Thanks for taking some work of my tired back mike! I have been meaning to update the booklets I swear, but stuff popped up all over the planet that needed attention first. Anyhow, I'll send you my MSWord file that includes all the titles up to BFT7 (except for BFT4 disk 2) and all personnel and release info. You'll need to shove it around a bit, but it should help I think...

there's some pics I'm not interested in, you can have those.

did anyone tell you yet you need to get that complete village vanguard box?

so long my friend and take good care of yourself and your family. all the best with your new home and job. if you can't take it any longer or need advice on how to spend your money, just drop by here, we'll have some ideas for you. have a cold one on me.

I am sorry to say I still don't... Bit busy here with not much of quality listening time and on top of that we have visitors for the coming week... I'll try and squeeze it in, I have managed so far.

thanks for your concern, rest assured we share it. Lord did offer an easy way to get it all in elctronic format, though and I have nearly finished rearranging that information in the desired table fields. There is at least one Sheridan in the group to check it all against. Working with the Lord material I noticed there are a lot of unclarities due to the format of only listing changes in personnel which seems to lead to small changes not being noted at all. We are still unsure what to do with the information on the actual releases but will probably stick to listing the original album issues (for the LP era); this thread does help clearing up some of that mess, so thanks for that The bigger problem probably lies with all those half hearted half official or downright illegal releases though...

I was already getting crazy over this Basie discography stuff... (almost done on the Lord source...) Swede, care to help out with this project?

is that weird al yankovic in the upper right corner? (nice pic again mikeos)

Chuck Nessa. You can contact him through this board.

petomane more likely

your place would be in primary school learning to read again then tooter explicitly pointed out he was on about the "or" part of his "and/or" dashing, so probably you should read "not so attractive" instead of "not so individual," moreso as he went on to praise Konitz as an improvisor. ah, reading....

I am still trying out new versions of Jancsi Körössy's name in google....

assuming the Dutch are correct on this one, I'll go with Bunink.

so which is it: Nico Bunink, Nico Buninck, or Nico Bunick... the latter I will interpret as poetic freedom...

me again, you already hint at it, but I'll make it more explicit than that. I think it should be possible to somehow pin this kind of stuff down anyhow. To give this concept of "overrated" another context than that of personal likes and dislikes. Howsabout viewing it from a historical perspective or from the - only slightly different - perspective of impact on the music. Are there players that are mentioned time and again in overviews, who to some extent might as well be left out? Players whose management was damn good at pushing the name and who then were not able to fill the big shoes they had been hyped up to fill. Professional integrity is all fine and dandy, but being convinced of yourself isn't going to convince others. It may also end in onanist noodling. And of course the crap has its value in defining the non-crap, but I doubt anyone will start a crusade for the myriads of b3 players that always get mention in the liner notes to indicate that the particular player in question is NOT one of those. (okay, maybe I will start it one day, but I'm only marginal here.) I think it is true that in the end it all comes down to personal taste, but like we discussed on the Jackie Mac thread, I also think that it is possible to leave the personal taste for what it is a bit and talk about the facts without the colour of taste feghing it up completely. From that perspective, I think this is an interesting discussion. If only Eric would now care to explain his stance on KD being overrated...

Name one. Especially one who lacks the "individual" aspect. Eric Alexander?
