In light of recent discussion, maybe we can have Pres sitting in for Ornette w/ Izenzon & Moffett at the Golden Circle.

hey wait a minute! it's not as if it's your birthday or anything!

I'm game! very curious about anything you deem "too far out" to include in the regular BFT!

I believe the Schifrin was reissued in Japan a couple of months ago.

that's okay Lon. The Fist will be here shortly... I like this album a whole lot. There is a lot of crosspollination not only between Hartman and Trane, but certainly also with the other members of the Quartet. The voice of Hartman seems to illicit some thus far unheard greatness from Trane's horn. My personal favourite is Lush Life. The tenor solo is one of the most expressive ones Trane ever played. I doubt whether he would have pulled that off without Hartman setting up the perimeter and throwing up some balls for Trane to catch or let drop.

I'd appreciate some advice here

TOCJ 1609

woa! cool word! B)

chuck, I sent you an email.

You can get a spanish N anytime you want: ALT + 165 Ñ yeah, but is it filthy?

there's a thin line between invalid points and insult

happy birthday!

He plays on the Slide Hampton album Exodus (feat. Richard Williams, Nat Pavone, tp; Slide Hampton, Benjamin Jacobs-El, tb; George Coleman, ts; Jay Cameron, bs; Butch Warren, b; Vinnie Ruggiero, ds). This was recorded in november 1962 for Philips, now available in the JiParis series. Was he a steady member in Slide's band at the time?

google usenet search gave me this email address: aldo.c/o@aldosinesioeditore.it and the according site. I am not able to reach this www.aldosinesioeditore.it though. there's talk about aldo leaving the scene in the mid nineties and returning in 2000 or so, only to disappear again shortly after. (do a google search for "Aldo Sinesio" and click on the <groups> tab for more blasts from the past)

so are you taking a vacation because you just finished the warne disk or did you finish the warne disk because you wanted to take a vacation?

that's one big nose to overlook man!

FUCK OFF shallow man, you talk about NEO NAZIS. those are the same guys marching through my street on a bad day. THIS SHIT IS HAPPENING. and it has nothing to do with age old sentiments. get real man. thanks for adhering to my modest request.

no problem jim, that was actually a smile I needed.

duh! I wrote tenor didn't I? weird... maybe I should go to bed

what's the matter? can't find the content for the lack of form? are you that much bound to technical restrictions? you disappoint me. I am just being lazy. you are just being a jerk. but that's okay. we're all in it together aren't we? anyhow: I would very much appreciate if you could not refer to nazis anymore. I have some personal reasons for asking, I hope you will take to my request without my elaborating. thank you.

yeah well, all you have to do is click your heels together three times

can we please leave out the nazi references. it's bad enough as it is.

german my friend, german! it's the french keyboards that are weird.

Looks like I am the first one, oh well: here goes nothing... First of all: thanks a lot Vint for a great selection of tunes. I have really enjoyed this one. I have listened several times already, but this is the first time I'm concentrating on this stuff. I hope I can revisit this stuff soon and give it a second run through w/ both ears all over it. I am not sure that will happen any time soon though and so I am gonna post this half baked series of half baked guesse. I hope you don't mind. Track 1. Unlike Vint himself, I am not able to pin the first track on first go. But this does get a HELLYEAH from me! Great way to open a disk. The bombastic James Bond like sounds and the sharp stings in combination with the heavy triphop beat and percussion remind me of Jerry van Rooijen or Funki Porcini or even Amon Tobin. All great artists combining sometimes more than just a little corny clichées with unexpected sounds to form great new works. I have quite a lot of this kind of stuff but do not listen to it enough. I will remedy that, thanks for the push Vint! Track 2. Great segue, more uptempo (and uplifting!) filmic music. Not my strong point, I'm afraid, but very, very enjoyable. I have always loved that fast "circular" drum pattern that sets in around the 2:10 mark. It is also featured heavily in the film Welcome To The Dollhouse, which I like a lot, particularly also because of that music. Probably The Fonz would say it's cool as well. Eeeyyyy! Track 3. And here's some more! It doesn't get easier, though I have a VERY distinct nagging feeling that I know this one. The alto sounds WAY familiar. The bass guitar licks assisting in the theme vamp, remind me of Gainsbourg. The whole thing strikes me as Franco-Italian movie music somehow. I'll have to give this one another listen. Track 4. Thanks a bunch, this is the first title in the set of which I am sure I have it. Beats me for the moment though. The pianist has some wicked monkism up his sleeve (it's not Sphere though). The overall sound has me thinking this is post-60s. Drats! Track 5. Another one I am sure of I own. Probably on one of those many JiParis disks. The head sounds like Hodeir, or like some Kenny Clarke group. The sound is a bit wavering on the cymbals, weird. Did you edit this one? Drats one more! Track 6. It's not getting easier. This is way cool (again). Reminiscent of the Pink Panther Theme initially. Very mysterious and with some very tasty playing. Love the flute and the abundant use of darker intonations. It's a damn spy movie you got running here. I hope we won't have to wait too long for them love scenes Track 7. I am absolutely sure I have this. That's the third time this happens. I'll listen again (and again and again) and do some referencing. And Drats again! This is the kind of music I play to relax. Not the stuff I sit down with and listen to with all my might. I can forgive myself for not being able to name these tracks, but it is a damn shame of course as I really like them. Track 8. Mysterious flute sting. Surely film music. Should I know this? probably yes... Track 9. Done before I got a chance to write anything down. Great tune nonetheless. I like the minimalistic approach. This reminds me of the stuff John Lurie wrote and played. Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure this is Garter Belt/End Theme from the music he did for the film Variety (paired w/ Down by Law on CD), but what's with the percussion? Track 10. I have no specific comments other than that I like this well enough. Not going berserk over it though. Track 11. Same theme, great, like this one better though! It must be that damn big pokey nose showing around the corner! Track 12. Swing it out Baby! Like in '39! I wonder how long it takes for Mr Sangrey to get this one right. Track 13. Very nice. If you'd just handed me a list with the instrumentation, I would have declined. I am not much of a fan of the accordion and also here, there are some tones that really rub me the wrong way (was this enhanced somehow?) The tenor is georgious; probably should know who this is. Very nice & enjoyable stuff and I am really curious. Track 14. More of that accordion stuff, and heck I like it. This is of course rather smooth stuff, and it has a touch of sad sailors chanting in the harbour. Damn tasty playing by all involved. Track 15. Not much of a fan of the overall sound they got going here. The accordion actually makes it better. And although it gets better along the way, the rest reminds me too much of a crappy television cop series to capture my full attention. The bass sounds dull. No likee. Track 16. More yucky sound. Too poppish for these ears. Track 17. Don't care much for the sax, too bluntly cool. The organ is great though and even the finger snapping is okay with me. Another very short one. Track 18. hey! done already. Cool sting, but ??? Track 19. more of that Lurie like stuff. Sexmob maybe? I like it. Track 20. Fun way to end this. No idea on who is playing, probably also because I really cannot concentrate anymore. Shit on your floor. When I started this I was feeling rather "empty," now I am completely drained. I wish I could have done better.

Hey look! DEEP is making friends with the fist! Way to go DEEP!
