yup. how many do you want?

what you talking about, you FOOL!

as if this is some sort of post count competition

Sounds promising brownie. I myself have been enjoying some by another Italian accordéon (fisa) player, Luciano Biondini. If nothing else, his performance in a trio with Gabriele Mirabassi (cl, bcl) and Michel Godard (tuba) is certainly interesting. Lots of folk/banda influences, probably closer to the musette sound that one would expect from an accordéon, but nevertheless very enjoyable and with some neat surprise turns. His main role is in support of Mirabassi, though.

BTW, I don't think that Metheny's opinion, whether it means he disses today's be bop players or not, warrants one to lose all respect for the man. At least he has an opinion.

that's yiddish and stems from the German Schlange, indeed snake or hose

secret code word: "the likes of" as in: those dudes today who play like Miles/Trane played back in the day.

... I don't know where you got the notion that because Metheny expects the music to evolve and move forward that he is somehow disrespecting Miles or Coltrane (two of the most progressive and forward thinking musicians of the genre).

Um.... what are you talking about?

B3er, both Miles and Trane are dead and do not play be bop now, the present day. Just thought I'd point to some qualifiers in Jazz Kat's post (welcome to the board to him BTW), before you get into a hissie fit jumping up and down on things he never said.

german would be Schwanz, which translates as "tail."

pity. Do you think catesta is looking?

oh yeah? name two! I dare you...

I have noticed my firewall pops in with dubious messages every now and then when I open a torrent. Plus I update my virus scanner on a daily basis. Anyhow, there is way too much up for download there anyway so I have been turning to the really interesting and otherwise unavailable stuff in good sound only. That leaves not much really.

hope all will be fine soon, with cake and family visits. All the best wishes

http://www.easytree.org/ Easy tree is a site where you can download various shows & hopefully one day I'll be able to work out how to play them once I've downloaded them. Most of these shows feature lossless compression. You will either need to get a plugin for a player like WinAmp or Foobar, or uncompress the files to create regular .wav Most shows are in FLAC format, download the installer and have a go. A few of the shows are in SHN format.

just saw the Atzmon is available on easytree

cool feature:

first we get tomfoolery with taco rolls, and now this.

erm... never mind
