  1. Yes, and we all know how strongly Effron feels about him.
  2. 73 candles on one cake? Blow them out all at once and set off the smoke alarm! w/ love from maren & couw
  3. it's in the LPR series: what once was is what you get. So no restoration of solos or other missing pieces of the puzzle. Drat.
  4. and if Manifestation and Leo are really part of one performance, how much music is missing? There is at least one VERY ugly edit at 10:03 in the Manifestation track. Trane's tenor sound is a gripping as ever and Sanders isn't too obtrusive and mostly stick to flute or tenor playing that is more substantial than the occasional howl (end rant). So this was a very welcome surprise from our birthday boy Ubu for me as well. I have never heard Infinity nor Jupiter Variations.
  5. wrong, really. it's all inextricably entangled. you know that. B)
  6. the key here is in the "revisited" I should think. The music leans heavily on earlier "traditional" jazz forms but gives it a very original, modern spin. In that sense it's comparable to the "It just so happens" album by Ray Anderson (to name another 'bonist) of some 10 years ago. Very modern and very original, but yet heavily inspired by all that has gone before. The term "Traditional" indeed is usually reserved for pre-swing New Orleans jazz music; the trad revival of the fifties made it very popular again, but also kicked off the useless discussion of what constitutes jazz and what not. I would not be surprised if there was a wink by Brookmeyer here somewhere. This was my first Giuffre too, I believe. Got quite a bit hooked on his later stuff after this. Those trio performances are more than a treat if you are into that kind of loose, free improv kind of stuff.
  7. that "second half" is the Pan African Festival material right? Have been curious about that stuff. Not good eh? At least the material is on seperate disks, not like the Moncur set, which has two sessions both enjoyable enough in their own right (I find), but not really fitting together all that well.
  8. now where's that link to that scientific research that said that jazz fans are better lovers? was it posted here or on Board Armageddon?
  9. I feel the luck as well. Great stuff!
  10. Yeah well, he could write up a bit of all that knowledge instead of pissing people up their legs over nothing. I am a bit tired of this schtick of bad manners, bad syntax, and bad attitude all for the good of knowing nobody-really-knows-what about Hank and Warne and whom else and bragging about it. Big deal, I have never seen him display it much beyond yelling at others when they are not informed about what colour pants Hank wore on this record date he did after watering his plants and humming up that new tune that is so awesome it makes you go all whack and think of nothing but that redhead that cruises the campus... So fuck me with some genuine *info* on the Hankster or the Marshman then, I'll lap it all up. But please watch your syntax and leave your caps off. It's really very very tiring. Form does matter you know, Warne knows, Hank knows. Grow up.
  11. it's a leftover from ancient times when all communication was still in non-formatted, one font ascii. the ** at both ends of a word do *indeed* indicate stress as nowadays usually done by bold or italics. Some browsers do not support the wacky java this board uses (no offense) and so some users (myself included) use the asterisks as they are put down faster than two sets of two of those square brackets (very awkward monkey grip on a German keyboard), a letter of your choice and a slash to round it off. laziness really.
  12. aric, be constructive or fuck off please thankyou.
  13. Postbox or Cheese???
  14. No need to worry. You gave me a good opportunity to relisten to that happy man! B) does this mean it's NOT the happy man? Should I get that disk that EKE linked anyway? Looks very tasty.
  15. DRATS! I knew I knew! I have this. The ZYX sounds AWFUL so I haven't played it very much. Will remedy and will sit through the ZYX in pennance-
  16. was that a typ-o or don't you like the tune?
  17. yeah well, I'm doing this the other way around an am still working to get to this particular artist... this is a cool tune.
  18. Thank you Alexander for an interesting disk; I guess the Zoll had a lot of fun playing all howmanywerethere of these! You know piano is definitely not my strong suit. I did recognise some upon first listen though. Typing while playing, so let's see what this brings... Track 1. Body and Soul. No idea who's playing, but there are some VERY interesting things going on. Some of the embellishments I could do without, but overall VERY nice. couw is rather impressed with this. Track 2. My guess is this is Mr. Morton. Cannot name the tune. Good stuff with some patented unexpected twists and turns. Track 3. Sleeeeepy. This is a bit too slow to be really interesting and the attempt to make it more interesting by pounding a bit harder I find rather corny really. Track 4. the playing is more modern than the sound. I am baffled by this one and curious to find out who this is. It doesn't sound like any of the usual suspects. Track 5. Satin Doll. Nice schlepping notes on the theme. Solo (w/ characteristic vocalisations) gives it away Bud. I don't know which album, but I guess others have this one nailed already. Track 6. One of those Things. One of them cowboys that does well on the fast shooting, woa. woa! woa!! This is so damn well executed I will venture a guess that it's god Tatum himself Track 7. Lush Life. Very nice solo treatment. This sounds mighty familiar, I probably have this and am proving mikeweil's laws of BFT. Track 8. Man I love. Two pianos, nice, no idea. I venture a careless guess that it's Bill Evans on the right channel. No idea whatsoever on the other player, who has a nice but maybe not very distinct approach. The bass is very nicely throwing things forward. Track 9. This is a Fun track (capital F), my guess is Fats Waller, whom I have got to know as King FUN recently through some complicated trading via this board. Hmmm, long track, this makes me wonder... Either not Waller after all, or transcriptions maybe? Track 10. Cute, too cute for my tastes, this must be Bradbradbrad Mehldau. Track 11. One of those tunes made big by Miles. Prince will come isn't it? The bass is rather nice. Piano goes along nicely and then suddenly... Ugly vocalising! this tells me it's Jarrett. I don't like them and I can't enjoy the piano with these ... Track 12. Monk should Care. Short Monk is also Monk and mighty impressive. brrrr. Track 13. Absolutely clueless. nice, but nothing sticks out enough for couw to venture a guess or to even comment on sensibly. Track 14. I remain clueless & ditto. A bit too pretty at times I find. Bass stands out. Track 15. Body and Soul again (or a variation thereof) to round it up, cool. Nice treatment. No clue. That wasn't too bad! I believe I even nailed some of these.
  19. if you catch him, kick him in the nuts from me please. I betcha Ms. Bardot would agree and I do not even agree with her!
  20. yes
  21. was he in the bible ? didn't people rant about the same thing back then? the only thing I would like is for that old trumpet to resound pretty soon. I hope that means brownie's coming back. or lee. Or maybe even king louis.
  22. none of these stores near couw. will keep eyes open for these tho.
  23. mid afternoon my "beep" past midnight her abouts. couw is having a nice cooled fegging tasty instead.
  24. I can't keep up as is. I am glad some people only recorded so much that I can actually be completist for once -- although 1) I wonder if that's my nature and 2) usually these same artists are so damn obscure that it is hard to find any recording. for their sake: all should have recorded more and get paid well, whatever.
