  1. What's your wife's age?
  2. Me too, of course! E-Mail on the way!
  3. You mean you didn't see any ladies at the parties because you were too drunk to? Then how did you get to know your wife?
  4. I hope I get you right when I say: The answer is YES!
  5. My wife does the cake ordering ... shall I PM her mobile phone number so you can negotiate this with her ? Besides, I'm sure I can make people drop without drinking ...
  6. Ha, ubu, I'm getting closer by the post!
  7. Even better, post your BFT guesses over there and post a link to them here! Next time I post my guesses one by one - one post for each track! Both here and on AAJ that is, and cross-linked!
  8. I can see at least two of them: one is after the post count, the other wants to discuss the music ....
  9. I was ahead of Ubu, but the bastard seems to spend more time at the computer than with his studies ... Let's create a new thread "For the post count" where we can all post single words in random fashion to increase the post count without getting in the way of those pursuing a serious discussion of things.
  10. Same her, although my living room is a little larger. It is important to have a non-reflective surface behind the speakers. Behind your seat it is notr that important.
  11. We're all in it for the post count, be honest! I had problems on Monday, 10 p.m. CET and gave up three hours later. I use Opera and didn't try IE. This morning everything was fine again. I never imagined how much I would miss this board, especially with my BT guesses ready for posting!
  12. I can only underline this all - without me giving her permission my mother would not have been able to go in peace. If you can bear it, try to be with her, talk to her or to her spirit - it will help all of you. My thoughts are with you, these are trying times.
  13. I fixed it; I had accidentally linked to the sidebar instead of the main page.
  14. In a way, I was, as I was able to catch samples of his early LPs on AFN radio when I started listening to jazz in my late teens. And I was (and still am) a big fan of the big band he joined a while after. Most diehard jazz fans were turned off by his later work, but compared to Kenny G. it's jazz heaven!
  15. So they didn't inlcude that in the Vogue reissue series a few years ago?
  16. I was able to fix the link. re disc 2 # 9: Think of a drummer that was pioneering bop drums and led a pianoless quartet in the 1980's. re disc 2 # 10: He was on the Chicago scene at the start of his career, Verve recently reissued his debut LP in the mini-LP series. I don't want to spoil the fun for anybody ....
  17. Who in all the world are you talking about??? I like his mid-1950's Prestige dates the best, they are very much fun to listen to. For Blue Note it was just two sessions with four tracks each. I was able to fix the link in my original post.
  18. Good idea! Could be from that four-track big band session, with some Tadd Dameron arrangements and Fats in the band. Don't have the Mosaic at hand, but maybe someone can find out? Oh happy guesses! I thought you knew your early Blue Note modern jazz sessions better! Those hearing a connection to Dizzy's late 1940's big band are closer than they think. Click here! Again link does not lead anywhere! Sorry! I do not know early BN particularly well, but I DID hear similarities to Dizzy's big band, at least ubu Try this link - I don't get the AMG adress I want with the other, what you see is just the sidebar. Strange things ... The link here is a compilation, it's track 7 here.
  19. and one more I have (and love) - but hey, the last track's 17 minutes! And where the f%&@ is the man with the saxophone? Was he edited out?!? He not laying out on that track, isn't he? The man on the piano is DA SHIT! One of my favorite musicians (I still have to save some $$ for the Select) - I discovered him through getting all his nineties stuff on Verve/Gitanes, some marvellous records! Buy this one as long as it's around! ubu re tenor sax: he plays some nice flute on this track ...... re: pianist: I LOVE him, have 80% of his records.
  20. Good idea! Could be from that four-track big band session, with some Tadd Dameron arrangements and Fats in the band. Don't have the Mosaic at hand, but maybe someone can find out? Oh happy guesses! I thought you knew your early Blue Note modern jazz sessions better! Those hearing a connection to Dizzy's late 1940's big band are closer than they think. AMG link p.s. link fixed!
  21. No, I didn't. You have it? Would be nice if you could enclose a photocopy at some occasion. I spend so much money on special music magazines (down beat, Jazz Times, Jazz Podium, Fono Forum, World of Music, Drums & Percussion, Sticks, Concerto, to name only the subscriptions) that I hesitate to spend on a newspaper - and I hardly have the time to read it. And reading all the bad news in the political section turns me off.
  22. See my blindfold test rule # 2: There's always a track from a disc you have or an artist you know but that you will not recognize!
  23. Actually, mine's later this month - and there's some live music involved, though it's not jazz in the strict sense of the word. There's good beer and vineyards-a-plenty too, although we're doing a non-alcoholic party - but you could bring your favourite drug .... seriously, you're welcome, just let me now and I'll find out if there's a bed for you.
  24. I haven't been laughing as much in the last six months as when I read through all these comments after posting my guesses!!! This is real fun, especially when you know a track and the others don't - now I know how you felt in previous discussions. This is getting more fun by the test! What a great idea! Thankx y'all!
