Who wants to be my friend? only if you burn me a set first.

Edward, check this thread it started as a general thread on vibists, but sort of derailed into a Tjader rec fest towards the end. There's probably more, but I'm not the right person to answer your request properly. "They" will probably show up here soon enough.

and maybe it was taped and maybe not....

maybe there was some static from the electric piano they used on the other tracks (no wait, that was Warne Marsh...) Heck, what do I know, maybe the tape store got flooded or it caught fire. Maybe Bruynickx is lying. Playing this thing at this very moment BTW. Puts a B I G smile on my face!

Bruxnickx list four more titles not included on the VeeJay/Blue Moon CD, which was its first issue, BTW. Wonder why they didn't include them, maybe the tapes are missing? Due to this it's pretty short. didn't know that about the other tracks. Maybe those were flawed in some way, which may explain why this marvellous stuff wasn't released earlier on.

Now here you go... I've been all over trying to find out more about him too and I Googled a different way and lookie here:Danger Girl! (w/ sound bite) click play all audio samples and it's more bft #7!!! Yowzzaaa! even some killer John Barry Seven? I see that he appears on some other compilations regarding TV themes from the UK. Another link that talks up his bio. and that site with the bio also has this useful comment: "There are plenty of Ted Heath Band CDs available now, though you?d have to hunt for those that credit arrangers. "Lunar Walk" has been on quite a few Castle Communications CDs of TV theme compilations." thanks for clearing the mist chaps!

It's always astounding to note that Plas Johnson's tenor sound is soooo recognisable, yet he hardly gets mentioned. I believe he got mentioned twice on the guess-thread and both times there was a question mark. Yet very many people had a pink panther association with track 6. WRT track 7: I should have known earlier. It took me WAY too long to put the right tag on this fabulous music. Les Condon on trumpet is absolutely great, hysterical was what Nate called it. Reminds me of Nat Adderley on a weird day. Bill Le Sage on doorbells absolutely RULES and I was surprised so many people were 100% sure it was Booby. I didn't hear that (as if I know anything about vibists). I would certainly like to know more about track 8 and that Hawksworth guy. more later...

A great album. I will certainly revisit it. This was my very first album with Lee as the leader. I had the choice between the TOCJ of JacMac's Action!!! and the TOCJ of the Procrastinator. My choice fell on the Morgan title. I did not regret that during the one week it took me to go to back the store and pick up Action!!! as well. And Ubu: Thanks for putting this on its legs again. Did you PM Claude? I believe Undergroundagent wanted to have a go as well.

Ubu, check out the Tickle Toe album on Vee Jay (Blue Moon). It features a saxophone only big band and has some very WHACK arrangements by Shifrin. Very nice laid back renditions of Watermelon man and Girl from Ipanema

I can hear him mumbling "it has to be here somewhere..."

anyone know when the Rahsaan pic was taken?

like so you mean?

like this you mean?

I am not familiar with Steroid Maximus (track 1), but did like what I heard here. I have some similar stuff, albeit either not so far out WHACK! or WHACK in its own unique way (this is probably true for all things WHACK). This has a similar bombastic, sometimes gothic quality as much of Amon Tobin's output. The big band spy movie stuff is very reminiscent of Jerry Van Rooijen's 25000 Miles per Hour, and the unexpected weird sounds seem straight out of Funki Porcini's. This kind of sampling over a heavy trip hop beat is often scuffed off as stealing and not very original or whatever. When viewed as a sonic painting, different qualities can be found. Many of these artists are absolutely on top of things musically. The comparison with Jeroen Bosch certainly befits this wacko master of the groove. And when talking about sonic painting, Gil Evans is sure to be mentioned. Track 2 is certainly not what I associate with Evans, though. It was a very enjoyable track nonetheless. Only goes to show that weirdness is everywhere on this disk... Right, so that guitar-noir did prove to be a sonic signature of Gainsbourg. I don't have this actually, but I believe I have heard this at a friend's place. Cool stuff. What's the rest of the box like? With the answers in front of me, I can now positively state that I do not have track 4 somewhere there. Beats me why I had the impression I did... And believe it or not, the same goes for track 5 more later...

this is WHACK! virtual knee operation

do it yourself cartoon

there was an old lady who swallowed a fly...

If this ain't weird, and don't know WHAT is... drag stuff into the center and watch it grow. Watch WHAT grow you ask? go and see for yourself...
