I guess there are reasons for you wanting to terminate your membership, and I think it should be done if it's not too difficult, technically, but I suppose it would be troublesome if you want your posts to go away as well. I hope all is well with you, though.

I learned that they were at least allowed to release them on pre-recorded compact cassette, so I bought a couple for my car stereo... but, alas, they were all 8-track cartridges.

I suppose he can't really help the order being cancelled. "Cleopatra's Needle" was the first CD ever I've pre-ordered from Japan. FWIW I think it's decent, but a bit hyped-up. It's still listed as 'in stock' at Amazon.

Hope you don't mind, Hans! No cardboard sleeves this time round.

I wish you a great one!

DEEP made many feel uncomfortable and was generally an unpleasant guy.

Are they better then the Riverside? Yes! The Riverside solo session (it came out on Milestone actually, didn't it?) is fascinating, but has a somewhat improvised, unplanned feeling... while "Alone" is different... I agree completely. Evans are sometimes almost painfully exposed during the Riverside sessions, and while listening to that may be a moving experience, I feel that the he performs much better on the Verve sessions. I never thought of that (don't have the album at hand right now, though), but I specifically remember the sound on the alternates from the first CD edition. I thought they sounded as if they were played through a tube amp with bad tubes or something... too much middle, weak treble, ringing distorsion. The sessions (with countless splices and overdubs) were recorded at Van Gelder's, no? Read somewhere Evans did not like Van Gelder's piano sound.

One alternate of "A Time for Love" (in my opinion by far the best take, albeit very slightly marred by some occasional "ringing" sound from the microphones, tubes or something else) was left out on the VME, presumably due to the usual time restictions, the VME is close to 80 minutes. However, this longer version of "A Time for Love" was also on the first CD release from the late 80s, so you'll get everything which has been released from these sessions if you have both single CD releases. I think these solo sessions were the best Evans did, better than the more talked-up "Conversations/Further conversations" sessions

I would assume that the producer's rights have expired (50+ years since the recording was released). Still, the copyright in the compositions lasts for the autor's life +70 years.

The cover picture is stolen from the "Jazz Impressions..." album.

Also German issues of some titles (by Metronome) seem to have been green.

Thanks for letting us know! It also made me change back my avatar...

We've visited you daily for some time, and now you're telling us you didn't even know what it was all about! Anyway, I think the "visitors" are simply those who have viewed your forum profile. For that matter, I don't have any visitors at all. I suppose that means noone has visited my profile page since this feature was introduced. But you can't have a look, because then it'll show I've had a visitor after all...

pwn FTW

A few good solos here and there, but Woods had become a bit mannered at this point already. The compositions are nothing too special. Nice, but not memorable IMO.

There is a minute-long quote from Rite of Spring in a Clare Fishcer big-band composition on the Pacific Jazz 'Manteca' album (can't remember the title). It has a latin beat to it. As for Skip Martin, he's a bit stiff in places, no? Nevertheless, 'Sheherajazz' brought a smile to my face.

Send me some MP3s, my friend!

On the other hand it appears that he had quite serious mental problems. This is an episode from "Thelonious Monk - His Life and Music" by Thomas Fitterling (Berkeley Hills, 1997) This is the kind of episode which seems likely to turn up in the film...

Actually, I've returned to this album a couple of times recently and found it rather good. Is it getting better, or am I getting worse...?

I would think so! Just don't forget to beware of the actual recorded sound, since it's close to unlistenable... :rsly:

Sonet SNTF947, recorded July 8th, 1985, featuring Carter, Red Norvo, Nat Adderley, Horace Parlan, Red Mitchell and Ronnie Gardiner. Tunes: Easy Money, Memories of You, Blues for Lucky Lovers, When Lights Are Low, Here's That Rainy Day and Work Song (with Adderley singing).

So when is 'Windmill Tilter' coming out? It's announced on the Qnote website, but the link for the web shop is broken: http://www.qnote.co.uk/

Besides, using a flash at that disctance is useless.
