus. All but two were erased by the anti-virus software of my mail server, the other two by the virus guard on my computer. But if you get something like a keylogger, that is more difficult. A friend of mine caught one with some file exchange and took a week or two to notice and erase it. Several freemail servers in Germany offer free anti-virus mail scanning and spam filters, I guess there are some in the US too. This should be supported to make it standard requirements for all mail servers!
