  1. Wild dance in a remote mountain hut. hardly heard of these guys before. Only know Jorrit Dijkstra, Alan Purves, and Michel Duijves rings a faint bell. The more obscure European stuff I hear, the more I am convinced that it is actually a central European thing, stretching from Moscow to Amsterdam an from Helsinki to Rome. Not that familiar with the Western German scene, but I know that there is a lot of stuff from the East with these Kurt Weill-ishly folk inspired, "simplistic" nursery rhyme-like themes then followed by often very funny deconstructive fun. I was surprised by how much it sounded like the Breuker and other Dutch things I used to hear at home when I dug a little deeper into the GDR scene of the past. Much less of this sort of thing seems to have been done in Poland, DD tells me there's some from Russia though, and I know there's similarr stuff from Finland, the Balkan, and of course Italy.
  2. I knew I should have made that a Batman spotlight! That would have thrown the Golden Arm off for a little more.
  3. I have some Trzaskowski on vinyl. One trio tune on a 10" I would have to dig out, and three tunes supporting Ronnie Ross at he Jazz Jamboree 1961. Judging from that, they might as well had invited our friend Iancsi Körössy to do the honours. His piano playing is much in a similar modern Euro-Tristanite style. Pretty cool I find.
  4. yeah, someone has to! please relieve me of my suffering!
  5. no doubt the guy had a BIG sense of humour. I love how he messes up some of the silly novelty songs he had to work with.
  6. looks good. think positive thoughts folks! scream a little in the Linda Ronstadt thread, maybe it helps... positive thoughts:

  10. nope, the Bebop date is with Nat Peck, Don Byas & Bernard Peiffer; recorded 7 July 1949 for Blue Star in Paris.
  11. sometimes I am not myself, or at least, this Board's software seems to think so...
  12. howzabout the 2LP re-releases of way back when. I hear they are supposed to be quite okay. Any comments?
  13. can we have that neato classy divider: also on the other pages (recent additions/changes) instead of the three stars?
  14. Spongebong Hemppants
  15. yeah, just get the cheapest you can find and spend 15$ anyhow and you won't notice after the second bottle. You may the next day though....
  16. German speaking saxophonist. yes, times have changed. hey folks, get that Ronnie Ross disk, it cooks like granny's hot stew (with the little crunchy bacon in it)!
  17. either that or have a thread like the funny rat to get your regular dose. none of the current headers is very suited to put that under though.
  18. It's getting better, I just got the email notification before the actual PM, I think

  20. yes Can you figure out whom I had in their first? Benny Green? wait no,... Freddie King?
  21. szzzay whatzz??? to be a fly inside of Monk's piano. I think that would have been cool. Just to make certain the brain goes crazy before that one day you got to live is up.
