it's because Mike hasn't typed them up yet. He just reserved the first posts in this thread for later editing.

I think it could be any dance band from the time, possibly with a "famous" clarinet soloist sitting in.

get the Fondation Maeght material

Do you like guitar, Tony? I mean GUITARRRRRRRRRRRR. I'll stay out of this one never caught the right momentum eh? or is it the RRRRRRRRRRRR in GUITARRRRRRRRRRRR that scares you?

Hmm, that looks very silly but might be very useful... It's probably pretty expensive. 708 Euro

harrrr!

Aiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Care to elaborate? Shelly my guess should not make ye of infinite knowledge sad?? No. I was just refering to the concept of Manne-ish drums. Sounds like man-ish. So it sounded a little funny. No? that cannot be. if one thing, the man with the iron clad fist is never funny. or is he? nah!

In that case, John, I should sell all my early Fats Waller discs, as they are only important from an historical perspective, but contain some awful vocal sides. Do you want to buy them? send them over, you have my address. I'll throw you some dimes for that worthless pile of marginalities.

that's precisely what I meant, a big deal at the time, but not as biggie looking back not being able to place it in its historical context. Yup, turns out only the old people knew this one Bird surely is an important guy to the music, but there's loads of stuff I want to hear and the earliest recordings of the Bird are not the priority of my limited funds at the moment. And yadda yadda, of course we should listen to the elders to understand the young ones, but ey, who's gonna bring time into our young lives to accomplish that? and do we need to slurp up every single note the dude played to understand the future? I hope not. This is a rather marginal recording that is utterly interesting to hear, important from a historical perspective and what else not, but I would not necessarily have lived an unhappier life not having heard it altogether. I just hope no one is feeling, let alone being, compelled to listen to shit and is just hearing the stuff (s)he likes and moves onward from there at an own pace and in a self determined direction. that's all.

oooo! cheap shot at the uninitiated! having a members only party, eh? Sorry, but I really don't hear that happening, and trust me, I listened to this track a whole lot 'cause I was pretty sure it was early Bird, but not quite. Not to say that it isn't a great alto break, it is. But (to me) it does not have the in the face kapow quality that made the Bird the greatest of them all. Knowing the facts, sure I can hear more of it all happening. Seeing all the replies here and many if not most missing out on this one, I fear there may be some hindsight colouration of the facts here. Us spoiled & jaded young folks is to blame for all of this for sure.

Hate to quote myself but I already identified the Sidewinder track a long time ago. no one implied you didn't

I have a sense of humour

not an answer to your querie, but an interesting listing of workshops and concerts for the NDR: http://www.uni-duisburg.de/AVMZ/frohne/discos/hamburg.htm many mentions of Ross, I see some are not mentioned in your discography listing yet (?)

that line up looks very interesting with those cellos. I'll be googling for some answers...

Jim, It's probably none of my business, but I think the story you got up on the CDstreet site can use a little polishing. The most important point here is that Organissimo will no longer provide CDs through CDstreet. That is what interests the buyers, your whole screaming manifest they can probably do without. I understand you want to yell a lot and loud at CDstreet, but I, like Hans, doubt it is the right thing to do on their site as it may lead to trouble you're not waiting for. Further, a more calm approach pointing it all out would be more effective I think. Look at it this way, if you can calmly redirect sales from CDstreet to CDbaby without making too much noise, you get what you want and even more by using the CDstreet site as additional free advertising. Just my worried 2cts, I would leave out most of the exclamation marks and start the text more factually. The whole story that follows is true and sad enough for sure, but if CDstreet was indeed going through a rough time, skidding bankrupcy and whatnot, it is perfectly understandable your mails were not answered for months on end (just trying to see the other side here). The formal lawyer speak reply you finally got sux big time too, but what's a company gonna do? The shouting isn't helping anyone really and the facts speak for themselves. I've taken the liberty to propose an alternative toned-down text:
