Vy-a-duck, vy-a-no chicken? To get to the other side? There is no dark side of the chicken. It's all dark. that's against dialectics

and it's the way DubYa talks too! I'll never cease to amaze at the wonders of dialectics! They're so encompassing all and yet incorporating nothing.

you're too one sided man!

what's he adjusting his tie for as if he is dressing. This is strange. One can think up a lot of stories surrounding this photo, but that little detail makes them all a bit awkward.

you missed a vowel there. of course only those snotty british type vowels where you don't hear them, but this looks silly too.

more dialectics! I love that stuff and it is one of my favourite words too!

they're up. If you are interested, go here: http://mitglied.lycos.de/couw/Ayler/ and get the BlahBlah mp3s. The first part (4:34) has a yet unidentified (by me, I'm no expert) piece to start it all off, then follows a lot of talk about what constitutes free jazz and Ayler's place in it all. This was followed by "Our Prayer" from the Village Vanguard Live set (not included in mp3). Then follows the second talking part (7:04) in which Ayler is compared to Ornette and Trane and in which the details of the Salle Pleyel performance are discussed. There is mention of 13 Nov and later also of 18 Dec. I cannot clearly make out what's up with those dates exactly.

I'll put up the french talking guys later. I have some difficulty understanding them, and it would be nice to know what details they have on the context of this recording. As I understand it there has been a first concert that ended with 20mins of Ayler, this must be the Lörrach/Paris stuff. The piece above is from a second concert, which started at midnight. Maybe someone with a better grasp of fast french can confirm this.

pizza boxes beat them all!

Just listened to this on web-stream. After starting off with "Our Prayer" (sounds like VV to me), it has a lot of talking about what constitutes free jazz and blahblah (all in french), after which we get a five and a half minute performance of Truth Is Marching In. Sound Quality is pretty bad. The reason to keep this one is for the audience reaction, which is indeed wildly split between "cool beans!" and "WTF?!" Apparantly, this is the missing piece from the 13 Nov. 1966 Salle Pleyel performance. I have never heard any of it, I'm afraid. For those interested, I have recorded the stream and have put the Truth online. [drats! this whole lycos crap is driving me insane! ...hang on...] sorry for the inconvenience, I've put the thing up under another directory/name. Please surf here: http://mitglied.lycos.de/couw/Ayler/ to find the mp3.

not that it helps, but that rain becomes sun becomes rain (or v.v.) line is from tarot I believe.

Are you crazy? no, it's called having taste. that's what they say of wynton too.

and a so many levels!!! (pay your checks to 888-dialectica)

that final line explains some ...

compared to critically listening to and guestimating on 2 dozen tunes, you came away down easy aisle.

yes we do, one might view it as an outcome of a "jazz=art" + "art can be taught" culture.

pity they only have server capacity for 100 streaming audio listeners

the sweat bands are a real nice touch Joe

culture itself is a standardized training system

are you feeling okay tooter?

does that mean Joe already has the shirt? woa! can we see a pic please?

the circle is also used to denote ZERO, or nothing at all. Besides the alpha and omega of infinity, OrganissimO is also the be all and end all of nothing. Remember the teachings of Toa though, that say that nothing is also something. And often even more important than the something it is defined by. Combine this with the fact that the name is an anagramme of Omission Rag, or dusting cloth, and you're getting even closer to the truth. The allusions to earthy Organ and heavenly Om further deepen the picture of the dialectic completeness that is OrganissimO. Film at eleven.

maybe someone can read through all those posts and keep a score card on stupidity/seriousness. anyone around with little to do?
