cool, learn something everyday. Never knew this one was released under another title. you'll end up loving the flute after listening to this one a couple of times. or not. I did, it's cozy here, you might as well join.

on Flute Flight there is more Jaspar than Mann. Only two tracks feature both flautists, the remaining three only have Jaspar. A bit strange that the album was sold as (and still is on CD) with Mann's name first. Publicity and money making of course, but damn! as if Jaspar needed Mann to introduce him! brownie is absolutely correct when he states that Jaspar's flute style was one of the most unique around. hey, couw *loves* it (fine by me that Mann shuts up after two tunes...)

couw got close to more than he would have expected. Still love that crappy organ on Manteca. I mean, it IS crappy, totally in line and artistically correct and whatnot, but still: crappy. Love it. Hank Jones it is then. did get that from all the replies to the guess thread, but still am pleased that I myself heard "something" to make this guess the right guess. His album with Bobby Jaspar was just mentioned again elsewhere on this board; that one I have loved from the very first minute I heard it. I will live a hundred and never recognise Poinciana. Missed this one on several occasions when casually listening to my own stuff. The Blue Mitchel is a nice one. I don't have or know that album, sounds like a candidate for a pretty re-release with the right (not too blue) cover art. The front line struck me as rather original somehow. With the trumpet as utter feature and the others as support. Not the usual BN treatment and yet it sounded as such. Oscar Peterson was a lucky guess, I really do not know his playing that well. I never took to the hassle of collecting his music, like it in doses and the right mood; maybe I should invest more effort, maybe I might as well go ahead like I am doing and check his stuff as it comes my way, which will be in small doses so that's just right. another thanks to Daniel. I spend quite some time with this one and it were good times. My world hasn't changed, but there are some fond memories that will stick (I think).

as I mentioned before, that design is a bit "unstable." The "www" being longer than the "org" makes it too asymmetric for large size and centre position of the circle, the distance to the border does matter to make it all look fine. And it's "off" here- On the small breast pocket version there is no problem, that one is placed out of centre anyhow. I tried making the "www" shorter and that doesn't look too good as the letters get too slender to fit with the rest; making the "org" longer makes those letters too fat and pulls the "o" out of being a circle. I understand this may all sound like details details details, but I think those are really important if you want to make the big pic look good. It doesn't look good to me; I had my qualms about posting it really, but y'all were so pushy ... maybe someone can correct this asymmetry, impossible seems to have some more fonts than I do. I'll give it another try but the deadline is tomorrow if I understand correctly. Who needs what before that deadline??

D'oh! hah! it's catesta checking whether he's not overdoing it in daily stats in his quest to overtake the head honcho of the site...! Knew it! As I have said before: I blame catesta

killer stuff once again. very solid fun for the family.

could well be. all's fine again now. The slowness comes in bouts.

Be sure to read his other pearls of wisdom. (I'm guessing that he's 12 years old... or just very backward.) Double ! yup, but this pic is pretty funny...

The behaviour of Italian player Totti is currently being scrutinised by UEFA officials. The danish television channel DR published a sequence of pics clearly showing him spitting the Dane Christian Poulsen in the face. Tottis snotter

tadaa!

you go out at night dressed in nothing but a black thong??

there isn't?

the subtext is now that blueish grey from the outer circkle, not black. we can do the grey of the inner circle for the text on the black background. couw is still partial to the lavender shirts...

cloudy & windy your pants are on fire

What Ubu is asking for here is really very simple, it is for you out there to share your recollections, any recollections, related to Basie. We will then want to use those to make a kind of scrap book on the Basie site. Short anecdotes of how you saw the band perform, how you bought your first Basie record and were blown off your socks, or about that time you met that guy from the band. Anything goes. This is your chance to make up for all them rekkid kompanies and the stoopid general public not noticing the Count celebrates his 100th birthday this year.
