    that Elements is pretty cool stuff I tellya. on Mangelsdorff: his multiphonics can sound like a bit of a put on at times. I have been shied away from investing in this later stuff partly by that. OTOH, an album like Hot Hut (1985), with Elveeen Jones, presents some pretty great stuff, multiphonics and all. Also the MPS album with duo recordings is very nice as I recall.

    I can't accept statements like this, couw! I think I'll delete my message... on the Rat front: some days ago I made a dub of an FMP LP by Brötzmann titled Elements (1971). Fiery stuff with some pretty moments. Features Mangelsdorff to make it more interesting. Anyone heard (of) that one? Opinions? Oh, wait, let me quote that before you can delete anything Dratz!

  7. second that last remark. I particularly like Hamilton's dirty down clarinet here. From Mike's discography I gathered as much about it being on Urania, thanks for pointing me to the title. Mike lists an additional tune titled "Fascinating Rhythm," that was not on the LP I believe, but on a later reissue (?). Finally having some time to REvisit some of my collection...
  8. ordered them from Wewerka direct: http://www.wewerka-online.de/ That was a bit cumbersome as they don't seem to reply their emails, so I called them up in the end. these disks are 15EUR plus shipping. I'm still eyeing that Koller myself. The Koller performance on the Night Bounce Ronnie Ross session is another great one. This is a splendid little catalogue.
  9. This is such a great set! And the 20bit domestic disc, IMO, sounds just amazing! Definitely "you are there" sound on that one. I'd love to hear what you think... I like it! Got to hear it some more times, but the first impression is very positive! A bit on the short side - I'd love to hear more of the quintet, but the two trio tracks are very good, too! Tyner definitively smokes! ubu need to spin it again, memory tells me I was underwhelmed

    Andrzej Kurylewicz

    I have two LPs featuring Kurylewicz. One is a pretty solid big band date with that crime jazz/tellyvision feel to it. Nothing utterly special, but very nice. Some parts sound a bit "stiff," but the vast majority goes down smoothly swinging, and yet others are very interesting full colour affairs with a nice euro sound. And Kurylewicz plays a mean valve trombone. Then I have a 10" LP titled Jazz '58, by singer Wanda Warska, accompanied by Kurylewicz on piano, Dylag on bass and Dabrowsky on drums. I think this must be the same guy. Inspite of some very original titles like "Moonlight in Vermouth," Ms Warska sings with a nice soft-toned voice and this is very enjoyable and pretty music.
  14. the best way would be to let us all listen to what the announcer has to say. And while you're at it, you might as well throw the entire show out way
  15. this is really crazy.

  17. Snap! no, Snap, that was that big guy with the small lady doing tunes like "I've got the Power" and "Welcome to Tomorrow."
  18. that happens a lot if some keep insisting that an average session is actually a great session.

  24. not to nitpick, but it's actually the Count part that is drawn down toward the end by the years coming in underneath. Maybe drop another shadow from the letters as well? sweet dream webmeister.-
