one of the worst cover designs ever. it's so bad, it's good again. what *were* "they" thinking?

really bad! don't buy it!

I still find that Rod'rick - Eric connection dubious. The stress is not on the same syllables and it doesn't even rhyme. I'm stuck, anyone know a player named Hudalla or Alla or La with first name?

now THAT book's a well selected treasure trove (FWIW, it's titled "The Smithsonian Collection of Newspaper Comics")

abebooks.com has several copies for 1$ and up.

so, can I use Wolf Hudalla - Alan Ralph?

Is Appel's assumption that joy, ebulience, and ingratiation are automatically minstrel qualities? That it's always a "persona"? dunno, is it? from what I am reading, he says that minstrelsy comes with the qualities listed, not that the qualities listed always come with minstrelsy. Where Louis's qualities fit in, I leave to those better informed.

it's the alphabet of the new ages.

24 December 1953

one year later: 24 December 1965

it used to be so that only a couple of the handful of plants that produce CDrs could be trusted for good product. Fuji did not put out product from those plants, but used the same plants that produced all of the no-name shite. Similarly, part of the Philips and TDK disks were from bad production. In the old days only Sony, Maxwell (certain types only), and Kodak could be trusted. Kodak was the best, but they stopped producing disks... Nowadays, things have levelled AFAIK and there still being only a handful of plants producing disks, almost all are good. Quality control is what differs most as far as I can judge, buy cheap, buy duds that won't burn properly. Buy a bit more and you're in. Pay LOTS more and you're in for a small eternity. But who wants that?

so, what was that all about? catesta thought the server might have been hit by a truck full of ice or something like that.

expand your horizons and order the Hodeir Jazz et Jazz disk. Much cool stuff on that disk. Jazz of wide open horizons indeed. Then again, you don't really want to trust me and my taste. :rsly:

Wolf Hudalla! not the same letters but still a WAY cool name!

if nothing else, that Raymond Fol - Quatre Saisons disk is a darn funny one. I like it. Much better than the same old stale old.

sleep? wassat?

no wonder the monktail site is down couw can't see the pic

brownie is right. the first disk is good, but it gets better IMO. So don't just audition the first disk to form a quick opinion whether you like the music. If you do, this box will surely be more than just a little.

http://roundaboutjazz.de/depages/Survey.htm Thanks for that link, John. I didn´t have that one on my "Ellington" folder of favorite websites. You're welcome. I went looking for an online version of the article without distorted tables and this is the first one I stumbled on.

Sorry, but this goes beyond what a critic or author of liner notes is allowed to say, IMHO. yeah, but it's a cool word! dastardly.
