  1. can't find any mention of tapes of Rollins performing with Bennink. They did perform together according to some Bennink pages.
  2. een: after only some cursory first listen, I was pretty sure I had this one nailed as some tune by the Slime Davis group with Rivers. But listening again and paying (a lot) more attention, I must admit that assesment was full of crap. It sounds MUCH more like Mingus -- with some tune from Changes 1,2,3 right? (too lazy really to check it out.) and a seventies band with George Adams. Adams keeps his limits here and gets to the point. Good. The piano must be Poullaine, yay! The sound on the trumpet is just awful which must have tempted me to skip it on my first, cursory, listen and head straight for number two. What on Earth did they do to the poor trumpet? The whole thing sounds like a pillow got stuck in my ear anyhow. twee: another pillow gets stuck in there for track two. Sonny Boy getting his rocks off. great stuff, someone tell me what tune please. Sounds like mid sixties, the drummer has some madness up his sleeve, Han Bennink? drie: SNC, no bells ringing here, save for those at the door. Bass is a bit annoying. I will just throw the name of Andre Condouant out there as the guitarist, not that I am that well informed but hey, it IS a cool name right? That would move the whole thing to Europe and make this an in promptu group (mayhap). Doorbells sound pretty fluid, no clue. Bassist has some rocky twangg going in his solo. vier: Blackbird. more pillows. the performance wavers a little, but is generally pretty good. Haven't a clue on any of the players really. Nice that the patrons won't shut up.... The Naima thing is a nice touch. vijf: took me a while to realise this is One Finger Snap. I'll just go with Herbie himself and keep my mouth shut. Tony? Carter? (shut up!) It gets a bit tiresome, must be the sound of the bass. zes: Woody Shaw would be my guess. No idea on the other players really... real nice vibe they got going here. Has a bit of that Tynerish touch in places.
  3. done!
  4. yes, but you can only pick one.
  5. so which colour is best if we want a constipation smiley?
  6. relief
  7. You really shouldn't hold that in like that, your intestines might explode.
  8. the more the merrier. welcome!
  9. it depicts the reason why more and more informatics students change university
  10. no, I understood that. Someone else in this thread suggested to take these and frame them. Sorry for the mix up.
  11. the only downside of the box is that the sessions spill across the disks. This is easily remedied by making some CDr copies of course.
  12. those are just big enough for CD booklet sized print outs. Anything bigger no look good no. It looks like a complete series there, only Evolution is missing AFAIK. If you really only want to frame these, I'd opt either for the Cover art books (the large sized, earlier printing), or would try to get decent scans to have printed by some photo lab.

    there are some stunningly fabulous moments on Living Space as well
  15. right-ho, here goes. nummer een: Favorite Things. Very original piano rendition. Bit of a heavy touch, lots of problems, many favourites among those perhaps... very sensitive playing, maybe too much so, can't judge from one track nummer twee: No idea who's playing. Fun stuff, though not immensely so. Blame me for that. There's some riffing in there that makes me think this is rather post-WWII than pre-. klengklengelengklengklengeleng... nummer drie: Hhhhhokay, this is the gigolo and I don't have it. That must mean it's that album by Stan the Man (yes it's him) that I "naturally" don't have "Mister!" Great stuff, glad they took the crap out of the Beatles and laid down something as far out and groovy like this Mofo. When's the RVG scheduled again? nummer vier: damn! is that drummer ever going to lay back with that hihat!? pretty obnoxious, he must be the leader. heheheh. Nah, pianist's date. Tune sounds familiar. Pretty minimalistic in some way this reading, dunno, sounds a bit like they do this every day and there is no effort. nummer vijf: more depressing stuff, this time trombone by an old dude it seems. sounds rusty and slick both at the same time. neat! but still a bit depressing, even though it might as well be spring, jeesh! sounds almost like a bass trumpet or what have ya. No clue on the performer(s). nummer zes: Andy Bey, not much of a fan, can't get past his schlusching sound schomehow. there's some fakeness in there as well, as if it's all really just a show, and I don't like that either. nice enough for sure, but not something I'd go out of my of to acquire. nummer zeven: oh my god it's killing me softly. However nice the alto lays this down, it remains a song to play in the background in a high class bar or club. sounds all pretty and nice and pretty and nice too. I guess a player cannot really do much with the tune, dunno, although it sounds as if the alto would LIKE to take it out at times but is not allowed to. makes it sound a bit mechanic all. nummer acht: yet another ballad. I'm glad it's night here already can't take in much by now. puffing alto on the verge of tenor with some knack for keeping things going where the pianist is hitting yet another one of those "yo I'm broody!" type of plingploings. Nice, but too many in a row, need to listen to this one as a stand alone later. nummer negen: Kenny G on tenor? not of course and this player shows more than that. still, I hear more tricks than story, sorry. nummer tien: much different (in spite of the awful echo off the left, wassup with that?!). guy has some story to tell. the piano going off into stride land reminds me of Byard, not him though. nummer elf: bunch of bigshots. can't place the clarinet. Benny Carter? Clayton? piano cannot place. Hawk? Webster? nah, dunno. some Norman Granz like concert ditty. nummer twaalf: Konitz. all the things. piano is pretty tight in a euro classic kinda way. (been listening to Körössy too much lately, it sticks... this guy is not as good though ) Two alto! fegh, lost on the second one. Sounds much like but much freeer than Konitz (stoopid remark, I know). Clue me in guys! nummer dertien: Lester leaps, but not quite. sounds almost like a free jazzer taking it down. can be anyone really. good stuff! done great disk (albeit with some deficiencies...)
