check this thread the Reece select seems to be rather firmly planned.

what's a non-alcoholic party? are we not allowed to drink till we drop? I see it's your 50th birthday! that's cause for some serious celebration man! It's unlikely I can make it, it's not exactly around the corner next to the brewery, but I'll organise a cake (I'm good at that!), maybe with a lady in it; or some other gift.

Even better, post your BFT guesses over there and post a link to them here! or don't post a link. what's the difference anyway?

Uh, we could start a new thread and copy our AAJ posts into it, without any coherence, of course... ubu if you want to take it away, good luck finding the coherence in the first place.

only if you do it merely to increase your post count

come on mike! you only need 20 more to beat ubu!

Three!

I fixed it; I had accidentally linked to the sidebar instead of the main page. I was wondering whether it could be that group, as we've been discussing them recently. I still don't like the percussion very much.

about 10ft apart, about 10ft from the sweet spot, about 2ft from the wall/window/cupboard. not much room in our apartment.

really? I didn't know about him before I got that LPr disk. I guess this is another case of having had to be there.

I'd like to hear the stuff he did with Hodeir and a bunch of strings.

we can also all drop by your place then and celebrate your birthday

You're welcome here too - in fact anybody from the board passing through the Rhein-Main area is! let's all go to Mike's place. I think he is at the weighted geographic centre of the European mainland membership. Do you have a big place and is the brewery closeby? :rsly:

it is! it's just far enough to get lost on the way home if your not thinking clearly anymore...

there's a nice write up on AMG

? ? ? ? ? ?

write [ b ] before and [ / b ] after the text you want bold. Get rid of the spaces I put in there though (had to, you wouldn't have seen them otherwise) I DID love the questionmarks BTW

if etc. is nothing but that usual little wave of the hand done with eyes looking downward, I'll trade you for the greenstreet.

that box is underway. I hope it arrives tomorrow.

yes

you are very right Kenny and if I had the time and the wits, I would certainly check out all three on a regular basis. OrgBB has become my home and I rarely venture outside. My wife always tells me to spend more time outside, and my wife is always right.

drats, no clues on 9 and 11 yet...

disk 2 track 1. UrangoTango! (track 3) Great track from a great album. track 2. Deep Night. My guess is Betty Carter, not very familiar with her work, but her name itches in the back of my head, so I'll go with it. I am not much of a fan of that fast 'n furious stuff like it starts after the first chorus by the singer (around 0:55); it's rarely functional. Cheating a bit and checking with AMG I see that the singer has indeed performed the song on this album. track 3. this works better than track 6 of the previous disk, but I am not much in a holiday mood. This reminds me of a Disney Christmas feel good movie with cute animals doing cute things and hopping through the snow in the woods and the good winning in the end. This picks up momentum further into it and on revisiting it; maybe not so bad after all. Still starts off rather shite though... Oh, and I haven't got a clue who's performing, not something I'd go out of my way to acquire. track 4. doorbells with bass and drums. This would probably have me on edge in its original context; it's a bit out of place here though. Hey, I DO like it! It sounds as if this may be part of a longer suite? track 5. yech. sorry, no likee, no likee at all. certainly not after the pointed stuff before, much too smooth. track 6. funky fusion. Sounds like Head Hunters to me.Some nicely relaxed horn & piano solos, nicely contrasting with the busy rhythm background. This sounds like it was made before jazz died on us. The geetarr solo gets more in tune with the busy-ness. track 7. klengklengkleng. The opening promises that it's either gonna be great or complete shite. Not much room there. In one way it holds up, in another it doesn't. I bet this is really great music when having that drunk but hightened awareness in combination with physically feeling tired like you could sleep for weeks. The intro doesn't really fit with that though, so in that respect, it doesn't hold up. I'm curious as to what this is and may actually try it out on one of those occasions (though they get rarer and rarer with age...) track 8. There's a lot going on and there's a lot of conviction in the music. I need some more listenings to get passed the percussion, which gets on my nerves quite a bit. Part of this repels me and part of it draws me in. I haven't decided yet on which is which and on which is stronger. track 9. Drats! I know this one. (the thing is, when you're certain you know it, but can't put a finger on it, you're (rathet: I'm) not able to guess anything anymore.) I hope someone has posted the correct answer to this one. Otherwise I'll go nuts until someone does... track 10. Does definitely not rock my boat. This is a bit too minimalistic from my tastes. The sound concept seems to exclude the story from the music. track 11. Exactly Like You. I don't like the bassist one bit. This is very badly miked and it detracts from the music. It sounds very disjointed. The trumpet (badly miked) and the tenor (too loud) are rather okay, but that's hard to judge with that bass getting in the way all the time. Probably these are VERY famous guys and I am gonna make a fool of myself in not recognizing them, but this is one of those cases where recording quality does detract from the musical qualities. I bet I would enjoy this if I knew who these players were, but the joy would be of an entirely different quality. couw closes curious. Thanks a lot for these two disks Randy. As I wrote before, I am not much in the mood for being grabbed at the moment, save by stuff I pull from my own collection. Nevertheless, there were a lot of tunes I liked quite a bit or even a lot and I am sure that once you reveal the answers I will check some of them out or at least keep them in mind on the short list.
